About 100 years ago, Hojo Sakumo, who was then called Ise Shinkuro in his prime, served as a shogunate and helped the Imagawa family resolve the issue of inheritance, and received gifts from Kokokuji Castle on the border between Suruga and Izu and dozens of surrounding villages.

At that time, it was a barren land with a population of less than 10,000 and no commercial income or special products, and the scale of the economy was only about 1,000, and it could only support 200 soldiers, and the retainers were limited to six sworn brothers who had roamed the rivers and lakes together when they were teenagers.

Within the Suruga Imagawa family, they are not considered first-class ministers.

However, it is based on this that a series of hard work, pillow and waiting, skillful and reckless, turning the clouds and rain. An exciting and agitated chapter.

Taking advantage of the old authority, the intricate contradictions between the Ashikaga family of the Kamakura Gongfang and the two Uesugi of the Kanto Prefecture were obtained, and Izu, Sagami, Musashi, and Shimoso were successively obtained, and further peeped into Ueno, Shimono, Kamisao, Hitachi, and Anbo. At its peak, it had a territory of 2 million stones, with more than 100,000 troops.

Then, just like the mood in the waka, it withered at the most beautiful moment.

After more than two years of repeated negotiations with the central overlord, he finally turned against each other - or maybe it was a tie, and he never gave the second option in his heart.

More than 200,000 people from all over the world, led by famous generals from all countries, surrounded Odawara and destroyed all resistance with an unstoppable attitude.

The cities were uprooted one after another, and the generals died one after another, like a landslide that could not be stopped.

Nowadays, it is the Xingguo Temple City that is the starting point of the hegemony.

Hojo Sakumo's great-grandson, the fourth-generation head of the family, who created the Hojo clan government in the heyday of the family, received the lenient grace of the Heate Inner Mansion to "allow seppuku to commit suicide", and stabbed himself with a short blade.

His younger brother, another great-grandson of Hojo Sakumo, the only Hojo clan who "knows the general situation", swung his sword with tears in his eyes, and neatly cut off his brother's head. Then I burst into tears, I couldn't help myself, and I subconsciously wanted to put the sharp blade on my neck.

Fortunately, Hojo Sakumo's great-great-grandson, the son of the Hojo clan, was quick and young, and he stepped forward to shoot down the hilt of the sword, preventing a superfluous bloody disaster.

After calming down, Shi Gui also knew that he could never die. He is now the only member of the Hojo family who has been recognized by the Herate Inner Government, if he goes so irresponsibly, he may be gone if he says that he will leave tens of thousands of stone territory!

The life of a samurai is not only for oneself.

However, Hojo Sakumo's another great-grandson photo, but it is easy to worry, after hearing that he is going to be exiled and imprisoned for life, he firmly said that it is better to die, and it is not easy for anyone to persuade him.

For this kind of request that he has never heard of, of course, there is no reason for the draw to refuse. made a favor and let this guy also go to "show the last glory of the samurai".

Hojo Sakumo's other two great-grandsons, Clan and Hissu (Uesugi Keitor), are not so upright, so they are still alive, although they are also a sight of the walking dead lost to their souls.

The retainers were all forgiven, and at worst, they lost their territory, and they could live as commoners, and they were not forbidden to go to other families. However, there are still many people who would rather choose to die and go to Santu River with the old lord as a guest.

Witnessing all this, Hojo and Hojo's uncle and nephew did not have the extra effort to comfort their relatives, friends, and former colleagues, because they needed to return to the Hirate Inner House immediately, repay and "thank you" at the same time.

That's right, the fourth head of the Hojo family can have the opportunity to commit suicide by seppuku, instead of being cut off and hung in the suburbs of Kyoto like the Eyo thief, which is already a treatment that has been won by repeated pleading.

This sense of humiliation and powerlessness adds to the atmosphere of tragedy.

Five generations, nearly 100 years of hard work, to this day.

The starting and ending points are also in Heungguksa Castle. Interesting coincidence, there seems to be providence in the dark.

"The rolling Yangtze River is passing away, and the waves are sweeping away the heroes. Success or failure turns empty. The green mountains are still there, and the sunset is red several times. ”

Hirate wrote a sentence that few people around him could understand.

The Go-Hojo family in the Kanto region is indeed a family worth remembering.

Compared to other Sengoku daimyos, the speed of expansion is not very fast, but every time you occupy a new territory, you can firmly establish yourself.

This is because they will carry out the high-level system of checking the accounts, reform the rules of military conscription, abolish the complicated and exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, promote the improved system of sending children and relatives - the unique system of the city and the city, and bring internal affairs under the overall management of the central executive team...... In a word, it brings the breath of progress.

What is particularly rare is that it not only strengthens the centralization of power, but also effectively improves the living conditions of the people in the territory.

The two concepts of "Gongsi Minroku" and "Village Invitation" have a deep impression of the civil administration of the Edo period.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that they brought food and clothing to the Kanto people.

In the original history, the Kanto Go-Hojo family had a unique position because it was the clearest of all kinds of laws and the documents and materials were well preserved, and it was a great treasure trove in the field of historical research in the Warring States period.

Although the power is declining, the traces left behind will not fade so quickly.

Hirate Honhide decided to spread the deeds of the two loyal and filial sons of the Hojo clan and the Hojo clan, so that everyone in the world would remember the lesson that the Kanto heroes were like clouds and the Hojo clan could not be appointed and lost their country.

The common people should not be convinced that the victory or loss of the Odawara Raid was purely due to size—although that was probably the right solution. It is precisely because it is the correct solution that it is troublesome, and it may lead to the fluctuation of people's hearts in the future.

The vast expanse of rich land in the Kanto region still needs to be dealt with.

Yoshishige Satake, Hirotsuna Utsunomiya, Nobutsuna Sano and others were originally in charge of Andu, and the Nasu family, which had an accident in the battle, retained one-third, which occupied sixty and a half percent of Hitachi's land and eighty percent of Shimono's land.

Satomi's underage Umeomaru was propped up to power, and the power of Anfang Ichikoku and the southern half of the Kamikai was recognized.

As a result, the scattered land of Izu, Sagami, Musashi, Shimoso, Higashi-Ueno, Kitakami-so, and Hitachi-Shimono, which originally belonged to the Hojo family, was vacated.

The first order under the Hirate Honshu was to let the commissioner spend two hours and roughly estimate the stone height of each place. For the time being, it's too late to inspect the land, and there is no idea of immediately including it under the direct jurisdiction, so it doesn't need to be too detailed, and it is enough to have a number as a reference for the transfer.

The newly acquired territories may seem huge, but when you look closely, all of the Outer Daimyo who went to war felt that they deserved to be rewarded, and at least half of them did. If you squander it indiscriminately, it will soon be insufficient.

In the "official history", Toyotomi Hideyoshi was to free up his energy and start invading Korea as soon as possible, and he was generous to the extent that he could be called a generous reward, and with a wave of his hand, he gave a large piece of Zhixing to others, and as a result, he buried a deep hidden danger.

Fortunately, Hirate was not bothered by the "limitations of history", and his understanding of the world situation was much clearer than that of the natives of the 16th century, and he never had the idea of stepping out of Fuso.

First of all, the success rate is very low, and even if you are lucky, you will face endless problems in the future. Not to mention the soul of a former Chinese person, from an emotional point of view, it is not allowed.

As the heir, Yoshimitsu Hirate has long been instilled with the same philosophy, either explicitly or implicitly.

Since you are not in a hurry to "do big things", then you can plan well and carefully ponder the planning of the world's territory.

The basic thing is to try to include the rich areas, transportation hubs, and military points under the direct jurisdiction, and secondly, it is best to make the territories of the powerful foreign daimyo become scattered and intertwined, and the neighbors can restrain each other and consume each other, so that the central power can profit from it.

Speaking of the central power...... the hat of "from the two ministers of the interior and the general of the left guard, and the general of the town guard", I have also been wearing it for a long time.
