different warring states of japan

Children and grandchildren have their own blessings, so don't be a horse and an ox for your children and grandchildren.This is simple to say, but how many people can avoid it?
For the sake of his daughter, Uesugi Kenshin treated the second and third heirs of the Uesugi family as a thief. He didn't bother to cover up and didn't make any sense.

For the sake of his daughter, Takeda Shingen treats the entire Takeda retainer group as a potential enemy, as if he wants to fight abroad, but his mind is all on pruning the branches and leaves internally, so as not to hurt his daughter's delicate hands in the future.

A mother with a daughter has a different mind, and the whole world has become very different.

In their eyes, there are only two kinds of people in this world, those who are useful to their daughter and those who are harmful to her, and there are only two kinds of things in the world, those that are good for her and those that are not.

Takeda Shingen and Takeda Nobutora discussed for a long time, rested overnight at the Yakuzakikan, left his beloved daughter the next day, and embarked on the journey again.

She led the side near the flag, and went straight to Karuizawa, gathering the elites who came to fight along the way, and a group of warriors riding horses entered the West Ueno through Usui Pass.

Sanada Nobushige had already let go of the border guards as agreed upon, and the Takeda Cavalry was unstopped along the way and rushed to Shimosoguo.

Unlike Uesugi Kenshin and Takeda Shingen, the Hojo clan is not prepared to rescue Qingqi and show his face in front of the saint as soon as possible.

The Hojo Army already had elite troops on the front line of Musashi. As a veteran of four generations, Daidōji Shengmasa has been stationed in Kawagoe City for a long time and has strong autonomy.

The Musashi Kingdom is close to the Shimoso Kingdom, and the Shimoso has a sudden change. Daodaoji Shengchang entered the Edo Castle for defense immediately, and the Hojo family's reaction can be said to be the fastest among all the families.

When the Hojo Clan returned to the Hojo Territory, he did not go to the front line of Edo Castle, but went to Odawara Castle in the opposite direction, intending to mobilize on a large scale.

In Odawara Castle, in the inner room, the Hojo Clan Zheng and Hojo Genan sat opposite each other and had a secret discussion.

Hojo Huanan frowned.

"Why do you want to go your own way, Your Highness?
The sage was trapped in the Xiazong Kingdom, and all the Kanto servants gathered elite cavalry immediately, hoping to enter the Xiazong Kingdom as soon as possible and show their loyalty in front of the sage.

But after you returned, you did not go to Edo Castle to lead the army, but insisted on returning to Odawara Castle to mobilize. What does that mean?What could be more important than offering your allegiance before going to Shengjia the first time? "

The Hojo clan government ignored Hojo Huanan's questioning and asked instead.

"Didn't Aunt Grandma receive the latest information from ahead?
The sage had already taken over the command of Daodaoji Shengchang, and led the Hojo army to attack the Boso coalition army at night, winning a complete victory.

At this moment, the saint should see Yoshihiro's defeated soldiers and poor bandits in the pursuit of the army. The southern line of the Eastern People has collapsed, and the saint's safety does not need us to worry about.

On the contrary, Yoshishige Satake of the northern line besieged Xiaojincheng and attacked the city day and night, intending to go south as soon as possible to fight the saint.

I want to gather all the soldiers of Sagami and Izu to go to Shimosou and assist the saint in defeating Yoshishige Satake, the chief culprit of the rebellion! "

Hojo Huanan shook his head.

"It is our duty to rescue saints, but it is unwise to mobilize them all.

Yoshishige Satake instigated the rebellion of the people in the east with the intention of raiding the saint. His crime is unforgivable, but the Hojo family is not obliged to take full responsibility alone.

It is the common mission of all the samurai in the Kanto Servant to encircle and suppress Yoshishige Satake, and the Hojo family should not have exhausted their military reserves for this matter.

Your Highness, you should be very clear about the cost of fully mobilizing Sagami and Izu. The food and armaments we have accumulated are all for the purpose of attacking the Boso Peninsula and should not be lightly moved. "

Of course the Hojo clan knows what it means to fully mobilize the Sagami and Izu people.

The Hojo family has been operating in Kanto for four generations in the Hojo Ujimasa generation. The Hojo family, which seems to be strong, does not have a deep foundation.

The famous gates of the Kanto trace back to their ancestors, and they can all find their ancestors 500 years ago.

The Hojo family is just a side branch of the Ise family from Kinki. If they pretend to be Hojo Miao, they want to be on an equal footing with the famous Kanto family. Don't dream!

The famous Kanto family never recognized the Hojo family, and even the local samurai families under the Hojo territory lacked a sense of identity with the Hojo family.

Even after four generations, the core Ji warrior group of the Hojo family is still the heirs of the first family governor and the retainers who followed the first generation to Kanto, that is, the Hojo family and the Miyuo six family.

Hojo Genan is the daughter of the first generation and the second generation of the Hojo family.Daidaiji Shengchang is the second generation of the Daidaiji family, one of the six Miyuki families, and serves the fourth generation of the Hojo family.

With these two types of vassals as the core, the Hojo family continued to encroach on and digest the territory. After four generations, in fact, the only Hojo territories that truly belonged to Hojo and never left them were Izu and Sagami.

This is the accumulation of four generations of the Hojo family. The Izu people and the Sagami people are the real old foundation of the Hojo family. As for Musashishitazou, who is dependent on the Hojo family, and other peripheral samurai from various countries, it is unreliable.

Back then, Shiba Yoshigin and Uesugi Kenshin jointly launched the Kanto Raiders, the Hojo Clan was defeated in Sano, and almost all peripheral forces turned against each other.

Hojo Ujiyasu could only shrink his troops and retreat all the way to Odawara Castle. Only in the territory of Sagami Kingdom and backed by Izu Kingdom's reinforcements, could the Hojo family really feel at ease and defend to the death.

Therefore, Hojo Genan didn't understand the Hojo Clan's ideas very much. To use the Izu people and Sagami people to open the warehouse and spend money like water, that is to use the old foundation of the Hojo family to go out and kill people.

If it is to conquer the Boso Peninsula, Hojo Genan can understand no matter how much money, food and military power is used, but is it necessary to use it to fight Satake Yoshishige?

Anyone with a discerning eye can see clearly that Yoshishige Satake has fallen into a desperate situation. She has completely failed in strategy, and the rebellion of the Eastern people has gone awry.

Satake Yoshigetsu, who can't catch the saint, is doomed. Now she is desperately seeking a chance to fight the saint, hoping to survive.

But no one thinks that she can defeat the saint face to face on the battlefield, even the people in the east don't believe it.

If Yoshishige Satake is really that powerful, how can he live in Hitachi at a young age?

Just say in the past few years, which one has been cleaned up by Date Masamune in the north, Oda Ujiji in the south, and Satake Yoshishige?

Yoshishige Satake may have some skills in uniting small and medium samurai families and becoming the leader behind closed doors, but fighting such things depends on talent!
Shiba Yoshigin played at the age of 15. He fought from Kinki to Kanto in [-]. He beat everyone with a hammer, and he never lost once!

He is regarded as the patron saint of the samurai family, the god of war, and the incarnation of Bishamonten. There may be many factors of chance and coincidence, but there is only one fundamental reason, that is, no one can beat him!
How awesome is an opponent who cannot be defeated on the battlefield!
Let’s just say that this time, the Hojo Army was defeated in the battle to cross the river, and the morale of the upper and lower ranks was severely depressed. Yoshihiro Shiba brought a few people into the Hojo Army, pulled out less than 300 people to cross the river overnight, and went to see Yoshihiro again!
Is this something ordinary people can do?
What's even more frightening is that he took a tired army of less than 300 people and defeated the 1-strong Boso coalition army. He saw Yoshihiro fleeing alone, and he didn't even have time to take away the banner and horse seal.

This is still human!

After this battle, if anyone still thinks that Satake Yoshishige has a chance to beat Shiba Yoshigin head-on, then this person must have a brain problem.

According to Hojo Genan's idea, the Hojo Clan Administration should learn from the practice of other Kanto servants, lead some elite cavalry to march quickly, and go to Xiazongguo earlier to show their loyalty.

She couldn't figure out why the Hojo Clan government would pull out the old background of the Hojo family to fight against Satake Yoshishige, and what would be good for the Hojo family?
Satake Yoshishige will be defeated sooner or later, there is no need for the Hojo family to be sentimental, wasting manpower and material resources that were originally planned to be used on the Boso Peninsula, and go to Shimoso to do useless work.

Hojo Clan said in a low voice.

"Because all the families are watching from the sidelines, the Hojo family is so valuable.

Sage led the Hojo Army, which Lord Daidaiji Morimasa belonged to, and had already entered the Boso Peninsula. Satoshi Yoshihiro was no match for Sage, and her mother, Satomi Yoshiyao, was also unable to hold back.

Fang Zong's martial arts families are not fools, they will know how to choose as the sky is about to change.What will happen to the future of the Boso Peninsula once all the Boso families gather to join the Saint?
If the Boso Peninsula was not brought down by my Hojo family, but by a sage, what qualifications do we have to share the majority?

Therefore, I want to use the troops and materials used in the Boso Peninsula to attack Satake Yoshishige.

The Kanto servants are eager to perform and will not waste time mobilizing. They will only lead a few warriors on horseback to join the battle, and appear in front of the saint as soon as possible to show their loyalty.

But is true loyalty acted out?True loyalty is to shed blood for the saint and kill the enemy for the saint!
The Hojo family disdains false loyalty, we want to express true loyalty.

Mobilize our core military force, annihilate the troops of Yoshishige Satake who offended the saint, and wash away the shame of the saint who was forced to go south! "

Hojo Huanan thought about it, shook his head and said.

"The Boso Peninsula is not as easy to win as your Highness said, the eastern and southern parts of Kamiso, and the whole of Anbo, are all mountainous.

Lijian Yiyao is a tough person, and she will never admit defeat until the last moment.

The saint had the hidden danger of Yoshishige Satake behind him, so he couldn't concentrate on dealing with Yoshiyao Satomi, and the battle line advanced as far as Yorogawa at most, approaching Shiizu City, and Yoshiya Satomi was so scared that he couldn't defend it.

I understand what you mean, Your Highness, you are so eager to let the saint understand your intentions, but there is really no need.

Satomi Yoshiyao will not collapse easily, and our Hojo family will still be responsible for the Raiders of the Boso Peninsula. Your worries are unreasonable, let alone rush. "

Hojo Shizheng looked at Hojo Genan, his eyes flickering.

This old woman is the second generation of the Hojo family and has served as the governor of the fourth generation. She is highly respected.She and the old ministers behind her have been restricting the Hojo clan's politics, both in terms of governance and ideology.

Over the years, Hojo Shizheng has been enduring it, because she knows what she is carrying.

The defeat of Sano Ling Hezhan almost wiped out the foundation of several generations of the Hojo family.

Although he was reluctantly promoted to the position of family governor by Yasushi Hojo, the Hojo retainer group was never at ease with the administration of the Hojo clan.

The veterans of the second and third generations grouped together to question the Hojo clan's ability to govern.

Most of the four generations of young men, most of their mothers died in the Sano Territory and at the hands of Shiba Yoshigin, and they were not close to the Hojo Clan.

The Hojo clan had always thought that he could only follow the rules in his life, and be a wimpy and weak family governor who was constrained by others. If he kept his family business intact, he would have lived a mediocre and boring life.

But her life trajectory was completely changed in the hot springs of Mt. Hakone.

After many years of secret love, she finally got her wish. After lingering with Shiba Yoshigin, Hojo Ujimasa, she is no longer what she used to be.

in particular. .Hojo Ujimasa stroked his stomach, his eyes gleaming with kindness.

At this moment, she will no longer succumb to anyone, even her respected grandmother Hojo Genan cannot shake her will.

Hojo Shizheng said lightly.

"I remember, I am the governor of the Hojo family, Master Hojo Huanan, do you want to disobey me?"

Hojo Genan was a little nervous by the gaze of Hojo Ujimasa, she seldom felt this way after her age, which made Hojo Genan wonder if she had neglected something.

She bowed respectfully and said cautiously.

"Of course, you are the governor.

But the foundation of the four generations of the Hojo family is hard-won. I am obliged to do my best to the family governor, and not let the interests of my Hojo family be harmed by random orders.

I was very moved by Your Highness's affection for the saint, but the Hojo family has fulfilled their responsibility and expressed their admiration for the saint.

We have done enough by dedicating the land of Higashi Musashi and handing over His Highness Imagawa Shishin to the sage. "

Hojo Shizheng shook his head.

"Not enough, not far enough.

Uesugi Kenshin gave away half of his family property for the saint.Takeda Shingen gave up the Suruga country, the hub of the Tokaido, for the sake of a saint.

Compared with them, what is a tasteless Tobuzang land, a Imagawa Shima who has been raised for many years and is useless? "

Seeing that the Hojo clan is obsessed with politics and is still emphasizing his own opinions, Hojo Genan can't hold back no matter how good-tempered he is.

Hojo Genan answered stiffly.

"The situation of the Hojo family is different from that of Uesugi Takeda, and your position is even more different from that of Uesugi Takeda."

Hojo Shizheng smiled slightly.

"What is the difference?"

Hojo Genan was so angry that he spit out two names.

"Takeda Rena, Uesugi Miyuki."

Hojo Huanan originally thought that if he said this, the Hojo Clan's administration should be at peace, right?

The Uesugi Takeda and Uesugi families are of the Shiba Yoshiin family, and the God-descendant family is firmly established. Naturally, there is no distinction between you and me, and they are intimate.

But our Hojo family hasn't written a word yet, so why bother to send it to your door in such a hurry, harming yourself and benefiting others?

Unexpectedly, Hojo Shizheng sneered at this, gently stroked his abdomen with his hands, and said indifferently.

"It turns out that my aunt thinks so...then how can you be sure that I don't?"

No matter how old and cunning Hojo Huanan was, her eyes widened in shock at this moment, and the hairs on her back stood up. She looked at Hojo Ujimasa's belly, she was dumbfounded for a moment, and she was speechless.

Hojo Clan Administration. .Pregnant?
