A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

Different from the gloomy and gloomy Oda in the original castle, in the military camp outside the city, Nagao Kagetora summoned the generals to accompany him and drank and talked with Imagawa Yoshimoto.

Nagao Kagetora greatly praised Imagawa Yoshimoto's moral character, civil and martial arts. Imagawa Yoshimoto is a shogun (note! It is not a common sect, but a common sect. The Muromachi shogunate samurai family has strict divisions. The family structure of your family is clear and clear. The highest-ranking Ashikaga Goichi The clan is also called the Ashikaga Riezo clan. The second class is a clan with three leaders, Isshiki Shibukawa Ishita, etc., and then it is the turn of Ashikaga Domon clan Imagawa Yoshimoto, who is the Kokuchi clan, and his military commander family character Quite low), naturally very proud. Although their family status is low, they are powerful. There are not many powerful people among these high-ranking families now.

Look at Shiba Yitong. Pushing forward a few decades, the Shibabuwei family was a powerful and famous person who determined the direction of Japanese history. Now, they are just a stinky salted fish. Let’s look at Hosokawa Harumoto, who came from the prestigious Hosokawa family, but was beaten so hard by Miyoshi Nagaki that he couldn’t find his way back. I don’t know how many times I have been beaten out of Kyoto, and there is only an empty shell of a leader left. In the past, he shunned Ashikaga Yoshiharu, but now Miyoshi Nagakei is the leader and shuns him on his behalf. The cycle of heaven and earth brings unfavorable retribution.

As for the Hatakeyama family, they only have a few pieces of land left in the corner, and they are still being ignored by their retainers. They are not far from death. Noto Hatakeyama's appearance is even more superficial. The Naga clan, Yusa clan and other retainers are fighting for power and profit, and they no longer take the Hatakeyama family seriously.

But the Imagawa family is different. Suruga Ichikuni is stable, Matsui Munanobu of Toe Hankuni is also doing well, and now he has Izu Hankuni. When the troops are strong and the horses are strong, all it takes is to say "I want to be the elder of the Genji".

Anyway, Imagawa Yoshimoto was very happy after hearing so many compliments. What everyone said was the truth, but behind him was the Zen Master Taiyuan Chongfu Xuezhai who was unparalleled in the world. How could he be fooled by compliments and get fooled by them by laughing and joking.

Then Imagawa Yoshimoto tested Nagao Kagetora in a meaningful way: "Odawara Castle is so majestic and steep, so it must be handled with care after the war." The implication is that I, Imagawa Yoshimoto, am so close, and you yourself have nothing to do with it. Come and completely suppress this area with manpower, and I can watch it for you.

Behind Nagao Kagetora, there is also Naoe Yamato Mamoru (Kagetsuna). Even if Usami Suruga Mamoru (Sadamitsu) doesn't come, his IQ is 100% online. Sure enough, Naoe Keizuna pretended to drink, covered half of his face with his sleeves, and grunted lightly and quickly at Nagao Kagetora.

Naoe Keizuna glanced at someone from time to time and said something to Nagao Kagetora one by one. The more Nagao Kagetora listened, the more he understood. He nodded slightly along with Naoe Keetsuna's words, with a confident expression that said, "I understand."

Nagao Kagetora listened to what Naoe Keizuna said: "This battle is a battle for the revenge of the governor and the government. After the war, everything will naturally be dealt with according to the order of the governor." Taichi Xiaoping heard that, okay, he played the ball well, Ken Uesugi has no right to speak now.

You really can't underestimate the heroes of the world. When two people talk, you go around me and I go around you. It's like playing table tennis. There is no leakage. Ping ping pong is passed to each other and no one misses.

After hearing Nagao Kagetora's reply, Imagawa Yoshimoto said: "Of course I have to obey the orders of the leader of Zuo Kingo Palace. That's very true." He pretended to nod, showing his agreement. Taiyuan Xue Zhai also hinted that Imagawa Yoshimoto did not need to ask any more questions. The matter has not been settled yet, so just test it a little today.

Anyway, the cocktail party ended very happily, and everyone enjoyed themselves. On the other hand, Imagawa Yoshimoto saw how handsome Yamauchi Yoshikatsu was and asked someone to ask about the marriage. After all, the two families are still in a no-war agreement, and if they marry, it will be a strong support.

Everyone on the banquet table was bragging and laughing and laughing. Nagao Kagetora and Imagawa Yoshimoto were not drunk at all, they drank with great restraint. The two of them quietly waited for the private exchange after the meeting.

After the miscellaneous fish and the guests all left, the noisy camp gradually became quiet again. Imagawa Yoshimoto's camp and Nagao Kagetora's camp have been constantly shuttled back and forth by Uma Hatamoto. Although they are allies now, there is no reason to go to other people's camps in the middle of the night. It's still convenient to send secret messages to each other. It's not far in the first place and it only takes less than five minutes to run.

Yamauchi Yoshikatsu, Koheita, a group of Nagao Kagetora's cronies, and the Uesugi Ken|Government group were sitting in the shogunate tent, constantly receiving messages from Imagawa Yoshimoto.

Now according to Nagao Kagetora's wishes, it is best for the Hojo family to commit seppuku on all the men over the age of fifteen, send those under the age of fifteen to become a monk at Zenkoji Temple, and distribute the female relatives to meritorious soldiers. Choose the youngest son of Hojo Ujiyasu or Hojo Umasa to be adopted as the Echigo Nagao clan, and then grant him a family fortune of at least 20,000 kuen.

Although Nagano Yamasa, Nagao Tonocho, Ohta Shimasa and others didn't say much, they obviously didn't have much doubt about it. Cut the weeds without eradicating the roots, but they will grow again when the spring breeze blows. If you kill all the big ones, you can be clean for at least twenty years.

And Uesugi Ken|Masa's three sons died under the butcher's knife of Hojo Ujiyasu. Now he is filled with hatred and wants to tear Hojo Ujiyasu into pieces. He raises his hands and feet to support this.

When everyone saw that His Highness the Commander was willing to give the order in his real name, everyone agreed. Uesugi Kenmasa of Nagao Kagatoraku acted like a villain and directly stated to Imagawa Yoshimoto that this was His Royal Highness the Commander's order.

Imagawa Yoshimoto said that the Hojo family would be overturned in this situation, and they would definitely not agree. The result of not agreeing would be to defend the cage city. No matter how panic-stricken the city is, there are still 15,000 people, and they can't be beaten for a while. There is no need to wait three to five months under the city.

So Imagawa Yoshimoto suggested that all the men over fifteen years old in the Hojo Tsunasei Tamaso clan commit hara-kiri, and the remaining youngest sons should revert to the Fukushima surname and return to Suruga to give themselves a flat and round shape (Imagawa Yoshimoto, what are you doing? The hatred is deep).

Then only three people, Hojo Ujiyasu, Hojo Umasa, and Hojo Nagatsuna (Genan), commit seppuku. Two of these three are family heads, and one is in charge of the Minamimusashi strategy, one of the main forces in attacking Ogiya Chaosada and the Ashikaga Haru clan. The kind that everyone thinks is going to die.

As for the sons of Hojo Ujiyasu, one of the clan members had a certain marriage relationship with Imagawa Yoshimoto and could be directly adopted into the Imagawa clan. The other sons all descended from the famous families that were exterminated by the Hojo family. It is guaranteed that their Hojo gate can have a total of 25,000 kan (one hundred thousand koku, almost half the size of Sagami country).

There are also some other sects. Those who come through marriage will all return to their original surnames, and those who come through adoption will return to their original surnames. This condition was easy to talk about, but Nagao Kagetora finally agreed.

So Imagawa Yoshimoto sent Kazuyama Clan Gen (Ujitsuna had a younger brother, Kasama clan, so he had some connections) into the city to negotiate.
