The Arrogant Hojo Clan
Chapter 436 The Arrogant Hojo Clan
In fact, the battle between the Kantohojo clan and the Hitachi clan has been fighting since Yuangui 2 (1571). At that time, the Hojo clan had already controlled Izu, Sagami, Musashi, Ueno, and Ueno, and their power was close to 150 million shi super famous.
And our Satake clan itself is not unified even in Hitachi, just completed the crusade against the Oda clan, facing the Hojo clan leading the attack, united with Ashina, Shirakawa, Yuki and other daimyo's attacks, Satake Yoshishige skillfully repelled the Hojo clan .
And in the 3rd year of Yuangui (1572), the Shirakawa family and the Yuki family were placed under the command.
Around that time, he also made peace with the Iwaki clan and Nasu clan in the north, taking advantage of his kinship.
In the 2nd year of Tensho (1573), he fought again with Oda Ujiji who had switched to Hojo, annexed most of his territory again, and actively expanded his power.In the third year of Tianzheng (3), Baihe City was captured, and the Baihe family who surrendered and rebelled was completely surrendered.
However, the rapid expansion of power made the surrounding big names feel a sense of crisis. Hojo Clan Masaru and Ashina Mori Clan were united again, which made the Satake Clan fall into the dilemma of fighting on two fronts.
In order to open this up, Yoshishige Satake took the initiative to cede the land and form an alliance with the Yuki clan and the Utsunomiya clan with the marriage relationship as the axis to fight against the Hojo clan.
In the 8th year of Tensho (1580), with the death of Ashina Mori, Ashina Moritaka succeeded to the throne, and Ashina's policy also changed.
In the 9th year of Tensho (1581), Yoshishige Satake helped the Ashina clan defeat Kiyoaki Tamura, who was hostile to the Ashina clan, in the Battle of Miyoda. Yoshishige visited Kurokawa Castle in October of the same year, and the Satake clan and the Ashina clan entered into an alliance. .
With Ashina, the strong domain of the Northeast, as his ally, Yoshishige Satake's rear was finally stabilized, and he began to let go and fight Hojo in Satake and Shimono.
In the 11th year of Zhengzheng (1583), the Hojo clan, who succeeded the family governor, planned to take down the Yehao clan Liwei, and successively conquered many fortresses in Shimono. With a counterattack, the Hojo family who was beaten fled in embarrassment, and Satake Yoshishige chased into Nishi Ueno with handsome soldiers.
With this battle, Satake Yoshishige became famous in the Kanto and Northeast. With only 20 shi of knowledge and action, and an army of less than 1, he defeated the super daimyo who sent 150 troops with 3 million shi.
The famous people around him spoke highly of Giju as "the unification of Oshu", and Yoshijuge himself became so conceited.
In the tenth year of Zhengzheng (1584), Hojo Ujizhi once again attacked Shimono and besieged Utsunomiya Castle. At that time, the war had already entered the outer city.
Yoshishige Satake led 1 troops from Shimono and Hitachi to help, dragging the superior Hojo clan into a confrontation, and finally negotiated a peace after three months.
For Satake Yoshishige, as long as he is undefeated against a super daimyo like Hojo, he is a victory.
The Hojo family has always had a fine tradition, that is, the former governor will give up the position of the governor to the successor he chooses when he is in his prime, and he will become the superior to assist the governor in charge of state affairs behind the scenes.
Starting from Hojo Ujizuna, this political ecology has played a very good role in inheritance, and the new governor has gradually grown under the wings of the old governor.
It seems to be very similar to Otomo Zonglin's resignation to Otomo Yoshitomo, but the main voice of the Hojo family's governance is still in the hands of the old governor, and there will be no conflicts between the dual politics of the Otomo family.
Of course, the Hojo clan's new governor will not be completely powerless, and every battle is an opportunity for him to accumulate prestige and prepare to take over the power from his father.
But for the Hojo clan, since he succeeded as the governor of the family, he suffered a defeat in two wars and a draw, which severely hit his prestige among the Hojo clan.
So he finally succumbed, and after Shimono Mibu Yoshio rebelled against Utsunomiya the following year, he contacted the Date family for help in his name, and finally formed an alliance with the Date family.
At that time, the Date family was also greedy for the territory of Ashina Aizu, and they hit it off with the Hojo family. Date Masamune assembled an army of 4 in March of the same year to attack Aizu.
The Hojo Clan used all its soldiers from Izu, Sagami, Musashi, Kamso, Shimoso, and Ueno, and the total number of Huihe Anbozai and Shimono's allied forces was 8. .
As a result, the 8 men of Ujizhi Hojo and the 1 men of Yoshishige Satake confronted each other in Daejeon until July. They had to withdraw because of the impact on the farming season.
In the next few years, the Hojo clan and Satake fought many times in Shimono and Hitachi, but the scale of the war was not large, and all of them ended in the defeat of the Hojo clan.
Due to the containment of the Hojo clan, the Satake family spent a lot of energy in Shimono and Hitachi, so that their allies in the Mutsu area such as the Hatakeyama clan, the Nikaido clan, and the Ashina clan were successively defeated by the Date clan.
From a historical point of view, the Satake family undoubtedly got a hell-level script. Neither Hojo in the south nor Date in the north are easy to mess with.
But in the two generations of Satake Yoshishige and Yoshinobu, the Satake clan, which only owned half of Hitachi, relied on marriages and covenants to hook up many wealthy families in the southern Mutsu and northern Kanto, and they were able to fight back and forth with the two big bosses. The undefeated record at the Hojo clan is completely based on the protagonist's script.
Judging from the historical results, with the abilities of Yoshishige Satake and Yoshinobu Satake and his sons, without Date Masamune's restraint, it is very likely that Hitachi will reverse the Hojo clan and become the new overlord of the Kanto region, which is the worst. Before Hideyoshi arrives, he can be evenly divided with Hojo.
However, whether it was Tomita Kazuhaku, Tokugawa Ieyasu, or Hideyoshi in Kyoto, it was clear that Satake was already exhausted in the face of the double attack from Hojo and Date.
After the demise of the Ash family in the second half of last year, the Shirakawa family, the Ishikawa family and other major names in southern Mutsu returned to the Date family.
As a result, the Satake clan was caught between the two major forces from the south to the Hojo clan and from the north to Date Masamune, and was in danger of extinction.
Due to two years of fighting on two fronts, the Satake family had no spare energy to launch a counterattack against the Hojo clan, and they couldn't even afford the capital to support the Nikaido clan this year.
Faced with unprecedented pressure, Satake Yoshishige gave up his son Satake Yoshinobu as the governor of the family not long ago, and he is living in seclusion in name. He wrote to Hideyoshi about this matter.
Now the Hojo clan actually took the Satake family's invasion of his Shimono territory as an excuse to refuse Shangluo. This is obviously playing Hideyoshi for a fool.
At the same time that Hideyoshi wrote a letter to the Satake family who frequently asked for help, he also wrote a strong statement and handed it over to Hojo's father and son together with Ishida Mitsunari, ordering them to immediately end the war with Satake and go to Luo to explain to himself Ins and outs, to make their own decisions.
However, this written statement was brought back intact by Ishida Mitsunari two months later.
Yes, Hojo's father and son refused to meet Ishida Mitsunari on the grounds of their health. Ishida Mitsunari could only go to Hitachi to meet Satake Yoshinori first, and then was released by Hojo once again after returning.
Hideyoshi was very angry by the Hojo family's successive assistants who slapped Hideyoshi's face. In particular, Hideyoshi specially invited Maeda Toshiie and Mori Terumoto to watch the ceremony. As a result, Hojo's operation directly made Hideyoshi himself in two Lost face in front of the foreign daimyo.
This is absolutely intolerable for Hideyoshi who values his own face more than anything else.
However, Hideyoshi's strategic goals have always been prepared with the Ming Dynasty as the target, including the rectification of Qiezhidan in the Kyushu area.
Hideyoshi did not intend to compromise with Kyushu Kiritan before the Hojo Clan came out with so many moths. Even if Kobayakawa Takakage and other Kyushu daimyos felt the pressure, he was ready to mobilize the armies of Xiguo, Shikoku, and Kinki to conquer Kyushu twice, so that Kyushu The ants know what power is in the world.
But Hojo took the initiative to provoke Hideyoshi's sensitive nerves, which made it impossible for Hideyoshi to fight Hojo.
In order not to fight on two fronts, he had no choice but to order a revision of the "Bantianlian Chasing and Release Order" to release his goodwill towards the Chechidan believers in order to ease the situation in the Kyushu region.
At the same time, Hideyoshi issued metaphorical orders to the world's daimyos, from Qingjin Weixin in the northeast to Shang Chaoxiao in Okinawa, referring to the Hojo family as the enemy of the dynasty, and asked the world's daimyos to jointly launch a crusade against them.
Yes, Okinawa's Shang Chao Xiaojie has successfully succeeded to the Ryukyu king and surrendered to Hideyoshi. As a result, even this subordinate foreign master received Hideyoshi's order to mobilize no less than 500 troops to participate in the Hojo crusade.
To be honest, this amount of military power was completely used by Hideyoshi to make up for it, and it didn't play any role at all. The reason why Hideyoshi included Ryukyu was just to reflect the authority of his extensive rule.
Kamei Tomoki also sent another shipment of potatoes not long ago, including those shoveled from the gardens of local nobles in Ryukyu and purchased from Spanish merchants. They packed more than a dozen boxes and sent them back to Okayama.
After the Hide family left a box of potatoes for breeding, the Seto family is taking all the rest back to Ezo to promote planting in Ezo. Of course, the Hide family gave him the method and essentials of planting potatoes , and wrote a "product brochure" for him to bring back.
Hideka is very interested in the sowing of potatoes, and absolutely does not allow any mistakes. More than ten boxes of potatoes are all Hideka's possessions. If Hideka is not inseparable from Okayama, he even wants to go to Ezo to plant the last season. come back again.
When Hideyoshi's order to subjugate the Hojo family was issued to Hideyoshi, Hideo was hunting falcons outside Okayama City. These falcons were all brought back from the Ezo area by the Seto family this time, and two of them were particularly majestic. Ferocious, with snow-white hair embellished with black ink patterns, it is exactly the Hai Dongqing in the literature of later generations.
After the severed finger, it was quite difficult for Hideo to pick up a samurai sword, and he fell in love with archery even more, and thus fell in love with hunting. The Seto family is presenting these falcons at the right time.
"My lord! My lord!" But that day, Xiu's family was hunting eagles with their horses, when they heard a voice calling from behind.
Xiujia turned his head to look, and it was Kagawa Jingze who was left in Okayama City by him. It is impossible for him not to know that Xiujia went falconry today, so it must be something important to come all the way to find him.
Xiujia reined in the horse rope and waited for him to ride over, and asked him, "What happened?"
"My lord." Xiang Chuanjing took a breath, calmed down and said to Xiu's family, "The envoy from Kyoto is in Okayama City, and they said they brought orders from His Highness Guanbai, and they are extremely urgent to let His Highness go back."
"Kyoto? Which adult is here? Does it represent Da Na Yan or Guan Bai?"
Xiujia didn't know what the so-called envoy from Kyoto was. After all, Hideyoshi and Xiuchang hadn't taken the initiative to find him since the last time Xiujia left in a petty temper. After all, Xiujia's eldest son just died of illness. find yourself.
This was the first time in the past six months that Hidecho and Hideyoshi took the initiative to find themselves, and listening to Kagawa Keinori's tone seemed very urgent, Hideya naturally threw a series of questions to him.
Faced with Hideka's inquiry, Kagawa Kei replied, "It's Masaru Katagiri, who is here to deliver orders on behalf of His Highness Kanbai."
Hearing that the order was delivered on behalf of Hideyoshi, Xiujia's little heart trembled. After all, Hideyoshi has done many bad things without telling Hideyoshi all these years.
Now when I heard about Hideyoshi's arrival, my first reaction was that the Ryukyu matter was leaked, or the Ezo matter was brought up.At this moment, Xiujia, who was no longer in the mood for falconry, called everyone to pack up and return to Okayama.
Returning to Hide's house in Okayama with a heart full of uneasiness, Kagawa Keizo guided him all the way to the evaluation room.
It wasn't until this incident that Hideka realized that the matter was really serious. Osafune Sadakin actually called Ukita Kane, Fujido Takatora, and Oka Toshikatsu who were staying in Okayama at the moment, and they were even in charge of spring plowing in the collar. The flower house in Chengdu is being recalled.
As soon as Xiujia turned his head, he saw Katagiri Katagiri frowned and asked him very seriously, "Is Masaru Toshishi coming to Okayama this time to convey His Highness Guanbai's order?"
The relationship between Katagiri Kazumoto and Hideyoshi's family is very good. Usually, even if he came to pass orders on behalf of Hideyoshi, he would have an amiable expression, but this time he looked very dignified.
In the meantime, he took out a letter from his arms, unfolded it, and read to Hideo, "I order Toyotomi Right Guard General Hideo to go to Luo, arrive in Kyoto before the end of May, and discuss matters concerning the crusade against Hojo. .”
People have always said that the less they talk, the bigger the problem. The core idea of the order that Katagiri Kemoto just read is very short, which is to let Hideka go to Luo to discuss the war against Hojo.
But such a summons usually only needs to send someone to deliver a message, and there is no need for an important minister like Katagiri Kamoto to come in person, and he also brings a letter with Hideyoshi's pressed flower, which seems to be very important.
Of course, at this moment, Hideo had no idea about this problem in the process, and his thoughts were completely attracted by the second half of the letter. He asked Katagiri Kamoto in surprise, "What? Crusade on Hojo? Didn't the Hojo family just surrendered to Father?"
Facing Hideka's inquiry, Katagiri Kazumoto smiled awkwardly, "Your Highness should have heard about this period of time."
Hideo shook his head, expressing that he didn't know what Katagiri Katomoto was talking about.
It wasn't that Hideo deliberately expressed that he didn't understand, it was entirely because in his perception that Hideyoshi had already backed down so much and Hojo had accepted the conditions, so naturally he wouldn't take the initiative to pay attention to Hojo, and was concentrating on preparing for the imperial conquest.
Apart from doing intelligence work in Ming Dynasty and North Korea, she usually went falconry with her attendants, or made humans at home with her female relatives. By the way, in this month, the Xiu family finally helped Juji complete the coming-of-age ceremony.
Xiaoju is obviously only 14 years old, but she really can't afford it anymore. It has been a year and a half since she joined the Yuxi family, and the concubines of the Xiu family have been pregnant one after another, but Xiaoju has not seen anything. Not long ago, even Juji's stepmother Zhi Yunyuan came to Okayama to ask why.
Looking at Hideka as if she really didn't know what happened, Katagiri Katomoto and Osafune Sadaaki helped Hideka sort out the information during this period.
After hearing that the Hojo family refuted Hideyoshi's great face, he was surprised and speechless.
In his perception, Hideyoshi would rarely offer such generous terms. After all, this person has always been a character who takes advantage of other people's illnesses and kills them. Before he has an absolute advantage, he doesn't even give his opponent a second chance to make an offer. .
This time Hideyoshi's unprecedented concession even the Hide family found it unacceptable, but the Hojo family in the Kanto region even made a fool of Hideyoshi.
After Sanada Nobuyuki accepted Hideyoshi's conditions and gave up the entire Tone County, Hideka even accepted the early ending of the conquest due to the lack of a famous Walnut City, but he did not expect that the wheel of history was turned back again.
This just shows how desperate the Hojo clan is from another point, even the butterfly effect can't save them.

Apart from doing intelligence work in Ming Dynasty and North Korea, she usually went falconry with her attendants, or made humans at home with her female relatives. By the way, in this month, the Xiu family finally helped Juji complete the coming-of-age ceremony.
Xiaoju is obviously only 14 years old, but she really can't afford it anymore. It has been a year and a half since she joined the Yuxi family, and the concubines of the Xiu family have been pregnant one after another, but Xiaoju has not seen anything. Not long ago, even Juji's stepmother Zhi Yunyuan came to Okayama to ask why.
Looking at Hideka as if she really didn't know what happened, Katagiri Katomoto and Osafune Sadaaki helped Hideka sort out the information during this period.
After hearing that the Hojo family refuted Hideyoshi's great face, he was surprised and speechless.
In his perception, Hideyoshi would rarely offer such generous terms. After all, this person has always been a character who takes advantage of other people's illnesses and kills them. Before he has an absolute advantage, he doesn't even give his opponent a second chance to make an offer. .
This time Hideyoshi's unprecedented concession even the Hide family found it unacceptable, but the Hojo family in the Kanto region even made a fool of Hideyoshi.
After Sanada Nobuyuki accepted Hideyoshi's conditions and gave up the entire Tone County, Hideka even accepted the early ending of the conquest due to the lack of a famous Walnut City, but he did not expect that the wheel of history was turned back again.
This just shows how desperate the Hojo clan is from another point, even the butterfly effect can't save them.
