Chapter 545: The Wako
"Back to the alliance leader, I got some gossip and want to report to the alliance leader." At this time, a daimyo of a small force came out and said to Oda.
"Hosona-kun, if you have anything to say, say it directly." When Oda saw it, his face was a little better, but this daimyo had almost pressed his net worth.
Of course, this is also one of the countries closest to Omi Province now, and if he doesn't go all out, if he fails this time, it will be the time when his family is ruined.
"This Hojo envoy is pure nonsense. Hojo Daimyo is a famous great swordsman, let me ask a great swordsman any of them to get sick for no reason?
And according to some information I have gotten, the Hojo Daimyo has not been thinking about Toei at all in recent years.
In the past few years, he has secretly bought the Japanese at sea, and even disguised his own soldiers as Japanese criminals.
In the surrounding area of the sea, killing and looting everywhere, so that his harvest is full every time.
According to reliable sources, the Ming Empire next door, in recent days, the new emperor ascended the throne, and Hojo personally crossed the sea to the Ming Dynasty. Hosono Daimyo told Oda everything he knew.
"You are talking nonsense, how can my family's name go to Daming! Now is the period of life and death of Dongying, how could the daimyo go to the Ming Dynasty at this time? When the envoy of the Hojo family heard this, he immediately said in a hurry.
"Because he's already given up on Dongying." Hosina said expressionlessly.
"I see..."
Oda, who was sitting on the main seat, had a very dark face, looked at the Hojo envoy below, and stood up.
"In the past few months, the Ming Dynasty has been sending letters from officials willing to establish permanent diplomatic relations between the two countries.
It's just that we need to intensify our efforts to crack down on the number of Japanese pirates at sea, and although there is more than civil strife in our Dongying at this time, this is also a matter of course.
I also sent troops to fight against the Japanese many times, but the more I fought, the more I fought, and even caused me to lose many soldiers, it turned out that it was all Hojo's ghost..."
Don't think that the Japanese are good for Dongying.
The Japanese and the Dongying government are fundamentally two extreme things, and the Dongying official will send troops to clean up the Japanese every year.
For Dongying, the Japanese are like those grass kings in Shenzhou who led troops to rebel, and when the rebellion failed, they fell into the grass.
It's bandits.
It's just that Shenzhou is big and big, so they are all bandits in the mountains.
And Dongying is small, and the big names are not enough, let alone any small bandits.
Then you can only go to the sea to be bandits, that is, the so-called Japanese bandits.
These would-be robbers are not just robbing a country, they are robbing whatever they see, and even Dongying will rob them the same.
After the Warring States period, the Japanese invaders became even more serious, and those daimyo who failed in the war, if they were not killed or surrendered, and then had a lot of soldiers and horses in their hands, basically ran away to become Japanese invaders.
And now that even official forces like Hojo have stepped in, the power of the Japanese is even more terrifying.
"I didn't expect Hojo Daimyo to be this kind of person, and now I'm in the mood to take care of other places.
Especially at this life-and-death moment, I still think about my own interests.
Alliance leader, you make the decision, what should we do now? ”
After listening to the Hojo family's affairs, of course the daimyo will not let the Hojo fisherman benefit, after this battle, everyone has losses, and his Hojo family is still making money for themselves.
"The specific situation of this matter can't be too sure, so let's send someone to inquire about the news first. If it is indeed as Hosina-kun said, then we should not dissolve the alliance after the victory of the war, and join forces to put pressure on Hojo to make reparations. "After all, Hojo is a powerful daimyo, and he can't be rashly regarded as an enemy, and that place in Kanto is not so easy to fight," Oda said after sitting back in his seat and being silent for a while.
"That's what the Alliance Leader said."
...
"Let's leave Hojo's affairs alone, let's move on to the plan for the war..."
......
......
Yae Sakura stood behind Takeda and listened boredly to the daimyo discussing the plan, and looked thoughtfully at the envoy of the Hojo Daimyo. I remember that at this time, it should be almost the end of the Ming Dynasty, and the Japanese invaders are very frequent, maybe I want to help this country where I was born in my previous life.
About an hour has passed, and the crusade has ended, and the daimyo have roughly decided on the plan of the crusade, and are ready to officially enter the border of Omi Province tomorrow.
After the end, Yae Sakura first said goodbye to Takeda, and then quickly found the Hojo messenger's room based on the mark she had left on the messenger.
When Yae Sakura first arrived, he saw only one pigeon flying right out of his room.
Yae Sakura opened her palm, and the pigeon in the air was directly sucked into Yae Sakura's hand.
"Sure enough, it's a carrier pigeon."
Looking at the contents of the pigeon's leg, Yae Sakura took it off and looked at it.
One line of words on it.
"Everything went well with the plan."
It should have been reported to the Hojo family.
Yae Sakura let the dove go, walked to the messenger's door, quietly pushed open the window, and jumped in.
"Who?"
Suddenly, the Hojo envoy in the room looked at the window nervously.
"I'll ask you to borrow something, I'm sure you won't refuse, right?" Yae Sakura immediately grabbed his neck with one hand, making him unable to speak.
Then he summoned the lantern and threw the messenger to him.
"Sister Heart Lamp, check the memories in his soul."
"Yes."
Qingxing Lantern took it with one hand and then extracted his soul, closed his eyes and began to check his memory, and after a while, Qingxing Lantern opened his eyes and looked at Yae Sakura, "What does Sakura want to know?" ”
"All the things of the Hojo family."
...
The Hojo family was a wealthy family in the Kanto region of Japan's Warring States period, and its main city was Odawara Castle, which is said to be the strongest in the world
At this time, the Hojo Daimyo annexed almost all of the eight provinces of the Kanto region and established an orderly independent kingdom.
At this time, the 66 Warring States ranked in the top three.
If nothing else, this situation would continue until the end of the Warring States period, when Toyotomi Hideyoshi unified the east.
Because of the natural geographical conditions, the Hojo family can basically sleep peacefully.
Under such circumstances, it was very difficult for the Hojo family to continue to expand at this time.
So Hojo took his attention to the sea.
This is actually a coincidence, originally Hojo didn't want to cooperate with the Wako, but by chance, Hojo got some news.
......
The so-called century-old dynasty, thousand-year-old family, in the eyes of the people of the family, they are not loyal to the dynasty, but to the family.
If there is a conflict between the dynasty and the family, they will definitely give priority to the family.
At this time, the Ming Dynasty was approaching the end of the period, the people were miserable, and the emperor didn't care about cultivating and playing with wood every day. The Maison is crazy about making money down there.
