Tame Motochu came out to force the Hojo clan to make political decisions, which made her very embarrassed, but there was really nothing she could do against Tame Motochu.
Because Tame Gentada came from the Mio Roku family, her mother was one of the original Riximei who followed the Ise women to develop in Kanto.
This Sixth Princess was the first retainer of the Ise woman and had a detached status in the family. After the Hojo family became big, the family also enjoyed the unique trust and respect.
Tame Mototada served as an official for the Hojo family during the generation of family governor, and is now the elder of the pentou family.
She is responsible for guarding the Hojo family's bridgehead in Nishi Ueno and the former residence of the Yamauchi Uesugi family, Hirai Castle. Kurobei, who is also in charge of the Hojo elite, is the chief among the members of the group.
The Hojo family's five-color equipment uses flags in five colors to represent five elite military forces, which are given to the generals of the family who are both loyal and brave.
With such a big boss asking questions, Hojo Umasa was instantly cornered, feeling secretly resentful. Just as Tamu Gentada guessed, she did hesitate.
Although she advocated active defense and massed the military force to intimidate the Wu family in the core area of Kantong, so that they did not dare to act rashly. But she didn't expect that there were people who were not afraid of death and dared to jump out and rush into the tower.
Now that things have happened, she is having second thoughts and hesitating.
In order to realize her strategy, the Hojo family mobilized their elites and gathered in Kagotsu Castle.
Including the Mahui tribe directly under the family governor, the elite Goseki Bei, the Yusou tribe under the jurisdiction of various castles, the Edo tribe and other local national tribes, as well as the Kagotsu tribe that was originally stationed in Kagotsu City.
The more than 20,000 troops in Kawagoe Castle were almost the entire mobile force that the Hojo family could mobilize.
If the losses of these troops are too great, the Hojo family will lose their strategic initiative and become completely beaten defenders. They can only defend the city and have no power to fight back.
It is not difficult to guess the careful thinking of the Hojo clan's political foresight. Except for Tamu Gentada who came forward, many important ministers frowned.
They are battle-hardened and not afraid of battle. But fighting is not a child's play, and the way the Hojo clan is at a loss in the face of changes does make them feel a little uncomfortable.
Hojo Ushimasa looked at Ashikaga Yoshiji on the other side. The Kanto general was sitting no lower than her.
Ashikaga Yoshiji chuckled and said.
"Master Duomu is impatient. The enemy should be cautious now. Although the military situation is urgent, we must think it over carefully before making a decision.
The army is dispatched, and the whole body is affected by a single move. The long-tailed rebels are coming menacingly, so our army is right to be more cautious. "
Domu Yuanzhong originally didn't want to embarrass the new governor, he just stepped forward to force him. Now Ashikaga Yoshiji, the Kanto general, came to calm down the situation, and she bowed to express her apology for being rude.
Hojo Umasa breathed a sigh of relief.
Ashikaga Yoshiji is her strongest supporter of this active defense strategy, because it is related to the vital interests of the Kanto general.
The Kamakura Ashikaga family has long since moved from the remote Kamakura Prefecture in Sagami Province to Furukawa Castle in Kamisou Province, where they control the core area of Kanto.
Although Ashikaga Yoshiji, the Kanto general, is not worthy of his name, the current ruler of the Furukawa Territory, Harusuke Hadena, still expresses his ceremonial respect.
The Kada family has been the samurai monk of the Kamakura Ashikaga family for generations and is responsible for all ceremonial matters. Ashikaga Yoshiji's succession ceremony at Tsuruoka Hachimangu Shrine in Kamakura was also presided over by Harusuke Kada.
There was nothing that Hojo Ujiyasu could do against this slippery old fox.
Just fuck her? She has such a good attitude that it's not easy to do anything. Don't you want to kill her? The Furukawa Territory is outside the control of the Hojo family and is a major hidden danger in the core area of Kanto.
Just because the influence of the Kanto shogunate is mainly in the core area of Kanto, Ashikaga Yoshiji does not like the passive defense strategy of the Hojo family, which is equivalent to giving up the core area outside Musashi country.
Politically, it was a slap in the face to Ashikaga Yoshiji. It was very embarrassing for her, a Kanto general who was not recognized by most people in the first place, and he would become even more of a puppet in the future.
Ashikaga Yoshiji and Hojo Genan are both the leaders of the Hojo clan. She supported the Hojo clan's masasa and came with her to prevent the Hojo family from changing course and shrinking its strategy at a critical moment.
Seeing that Hojo Ujimasa was being questioned, of course she had to speak out and cheer her up.
she said.
"Twenty thousand troops gathered in Heyue City, attracting everyone's attention. If we retreat after intimidation fails, all the Kanto families will definitely look down on us.
If one or two more companies follow Nagao's leadership and Sano Masatsuna joins the Nagao rebels, we will be completely passive. "
Domu Yuanzhong couldn't help but nodded.
Although Ashikaga Yoshiji is very selfish, her words really hit the point.
Most of the veterans were disgusted with Hojo Ujimasa's active defense strategy, but the army had already been assembled. If he retreated at this time, it would worsen the situation and cause misjudgments among the Kanto samurai families.
Even if they want to restore the original defensive strategy, they must wait until this battle is over and kill the thorn in the side who took the lead in offending the Hojo family as a warning to others.
At this time, the next person couldn't help but snorted. Everyone looked and saw that it was Hojo Tsunari.
Hojo Tsusunari is living a very miserable life these days. She is the same generation as the third-generation family governor Hojo Ujiyasu. Hojo Ushimasa, the younger generation of family governor, is arbitrary and his petty tactics are really disgusting.
She is the lord of Tamana Castle, a great contributor to the Hojo family in the Battle of Kawagoe, and served as the Dai of Kawagoe Castle after the war.
When Hojo Ujimasa proposed the strategy of massing troops in Kawagoe Castle, she wrote a letter from Kawagoe Castle to Odawara Castle to express her opposition. Only being far away could not prevent this strategy from passing.
She didn't take this matter to heart. On the contrary, Hojo Ushimasa was worried that she would be obstructing the front line. Worried about her lack of energy, she asked Daidaiji Morimasa to take over from her Kawagoe Castle and lead the Kawagoe people.
Hojo Tsunari was extremely angry and felt that the Hojo clan was narrow-minded and could not tolerate dissent. But for two reasons, she still chose to be patient.
First, before Hojo Ushimasa sent out troops, Hojo Uyasu wrote a letter specifically asking her to take care of her daughter, help her fight this battle, and consolidate the foundation of the family governor after succeeding to the throne.
Secondly, Daidoji Noboshi, who succeeded Kawagoe Castle, was one of the six Goyusu families. He was four generations old and had a very high status. If Hojo Tsunari comes forward to cause trouble, it will affect the relationship with Yuu Xuzu.
In order to maintain the stability of the family business and unite his retainers, Hojo Tsunari swallowed this dumb loss and endured this injustice.
Even if she lost the Kagotsu clan, she was still the lord of Yusou City, commanding Huang Bei, one of the Five Colored Bei, and a big shot among the Hojo clan. There was no need to fall out with the new family governor over Kagotsu Castle.
Regarding personal interests, Hojo Tsunari chose to give in and didn't care.
But at this time, seeing that Hojo clan politics did not dare to implement his own ideas, Duomu Motochu was arrogant in front and respectful in back. It was about the overall situation, and she finally couldn't help it.
Hojo Tsusunari groaned and attracted the attention of all the girls. She glanced at Hojo Umasa, and remembering Hojo Ujiyasu's instructions, she still couldn't bear to embarrass her niece directly, so she decided to go around and persuade her.
She turned to Dome Motochu and said.
"The family business is in trouble, so you ladies should speak out and speak out honestly, put your best efforts into planning, and leave it to the family governor to make a decision.
Master Duomu, it's not appropriate to say something halfway and stop talking. "
