For five whole days, Odawara Castle was still as silent as death, this time it was not only the townspeople who had nothing to do but huddled in the house in a daze, the hearts of the samurai of the Hojo retainers were as silent as a dry well, and the two brothers of the Hojo clan and the Hojo clan made it clear that if Odawara Castle did not surrender again, he would take the two thousand troops of the Jade Rope Hojo clan out of the city to surrender, and the grim form made the Hojo clan Yasu also feel distressed, and at this time, no matter how optimistic the samurai was, I am afraid they would not be able to laugh.

The Hojo clan's bitter persuasion was completely useless, but he was calmly warned by the Hojo clan not to act rashly, as long as he tried to be placed under house arrest, it would cause infighting among the defenders in the city, and maybe it would also cause a big riot in Odawara City, and the prestige and connections that Hojo Tsunashi had accumulated over the years were not false.

Knowing that he thought that his dead father was still alive in the world, the brothers Hojo Shigeru and Hojo Shishu had no intention of defending the city for a long time, and did not hate the Hojo clan for deceiving the loyalty and years of affection as a courtier, and the Hojo clan could not let the two brothers lead troops out of the city to join the Kanto Gongfang family no matter what, and they could not put the two brothers under house arrest to force them to change their minds, after all, not to talk about the brotherhood for many years, they also had to take into account the fact that Odawara Castle could not withstand the civil strife.

Today's Hojo family has long been a panicked army, as long as there is a little flame will ignite a raging fire, can't let Odawara Castle chaos is the consensus of the Hojo family tree, the military is scattered and there is no chance for the Hojo clan to turn the tables, he has to consider how to submit more appropriately.

On this issue, the Hojo family tree generation was stumped, and they had never discussed how it was more appropriate to submit, and the fierce quarrel lasted all day, and finally relied on the abdicated Hojo clan Yasu to stand up and make a final decision: "There is no need to worry about the ceremony now." Don't waste time in Kaesong submissions! ”

The surrender of the Hojo family to Kaejo was the first major event that happened in Kanto since the beginning of the year. Once again, the Kwantung samurai deeply felt the powerful deterrent power of the new princess. Almost single-handedly swept the people of the Kanto region, whether it was the Kanto samurai for hundreds of years or the daimyo who had been dominant in recent decades, they all fell at his feet, and for a time the people of the Kanto Kingdom fell into a state of collective silence.

Hojo Shiyasu's final word also means that Sagami and Izu countries have been successfully pacified, Odawara Castle was opened and handed over to Sanada Yukitaka who came later to be completely controlled, and the blockade of Odawara Castle by the Kamiashikaga family was completely broken, and the townspeople of Odawara Castle spontaneously stood on both sides of the road to cheer and celebrate the hard-won peace at the handover ceremony of Kaejo, Sanada Yukitaka was like a triumphant general who frequently waved to the townspeople, which made the original owner of the Hojo clan who accompanied him into the castle look particularly embarrassed.

Complete the handover ceremony of Odawara Castle. Disbanding the eighty percent defenders of Odawara Castle, more than 100 members of the Hojo clan and hundreds of genealists rushed to Edo Castle under the escort of the Shinano Legion, and when the Hojo clan Yasu stepped into Edo Castle, what appeared in front of him was a strange scene of countless peasants building a new town in full swing in a large construction site.

Almost every merchant who came to Edo Castle would be surprised by this, and no one would have thought that the Kanto Princes would have such a big courage to build a new city as soon as they arrived in Edo, and it seemed that they were not at all worried that the people of Kanto would threaten the safety of Edo Castle, let alone whether the Kanto Castle had any intention of delaying the initial decision.

Five hundred Hojo samurai flying the banner of the three scales. Escorted by 5,000 troops of Murakami's Yoshikiyo Division, they slowly entered Edo Castle, and the genealogies of the Hojo family found that the townspeople along the way were looking at them curiously. It seemed strange that the familiar Sanmori Scale Banner appeared in front of them again, and seeing the formation of 5,000 people escorting 500 people, many townspeople knew that the Edo Gongfang had won again.

The Hojo clan's policy horse marched slowly, and a column of hundreds of carriages behind him walked very slowly, looking left and right, and said, "Is this the newborn Edo Castle...... This is completely different from Edo Castle a year ago! ”

This was not the Edo Castle he was familiar with, the place that he had been familiar with a year ago had long since changed beyond recognition, and the entire plain had been turned into a huge construction site with the faint traces of the town's rough planning being seen everywhere in the mountains of wood and stone materials piled up into the mountains, the wide roads that had been temporarily carved out were frozen and erected, and the occasional few fast horses galloped by, bringing smoke and dust everywhere.

The once familiar Edo Castle disappeared without a trace, and was replaced by a huge city under construction, and the Hojo genealogy generation had never seen such a large-scale general requisition, and they exclaimed, "This is the spirit of His Royal Highness!" Looking at the atmosphere of Edo Castle, it is the ambition of Kanto! ”

"I think that's more than that! Maybe you can't have the world in mind. ”

"That's right! His Royal Highness was promoted to Ashikaga Renzhi as a powerful man, and he must be fake if he doesn't have the world in mind! ”

"His Royal Highness may be able to fulfill a long-cherished wish that generations of His Highness have not fulfilled! If that's the case, aren't we going to be heroes too? ”

"Hey! How can you, bastard, say such things here, not afraid of being caught and cut off your head? ”

"Ah, I'm sorry! I didn't wake up just now, and I was talking nonsense, please forget what you just said! ”

"It's okay to forget about it, but you must show your sincerity tonight! Edo Castle is a big castle and there are definitely good sake houses, and I've heard that Echigo yaki is only available in abundance in the city where His Royal Highness is located, so why don't we have a chance to try it? ”

"That makes sense, I also think that you can experience the joy of being a man by tasting the brewing......

"You little fart kid who doesn't have any hair all the hair, you know what it means to be a man's fun! Men's pleasures should be found in the whale house, I tell you that woman is really ......" A group of samurai huddled together, their voices gradually became eerie and low, and from time to time there was a strange "hehe" sound, and the facial expression was very obscene.

The Hojo clan turned a deaf ear to the laughter in his ears, and the situation he faced as the governor of the family may have been earlier, and the 1,500 troops entrusted by Sanada Yutaka were sent to Jade Rope Castle for resettlement, and counting the more than 500 troops in this team and more than 1,000 relatives, it is the current power that the Hojo family can drive. The contact between the Izu and the Sagami was temporarily cut off. He didn't know how many retainers he would be able to return by then.

Just as he frowned and thought about what to do. In the carriage beside him, a slender hand stretched out to open the curtain, revealing a pretty face with a flowery face and a moon, and whispered to the Hojo clan: "Husband, how long will it take to get to the place!" The concubine's body was bumped by the carriage, and her bones were about to fall apart. ”

The Hojo clan came to the carriage and held the woman's warm little hand, and said softly, "Wait patiently, it will be here soon." ”

This woman is the eldest daughter of Takeda Shingen and Mrs. Sanjo, and is also Takeda Shingen's most beloved daughter, who married the main wife of the Hojo clan, Huangmeiin, and married into the Hojo family as a wife as part of the political alliance. But she was lucky enough to harvest a precious love, probably Huangmeiyuan is a strange woman who is envied by countless martial arts women in the world.

Loving his wife may be the characteristic of the Hojo family, Hojo clan Kang loves his wife Ruixiin very much, even if the Hanakura Rebellion caused a chaos in the east of the river so that the Hojo family is facing a huge crisis and does not change, as a sister-in-law, the Hojo clan inherited his father's fine tradition and carried it forward, and loved his wife Huangmeiin that to death or life.

What's more interesting is that the eldest son of the Hojo clan Kang, Shinkuro, died young, and the second son, the Hojo clan, inherited the position of the family governor, and the Hojo clan, who was a son, also had an eldest son, Shinkuro, who died young, and his wife was more than eight months pregnant in the womb was his second son, and the future Hojo family was the Hojo clan. This is really the same appearance of father and son.

If you want to say how deep the Hojo clan's political love for Huangmeiin is, you just need to know that when his father-in-law Takeda Shingen tore up the covenant and attacked his close relatives, the Imagawa clan. Adhering to the heart of resolutely defending the love of Huangmeiyuan, he did not hesitate to redress his most feared father Hojo Shiyasu, or his mother Ruixiin took pity on the pregnant Huangmeiyuan, and asked Hojo Shiyasu to take a break from the thunderous anger and let the child be born before escaping.

Huangmeiyuan is in a relaxed mood now, and the surrender of the Hojo family means that she no longer has to worry about her father-in-law Hojo Shikang forcing him to leave, it is said that His Royal Highness the Kanto Princesses is a generous man with great feelings, and he must not let go of the suffering of her and her husband being forced to part, she doesn't understand the reason for her father's betrayal of the alliance and doesn't want to ask about those complicated things, she just wants to give birth to children for her husband and raise the descendants of the Hojo family, probably women in the Warring States period have similar ideas.

Seeing that his unfortunate son did not forget to visit me and me with the daughter of the Takeda family on the way to the journey, the Hojo clan snorted coldly and turned his head away and continued to look at Edo Castle, sighing: "Back then, my family also chose Edo Castle as the new residence city, but it's a pity that the astronomical rebellion that affected the Kanto region consumed too much time and energy of my Hojo family. ”

Ruixi Yuan knew her husband's thoughts, and picked up the curtain and said softly: "Is Your Highness still thinking about that old grudge?" ”

"The old grudges have long been forgotten......," said Hojo Shiyasu with a long breath, "Don't think about things that shouldn't be remembered, thinking too much is just adding to your troubles." ”

After entering the city circle of Edo Castle for a long time, this group of hundreds of people slowly entered Edo Castle, and the military camp stationed outside the city vigilantly blocked the way of the comers, and only after Murakami Yoshikiyoshi rode over to hand over the pass order did some of the samurai of the Hojo family be allowed to enter Edo Castle, and the others were arranged to rest in temporary camps on the spot.

The man had to bow his head under the eaves, and the Hojo clan could not refuse this request, but asked the guards to allow a carriage to enter for the sake of his mother and pregnant wife, and the samurai searched around the carriage carefully and reasoned to tell the Hojo clan that the female dependents could enter Edo Castle by car.

The Hojo clan entered Edo Castle with a team of more than 100 people, and at this time Edo Castle did not have any resemblance to the small city of the past, and the huge open space that had been carved out was temporarily blocked by a wall, and the stone wall placed on the outermost part was being built intensively, and the scale of this castle was definitely more than that of Odawara Castle from the fineness of the stone wall alone.

The interior of Edo Castle is so large that you won't get bored on the way, and after a short walk, you can see nearly a thousand craftsmen shouting trumpets trying to pull up a beam that is tens of meters high, and many towering trees are piled up next to the pillars, which are the best wood from Minami Shinano and Hayo, and each tree takes thousands of years to grow into a towering tree.

Hojo clan Masato guessed that the pillar should be the new residence of the Ashikaga family, and seeing that the pillar erected was to build the main beam of the castle tower with several floors, he looked at it for a while and said secretly: "Such a tall beam...... I'm afraid I'm going to build a five-story castle tower! What a powerful Highness! (To be continued......)
