Chapter 183: Return to Ashikaga

"His Majesty's envoy?" Tsukahara Molong looked at the shivering messenger playfully, it is summer now, of course it can't be cold shivering at this time, but around him, there are 50,000 troops, which are surrounding Odawara Castle, and the murderous aura of the army, just being in it, has already made the ministers of the imperial court cold.

The envoy shuddered and took out the documents signed by the emperor and the shogun, respectively, and waited for the surrounding guards to pick them up. Tsukahara Molong didn't care, after he captured Hachioji Castle and Izu Kingdom, the entire Kanto region was purely up to him, "You read it directly, remember to pinch the head and remove the tail, I don't play false." Otherwise, I would have to report to His Majesty the Emperor and His Highness the Shogun that their envoys had encountered bandits on the road. ”

"Yes......" The messenger hurriedly opened the manuscript, and did not dare to care that the other party would not even sit down, so he read it directly. His Majesty the Emperor conferred on you the post of Major General of the Guard, and His Royal Highness the General handed over the position of Governor of the Kanto region to you. ”

Major General of the Guards? Kanto Governor? The Kwantung samurai present suddenly had a feeling of ascending to the sky in one step, you know, Tsukahara Molong didn't have any position before, so he managed the Kanto land with the identity of a general, and now that the lord is developed, his identity will definitely rise.

But Tsukahara MoryΕ« waved his hand, "Didn't His Royal Highness the General mention that I should change back to Ashikaga Miao?" ”

The atmosphere was suddenly stagnant, and everyone remembered that Tsukahara Molong was handed over to Tsukahara Buchuan to be raised by Ashikaga Yoshiaki, in this era of family name, Tsukahara is not a noble name, in order to rule the Kanto region, it is time for Tsukahara Molong to change back to the Miao character.

The messenger was embarrassed, looked at it carefully, and still said, "This, this, this is not ......"

"This can be there." Tsukahara Nobuden, who was sitting in his hand, suddenly spoke, and suddenly made the messenger break out in a cold sweat, this is to tamper with the rhythm of the holy decree, and hurriedly said: "Please think twice, now that the Furukawa Gongfang Hall is still there, if you change back to the Ashikaga Miao character, it will be difficult to be the commander of the Kanto Ashikaga Gate." ”

"Last night, there was a fire in Odawara Castle, and the Furukawa Gongfang Hall was full of doors, all of which were killed by the desperate Hojo family." Kato Duanzo on the side said lightly, but those who know his specialty know that this matter is not as simple as he said, but so what? Odawara Castle has not yet fallen, and the Furukawa Gongfang Hall is dead, so it must be the Hojo family who is behind it, not to mention that now the Tsukahara army is coming to the city, and the person who will hold the pen and the gun in the future will be Tsukahara Molong, and this matter has already been determined.

"This, this ......" The messenger was so frightened that he was sweating profusely, and he couldn't say the second word for a long time, Tsukahara Nobuden immediately pulled out a foot of the knife, looking at the cold light on the knife, the messenger immediately coaxed, "I'll change, I'll change!" ”

"What do you mean to change? Isn't that what it should be? Tsukahara Shin shouted angrily.

"Yes, yes, that's ......how it was" The envoy changed the scene with a handful of snot and tears, and after the change, the document was snatched by Tsukahara Nobuden and dedicated to Tsukahara Molong.

At this time, Tsukahara Molong took over the two documents and announced to the 50,000 soldiers under his command: "From today on, I, Tsukahara Molong, will return to the Ashikaga family and change back to Ashikaga Molong!" I, Ashikaga Molong, took up the position of Major General of the Guards and the Governor of the Kanto region today, captured Odawara, and shared the wealth and wealth! ”

"Hey, hey!"

"Hey, hey!"

"Hey, hey!"

The 50,000 troops cheered in unison, and the sound of the world was heard clearly, and the morale of the Odawara Castle, which was already very low, plummeted again, and the face of the Hojo clan, who was holding a meeting in the castle tower, changed several times, and finally spurted out a mouthful of blood and fainted.

When night fell, Ashikaga Ink finally waited for the person he wanted to meet: Hojo Tsunari! Trapped in a lonely city, morale is low, people's hearts are scattered, and the family governor is in a coma, everyone can see that the Hojo family can't bear it anymore, and they must ask for peace in order to keep their family name, otherwise when the city is broken, I'm afraid the whole clan will be wiped out. But peace needs to have enough weight, but almost all of the Hojo ministers who are qualified for this qualification have been killed in battle, and there is no choice but to invite Hojo Tsunari out again. Originally, Hojo Tsunade privately decided to exchange Musashi Province for the Hojo clan, although there was no problem from a reasonable point of view, but the Hojo clan had lost its authority, and Hojo Tsunade became the maintenance of the Hojo clan, but he still chose to retire and bear the responsibility for the defeat alone. Although this peace quest was too cruel to Hojo Tsunari, the person who single-handedly created the glory of the Hojo family, he had no choice.

Looking at the already very old Hojo Tsunari, Ashikaga Molong couldn't help but sigh, the other party is only thirty-eight years old this year, and he has already had white hair, thinking back to the first time he saw Hojo Tsunari, what a high-spirited general he was, alas, it was really a good thing. Although the culprit who made Hojo Tsusunari become like this is himself, Ashikaga Moryu still has no self-consciousness.

"Tsunari, I know your intentions, and I can also accept the surrender of the Hojo family, but I have a few conditions." Ashikaga Molong said slowly.

"Lord Steward, please speak." Hojo Tsunaru responded that from the moment he came, he already had the consciousness of being a knife and a fish.

"First, the Furukawa Gongfang Hall was killed by the Hojo family, and the governor of the Hojo clan needs to pay for his life."

"No!" Hojo Tsunashi screamed sadly, of course he knew what happened to the death of the Furukawa Gongfang Palace, even the Hojo Army in charge of guarding it was burned to death by the fire, how could it be that the Hojo family killed the Furukawa Gongfang Palace? But he knew that there was no point in arguing about this, "Please, let go of this child, I am willing to pay for his life!" ”

Seeing his past nightmares, now crying and begging in front of the lord, the Kanto generals also have mixed feelings in their hearts, but the awe of the lord Ashikaga Molong is getting stronger and stronger.

Ashikaga Molong shook his head, "Tsunari, you have to understand one thing, if you die, then the Hojo family will be useless to me, and I will kill the entire Hojo clan." Only if you live, I will let others live. "Ashikaga Molong also has no choice, he now has most of the talents in the Kanto region under his command, but those generals who are enough to take charge of each force alone are not enough from the perspective of the entire Kanto. At present, most of the legions he set up are 2,000 people, not that he can't trust his subordinates, but that many famous generals really command 2,000 people, which is the limit of their ability, and of course he can bring 20,000 people, but he can't exert his power at all. Handsome talents like Zhou Dingguo and Sasaki Nagahide, who can command 10,000 people and can command them like their wielves, are also a minority in the Sixty-six Kingdoms, in the final analysis, this is not the Ming Dynasty. A general of the level of Hojo Tsunari is completely capable of meeting the standard of generals, so Ashikaga Molong will use the name of the Hojo clan as a threat to force the other party to surrender. He wasn't worried that the other party would refuse, in the final analysis, the Hojo clan was only one of the many sons of the Hojo clan, and the Hojo family was the only one, and Hojo Tsusunari would make the right choice. Of course, it is logical to transfer the infamy to him.

After experiencing a painful choice, Hojo Tsunari really chose to give up the Hojo clan and choose to protect the Hojo clan.

Ashikaga Molong nodded with satisfaction, "Second, the position of the governor is held by you, at least ten years, before it can be transferred to others." ”

"This ...... I don't have the energy to ...... anymore," Hojo said dejectedly.

"Don't worry, I accept the submission of the Hojo family, just because you are still useful to me, if you are abolished, the Hojo family will also be deprived of all territories."

"You!" Hojo Tsunada's teeth itched with hatred, but he didn't have any hole cards to counter, not even suicide, Ashikaga Molong had already said that if he died, the Hojo clan would also have to die, and finally reluctantly chose to agree.

"Okay, okay, don't be so sad, surrender to me now." Ashikaga Molong sat on the top seat, smiling strangely at the corner of his mouth.

"I've seen it...... The lord ......" Hojo Tsunade sighed and lowered his head helplessly.
