Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The New Year at the beginning of Eiroku's third year was particularly difficult. The continuous snowstorms showed no sign of stopping. Even Odawara Castle, located on the west coast of Sagami Bay, suffered heavy snowfall. Hojo Umasa stood in the assessment room and looked at the snow-white world, feeling worried in his heart.  Like a huge mountain that could not be removed from his mind, he was thinking about the adverse effects that the heavy snow would have.  The Hojo family, who adopted Oishi Sadahisa as his adopted son and later returned to the clan, looked after his brother who was restless and said, "It's really annoying that it's snowing all the time. Even going out for hawk hunting has become very inconvenient. My lord, listen."  The elders in the family are discussing that the harvest has been poor for two consecutive years, and it seems that the situation this year will not be very good. " " Ujiteru is right. The current situation is very unfavorable to my Hojo family. It is about to hit the busy farming season and there will be constant snowstorms.  , I'm afraid I'll miss the good time!" Matsuda Shengxiu opened his hazy sleepy eyes and seemed to be trying hard not to doze off so quickly.  The old Matsuda Morihide, who is over eighty years old, is still working hard to serve in the Odawara Castle. This man has lived in Kanto with Hojo Sounmo Shita Izu for more than sixty years. After the baptism of time, the former young and handsome Kyoto samurai has turned into an old man.  There are not many old Kanto warriors like him left who have served as auxiliary ministers in three dynasties. His existence is not only a family elder, but also an important figure in contact with the Kyoto shogunate.  The Matsuda clan comes from the Ashikaga Shogun family's clan of honchos. For generations, the family has handled general affairs and collected taxes for the shogunate. The current shogunate's pontiffs are Matsuda Fujihiro, Matsuda Yorie, Matsuda Mitsutoshi, and Matsuda Yoritaka.  Matsuda Morihide himself went to Kyoto to serve as a member of the shogunate for the shogunate during the Tenbun period, and was in charge of tax collection for the shogunate's royal materials office.  At the same time, he also serves as an important liaison between the Sagami Hojo clan and the shogunate.  Without his support, the Hojo family would not have been able to kill the Uesugi clan of Ogitani in the night battle of Kawagoe.  During the Kanto Tenbun Rebellion, he was majestic and majestic when he killed Furukawa and Kogomi.  But he still hasn't been issued a crusade order by the shogunate. If he had been so unscrupulous a few decades ago, he would definitely be punished. Maybe he would follow the old example of Hojo Soun who destroyed the Horikoshi family and replace him with another samurai family as the leader of the invasion of Kanto.  .  It can be said that the meaning of the existence of veterans like him is to prove to the world that the Hojo family is not only a samurai family that is rapidly becoming a daimyo during the Warring States Period, but also a branch of the Kyoto samurai family that is in line with the interests of the shogunate. To some extent, it is also catering to the resurgence of the shogunate.  The trend is to cater to the political orientation of the powerful neighbor in the north.  Hojo Ushimasa shook his head and said: "What I am most worried about is the powerful enemy in the north! The appetite of the Zhenfu Palace is getting bigger and bigger. Last year, he won a series of brilliant victories in Echuchu, Kaga, and Dewa, and his strength is getting stronger.  As the country becomes stronger and stronger, how can I, the governor of this family, be able to calm down and govern the country and expand my family territory when there are powerful neighbors in the north with ulterior motives?" "After two years of experience as a governor, we suffered an initial defeat in the second war between the Kuomintang and Taiwan.  After winning and then losing in the Mifuneyama battle, Hojo Ushimasa's temperament is much calmer than that of more than a year ago. The young eagle has to go through wind and rain before it can soar into the sky. Hojo Umasa, a young  The family governor went through exactly this reincarnation and re-established a correct outlook on governance.  "My lord, what you mean is" the veteran Yamakaku Sadayoshi asked hesitantly, "Do you want to ask for or agree to the Miyoshi family's alliance? But with the situation of the Hojo family, it is a bit out of my power to lead the next siege! After all, that person in the north  The master's military strategy is really great, and my old master is full of praise for that one!" Upon hearing this, Hojo Umasa frowned slightly and glanced at the three auxiliary military advisors.  Yamato's Ministry of War Shaotong assisted Harutong, and Ise Beizhong maintained his chastity.  Ogasawara Harima Mamoru Yasuhiro saw the three wise generals raising their heads at the same time and shaking their heads slightly at Hojo Ushimasa. He understood that these were several teachers who advised him to calm down.  Many officials in the evaluation room did not notice this episode. The samurai frowned and thought hard, but Hojo Ushige, who was sitting in the back row, curled his lips and snorted: "The Miyoshi family is just a nouveau riche who made his fortune from the bottom up.  , how can it be compared to my Hojo family, who was ordered by the Yatsushiro Lord Jish¨­in to conquer the Kanto generals? I thought that as the guardian, I could control the situation of the Eastern Kingdom, and also launched the so-called Kira siege network. I really don¡¯t know.  How high the sky is and how thick it is!¡± The Ise Hojo clan was a foreigner in Kanto. He wanted to use the name of Hojo to get closer but was ruthlessly exposed. He simply broke out during the Kanto Astronomical Rebellion and claimed that he was the shogunate.  The origin of the Ise clan, the deacon of the political office, has been revealed clearly. If you don¡¯t like to hear it, then I won¡¯t like to act. How come the Kanto samurai are so powerful and they were beaten black and blue by our Kyoto samurai?  Anyway, this group of young samurai in the Hojo family who speak with Kanto country accents have begun to call themselves samurai from Kyoto. They show off the things their ancestors did to Izu under the orders of the shogunate, and even many people who belong to the Hojo family.  The foreigners were so disgusted that the Hojo clan did not stop it and allowed the trend to gradually spread.Get up.  Shimizu Yasuhide is older than Hojo Ushige, and he has joined the family lineage in his late thirties. He relies on not only his excellent political execution ability, but also his good military achievements and the reputation accumulated by his father. His  His father, Shimizu Tsunayoshi, served as Hojo Ujiyasu's fufu, and his mother was Hojo Ujiyasu's wet nurse. Therefore, although he was more than ten years younger than Hojo Ujiyasu, he could still qualify as a brother.  As the patriarch of the Izu Twenty-One Family and the youngest generation patriarch of the Hojo family, Hojo Umasa must maintain a certain degree of respect and courtesy even when he sees him, because he is the youngest patriarch and always has to be reserved.  In order not to hang out with these young samurai who were younger than him, and to cultivate a reputation as a humble and serious person among the older family members, he instead gained a bad reputation among the young samurai for being arrogant.  Seeing Hojo Shige criticizing the Miyoshi family, he deliberately added a few words, then coughed and said: "That Miyoshi repairman suffered a big loss in Kanto last year, when an army of 60,000 troops besieged the Kira family's general Nakajo.  Xiu and the dim-witted Rokkaku Yoshihide fought hard all summer and finally couldn't win Kyoto. They sacrificed tens of thousands of people in vain and only got a relatively decent peace. From this point of view, it is no wonder that they were defeated by the newly rising Zhen Fu Gong!  " Kasahara Yasuaki is not only one of the twenty-one members of Izu, but also a member of the young samurai of the Hojo family.  When his immediate boss spoke up, he also mocked: "The Miyoshi family overestimates their own capabilities. Even the old master personally led the army and was defeated by the Kira family. Heroes such as Dr. Takeda Daisen were also beaten to the point of collapse. How could he be a native of Awa?"  The nouveau riche of the common people can't even deal with the remaining generals of the Kira family, so they dare to imitate us and set up the Kira siege net?  Actively expanding to Shimo Country, how can we spend time with the Miyoshi family to play an anti-Kirara encirclement? " "It's ridiculous to think that we, the Hojo family, can buy tens of thousands of tigers and wolves from my Hojo family with 20,000 yuan of Yongle money to serve them!  You don¡¯t need this little money!¡± ¡°Nonsense! Twenty thousand dollars is a lot of money! Didn¡¯t you see that there have been disasters in the past two years?¡± A group of warriors murmured.  When the discussion started, they kept talking about how powerful the Kira family was. The Zhenfu Gong and Danzhengdian were blooming on both sides of the north and south, and the people of the entire Deyu country were frightened and killed until their livers and gallbladders were broken.  A man as big as Ishiyama Honganji Temple was forced to bow his head and give in. This has never happened before, and it is completely unimaginable.  Matsuda Morihide, who was taking a nap, seemed to be awakened by the discussion of this group of young people. He slowly opened his eyes and after a while, he smacked his lips and said, "I have a plan, I don't know if I should say it or not!" Hojo Ushimasa said in surprise: "Oh.  ? Shengxiudian, please tell me!" "Although the Miyoshi family's strategy is somewhat inappropriate, it is not as useless as imagined. Since the repair doctor Miyoshi is willing to pay a lot of money, let me, the Hojo family, take charge of the anti-Kira siege network, then I will agree to it.  The 20,000 guan Bun Yongle money is exactly the amount of disaster relief my Hojo family urgently needs. After the impact of the current snow disaster is resolved, it will not be too late to discuss how to send troops to attack somewhere. " Matsuda Morihide spoke very slowly, it is difficult to imagine this.  I thought the old man was still very energetic a few years ago.  The important ministers who worked hard for the expansion of the Hojo family. With the heavy blow of the disastrous defeat in the Takayama War, Hojo Ujiyasu resigned as the family governor and lived in seclusion in Odawara. Many veteran ministers also died in the past few years. Matsuda Morihide also suddenly became much older. Until now.  It takes a lot of effort to say even a few words.  Hojo Genan put his palms together and praised: "Tsuma Shoden said well! I also mean the same thing. Regardless of whether the matter is completed or not, take the money first. Can the reserve fund in the treasury be moved or not? There are 20,000 guanwen  Yongle Money can imitate what the Kira family did, buy a large amount of rice and hire farmers to clear the snow, build river defenses, loosen the soil, and then cross the threshold of natural disasters. " Ogasawara Yasuhiro then smiled and agreed: "The Miyoshi family.  He is willing to spend a large sum of money to fight for the Kira family to the death. Why can't the Hojo family take the money and then consider whether to fight for him to the death? The capital is so far away from Kanto, and the Miyoshi family is just a Shikoku nationality.  , it only took more than ten years for it to dominate Kinki, but it has no foundation at all in Kanto. Even if it doesn¡¯t get the rewards it deserves, I¡¯m afraid there¡¯s nothing to complain about!¡± Yamato Harut¨­ smiled at their statement!  Silently, he waited until he finished speaking and then said: "It is not good to damage the reputation of our Hojo family by taking money without doing anything! Since our Hojo family takes people's money, we must do something within our abilitysuch as fighting against Kira's tendency towards Kanto.  The people of the family, such as Satomi Yoshihiro of the Upper Sui Kingdom, Yuuki Harutomo of the Lower Susun Province, Sano Masatsuna of the Lower Subsidiary Province, and Satake Yoshiaki of the Hitachi Province, believe that the Hojo family will work hard to eliminate the Kira family's minions.  Your behavior will definitely be understood by Miyoshi Repair Doctor!¡±  "You're right! You're so right! Let's do it later!" Hojo Ushige shouted excitedly: "Get rid of those Chinese people first, don't care what they do, it's just Kira's job.  It's just a show! Miyoshi Nagakei is not a half-shogun, so how can he reach out to Kinki to influence Kanto? It would be ridiculous if the Miyoshi family offends the Kira family and I, the Hojo, want to imitate the half-shogun's strategy!  Family, let¡¯s see how they can interfere with Kanto affairs!¡± The samurai of the Hojo family have no objection at all to trying to trick the Miyoshi family. If the shogunate made a request, they might consider it carefully, but if it were another matter,  The Miyoshi family, which has no foundation, is different. The Miyoshi family's bluffing hegemony was so fragile in last year's Luozhong battle. It is strange that the Hojo family is afraid of a paper overlord like him.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
