Military divisions are a very special profession, they are not only talented and intelligent, but also often proficient in the art of war and intrigue, but also have the vision and foresight, can be a think tank in peacetime, and can be a staff officer in wartime. In ancient China, there were many top military divisions, such as Yao Guangxiao, Zhang Liang, Liu Bowen, and Zhuge Liang; and in Japan, they also found the magic of military divisions in the Warring States period, so many daimyo began to vigorously recruit military divisions, and here is to take stock of the six most outstanding military divisions in Japan's Warring States period, to see who they are.
top, 6 Kansuke Yamamoto
In his early years, Yamamoto Kansuke spent his years wandering in various places to learn swordsmanship and military studies, and later served Takeda Shingen, although he was one-eyed and lame, but resourceful, and was a leading figure in the tactical strategy of the Takeda Army; his battle of fame was when Takeda Shingen attacked Shinano Province, because of the timely adjustment of tactics in the Battle of Stone Castle to make the Takeda army defeated and victorious; later, in the Fourth Battle of Kawanakajima, he proposed the "Woodpecker Tactics", unfortunately failed, and died in a guilty battle. In addition to his tactical and strategic skills, he was also a well-known architect.
top, 5 Katakura Jinggang
Katakura Keisuke was naturally intelligent, so he was recommended to become Date Masamune's attendant, and the relationship between the two was very good; Date Masamune succeeded him as the governor of the house at the age of eighteen, and when Date Masamune ambitiously began to carry out strategic expansion in the surrounding areas, Katakura Keisuke gave the greatest help, and it was because of his advice that Date Masamune won many battles, including many defeats. In addition, his strategic vision is also very unique, because Date Masamune has his advice and help behind toyotomi Hideyoshi and Tokugawa Ieyasu.
top, 4 Usami Dingman
Usami Tsuneyoshi initially served the Kamijō clan, who guarded the Uesugi clan' Ichimon, and then after the family's defeat to Nagao Nakei, he defected to the Nagao clan; after Nagao's death, the Nagao clan was in civil unrest, and Usami Tsuneyoshi immediately fell in love with Nagao Keisho (Uesugi Kenshin), helping Uesugi Kenshin defeat his opponent Nagao Masayoshi; he was also deeply respected by Uesugi Kenshin because he successively assisted Uesugi Kenshin as the governor of the Nagao family and the governor of the Kanto clan; not only was he a military master of Uesugi Kenshin, but also the originator of Echigo's military technique, but he was later drowned.
top, 3 Ben more than true faith
Honda Masanobu was only a samurai by hawksmith background in his early days, with a low status, and became a subordinate of Tokugawa Ieyasu after the honnōji Rebellion; after Tokugawa Ieyasu was transferred to Edo, Honda Masanobu and Aoyama Tadanari served as the Kanto region, exerting his internal political talents, and gradually gained the trust of Tokugawa Ieyasu, after the death of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Honda Masanobu became an important general of Tokugawa Ieyasu, Tokugawa Ieyasu had many things to rely on; later generations described him as "Tokugawa's wisdom bag".
Top, 2 Takenaka Shigeru
According to Japanese historical records, Takenaka Shigeharu had been reading military books since childhood and had a handsome appearance; after succeeding the governor at the age of nineteen, in order to persuade the faint Mino lord Saito Ryuko, he outwitted Saito Honjo Inabayama with a mere seventeen people, and then returned the castle to Saito Ryuko in its original condition, which shocked Japan in one fell swoop; after becoming Oda Nobunaga's vassal, he personally led the iron artillery team to break the combined forces of Asai and Asakura twice in the Battle of Kanazawa and the Battle of Asakura; after Oda Nobunaga's death, he sent out Toyotomi Hideyoshi. In a series of battles against the most powerful name in the western kingdom, Maori Huiyuan, Lianke counted the castles, but died of tuberculosis. Later generations referred to him and Kuroda Rumizu as the "Toyotomi Two Guards".
top, 1 Kuroda is like water
Although his descendants ranked him alongside Takenaka Shigeharu, Kuroda Rushui also had a name, that is, "the first army division under the heavens", which shows that Takenaka Shigeharu is still slightly inferior. This Kuroda's wisdom and strategy, it is really "conspiracy and trickery hidden in the dandruff"; he has fought countless battles in his life, the famous Battle of Yinghepu, the flooded Nakatakamatsu Castle, the Great Turnaround of China, the Shikoku Expedition, the Kyushu Expedition, the Odawara Cage City Battle, the Northern Kyushu Hegemony, etc. are his masterpieces; and he also has ambitions, planning the layout of "three parts of the world", but unfortunately it was destroyed by his own son Kuroda Nagamasa...
But to tell the truth, the real military divisions of japan's Warring States period can still be on the stage, no way, Japan is after all a small country and a widow, and because books and so on are mastered by the high level, it is difficult to produce a few people with great wisdom. But even if Shigeharu Takenaka and Kuroda Rushui are OK, if they are put in the list of Chinese military divisions, there is still no problem in entering the top one hundred, but if you want to enter the top ten, it is absolutely impossible, and the gap is extremely large.
