60. It is the battle and the decision

Looking at Oshishi's eyes, he wrote down the document that he asked Odawara Castle to send envoys to discuss, and chose one of the captured warriors who he trusted and gave a horse back to Odawara.

There are so many famous samurai from the Hojo family, but in fact everyone's minds are all cut with one knife, and then immediately pounced on the Hojo family and bit his flesh and blood. However, if this is the condition, it is not impossible to conduct peace talks.

The Oishi clan and more than 30 Hojo clan samurai generals were temporarily imprisoned at the Hode Temple (this was later named Hongde Temple at this moment). They disarmed all their troops and sent five hundred groups to surround the temple and take care of them. The samurai who lost the army was just ordinary people after all, and their discouraged attitude was revealed.

It is said that this Haode Temple may have no reputation in history, but he buried the future Tokugawa shogunate leader Ii Naohito, and became the Bodhi Temple of the Ome Hikone Fanyi Ishi in the Shogunate genealogy.

There is also a very strange story here. It is said that one day Ii Naotaki who came to Edo to visit the general was tired of walking. He happened to see a big tree growing lushly by the roadside, so he stopped to rest under the shade of the tree.

Not long after, the sky became dark. This was normal in Japan, and there were showers floating from time to time. Naota Ii also lamented that he was so lucky that he found such a big tree to hide from the rain.

While sitting under the tree and being bored, a big round white cat passed by him. Naota Ii is not a cat lover, but he was also attracted by such a snow-white cat and followed him.

The cat was walking and stopping as if guiding Naota Ii, and took Naota Ii to the eaves of a small temple. Naota Ii, who was about to suck a cat, was suddenly frightened by a terrifying thunder.

A divine thunder fell from the nine heavens, and suddenly split the big tree that Ii Naotaki had just rested into a scorched wood. If Ii Naotaki was still under the tree, he would definitely die.

It was the white cat who saved my life!

Looking back, there are no white cats in the four places! Naota Ii was surprised and thought that this small temple was protected by "Zhaofu White Cat". So he gave a lot of money to the temple and ordered Ii to provide support to this Haode Temple on behalf of others in the future.

And Haode Temple became the origin of Japan's lucky cat!

It is said that the Zhaofu Cat in Haode Temple is still very effective. Those who come to seek Zhaofu Cat will send Zhaofu Cat back to the temple for offerings after the wish is fulfilled, with more than 10,000 pieces.

I just don’t know if Oshishi’s Sword can get the protection of the lucky white cat like Naota Ii and turn bad luck into good luck.

The Hojo Samurai who was sent to deliver the message passed by Xiaoji Castle and collided with the Hojo clan's 20,000 troops head-on. Then he wiped out the entire army of Oishi clan and brought the clear news that Musashi had almost lost the entire territory to the Hojo clan and Naoki and others.

Nao Hojo is still young. After the Oishi clan lost his news, what the Hojo clan could actually speak was the Fujita clan with a huge crowd, the Imakawa clan rule of 6,000, and the Toshiyao clan for 4,000. These three brothers were unable to argue with each other.

The Hojo retainers were also arguing endlessly. The Odawara evaluation conference, which was able to unite the retainers, became a dispute!

The steady clan of Oishi clan was gone, and the radical clan of Fujita clan took the initiative, while Imakawa clan voluntarily gave up many of Suruga's defenses in order to come back to protect Odawara. As a result, Fujita clan said that he would gather the entire army to take the initiative to attack the coalition forces, while Imakawa clan ruan and Toshiyao advocated defending Odawara to the death. As long as the coalition forces retreated, Musashi could be restored.

After arguing for three or four days, the Hojo family finally stood directly on the side of the Fujita clan. The 20,000 troops came out in full swing, trying to save the defeat and block the enemy from outside the country.

So when they received news that the Oishi clan's entire army was destroyed, Xiaoheita also received news that the Hojo Kan's army came to Koji Castle.

After a little discussion, Yamauchi Jun gave up Koji Castle and ordered the troops to shrink as the kindness he released before the peace talks. He prepared to gather 50,000 people and have a good talk with the 20,000 people of Hojo Army.

The Hojo family still has two countries, and the Suruga counties are still resisting. It is indeed still a great name in the world. Even if the coalition forces led by the Yamauchi family have the upper hand, they are still unlucky.

After confirming that more than 30 backbone samurai, including Oshishizawa, were unharmed, the Hojo family transported 300 stones of rice. It was used as the food for the captured 3,000 elite Hojo soldiers, and also expressed sincerity to be willing to negotiate.

The Hojo family had not known the situation of Musashi before. Now that they fully understood it, they saw that Edo Castle was burning clean, and the main combat radicals, including the Fujita clan, were temporarily conservative.

Their condition was to admit failure, and the existing territory occupied by the coalition forces was disposed of by the coalition forces. The Musashi Guardian Uesugi family and the Musashi Guardian Oda family were both recognized by the Hojo family. The Hojo family gave up supporting the former Fukukawa Gongka Ashikaga Yoshiki and recognized the status of Kokukura Lai Chun as the general of Kanto.

The territory of Musashi Kingdom, except for Kurora and Konoki, who were close to Sagami Kingdom, all the other Hojo families gave up. They also paid 5,000 konnaga Nagata or 5,000 taels of gold for the captured Hojo.

With this condition, Hojo has nothing to pay except five thousand taels!

The Yamauchi family naturally refused. Anyway, the Imakawa family rules and Izu's territory, so the Yamauchi family requested that Suruga be completely spit out and nothing could be left. Let the Suruga guardianship of Yoshiki Imakawa completely confirm the position of Yoshiki Imakawa, and can threaten the Hojo family's old nest Izu Sagami Kingdom at any time.

In addition, the Uraga place in Miura-gun, Sagami-Korean, which is famous in later generations, must be ceased, but not to Yamauchi or any other.

Izu is the foundation of the Hojo clan. Now that he still has strength, he is afraid he will not agree to cede him. However, Uragura Port on the Miura Peninsula is just a base of the Sagami Naval Army, far from Odawara, so it is possible to talk about it.

Uraga opened the port and became a free port. The Yamauchi clan and the Rimi clan were stationed in Uraga respectively. The Yamauchi clan and the Rimi clan were allowed to dock and station here at will.

The Nanman ships were also allowed to trade here, expanding the radiation network of the Nanman trade from Sagami Izu to the entire Kanto hinterland. In the form of trade, the Yamauchi family's royal merchants were pioneered and the Yamauchi family was led by the Yamauchi family, and gradually guiding and commanding the Kanto Daimai family, at least economically carrying out united front work against the Kanto forces.

More importantly, Shimoda in Izu has opened a port, and Shimoda and Uraga happen to be Higashida and Weihai. With Sagami Bay double-sealed, Odawara Castle will be open.

The Yamauchi family will not eat directly in Kanto, or at this time, they will not eat directly in Kanto. This will not stimulate Kenshin Uesugi who has fundamental interests in Kanto, but will also receive the kindness of the Kanto forces.

The last point is naturally that the Hojo clan and all parties to the coalition forces have entered into a two-year armistice agreement. Everyone will go home and prepare for the battle. If they are not convinced in two years, they will be able to touch each other.

war?

Peace?
Chapter completed!
