different warring states of japan

Chapter 1637 The Ignorant Hojo Clan
The hot spring was filled with mist, and Yiyin couldn't help moaning comfortably.

The island country is barren, and even the ruling class lives in poverty. The standard of living of the samurai daimyo is not even comparable to that of ordinary people in the land of fish and rice in the Celestial Dynasty.

Fortunately, there is no shortage of hot springs on this volcanic island, and finally I have a good enjoyment to cleanse my body and mind.

Hot springs can relieve pain and restore energy. It is the best recuperation sanctuary for warrior Ji who has been fighting all year round and is sick all over his body.

The hot springs in this era are still exclusive to the nobles. The best hot springs in various places are often classified as private property by the rulers, and ordinary people cannot enjoy them.

At this time, Hakone Mountain is still an important strategic pass, and it is impossible to open it to the outside world casually, and there is no manpower and material resources to find out more springs.

Among the only few springs, Tozawa belongs to warm soup, which is between hot and cold, and the water temperature is [-] to [-] degrees, which has a miraculous effect on the injuries of muscles and bones.

Yiyin walked into the soup room alone, soaked his body with the pool water, and then sat in the hot spring, feeling very comfortable.

One side of the soup room is paved with precious wooden boards, and stone bricks are built around the spring to surround the pool, and the distance is covered by bamboo railings, but the pool is divided into two halves, which looks a little strange.

Regarding the two points in the pool, Yoshihiro didn't think too much about it. What he was worried about now was how to ask the Hojo clan to ask for Imagawa clan truth.

Unlike Shingen Takeda, Ujimasa Hojo is not as close to Yoshigin.

Takeda Shingen and Yoshigin had a daughter, and they were already tied to the same boat. Yoshigin made some excessive demands, and Takeda Shingen was willing to give in.

Because the long-term interests of the Shiba family and the Takeda family are consistent, Takeda Shingen is willing to believe that if he makes a little concession today, his daughter will be able to get a double return in the future.

But the Hojo family is different. The Hojo Clan Zheng and Yoshigin only meet each other a few times, and most of the time when they meet, Yoshiyin suppresses the Hojo Clan Zheng, beats the Hojo Clan, and forces the Hojo Clan to bow their heads and surrender.

Today's Hojo family has indeed given up on the old arrogance, bowed their heads to Yoshiyin, and actively integrated into the Kanto Chamber.

But the more this is the case, the more Yoshihiro must protect the interests of the Hojo family.

It is precisely because he is an outsider that he needs to negotiate in a rigorous manner to be fair, fair and open, so as not to cause any misunderstandings and cause new troubles.

This is Yoshiyin's trouble, because he really has nothing to trade with the Hojo family now.

The Hojo family has been in business for four generations, with a deep foundation, and the Hojo clan government will not be tempted by ordinary benefits.

For example, this crusade against the Dongfang people, as long as no one stops them, the Hojo family can put the Satomi family down.

The rise of the Satomi family in the Anfang country was supported by the second generation of the Hojo family governor.

It's just that after the rise of the Satomi family, they were not greedy enough. They joined forces with external forces such as Satake and Uesugi to aggressively advance the two countries, and backhandedly competed with the Hojo family for territory.

But the strength of the Satomi family can't support such a big ambition, and the Hojo family is often troubled by internal and external troubles, making him feel ashamed.

If it wasn't for the interference of various external forces, just relying on the Satomi family's own strength, the Hojo family would have beaten them all over the place, kneeling and surrendering.

The Uesugi family and the Takeda family needed the support of the Kanto Servant to conquer the East.As for the Hojo family's attack on the Boso Peninsula, it is enough for the Kanto servants not to obstruct and oppose.

So, can Yiyin trade with no objection?It doesn't work either.

Because the crusade against the Eastern Crowd is the reward for the Kanto families to support Yoshiyin and the Oda family in the war. This is a political promise that Yoshiyin must fulfill.

If Yoshihiro uses what he has already promised to embarrass the Hojo family, he will slap himself in the mouth, which will damage his political prestige.

Yoshigin also marveled at the tenacity of the Hojo family.

The rise of the Hojo family was not easy. They were beaten by various Kanto families many times, fell to the brink of collapse several times, and finally survived.

One of the big reasons is that Odawara Castle, which the Hojo family painstakingly managed, is too strong.

Backed by the natural dangers of Mt. Ashgara and Mt. Hakone, Odawara Castle stretches to the coastline, where supplies can be obtained from the outside.It is very difficult for the enemy coming from the Kanto to attack the city by force, and the siege cannot be sieged, so they have no choice but to retreat.

Back then, Yoshigin and Uesugi Kenshin also led troops to attack Odawara Castle, but failed in the end.

Before Hojo's death, taking advantage of Uesugi Kenshin's mistakes, the Jedi counterattacked, leaving Hojo's administration with a relatively complete basic set.

Yoshigin couldn't break the tortoise shell of Odawara Castle back then, and now the political environment in Kanto is dominated by unity, let alone provoke a war and forcefully kill the Hojo family.

Utsunomiya, Satake, and Satomi from the East, Date from the Ou area, and Mogami, they all disobeyed righteousness and jumped out to seek death by themselves.

However, the Hojo family has been very cooperative with Yoshiyin's Shiba's new ideas of peaceful development. Before the unification of the world, Yoshiyin really has no time to take action, and there is no reason to do anything to the Hojo family.

If you can't move, you can only trade.But as I said before, the Hojo family has everything, and Yoshihiro has no bargaining chips suitable for trading.

If he really wants to offer higher conditions for the sake of the Imagawa clan, Yoshigin is also a little worried that the future of the Hojo family will become difficult to control.

The Hojo family has already occupied the Izu Peninsula and the Miura Peninsula. After taking down the Boso Peninsula, the entire Sagami Bay and Edo Bay will become the inland sea of ​​the Hojo family.

Yiyin wanted to offer even higher conditions, not to mention his own reluctance, and the rest of the Guandong Service Office would not allow it, as it would break the balance of power.

Thinking about his thoughts, Yiyin's body soaked in the spring gradually warmed up, and his head began to feel dizzy.

If it really doesn't work, or cause some trouble for the Hojo family?Take the initiative to create some bargaining chips, and then make a deal with the Hojo family?

Yiyin's thoughts became more and more crooked in his drowsiness. He thought of the young and beautiful Hojo Ujimasa at the banquet just now, and the embarrassment and shyness on her face, he couldn't help but think dirty.

Or seduce the Hojo clan?Then use her intention to indecently assault her to punish the Hojo family for being disrespectful?Anyway, Lao Tzu has a living life without violating his body, and how he flirts is pure and innocent.

Thinking about it, Yiyin couldn't help laughing out loud.I am really too bad, no, I can’t do this, it’s too immoral.

The laughter echoed several times in the soup pool, and gradually faded away.At this moment, on the other side behind the bamboo fence in the Tangchi, Yiyin heard the sound of someone entering the water, and his face darkened.

"Who! Who is there!"

The air seemed to be stagnant at this moment. I don't know how long it had passed, but Yiyin couldn't help but let out a cold snort before getting up and leaving without waiting for a response.

The son of a daughter can't sit down.

Yiyin's status is so honorable, he encountered an accident in a strange place, and he had to go out immediately to join the concentric people to ensure his absolute safety.

And his reaction seemed to have stimulated the side of the bamboo fence, only to hear a shy female voice.

"Sage please stop, it's...it's me, Hojo Shizheng."

Just as Yiyin was about to go ashore, his body froze, he looked back at the bamboo fence in surprise, and was speechless in astonishment.

Is it really what you want?Just as I was thinking about how to set a trap for the Hojo family, the opportunity came to me by myself?
The soup pool of Hojo's family turned out to be one body with two sides, allowing two nobles to bathe at the same time.

Yiyin, who was happy to fall from the sky, immediately pretended to be angry and scolded at the bamboo railing.

"Who allowed you to enter the bath at this time? Hojo Shizheng, don't you know whether a man and a woman can accept or not?"

The Hojo Clan on the opposite side was terrified, she seemed to have walked to the edge of the bamboo fence, and said courageously.

"Saint, it's not that I have different etiquette, it's just that I can't find a better opportunity to be alone with the saint and express my heart.

Actually, actually I'm a saint. . "

Hojo Ujimasa was too shy to speak, Yoshigin was also stunned on the other side.

no?When dozing off, not only the pillow but also the bed?Does God take care of me like this?
The Hojo Clan's admiration for Yoshiyin, but Yoshiyin doesn't know anything about it.

Who would have thought that the Hojo Clan, who was beaten by Yoshihiro all over the place because of Sano's leadership of the war, and who has been burdened with original sins, has been unable to raise his head in Hojo's house, has actually been secretly in love with Yoshihiro.

Yiyin was silent for a while, then said.

"His Royal Highness Hojo, please don't say any more, you leave immediately, and I will pretend that this has never happened."

The Hojo Clan's political speech reveals his admiration for him both inside and outside, but Yoshihiro cannot be sure of her authenticity.

After all, Yiyin has already embarked on the way of the gods, and all the warriors in the world know that sleeping with him will bring great benefits, and if he is lucky enough to give birth to a child, he will get riches and honors at his fingertips.

How does Yoshihiro know whether the Hojo Clan is greedy for his own body, or for greater interests?Therefore, he will not easily fall into the trap.

Anyway, the Hojo clan government has already made a mistake, not only invading the hot spring where Yoshin is bathing, but also expressing his love for Yoshin at this time.

These reasons are enough for Yoshigin to go out to perform later, conjure up chips out of thin air, and trade Imagawa Shima with the Hojo family, which is already very flattering.

Yiyin's calculations were loud, but he didn't know that the Hojo clan government didn't rush in to confess in a hurry, but came to the showdown with the firm will of the entire Hojo vassals as the backing.

Hojo Shizheng's personal emotions are actually not that important. The entire Hojo family's fear of the future and anxiety about the future are the biggest driving force for Hojo Shizheng to come forward to confess.

What is a mere Imagawa clan? The Hojo family is going to exchange for a bargaining chip for the bed ticket, but it is hundreds of thousands of stones of land!
With this determination and action alone, the Hojo family is worthy of being the tyrant of Kanto. In order to catch up with this group of gods, they are really willing to spend all their money!

Yiyin thought he had a plan, but Hojo Shizheng's next sentence almost scared him to pee.

"Saint, I will not go.

After the defeat of Sanoling, I was angry, frustrated, lost, and unwilling.

But my mother taught me to really know your enemies and not to blind yourself to useless rage.

So, I have collected a lot of information from you.I know everything about you, and how you overcame all kinds of difficulties and dangers, and braved the wind and waves all the way.

I really admire you, you are the greatest and most resolute warrior in my heart, the person I want to be but can't be.I like you, I adore you, I have been watching you silently.

I am here and I will not leave.

Please let the people of one mind arrest me, a disrespectful and disrespectful person, I am willing to pay the price for what I said today. "

The attitude of the Hojo Clan's government to break the boat, on the contrary, it will not be possible to reorganize the Yoshinobu.

Yoshigin began to sweat, not because of the hot spring, but because of the stubbornness of the Hojo clan.

After all, you are also the supervisor of the Hojo family, why are you stubbornly confessing your love like an ignorant little girl, what should I do?
Can you be more mature, we are all engaged in politics.Politics is the art of compromise. If you don't know how to advance or retreat like this, it will be very difficult to end!
Yiyin just wanted to get some bargaining chips to get the Imagawa clan back.

But if they really got into a fight with the Hojo family and punished the governor of the Hojo family for wanting to eat swan meat, how could the Hojo family still have the face to stay in the Kanto Office in the future?

If it really causes a violent shock, whether it is within the Hojo family or the Kanto servants, it will affect the subsequent war against the Eastern People, and even the future political situation of the entire Kanto.

The Hojo family, an important corner of Guan Yashu, has become turbulent, which is not good for Yoshihiro.

You know, Yoshihiro is still worrying about Uesugi Kenshin at this moment, and since having a daughter, Uesugi Kenshin has become ready to move again.

The internal stability of the Kanto Chamber needs to be balanced by strong feudal clans like the Takeda family and the Hojo family.

If the Hojo family was punished by Yoshigin for rejecting the Hojo clan's rude confession, God knows how many people's interests would be shaken in all aspects from emotion to politics.

Yiyin's dilemma at this moment is falling into Hojo Huanan's calculations.

The old fox Hojo Huanan, the reason why she dared to provoke the young Hojo Clan to make a fuss was because she saw Yoshiyin's character of taking care of the overall situation.

If the matter is small, Yiyin dares to punish him.When things really got serious, Yiyin wanted to numb his claws, cover up, and appease.

In desperation, Yoshihiro could only frighten Hojo Shizheng, hoping that she would retreat in spite of the difficulties.

"His Royal Highness Hojo, do you know what you are talking about? Do you know how much the Hojo family will pay for your rude words?

I still say the same thing, you go out now, I will treat it as nothing happened, I hope you calm down, don't make mistakes! "

Hojo Shizheng has already said what should be said and what should not be said at this moment, but she is relaxed, smiling and facing it calmly.

"I'm very calm now, I've prepared the land in the Edogawa River Basin in Dongbuzang, dedicated it to the saint, and made amends for my Meng Lang today.

So, I want to tell you. .I love you, I have always admired you ah ah ah! "

Hojo Shizheng finally uttered his heart, almost exhausted his body, his body softened, and he leaned contentedly on the bamboo railing in front of him.

But she didn't expect that the bamboo railing turned out to be strong on the outside and strong on the inside, and it seemed to be standing upright, but when she touched it a little, it would collapse and cause a wave of water.

Then, it was Hojo Shimasa and Yoshigin who looked at each other with their eyes facing each other.

The Hojo Clan was cursing in his heart, Hojo Huanan!Ahhhhh!You did not fix the bamboo fence on purpose!It must be!
Yiyin was sweating like a waterfall, he was now stronger than the collapsed bamboo railing in front of him, he didn't expect the Hojo clan government to do things like this in order to confess to himself.

What to do now, what to do?Is it really necessary to punish the Hojo family severely?Isn't Kanto going to mess up again?
What did the Hojo clan just say that he wanted to offer hundreds of thousands of stones of land to Tomuzang?Is she crazy?Or is the whole Hojo family going crazy with her?
No matter what the possibility is, Hojo Ujimasa's move really scared Yoshigin to numbness.

In the distance, Gamo Clan rushed to the door with several concentric Ji warriors, and they also heard Hojo Clan's last scream.

Through the paper door, Gamo Shigo asked eagerly.

"Saint, are you alright?"

Right now, Yiyin was suffering from a splitting headache, and shouted angrily to the outside.

"Get out! Without my order! No one is allowed to come in!"

"Hi!"

Hearing the footsteps of the concentric warriors going away, Yiyin turned back to look at Hojo Shizheng, only to see her lowering her head shyly, not daring to look at Yiyin's upper body standing in the pool.

Yiyin sighed and said helplessly.

"Hojo Shizheng! What do you want me to do now! What the hell are you!"
