- "Although advancing cannot conquer the world, retreating can preserve Hojo's century-old foundation."
In Odawara Castle, Hojo Ushimasa listened to Hojo Tsunari's words, smiled slightly, and said: "You and Master Genan are both the most outstanding figures in our family. Since you have both made such a decision, then I fully support it. .¡±
"The Imperial Palace," Hojo Tsunari lowered his head and said, "When the master is humiliated, the subject is humiliated. It means that the subject is incompetent and cannot defeat Takeda and cheer up the family."
Hojo Umasa shook his head and said: "I was indecisive at the beginning. If I had told you earlier, I would have taken the decisive battle with Takeda Nobushige from Odawara, even if I didn't win, I would still have my fate in my own hands. I don't have the bravery of my father back then. To make a decision, I just want to rely on the luck of the fortified city."
"The Imperial Castle." Hojo Tsunari immediately fell to the ground with a thud, tears streaming from his eyes, and said, "I am ashamed of my late lord."
Hojo Umasa said resolutely: "I say this without blaming anyone. I have a gentle temperament and am neither as good as my father nor as powerful as Takeda Sozuki and Oda Nobunaga. It's time for me to return to my family. It¡¯s time to face reality.¡±
"I have decided to retire and give up the position of governor of the family to Shinkuro. The whole country of Musashi can be ceded to Takeda, but the natural danger of Mount Hakone must be in the hands of my family. Let's negotiate with the Takeda family on this condition."
"The most important thing is that our Hojo family is surrendering to K¨hoden, not Takeda. This must be understood by Takeda Sozuki."
"oh!"
Hojo Tsunari replied.
Shinkuro is the son of Hojo Ujimasa and Takeda Shingen's daughter Huang Meiin.
The direct succession of the Hojo clan as the family governor signifies Hojo's goodwill towards Takeda.
In Sagami Country, Takeda Army¡¯s main formation.
In the military tent, Takeda Nobushige, who was wearing a white monk robe, was looking at the huge map of Kanto in front of him.
With Takeda Nobushige holding his hands behind his back, the other hand dropped to his chest, peeling off the rosary beads until they made a clicking sound.
??Takeda Noburen, Oyamada Nobumo. A Noburyu, Daokuma Chaohide, Takeda Nobutoyo, Saegashi Moritomo, Mochizuki Nobuunaga and other generals were all standing behind him.
After a long time, Takeda Nobushige finally placed his palm heavily on the location of Musashi Country on the Kanto map, and said in a deep voice: "This is the end of Kanto."
Takeda Nobuyan nodded slowly. He said to Saegusa Moriyou: "Go and reply to Itabe Okae Sekssai and tell him that our family can agree to the terms of the clan's masaigiri, and the two families can make peace with each other and live in harmony forever."
Sanzhi Shouyou made a sound and was about to turn around.
But Takeda Nobushige said: "Wait a minute."
Sanzhi Shouyou immediately turned around and said, "What are your instructions from Lord Chao Yue?"
Takeda Nobushige turned around and said: "Since Hojo Ujimasa has surrendered to the shogunate and merged with the family, I will ask Hojo Ujimasa to come to Kai in person. See His Highness Kakata as a sign of sincerity."
"In addition, we order all the armies, including the coalition forces of Date, Mogami, and Satake, to continue their march. Unless Hojo Ushimasa agrees, they will never stop attacking!"
After saying all this, all the generals showed joy on their faces.
Takeda Nobunaga took a step forward. He said loudly: "Such a child, I will congratulate my father in advance for pacifying Guandong!"
Takeda Nobushige narrowed his eyes. He stopped his hand and said, "Let's wait until Hojo Ushimasa agrees to visit K¨hoden."
????????????????????????????????????????????? Out of the way, a letter dragon said: "Mr. Chaoyue, although the Hojo family lost the Musashi Kingdom and seized the territory before, it is still nearly two million stones high, and it is still a future trouble."
Oyamada Nobushige and others also had expressions of deep understanding.
Takeda Nobushige's face darkened when he heard this, and said: "With my ability, I can only achieve this limit. If Major General Konoe had not captured Kitanojo Castle this time, my family would never have been able to go so smoothly and force Hojo to make peace. On the contrary, it is in danger of destruction.¡±
"If it weren't for the Major General of the Guards, how could our family be able to unify Kanto today? He is a great talent, and I feel inferior to him."
Listening to Takeda Nobushige's words, all the generals nodded silently.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????"Going a step further, destroying Hojo is not impossible, but there are too many variables, but I dare not take this gamble, so Kanto will stop here, there are more important things below."
Listening to Takeda Nobushige's words, all the Takeda family generals in the military tent let out a cry.
The seventh year of Tianzheng, April.
With Li Xiao commanding the Hida Vietchu Army, they won a great victory in Hokurikudo.
The messy situation in Kanto is finally clear.
In Takeda Nobushige unified Date, Mogami, Satake, Utsunomiya, and ended?Under the siege of the heroes of the Kwantung region, as many as hundreds of thousands of Kwantung Allied Forces.
The Hojo family finally couldn't hold on any longer, and the Hojo clan finally accepted the terms of peace with the Takeda family.
After the Hojo clan ceded the position of governor of the family to the Hojo clan Nao, he personally came to Kai Shusuiji Castle to pay homage to Ashikaga Yoshiaki of the K¨hoden to express his submission to the Muromachi shogunate.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Date Masaki, the governor of the Date family,
The governor of the Mogami family, Yoshimitsu Mogami,
Satake Yoshige, the governor of the Satake family,
Yuuki Haruka, the governor of the Yuki family,
Utsunomiya Hirotsuna, the governor of the Utsunomiya family, all came to Shusuiji Temple, paid homage to Ashikaga Yoshiaki together, and presented tachi, war horses, money, etc.
For these Kanto heroes, Ashikaga Yoshiaki expressed some comfort and said that Kinki was still in the hands of the Oda family, and the daimyo needed to help him go to Luo, bring order to the chaos, and reopen the Kaifu.
Takeda Nobushige, Hojo Ushimasa and others all expressed their agreement with a bang.
On the other hand, on the Hokurikudo side.
Oda Nobutada led the main force of the Oda Army to confront Li Xiaofei and the Central Army of Vietnam.
The two armies each fought several tentative battles, and Oda Nobutada led the main force of the Oda family. Although the force was far superior to Li Xiao, after the fall of Kitanojo Castle, the morale of the Oda army was low, and the wealthy people of the country were unwilling to do their best. On the other hand, the Hida Echu Army was in great momentum, so the Oda Army did not have much advantage.
However, Li Xiao also failed to gain the upper hand in front of two famous generals of the Oda family, Akechi Mitsuhide and Hashiba Hideyoshi.
Neither side dared to invest the main force in a large-scale decisive battle until news of the peace between Hojo and the Takeda family came out.
Oda Nobutada and Li Xiao continue to be in Kitanojo Castle, and there is no point in continuing the confrontation. They just refuse to retreat out of face.
" And Li Xiao also guessed Oda Nobutada's thoughts. He didn't want to waste his main force with the Oda family here and lose his own strength.
At that moment, Li Xiao burned down Beizhizhuang City and retreated first.
Seeing this, Oda Nobutada also felt that he had regained his face. He immediately led the main force of the Oda army to walk around under the burned Kitanojo Castle, then returned to Azuchi Castle and disbanded the army under the city.
Oda Nobutada could not stop it, and the land of Echizen gradually came under Li Xiao's control.
Li Xiao, who is now leading his army back to Kaga in triumph, is in the castle tower of Oyama Gobo.
The new Weishan Yufang is close to being completed.
Li Xiao stood in the castle tower, looking at his new city, while Dazang Changan, who was standing behind him, had a sad face.
Dazang Changan told Li Xiao the expenses for the past six months.
Because of the siege of Kitanojo Castle, the consumption of the past six months, as well as the construction of this new castle, as well as the construction of streets that connect Kaga, Echichu, Noto, and Echizen Shikoku, Li Xiao moved from Sado Jinshan, Kamiooka Ginzan, All the gold and silver accumulated from trade with North Korea were consumed.
Instead, because of this, Li Xiao still owed a huge amount of foreign debt.
This foreign debt was borrowed either from Ming maritime merchants or from Francois. Although the interest rates were not high, the figures were considerable.
Of course, given that Li Xiao currently holds the position of strength among the seven countries in the world, and with Li Xiao's consistent credibility, the Ming Dynasty's maritime merchants and Francois are still willing to lend money to Li Xiao.
Especially Li Dan, the wealthy and powerful group, heard that Li Xiao was attacking Beizhizhuang City, and gave Li Xiao a batch of gunpowder worth 20,000 guan.
Saltpeter is very scarce in Japan, so the ratio of gunpowder is not easy, and most of them rely on imports.
Therefore, Li Dan was also very good at doing favors and brought a shipload of gunpowder from the Ming Dynasty along the way to support Li Xiao.
Li Xiao couldn¡¯t help but shook his head. The Chinese ¡®Pirate King¡¯ who dominated Malacca in history and was revered by Westerners as the ¡®Chinese Captain¡¯ was drinking Longjing tea in front of Li Xiao one sip after another.
Li Dan¡¯s armed merchant ships are more powerful than ever before.
Although it became increasingly difficult to survive in the homeland under the pressure of the Ming Dynasty, Li Dan received strong support from Li Xiao in Japan and opened up a base.
Li Dan now passed through the trade of Sado Jinshan and Kamioka Yinshan, and accumulated a lot of wealth. Relying on this, Li Dan continued to attract and divide the forces in the Ming Dynasty's armed maritime merchants.
Now Li Dan has become somewhat mature, replacing Captain Wufeng back then and becoming a new generation of maritime business leader, contacting the spokesperson of Japan's Ming Dynasty.
But for Li Xiao, conducting maritime trade between Japan and North Korea through Li Dan was not his original intention.
Li Xiao hopesIt was Li Dan who could become Francis and Drake of the Ming Dynasty and even Asia.
As we all know, Queen Elizabeth of the United Kingdom reused pirates like Drake. Ten years later, she defeated the Spanish Armada on the sea and created the hegemony of the Empire on which the sun never sets.
The pirates of Drake's generation led not only the United Kingdom, but also the entire Europe, into the magnificent Age of Discovery. After that, the power of the West advanced rapidly and entered the age of steam and industry, pushing the formerly leading East Asia far away. Leaving the land behind.
So why can¡¯t Li Dan become China¡¯s Drake?
The maritime power of the Ming Dynasty now far exceeds that of any European country at the same time. Why can't there be an Age of Discovery in Asia?
Yes, Li Dan doesn¡¯t have Drake¡¯s luck, he lacks government support.
??The Ming court is dominated by centralization of power, and it is not enough to wipe out people like Li Dan, so I will support it.
Therefore, when the Ming Dynasty did not tolerate it, Li Dan tried to support Tokugawa Ieyasu and provided him with a large amount of financial assistance to gain a foothold in Japan.
It¡¯s a pity that the Tokugawa shogunate later abandoned them.
The Ming Dynasty missed the Age of Discovery, so in Li Xiao¡¯s mind, if the Ming Dynasty and the Tokugawa shogunate could not give them, Li Xiao would give it to them.
