Friends who like the history of the Japanese Sengoku period must have heard of this battle, and those who study Japanese history must have some knowledge of this battle. It can be said that this battle determined the overall direction of the island nation in that era.
Time: 1600.
In a broad sense, the Battle of Sekigahara can actually be understood as a series of village fights after the death of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, that is, it is basically impossible for the haojie characters of the japanese sengoku in the former and middle periods to appear in this article.
For example, hideyoshi's death is likely to cause turmoil, so Hideyoshi will not appear here; the death of the Maeda Toshiya family is the last straw that caused this dispute, so the Toshi family will not appear here. Then, Oda Nobunaga, Mitsuhide Wise, and Katsuya Shibata are even less likely, so let's make this clear, and what I want to say today happened around 1600 AD.
Sekigahara Combined Forces Chart
Warring sides: Tokugawa Ieyasu (Eastern Army, yellow in picture), Ishida Misumi (blue in picture)
Causes: First of all, after Oda Nobunaga, the new generation of Japanese rulers Toyotomi Hideyoshi passed away, leaving Osaka Castle to his son Hideyoshi, Hideyoshi himself was not born a traditional nobleman, relying on his own strong strength and survival methods to leave an indelible mark on the Warring States, but also made himself the hegemon of the world after Nobunaga, other daimyo forces did not dare to have too many times. The Mandate of Heaven was so, and he died in 1598, leaving behind a sentence that "descends like a dew, dissipates like a dew, and this is my birth." Osaka's past is like a dream in a dream. ”
At that time, Toyotomi Hideyoshi also saw the possible crisis after his death, and established the position of the five elders, hoping that after his death, the five elders would assist his young son Toyotomi Hideyoshi. The fundamental purpose was to curb the rise of Tokugawa Ieyasu and ensure that the Toyotomi regime could be passed on from generation to generation. It can be simply understood as the dorgon paragraph.
Who are the five elders? Tokugawa Ieyasu, Maeda Toshiya, Ukita Hideya, Mori Keigen Mori, Takaaki Kohayakawa. Later, in 1597, Kohayakawa died first, and then made up for the position of Uesugi Keikatsu.
Five old
Before the death of the Tian Li family in 1599, the last big man who could resist Ieyasu fell, and Ieyasu naturally could not sit still and looked for various reasons to fight. First of all, Maeda Toshinaga, who replaced the Toshi family as one of the "Five Elders", under the persuasion of Ieyasu, left his post in August of that year and returned to the territorial kaga. As soon as the front foot left, Ieyasu shouted to catch the thief and said that if Li Chang wanted to assassinate him, he would send someone to fight, and the young and vigorous Li Chang was furious when he heard the report, and immediately prepared his troops for battle, vowing to compete with Ieyasu. Seeing that the big war was about to break out, Kuroda Nagamasa ran out and said don't fight, the two of you fought and there was no good result, it was better to give up one step each, the reason for the war was very far-fetched. Toshinaga felt as if he really couldn't fight, so he sent his retainers Yokoyama Nagato and Ariga Naomasa to Osaka Castle to make a statement to Ieyasu, stating that he had no intention of making enemies of Ieyasu. Ieyasu disbanded the crusaders, but at the same time ordered Toshihide to send his mother Asson to Edo as a hostage. In this way, Kaga Million Stone submitted to Theogawa Ieyasu.
After finishing one, and then the next, Ieyasu shifted his gaze and began to look for a second opponent who had to be killed, and he picked the last seat of the "Five Elders", Aizu Wakamatsu Daimyo Uesugi Keikatsu.
Here Uesugi Keikatsu was moved from Echigo shortly before Toyotomi Hideyoshi's death to replace the Pusei clan sitting on Aizu, the original stone is 550,000 stones high, and the new collar stone is 1.2 million stones high, which is extremely strong. Because of the new territory, everything was not prepared, so after Jingsheng returned to China in the fourth year of Gyeongchang (1599), he recruited craftsmen on a large scale and began to build the castle and prepare the road. This is a very common thing, but Tokugawa Ieyasu rebukes him for plotting against him and asks Jingsheng to come to Osaka Castle to explain it.
Jing Sheng is also a head bag "Where did you come up?" If you want me to go, I will go? Am I not very faceless? He instructed Naoe to continue to write a reply, that is, the famous "Straight River".
What Naoe wrote, which can probably be understood as "Old turtle, I am a super mud horse", made Tokugawa Ieyasu, who is famous for his ability to endure, say: "I have read countless documents in the fifty-seven years of my life, and this is the most rude and unbridled book of the book!" This boy deceives people too much, can I tolerate such a work? "Maybe Ieyasu thought that if he used diplomatic means to coerce like the Maeda family, the Uesugi clan would obediently obey, and as a result, the Uesugi family also wanted to ascend to the throne, that is, to do it!"
The great war of the two worlds began.
Process: In June 1600, Tokugawa Ieyasu set out from Fushimi Castle in Kyoto to attack Uesugi Keikatsu and issued the world's first wanted order, which probably means that Uesugi Keikatsu did not observe the courtesy of the courtiers and wanted to fight against the thieves. But after setting off, he walked very slowly, saying that he was going to fight and grinning, and did not want to do it himself, waiting for the other daimyo forces along the road to get closer to him, and then let the vanguard troops act as cannon fodder and win the world by themselves.
On the other hand, Ishida Sansei is also a scumbag with ideas, as soon as he heard that Tokugawa Ieyasu was going to play Sugi Keikatsu, he went around persuading others not to join Tokugawa Ieyasu, and first went to find good friends such as Yoshiji Otani, Nagamori Masuda, and Ankokuji Keiyuki, Otani Yoshiji considered his own situation, he faced terminal leprosy, he thought that his life expectancy was not long, considering that he did not want to be hostile to his friend Ishida Sansei, he decided to help Ishida Sansei on July 11. The next day, the fifth day, he signed a petition, counting the thirteen major sins of Tokugawa Ieyasu, pushing Maori Huiyuan to the main place, inviting him to live in Osaka Castle, and calling on the princes of the world to unite under the banner of Huiyuan to attack Tokugawa Ieyasu. At the same time, the families of the forces that accompanied Tokugawa Ieyasu were all taken hostage, and they were not afraid of disobedience.
In response to the call of the five daimyō Ukita Hideyoshi, he personally led an army of 40,000 tofushi Castle, while Tokugawa Ieyasu's veteran torii Mototada had only 1,800 men under his command. Because of the fortified castle built as the original Taikaku castle and the stubborn resistance of the soldiers in the city, the attack failed for several days, and finally due to the rebellion of some of the Koga soldiers in the city, he was attacked and killed torii Mototada.
At this time, Tokugawa Ieyasu was meeting the princes of Shimono Koyama Castle, and received an urgent report from Torii Mototada, and immediately led the main force south to Edo. It is said that when Tokugawa Ieyasu marched eastward, he expected that Ishida Sansei and others would raise troops to attack Fushimi, so he made a final farewell with Torii Mototada, who was stationed at Fushimi Castle.
In fact, originally, the Satsuma Shimazu clan had agreed with Tokugawa Ieyasu to join the Eastern Army and defend Fushimi with Torii Motodada, but when the Shimazu clan came to the castle to request entry into the castle, they were stopped outside the castle by Torii Mototada in the name of not being informed, causing the Shimazu clan to fall to the Western Army in desperation.
Mitsunari Ishida
Ishida Sansei dared to raise an army against Tokugawa Ieyasu, except for Tokugawa Ieyasu who led the arbitrary daimyōs on an expedition to the Uesugi clan, kiuchi was empty, and the main reason was to convince two of the "Five Elders" to be on the same side as himself. At the same time, he also sent his brother Ishida Masasumi and others to block the Daimyo of nishikuni who had rushed to the eastern kingdom at Owari Aichikawa, leaving many soldiers and horses behind. In this way, the powerful military formation of up to 100,000 people with Maori Huiyuan as the nominal leader and Ishida San as the actual core was completed, known in history as the "Western Army".
Ishida Sansei is also, wisdom, internal affairs above must be a very powerful existence, is this march to fight above, a bit dead brain, not active, live to get rid of toyoya Hideyoshi's little fan brother, like to imitate some of Hideyoshi's tumultuous operations, but always imitate a look, can not adapt to local conditions, live learning and use.
Tokugawa Ieyasu, in Koyama Castle, found that things were not very good. Tokugawa Ieyasu informed the generals of Ishida Mitsunari's actions and the Osaka hostages, and declared that those in the audience who intended to return to Osaka to join Mitsunari would not be embarrassed if they wanted to return to Osaka to join the Mitsunari party.
Masanori Fukushima, Kuroda Nagamasa and other Toyotomi daimyōs did not have a good relationship with Ishida Mitsune, and expressed their willingness to follow Tokugawa Ieyasu back to the east and attack Ishida Sansei. Tokugawa Ieyasu ordered the conquest of the Uesugi clan, and hurried to the aid of the Uesugi clan, the fastest, not intercepted by Ishida Sansei, most of them were Toyotomi clan martial daimyōs, they were not necessarily optimistic about Tokugawa Ieyasu, but unanimously disliked Ishida Sansei. In this way, more than 100,000 troops, led by Tokugawa Ieyasu and the main force under the name of the arbitrary faction, were formed, and they turned their heads and marched westward, known in history as the "Eastern Army".
Tokugawa Army
At the beginning of the war, the Western Army had strategic dominance, and Ishida Sansei persuaded the lord of Mino Gifu Castle Oda Hidenobu (oda Nobunaga's grandson, The Third Master) to side with him, closed the gates of Tokaido, and divided his forces to suppress the castles of Kiuchi and, intending to fight a decisive battle with the Eastern Army on the vast Nono Plain. On the eastern front, the troops were divided into two routes, the southern front took the Tokaido, with Masanori Fukushima as the vanguard, Ieyasu taking the rear, and the central line taking the Higashiyama Road, led by Ieyasu's heir Tokugawa Hidetada, the main force of the Tokugawa Army of 27,000 men to the west, intending to attack Mino.
In this case, the Western Army made a mistake and lost almost every game. It is said that the main force of the Western Army attacked in the direction of Ise Kingdom, intending to completely pacify Ise, and after relieving its worries, it burst into Owari and echoed the north and south of Mino Gifu Castle. On August 5, Mori Hidemoto and Hiroya Yoshikawa led an army of 10,000 men to attack Annozu, the center of The Ise Kingdom. During the fierce battle, the wife of the lord of the city, Tomita Nobutaka, dressed in black and red armor, rushed out with a piece of scythe and stabbed to death the general Nakagawa Kiyoshimon under Mori Hidemoto. Because the defenders fought so bravely, the attacking side could not succeed for a long time, and finally relied on the wooden food of Mount Koya to mediate, and Tomita Nobugao retreated from Kaesong.
After too long delays under The City of Anongjin, the Western Army lost the initiative. On August 14, Masanori Fukushima returned to the main city of Owari Kiyoshu, and the daimyo of the arbitrary faction came one after another, and the strength of the army reached tens of thousands. It is said that kiyoju Castle had 300,000 stones of military food in storage, and Fukushima Masanori took it all out to replenish the military, and the Eastern Army used this to sweep through the large and small princes in Owari territory that favored the Western Army, and then went north into Mino. Mino was a large number of princes, led by Oda Hidenobu, and nearly 90% of them were inclined to the Western Army. The Eastern Army soon broke through the castles of Fukushu and Takasu and plunged straight into Gifu Castle. The young and vigorous Oda Hidenobu rejected the proposal of the heavy courtiers to cage the castle and personally led more than 3,000 people to meet the enemy at Yonechi on the banks of the Kiso River.
The Eastern Army of Mino in the north was divided into two teams, one with Fukushima Masanori as the vanguard, leading hosokawa Tadao, Fujido Takatoshi, Kuroda Nagamasa and other generals to attack Takenobi Castle in the west, and the other team, with Ikeda Keimasa as the vanguard, led by Generals Such as Asano Yukicho, Yamauchi Kazutoshi, and Horio Tadao, and marched north to the banks of the Kiso River. Originally, the two teams agreed to cross the river together to attack Gifu after fukushima returned from conquering Takenobi, but Ikeda Huimasa, in order to grab credit, brazenly launched the Battle of Kita-Tokisawa-Yoneno on August 22. The eastern army was 18,000 troops, Ikeda, Asano, Yamauchi and others were all generals who could fight in battle, in the face of strong enemies, Oda Hidenobu showed tenacity and tenacity that did not match his actual age, and disturbed the Eastern Army camp several times, but the disparity between the widows and widows was too great, and after a few hours of fierce fighting, the Oda army was forced to retreat, and Oda Hidenobu fled back to Gifu Castle.
Gifu Castle
In takenobi Castle, the shogun Sugiura Shigemori died after stubborn resistance, and Masanobu Fukushima returned triumphantly. However, only halfway to the road, Masanobu heard that when Ikeda Huizheng crossed the river first, he was furious and almost wanted to kill huizheng and fight with huizheng. Hui Zheng knew that he was in a loss, so he gave up the opportunity to attack Gifu Castle head-on and turned to the west himself. The Fukushima team soon surrounded Gifu Castle like an iron barrel. On the morning of August 23, the general offensive began, and within a day, the famous city that had once served as Oda Nobunaga's main castle finally fell, and Oda Hidenobu was forced to live in seclusion and died five years later— the blood of the Oda clan was cut off.
In fact, Ishida Sansei's troops were stationed in Ogaki Castle, more than twenty kilometers southwest of Gifu Castle, and he had planned to go east to join the Oda Army, but Hidenobu of Theaurus did not wait for reinforcements to arrive and went to battle in Kaisei, resulting in a crushing defeat. After receiving the news of the defeat at the Battle of Yoneno, Sansei sent his retainer Maeno Hyogo to rescue Gifu, and on the day gifu fell to the castle, he encountered the eastern army Kuroda Nagamasa, Tanaka Yoshimasa, and Fujido Takaho, and was defeated in a bitter battle. Misei knew that Gifu was no longer insipible, so he restrained the various ministries to return to Ogaki. In this way, the two armies of the East and the West divided Mino in two, looked at each other from a distance, and began a confrontation that lasted for half a month.
The 15,000-strong army of the Western Army attacked Otsu Castle, and at Ōtsu Castle, Kyogoku Takaji defended Tachibana's 15,000-strong army with 3,000 men. On the 14th, he was finally outnumbered, and after 9 days of resistance, Kaesong surrendered, and Kyogoku Takaji fled to Koyasan.
While Masanori Fukushima was fighting in the Nao Plains, Tokugawa Ieyasu remained in Edo Castle, sending emissaries many times to inspire the soldiers at the front, and on the other hand writing letters everywhere, trying to divide and disintegrate the Western Army from within. It was not until the good news of the victory at the Battle of Yoneno reached Edo that Tokugawa Ieyasu finally marched west. On September 14, he arrived at the Akasaka area northwest of Ogaki Castle and raised a white flag representing Genji. Seeing Tokugawa Ieyasu on the front line, the morale of the Eastern Army was high, while the Western Army camp, which was clinging to Ogaki Castle, was shaken.
In order to boost morale, Ishida Sansei's generals Shima zuojin and Kabuo Muraya led 500 soldiers and horses out of the city and crossed the Hangse River to provoke the eastern army. Nakamura, Arima and other units of the Eastern Army rushed forward to meet the enemy, and although it was a skirmish, the Western Army achieved a rare big victory and boosted morale.
Tokugawa Ieyasu wanted to wait for the arrival of his son Tokugawa Hidetada before attacking Ogaki Castle—because legend has it that Ieyasu was a master of field warfare, but siege warfare was not his forte. However, Hidetada, who had marched from Nakayama Province, was stopped by Sanada Masayuki from Shinano Ueda Castle, and was unable to reach Mino. Ieyasu decisively abandoned the meaningless confrontation, led his division into Omi, and spread rumors to attack Sawa Yamashiro, intending to defeat the Western Army in one fell swoop through field battles.
After the Western Army received the news, Ishida San became a defense and Yamashiro was attacked, and the main force left Ogaki and went to Sekigahara, which was close to the border of Omi, where he took up positions. Sekigahara is an important gateway from Mino to Omi, with mountains to the north and south, and The NakasenDo line, in addition, it is bordered by Hokuriku Street in the north and Ise Street in the south, which is a strategic point that must be fought over.
As the war dragged on, Tokugawa Ieyasu's prestige was unmatched in the world and he was good at playing tricks, Ishida Sansei found that more and more Western generals were secretly communicating with Ieyasu. There is no doubt that if it is delayed any longer, these guys may gradually throw themselves into the Eastern Army camp. Therefore, Sansei withdrew from Ōgaki, occupied sekigahara, and attracted the Eastern Army to come to the main battle, hoping that after winning this battle, he could change the hearts of the people, and then change the overall trend of the whole world.
Sekigahara Battle
Decisive Battle: The basic configuration of the Western Army in the Sekigahara area is as follows: stationed on a terrace called "Namtenmansan" slightly north of Higashiyama Province, the core of the Western Army array is the Hideya Ukita, one of the "Five Elders" of The Great Name of Bezen, with 17,220 men. Stationed behind the Uchiha Army flank, in the Fujigawa Highlands, 4,100 men from Otani Yoshiji's department and 1,300 men from Toda Shigemasa and Hiratsuka were stationed in the Fujigawa Highlands.
To the north of Ukita's army were 4,800 konishi governors and 1,500 Shimazu Izuchi Shinsai (Yoshihiro). Ishida Sansei and some of toyotomi's subordinates were stationed further north of Mount Sasao in the village of Oki, with a total of about 8,000 people. Located south of Nakayama Province, there were four small daimyō units, Nameō Naoho Akaza, Yutaka Ogawa, Motoyasu Motoki, and Yasuharu Wakosaka, lined up from northwest to southeast, with a total strength of 4,000 men. Further south, mount Matsuo is home to 15,000 people from Hideaki Hayakawa, the daimyō of Chikuzen.
As far as the main deployment of the Western Army is concerned, it is centered on The NakasenDo, with Mount Sasao and Mt. Matsuo as the two wings, slightly retracted in the middle, and unfolded left and right without scruples, with the formation of crane wings. Most of the Western Army was stationed on the hill, and in front of its formation, that is, just to the east, there was a relatively gentle open area, where the NakasenDo connected hokuriku and Ise streets, like a huge intersection. According to Ishida Sansei's plan, this intersection is where the Eastern Army was buried.
There is a peak in the southeast of Tokugawa Ieyasu's Mount Momo, called Mt. Nangong. The Western Army from Ise had actually been stationed in the eastern foothills of Nangong Mountain eight days earlier, with the intention of insisting on the headquarters of Ishida Sansei of Ogaki Castle, and since Sansei said that it would be shorter and longer than the Eastern Army in Sekigahara, these troops would not be happy to move their nests, and still wait for the enemy on the slopes south of the Nakayama Province. These forces were not weak, including 3,000 men from the Yoshikawa Hiroya (the third male of Yoshikawa Motoharu), 1,200 from the Maori diplomatic monk Ankokuji Keijo, 1,800 from nagashu Masamune, one of the "Five Noble Pursuits", 6,600 from the Tosa Daimyo Nagamasa Ibu Clan, and 15,000 from the southernmost maori front general Maori Hidemoto (the younger brother of the Huiyuan clan). This is the right wing of the Western Army.
Ishida Sansei, the de facto commander-in-chief of the Western Army, originally wanted to persuade Yododen to take Toyotomi Hiderai to Mount Sawa, the main castle of Ishida Sansei, and then to erect the golden horse label of the Toyotomi clan on the Sekigahara front. Both the Eastern and Western armies were called to maintain the unity of the Toyotomi clan and to fight rebellion, and if Hideyoshi's horse label could appear behind the Western Army array, then the Great Righteous Name possessed by the Western Army would naturally completely overwhelm the Eastern Army. However, Yododen shattered 30% of his wishful thinking on the grounds that Hideyoshi was too young and was the head of the Toyotomi clan and a member of the world, and could not leave Osaka without permission. However, the real general of the Western Army, Maori Huiyuan, was only a short general at all, and did not play the posture of the five elders at all, and even let the Yoshikawa Hiroyasu family secretly negotiate with Ieyasu to preserve his territory.
The entire Western Army was deployed at about 4:00 a.m. on September 15, when in fact the Eastern Vanguard had already entered the battlefield two hours earlier. The one who snatched up the early morning was, of course, the fierce general Masanori Fukushima, who had planted 6,000 soldiers and horses in a grove called "Seki no Akira", just under the command of the Ukita Hideyoshi family. This was followed by 21,000 men from Tanaka Yoshimasa, Kuroda Nagamasa, Hosokawa Tadao, Kato Yoshiaki, and Tsutsui, lined up north of the Fukushima Army, towards ishida Mitsunari's division, and nearly 8,000 men from Kyogoku Kochi, Terasawa Hirotaka, and Fujido Takatori, south of the Fukushima Army on the Fujikawa Heights to ensure flanking security.
The above was the first array of the Eastern Army, and the second team included Furuta Shigekatsu, Oda Arikusai, Kanemori Nagahide, and Ikuma Kazumasa (nearly 4,700 people), who were behind the northern array and served as guerrilla forces. In addition, there were 500 Honda Tadakatsu and 6,600 Naomasa I and Matsudaira Tadayoshi, which were installed in the north-south array. These were all direct subordinates of Tokugawa Ieyasu, matsudaira Tadayoshi was the son of Tokugawa Ieyasu, and their role was actually equivalent to that of a superintendent.
The former army entered the crossroads, and Tokugawa Ieyasu, as the main general, could not but keep up. At that time when the communication conditions were not developed, the main general was too far away from the former army, which inevitably caused the message to be blocked and the order to lag behind. So Tokugawa Ieyasu chose the "Momopai Mountain", which was less than two kilometers away from the Fukushima Army, to lay down 30,000 main forces. Momopaisan is located close to Nakasendo and is located in the south of the province, so the choice of this place as the main line shows that Tokugawa Ieyasu has a lot of field experience. But for Tokugawa Ieyasu, this was not a perfect choice. Because the Western Army had already stationed soldiers and horses in the area around Sekigahara, the overall layout had been repeatedly studied and reviewed for several days, while the deployment of the Eastern Army was relatively hasty and very arbitrary.
In order to guard against the Western Army stationed at the foot of the Nangong Mountains, especially the 30,000 soldiers and horses with the Maori Army as the main force. Tokugawa Ieyasu was forced to send 900 men of the Matoshi clan, 2,400 from Kazutoyo Yamauchi, 4,500 from Asano Yukinaga, and 6,500 men from Ikeda, and yanshan-naka do line up from west to east, facing south, to secure the flank of the main line and monitor the 30,000 troops of the Maori side.
On October 20, 1600, Tokugawa Ieyasu arrived in Akasaka, northwest of Ogaki Castle. As a result of the military discussion, it was decided to march west along the Nakayama Route, passing through Sekigahara, Buju Pass, and Omi, with the destination being Osaka. Ishida Mitsunari, Ukita Hideya, Governor Konishi, and Shimazu Yoshihiro received information that Ieyasu had deliberately revealed and decided to stop Ieyasu from advancing west in Sekigahara. So overnight along the Kimada River at the southern foot of The Nangong Mountains towards Sekigahara. When the last of the Ukita Hideya army arrived, the Western Army deployed at the southern foot of Mount Tenman, northwest of Sekigahara. At the same time, Hideaki Hayakawa deployed in Mt. Matsuo. Maori Hidemoto, Yoshikawa Hiroya, Nagasuki Masaya, Ankokuji Keijo, and Nagamasa Ibu were deployed on the east side of Nangong Mountain. At this time, the vanguard of the Eastern Army, Masanori Fukushima, arrived in Sekigahara in thick fog, and Tokugawa Ieyasu reached Momopaisan. Soon, the two armies were deployed. More than 54,000 men of the Western Army were led by Ishida Sansei, and another 26,000 men were deployed on the east side of nangong Mountain in an attempt to cut off the eastern army's retreat. More than 88,000 men of the Eastern Army were distributed on both sides of the NakasenDo. The two armies faced each other in thick fog.
At 8:00 p.m. on the 21st: The fog that enveloped Sekigahara began to recede. Ii Naomasa and Ukita Hideya began firing rifles. Later, in the midst of a rain of bullets, the Eastern Army's vanguard, Masanori Fukushima, launched a frontal assault on ukita's Hideka army.
At nine o'clock in the afternoon: Ishida Mitsunari, Shima Katsuma, and Kasuo Goshei's army and Kuroda Nagamasa, Hosokawa Tadao, Kato Kato, and Kanemori Nagashi began to engage. Masanori Fukushima and Tadayoshi Matsudaira began a battle against the Ukita Hideka army. Soon, Matsudaira Tadayoshi's army moved north to resist Shimazu's army. Furuta Shigekatsu and Oda Yuraku attacked Konishi's army. At the same time, Takato Fujido, Kyogoku Kochi, and Otani Yoshiyoshi began to fight. In order to prevent Hideaki Kohayakawa from defecting, Otani Yoshiji divided a part of his forces to guard against Mt. Matsuo. As Masanori Fukushima joined Terasawa's army and continued to fight against ukita Hidekazu's army, Ieyasu and Honda's tautaka army began to move toward the battlefield.
At 10:00 p.m.: Ishida asks Yoshihiro Shimazu for reinforcements, but is refused. The Western Army lit up wolf smoke and urged the Ōhayakawa Hideaki Army on Matsuo Mountain to join the Maori Hidemoto Army in the east of The Nangong Mountains, but there was no response.
Eleven o'clock in the afternoon: Under the strong battle of the Western Army's Otani Yoshiji, Shima Katsuma, and Ukita Hideya's army, the Eastern Army, although the strength of the troops was superior, could not be pleased. The war situation is one in and one retreat. Ieyasu returns to Momo-yamamoto. Yoshihiro Shimazu countered the attacks of Matsudaira Tadayoshi and Ii Naomasa. At the same time, Fujido Takatoshi and Kyogoku Kochi were repulsed by Otani Yoshi's army.
At 12:00 noon: The two sides were fighting, neither of them achieved a clear advantage, sitting on 15,000 troops, Hideaki Hayakawa became a key pawn, Ieyasu was anxious about the delay in the disappearance of the Hayakawa Hideaki army, which had already made an internal agreement, and after consideration, ordered a rifle team to take a detour to Matsuo Mountain, along the Black Blood River to the Ko hayakawa Hideaki Honjin in a salvo. Ieyasu's strategy was quite effective, and Hideaki Hayakawa, who had been like the grass at the head of the wall, decided that the Eastern Army had a certain advantage at this time and immediately made up its mind. Fortunately, Otani Yoshiji had the foresight to guard against Hideaki Kohayakawa in advance. Under the fierce battle, the attack of Hayakawa Hideaki's army was resisted. Unexpectedly, upon seeing Hideaki Kohayakawa surrender to the enemy, the Akaza Naoho, Ogawa Yutada, Mototsune Motoki, and Yasuji Wakosaka, who had already returned from Ieyasu's bedchamber, defected one after another, and Otani Yoshi's army could not resist and was defeated and retreated. Before long, Otani Yoshi's army collapsed.
At one o'clock in the afternoon: After the news of the total annihilation of Otani Yoshi's army spread, the Ukita Hideya and Konishi commanders collapsed and lost to Ibukiyama. Masanori Fukushima led his troops in hot pursuit. At the same time, Honda's tautakami army attacked ishida's mitten army, which had long been unable to support it. Ishida Sansei's army collapsed and was defeated on the northern side of the street.
At 2:00 p.m.: Shimazu Yoshihiro's army was defeated on the ise street.
At three o'clock in the afternoon: Anguoji Huiqiong, Nagashu Masaka, Maori Hidemoto, and Yoshikawa Hiroya of the Eastern Foothills of Nangong Mountain fled. The Eastern Army ended in a complete victory.
The Sekigahara Battle determined the overall situation of the world, and Tokugawa Ieyasu immediately began to re-divide the princes. The first was the punishment of the western generals, and the territories of the Ukita Hideya, Nagamasa Ibu Morikin, Ankokuji Keijo, Maeda Toshimasa, and others were confiscated. The western general Maori Huiyuan's domain was reduced from 1.21 million stones to only 370,000 stones, Uesugi Keikatsu was transferred to Hamezawa, the territory was reduced from 1.2 million stones to 300,000 stones, and a Satake Yoshinori confiscated the 540,000 stone territory of his Tokiwamito and transferred 200,000 stones to Hakubota. The territory of the Shimazu clan has remained largely unchanged, which is an outlier. From then on, the Japanese Sengoku fell into the hands of the Tokugawa shogunate.
