Kansuke Yamamoto
？？？？ Year 1561. His real name is Harushin, also known as Kansuke and Kansuke. A think tank that always defeats the Takeda Army. As a military division of Xinxuan, he made countless military achievements. Tokugawa Ieyasu also admired him and compiled his art of war into the Takeda Ryu Art of War, which was passed down to later generations.
Often accompanied by the unparalleled wisdom of Shin-hyun
Yamamoto Kansuke was not allowed to leave the kingdoms to his masters, and was discovered by Takeda Shingen's minister Itagaki Nobukata, and has been serving Shingen ever since. Originally named "Kang Shi", he then received a letter from Shingen, changed his name to Haruyuki, and then went out of the house and entered the Dao, taking the name of Dao Ghost. One-eyed and resourceful, he was a leader in tactical strategy for the Takeda Army.
Soon after Kansuke served Shingen, opportunities fell from the sky. In 1542, Takeda Shingen occupied Shinshu to visit Ueda Castle, Lai Zhong's residence, moved Lai Shige to Kofu and ordered him to commit suicide, but Shingen took a fancy to Lai Shigeru's daughter to visit the Imperial Material Man's "Common Name Unknown" (匀氏曰). Although Shingen is a hero and a hero, he is also sad about beauty, even surpassing his father Takeda Shinho. At that time, Shingen had six side chambers in addition to the main room Lady Sanjo (there are also legends that there are thirty, but Shingen's favorite of so many wives is to visit the Imperial Family). When Shingen expressed his desire to marry the visiting imperial court, the important courtiers led by Itagaki Nobukata objected. Because the courtiers refused to let Xinxuan risk a woman, they insisted on opposing it without fear of offending the lord, and as a result, Xinxuan was the result
There is also nothing they can do. At this time, he proposed a mysterious case to persuade his courtiers, and it was Yamamoto Kansuke who was expected to get the rewards he wanted. "There was no attempt to rebel against the leaderless visitors, and after The Duke of Xinxuan married the Visiting Emperor, he left her behind. The people who visited would also expect her to have a boy and revitalize and rejoice in the visiting home. If the Visiting Family really gives birth to a boy, then leave him in the Visitation and let him rule the Visitation. Therefore, it was a great joy for The Duke of Xinxuan to marry and take the imperial materials. Under the persuasion of the assistant, the courtiers weighed the weight and finally stopped opposing it, and Shingen was overjoyed, and from then on he reused Yamamoto Kansuke as his arm. As a result, after the birth of Takeda Katsurai, he was indeed supported by the visiting people.
The tactics of building the city's interior are unparalleled
According to the "Jiayang Junjian", "the urban architecture of the master is for the survey to help the stream", which shows that Yamamoto Kansuke exerted his extraordinary talent in the field of urban architecture. The shape of the city, the horse path, and the Mitsuki trench are considered to be the characteristics of Yamamoto Kansuke's construction of the city, and the castles of Takato Castle, Kozo Castle, and Kaizupo are representative of Yamamoto Ryu Castle. One of Takeda's four courtiers, Baba Nobunaga, was also a famous general who was good at building castles, but his method of building castles was taught by Yamamoto Kansuke, and the castle built by Shinbo in Suruga was built using Yamamoto's method of castle building.
Ichiri Shingen asked Kansuke, "What should we do in a year or two if we occupy other countries?" Kansuke replied, "First of all, we should make that country an integral part of the continent, recruit local capable people and give them land, and intermarry with the famous people who have lived here for generations." It is also necessary to ask the local couples, the people and those with prestige about the local customs and habits, and fully understand the local situation. When the Hiroshi sanada Yukitaka was attacked by Murakami Yoshiaki, the largest force in the northeast of Shinano, and temporarily settled in Ueno Kuni minaku castle, Kansuke recruited Shingen, who immediately accepted the appointment of Sanada Yukitaka as the acting lord of Iwao Castle in Saku-gun, after which the Sanada family became loyal subordinates of the Takeda family.
In 1550, Shingen sent an army to attack Shinano's Stone Castle, Murakami Yoshiaki immediately launched an attack from behind, the Takeda army suffered heavy losses, Itagaki Nobukata, Ganli Tohide and other important ministers were killed in battle, and the Takeda army was about to collapse in its entirety. At this time, it was also Yamamoto Kansuke who personally led the takeda army's reserve cavalry of fifty people to attack from the enemy's flank, giving Shingen valuable time to adjust his military posture and fight again. As a result, the Takeda army won the final victory and drove Murakami Yoshiaki's forces out of Shinano the following year. This battle of turning defeat into victory made Kansuke even more famous, and both enemies and I admired Kansuke's ability to turn things around.
Woodpeckers fail to repay the Lord with death
Yamamoto's only defeat was the fiercest and most widely known fourth battle in the Battle of Kawanakajima, where the famous "Woodpecker Tactics" were seen by the enemy. In the summer of 1561, Takeda Shingen and Uesugi Kenshin fought their fourth joint battle on Kawanaka Island. Kansuke proposed the "Woodpecker Tactics" and divided the whole army into two, and half of the troops attacked the Uesugi Army, which was deployed at Mt. Tsuneyoshi (Mount Saijo) at night. Unfortunately, Uesugi Kenshin saw through the intentions of the Takeda Army and quickly descended the mountain to cross the Senkugawa Yugu Ferry and re-deployed in the Hachimasa Hara. The Takeda Rangers, who attacked Mt. Tsutomu at night, rushed to Hachimanbara at once, but it was impossible to join the team for a short time. However, the takeda army headquarters met the Uesugi army that had been attacked by night as originally planned, and crossed the Chikuma River to march to The Eight Hats. The fog that shrouded the Eight Spoke Plains in the early morning cleared, and both armies noticed that the enemy was close at hand, and immediately began a fierce battle. The number of takeda soldiers was only half of the original, and Kenshin posed the famous "car hanging array" to launch a fierce attack on the Takeda army. At the beginning of the battle, Takeyuki was in trouble, and Shingen's younger brother Takeda Nobuharu was killed on the spot. Legend has it that Kenshin rode into the Takeda Army's main line and slashed at Shingen with the Three Tai Sword in his hand, and Shingen hurriedly resisted with military equipment, although the authenticity of this legend is difficult to distinguish, but it can be determined that the situation at that time was very favorable to the Uesugi Army.
Generally speaking, once the joint battle began, the military division had already completed its task of planning and advising, but seeing that the Takeda army was in a bitter battle, YamamotoSuke, who served as a military division, resolutely assumed the responsibility for the failure of the plan, refused to bear the stigma and secretly lived, and led several brave soldiers to rush into the enemy position, and finally died in honor. However, after the death of Kansuke, the situation on the battlefield was suddenly reversed. The Einsatzgruppen who attacked Mt. Tsutomu at night arrived at the battlefield, and the Takeda Army still formed a pinch attack on the Uesugi Army, and the Einsatzgruppen that had just arrived at the battlefield was full of morale, while the Uesugi Army had already shown its decline because of the long period of fighting. The two armies continued to fight fiercely, and a large number of soldiers were killed. According to takeda-side sources such as the Koyo Junkan, the Uesugi army was eventually defeated from the direction of Zenko-ji Temple, and the Takeda army won the final victory; Kenshin also announced the victory of the Uesugi army after the great war and rewarded the courtiers, but it is still not clear who won and who lost the battle. If Kansuke had been patient a little longer, he might have seen a reversal of the situation in the Takeda Army. Although he was known as a military master, judging by his actions, he was actually a good samurai and proudly gave his life for it.
Although he was once thought to be an elevated figure, historical documents about "Yamamoto Kansuke" were later discovered in Hokkaido, providing proof of his real existence, leaving only a very small number of researchers skeptical.
Although Yamamoto was called a military master, he was actually a samurai. Originally, victory or defeat was a common thing for soldiers, and it was normal for a plan to fail. However, the Takeda army was recognized in the woodpecker tactics and fell into a bitter battle, a large number of soldiers died in battle, even Shingen's brother Takeda Nobusu was killed on the battlefield, so Lesuke could not be reluctant and secretly lived, and chose to die in a glorious battle. Personally, I think it is precisely because of his act of abandoning life and death that he will make him famous in history, will leave a deep impression on future generations, and will be loved by players, perhaps because of this, the character setting in the game will set his ability to be high and he is a literary and martial all-rounder.
If he had chosen to continue to be patient and wait for the Einsatzgruppen to arrive, I am afraid that not many people would have worshipped him and liked him by now, at most they knew that there was such a person as him in the Takeda family during the Warring States period. And Shangjing's work "Wind Forest Volcano" takes him as the protagonist and describes in detail his journey from the Imakawa family to the Takeda family, from his origins to his death in battle.
