    For five whole days, Odawara Castle was still as quiet as death. This time, it was not just the townspeople huddled in their houses in a daze with nothing to do. The hearts of the samurai of the Hojo retainers were as silent as a dry well. The two brothers Hojo Ushige and Hojo Ujihide made it clear.  If Odawara Castle does not surrender, he will take the 2,000 troops of the Tamashiro Hojo clan out of the city to surrender. The severe situation makes Hojo Ujiyasuya feel distressed. Even the most optimistic samurai at this time may not be able to laugh.  Hojo Umasa's earnest persuasion was completely useless. Instead, Hojo Ujimasa calmly warned him not to act rashly. As long as he tried to put him under house arrest, he would cause internal strife among the defenders in the city, and might even cause a big riot to break out in Odawara City. Hojo Tsuna  The reputation and connections Cheng has accumulated over the years are not empty.  After learning that their father, who they thought was dead, was still alive, the two brothers Hojo Ushige and Hojo Ujihide had no intention of defending the city. They did not hate the Hojo clan's deception because of their loyalty as courtiers and the influence of years of affection. The Hojo clan's politics  In any case, the two brothers cannot be allowed to lead troops out of the city to join the Kanto family, nor can they be placed under house arrest to force them to change their minds. After all, despite the years of brotherhood, they must also consider the actual situation of Odawara Castle that cannot withstand civil strife.  Nowadays, the Hojo family is already in panic. As long as there is a little fire, it will ignite a raging fire. It is the consensus of generations of the Hojo family that Odawara Castle cannot be allowed to be in chaos. The military morale is scattered and there is no chance for the Hojo clan to overturn the government. He has to consider  What is more appropriate is how to surrender.  This issue stumped the Hojo family tree representatives. They had never discussed how to surrender. After a fierce argument all day long, Hojo Ujiyasu, who abdicated, finally stood up and made the final decision: "Now that the matter is over, there is no need for a ceremony."  If you are confused, don＊t waste time surrendering at Kaicheng!§ The surrender of Kaicheng by the Hojo family was the first major event in Kanto since the beginning of the year. The Kanto samurai once again deeply realized the powerful deterrence of the new K身kata, almost by themselves.  The warriors who swept across all directions in Kanto, whether it was the Kanto martial arts for hundreds of years or the all-powerful names in recent decades, fell at his feet. For a time, the people of Kanto fell into a state of collective silence.  Hojo Ujiyasu's final word also meant that the Sagami and Izu Kingdoms were successfully pacified, and Odawara Castle was opened and handed over to Yukitaka Sanada, who arrived later and was fully under his control.  The blockade of the Ashikaga family on Odawara Castle was completely broken. At the handover ceremony of the castle, the townspeople of Odawara Castle spontaneously stood on both sides of the road and cheered to celebrate the hard-won peace. Sanada Yukitaka was like a victorious general returning to the castle.  The townspeople waved, which made the original owner Hojo Umasa who accompanied them into the city particularly embarrassed.  After completing the handover ceremony of Odawara Castle and disbanding 80% of the garrison in Odawara Castle, more than a hundred members of the Hojo clan and hundreds of members of the clan rushed to Edo Castle under the escort of the Shinano Corps. When Hojo Ujiyasu stepped into Edo Castle  that moment.  What appeared in front of him was a strange scene of countless farmers building a new town in full swing at a large construction site. The sounds of clanking and banging were heard one after another. The frightened war horses were so frightened that they almost knocked a few unlucky samurai off their horses.  Almost every business traveler who comes to Edo Castle will be surprised here. No one would have thought that Kant身 K身f身 was so ambitious. As soon as he arrived in Edo, he started building a new city.  There is no worry that the people of Kanto will threaten the security of Edo Castle.  There is no plan to consider whether the Kanto initial decision will be postponed.  Five hundred Hojo samurai under the banner of Sanshengrin slowly entered Edo Castle, escorted by five thousand troops from Murakami Yoshikiyo's command. The members of the Hojo family family noticed that the townspeople along the way were looking at them curiously.  It seemed strange that the familiar Sanshengren flag appeared in front of them again. Seeing the formation of 5,000 people escorting 500 people, many townspeople knew that the Edo government had won again.  The Hojo family's horse marched slowly, and behind them, a column of hundreds of carriages moved very slowly.  He looked around and said: "Is this the new Edo Castle This is completely different from the Edo Castle a year ago!" This is not the Edo Castle he is familiar with. The place he was familiar with a year ago has already changed beyond recognition.  There are piles of wood and stone materials everywhere. You can vaguely see the traces of some towns and their general planning. The wide roads that were temporarily opened are frozen and hard. Occasionally, a few fast horses gallop past and the smoke is everywhere. The entire plain has been  It became a huge construction site.  The once-familiar Edo Castle disappeared without a trace, and was replaced by a huge city under construction. The Hojo family tree has never seen such a large-scale general recruitment.  He clicked his tongue and exclaimed: "This is the spirit of His Highness K身kata! Looking at the spirit of Edo Castle, he has the ambition of Kanto!" "I think it's more than that! Maybe he has the world in mind." "That's not true.  Wrong! It must be a lie for His Highness K身kata to be promoted to the Ashikaga Riezo as a powerful Ichishou and not to have the world in mind!" "His Highness K身kata may be able to fulfill the long-cherished wish that has not been achieved by generations of K身k身-sama!If this is the case, wouldn＊t we also become heroes?  "    "Hello!  How can you, a bastard, say such things here without fear of being caught and chopped off?  " "Ah, sorry!  I, Koushiro, didn't wake up from his sleep just now. What I said was nonsense. Please forget what you just said!  " "It's okay to forget it, but you must show your sincerity tonight!  A city as big as Edo Castle must have some very good bars.  I heard that only in the city where His Highness is located, there is a sufficient supply of Echigo shochu. Can we also have the opportunity to taste it?  " "That makes sense. I also think that only by tasting the wine can you realize the joy of being a man" "You, a brat with no hair, do you know what the joy of being a man is?  A man's pleasure should be found in the whale house. Let me tell you, the taste of a woman is really" A group of warriors huddled together, and their voices gradually became weird and low. From time to time, there was a weird "hehe" sound, and their facial expressions were very lewd.  Hojo Ushimasa turned a deaf ear to the chatter and laughter in his ears. As a governor, the situation he faced may have been earlier. The 1,500 troops entrusted by Sanada Yukitaka were sent to Tamana Castle for resettlement, including this team.  There are more than 500 troops and more than a thousand relatives, which is the power that the Hojo family can command at present. The contact between the Izu clan and the Sagami clan has been temporarily cut off. He still doesn't know how many retainers and warriors he can get back by then. He frowned.  While thinking about countermeasures, a slender hand stretched out from the carriage beside him to open the curtain, revealing a pretty face with a beautiful face and calling out to Hojo Ushimasa softly: "Husband, how long does it take to get there?  My bones were almost falling apart from the jolt of the carriage.  " The Hojo clan came to the carriage and held the woman's warm little hand, and said warmly: "Wait patiently.  Arrived very quickly.  " This woman is the eldest daughter of Takeda Shingen and Mrs. Sanjo. She is also Takeda Shingen's most beloved daughter. She married Hojo Ujimasa's wife Huangmein. As part of a political alliance, she married into the Hojo family as his wife, but she was lucky.  Gaining a precious love, Huang Meiin is probably a strange woman who is envied by countless samurai women in the world. Loving his wife may be a characteristic of the Hojo family. Hojo Ujiyasu loves his wife Zuikeiin very much, even if the Hanakura Rebellion caused chaos in Kadong.  Even though the Hojo family faces a huge crisis, they still remain loyal. As the legitimate son, Hojo Ushimasa inherits his father's fine traditions and carries forward them. He loves his wife Huang Meiin to death. What's even more interesting is Hojo Ujiyasu's eldest son Shinkuro.  After his death, his second son, Hojo Ushimasa, succeeded him as the family governor. As a son, Hojo Ushimasa also had his eldest son, Shinkuro, who died in infancy. His wife was more than eight months pregnant and was carrying his second son, the future Hojo family.  To say that the Hojo family has always been the same as the father and son, to say how deeply the Hojo family loved Huangmein, one only needs to know that when his father-in-law Takeda Shingen broke the covenant and attacked his close relative Imagawa, he resolutely defended the love of Huangmein.  For this reason, he did not hesitate to redefine his most respected father, Hojo Uyasu, or his mother, Zuikeiin, who took pity on the pregnant Huangmein and asked Hojo Uyasu to temporarily let the child be born to avoid the wrath of the thunder.  Huang Meiyuan is in a very relaxed mood now. The surrender of the Hojo family means that he no longer has to worry about his father-in-law, Hojo Ujiyasu, forcing him to divorce. It is said that His Highness Kanto K身ka is a generous man who values ????love and will not let it go.  She and her husband were forced to separate. She did not understand the reason why her father betrayed the alliance and did not want to ask about those complicated matters. She just wanted to give birth to children for her husband and raise the descendants of the Hojo family. She was probably a woman in the Warring States Period.  They all had similar thoughts. Seeing his unsatisfactory son still flirting with the daughter of the Takeda family, Hojo Ujiyasu snorted and looked away at Edo Castle and sighed: "My family also selected Edo.  Tojo is the new city of residence, but it is a pity that the astronomical chaos that spread to Kanto consumed too much time and energy of my Hojo family.  " Ruixiyuan knew her husband's thoughts well. He picked up the curtain and said softly: "Your Highness, are you still thinking about that old grudge?  " "Old grudges have long been forgotten" Hojo Ujiyasu took a deep breath and said: "Don't think about things you shouldn't remember. Thinking too much will only increase your worries.  " After entering the urban area of ??Edo Castle for a long time, the team of several hundred people slowly entered Edo Castle. The military camp stationed outside the city vigilantly blocked the way of the intruders, waiting for Murakami Yoshikiyo to ride his horse and pass the traffic order.  Some samurai of the Hojo family were allowed to enter Edo Castle, and others were arranged to rest in temporary camps on the spot. People had to bow their heads under the eaves. Hojo Ujimasa had no way to refuse this request, but only asked the guards to publish the names of his mother and pregnant wife.  For his sake, a carriage was allowed to enter. The samurai searched carefully around the carriage and then told Hojo Ujimasa in a reasonable manner that the female family members could ride.Enter Edo Castle.  With great gratitude, Hojo Ujimasa entered Edo Castle with a team reduced to more than a hundred people. At this time, Edo Castle no longer had any similarities to the small city of the past.  The open space is temporarily blocked by a wall, and the stone walls placed on the outermost edge are being piled up intensively. Just from the fineness of the stone walls, it can be seen that the scale of this city is definitely much larger than Odawara Castle.  The area inside Edo Castle is very large, and you won＊t feel bored while walking around. After a short walk, you can see nearly a thousand craftsmen shouting slogans and working hard to pull up a beam dozens of meters high.  There are many towering trees piled next to the beams and pillars. They are the best wood from Minami Shinano and Uao. Each tree takes thousands of years to grow into a towering ancient tree.  Hojo Ushimasa guessed that the beams and pillars should be the Ashikaga family's new castle. Looking at the pillars erected in this posture, they were the main beams for building several layers of castle towers. He looked at them for a while and said to himself: "Such a tall beam I'm afraid it will be necessary to build five floors."  Go to the Tianshou Pavilion! What a courageous Highness!§ PS: The second update is at 14:00.
