Daimyo sengoku of Japan · The legend and end of Takeda Shingen

Takeda Shingen ~ Let's watch the rest of his life!

People are castles, people are stone walls, people are moats

Affection is an ally, and the enemy is a vengeance.

This is one of Takeda Shingen's most famous quotes:

The courtiers are the castles, the vassals are the walls, the vassals are the trenches, and the good treatment is for my use, and the harsh treatment becomes the enemy

【Note】:

During japan's Sengoku period, it was impossible for the daimyo to see the "people" here as ordinary people, and Takeda Shingen was no exception. At that time, even some areas still practiced semi-slavery. Xiaobian believes that this should refer specifically to the "family subjects" in the forces.

If you disagree, I don't know, do I? Hahahaha...

Daimyo sengoku of Japan · The legend and end of Takeda Shingen

The greatest wealth is "talent"

We were in the previous episode: Japanese Sengoku Daimyo · Takeda Shingen introduces the first half of Takeda Shingen's life, let's continue to look at the various deeds of Takeda Shingen in the second half of his life!

The executives of the Takeda family —

Adhering to such a talent standard, the Sengoku Takeda family did have a powerful family that made all the daimyo envious, and because of this, the castle that the Takeda family fought down was never built... Just keep it up.

And Takeda Shingen's extensive absorption of talents is not limited to his base in Kai Kingdom, and the ratio of household subjects from Kai Kingdom and other regions has reached a staggering 1:5;

【Note】

The so-called "Takeda Twenty-Four Generals" figure published on a large search engine are all fake:

1. The twenty-four generals of Takeda are all listed in the folk, not the ranking within the Takeda family;

2. These twenty-four people did not theoretically appear at the same time, because when someone died, someone had not yet entered the Takeda family;

The beginning of the half-life legend of Takeda Shingen

In 1553, Takeda Shingen (Takeda Harunobu) and Uesugi Kenshin (Nagao Keisho) fought the first head-on battle (the First Battle of Kawanakajima) in Shinano Province, and both of them, in their hearts, recognized each other as the greatest enemy in their lives, and each decided to defeat this opponent with all their might;

Causes of the First Battle of Kawanakajima:

Takeda:

★ The base camp of The Kafi country has a poor natural environment and low grain production;

★ Shinano country is rich in products and high grain production;

★ After defeating Suwa, Murakami, and Ogasawara, Takeda had almost all of Shinano's territory;

Uesugikata:

★ The northern part of Shinano Kingdom borders the Echigo Kingdom, the base camp of Uesugi, and the former gentry in northern Shinano are actually controlled by the Uesugi family;

★ Uesugi Kenshin was strict with himself and strict with others, believing that the Takeda family was a "war of injustice" due to the expansion of their own selfish desires;

★ The Hao clan in the north of Shinano Kingdom lost territory and sought refuge from Uesugi Kenshin, who sent troops to protect their rights and interests;

★ The border of Shinano was only 70 kilometers from its base, Kasugayama Castle, and the Takeda forces threatened their own security;

So --

In 1554, Takeda Shingen first formed an in-law alliance (The Three Kingdoms Alliance) with Imakawa Yoshimoto and Hojo Clan Yasushi in the east to secure the rear.

In 1555 (Battle of Sashikawa, the eldest son Takeda Yoshinobu Hatsumi), in 1557 he fought twice with Uesugi Kenshin in the Kawanakajima area (the Second and Third Battles of KawanakaJima);

At this time, the Takeda family led by Shingen was the most prosperous period, and the territory area of the Katana kingdom was no longer a region of the original Kai kingdom, not only had a large territory of the Shinano kingdom, but also obtained part of the territory of the Mino kingdom and Ueno kingdom, and the stock of the Sengoku Takeda family co., Ltd. could be described as climbing steadily, and finally in 1560 there was the first "K-line top divergence".

The weakness of the Triple Alliance

In 1560, a major problem arose in the Three Kingdoms Alliance of Koshiro (Kafi Takeda, Sagami Hojo, and Suruga Imakawa):

【Barrel Raid】

Suruga Imakawa Yoshimoto, the head of the Imakawa family, decided to enter the capital and led an army of 25,000 (makoto), passing through the territory of Owari Kingdom and being attacked by Oda Nobunaga, the most famous guy of the Warring States, Oda Nobunaga, and was killed. About 2,000 to 2,500 soldiers were killed.

Daimyo sengoku of Japan · The legend and end of Takeda Shingen

Tokaido First Bow · Yoshimoto Imagawa

Yoshimoto Imakawa, the powerful daimyō who was killed by Oda Nobunaga, was historically a famous "gentleman (bian) shi (tai)" daimyō who not only played football, but was also proficient in even singing and drama... And also... Baby.

In the early days, Imagawa Yoshimoto was invited by the Matsudaira family to assist him in attacking Oda Nobunaga's father, Oda Nobunaga, and in a matter of minutes, he also captured Oda Nobunaga's son Oda Nobuhiro alive, known as the "Tokaido Daiichi Bow Takeri (Daimyo)".

During a surprise attack between the barrel gorges, he was killed by Oda Ieya hattori Kohata and Maori Shinsuke.

It is said that in the final battle, Kodaira pierced Imakawa Yoshimoto's thigh with a spear, and he himself was cut off by Imagawa Yoshimoto! Maori Shinsuke rushes in to fight Yoshimoto Imagawa, and in the process is bitten off by the dying Yoshimoto Imagawa, and it took the two of them to kill Yoshimoto Imagawa.

Daimyo sengoku of Japan · The legend and end of Takeda Shingen

The famous weak chicken that inherited the Imakawa family · Imagawa Clan Makoto

Imakawa Yoshimoto's eldest son, Imagawa Clan Makoto, inherited the family governor (lord), and similar to all historical situations, Ox-X's father always had sons who did not become instruments, and Imakawa Clan Makoto did not surprise people (except for his skills). Since then, the Imagawa family has become the weakest link in the "Three Kingdoms Alliance";

Daimyo sengoku of Japan · The legend and end of Takeda Shingen

Motoyasu Matsudaira (Ieyasu Tokugawa)

Not only that, but what was more crucial after the Battle of the Barrel Pan was the entry of another character on the stage of history, that is, Matsudaira Motoyasu (Tokugawa Ieyasu), who had been a hostage in the Imagawa family, took advantage of the internal chaos of the Imakawa family to lead his vassals to declare independence in Okazaki Castle in the Mikawa Kingdom.

The Fourth Battle of Kawanakajima broke out

The death of Yoshimoto Imagawa makes the Takeda family need to respond in the state of "Pig Teammate" + "God Opponent" at this time!

-1561-

Uesugi Kenshin's 16,000 soldiers left Echigo Andi and entered the Kawanakajima area in northern Shinano.

Upon learning of the war report, Takeda Shingen immediately gathered 18,000 men to the front line of Kaizu Castle to fight against the defender Takasaka Masanobu (about 2,000 defenders) against Uesugi Kenshin.

Uesugi Kenshin was very cautious, and only 16,000 people were brought with him in this battle, 3,000 troops were divided to ensure the safety of the supply line, and about 20,000 people were stationed in kasugayama castle at the base camp to prepare for the unexpected.

Takeda Shingen's entire army was 18,000 + 2,000 men in Kaizu Castle, and about 20,000 troops were waiting for them. The two sides confronted each other in front of the position for many days, and neither dared to act rashly. At this time, Takeda Shingen's military division Kansuke Yamamoto proposed the combat strategy "Woodpecker Tactics"!

【Woodpecker Tactics】

With a surprise attack force, they stormed Uesugi Kenshin's home front at "Mt. Tsuyoshi", forcing it to disturb and then retreat, and then the honjin led by Takeda Shingen stood by at the predetermined location and carried out a strategy of sweeping up the panicked Uesugi family troops.

Just like a woodpecker constantly knocking on the trunk of a tree on the back of a tree, causing the insect to crawl toward the hole in fright, it is named after the woodpecker who eats it once it is out. Note: The Takeda family used this tactic many times in subsequent wars.

Shingen took this advice, and the surprise attack team was led by Takeda Shingen's most famous boyfriend, Masanobu Takasaka.

Escape & Tadashi · Masanobu Takasaka

Takasaka Masanobu's surprise attack team of 12,000 people, with Baba Nobunaga as the second-in-command, marched from Kaizu Castle overnight, with the goal of bypassing the flank of mt. Uesugi's main line and launching a sneak attack;

And Xinxuan himself, leading the remaining 8,000 people, waited at the predetermined location for the general attack signal at 6 a.m.;

Daimyo sengoku of Japan · The legend and end of Takeda Shingen

Fourth Battle of Kasakajima · Sketch

Students who are familiar with history know what happened:

It is said that Uesugi Kenshin's spies saw the cooking smoke of Kaizu Castle late at night, and Uesugi Kenshin immediately judged that there would be a military operation in the Takeda Army, which was eating in advance!

Uesugi Kenshin made an emergency dispatch at 2:00 a.m., leaving 1,000 men and horses in his wife and daughter Yamamoto, and personally led the remaining 12,000 people directly down the mountain to Hachimanawara, ready to directly attack Takeda Shingen's main line.

Daimyo sengoku of Japan · The legend and end of Takeda Shingen

Kenshin Uesugi: Little Genko, I know your plan, ahem

The next morning, the thick fog had just cleared some of it, and the people in front of Takeda Shingen Honjin were full of people, and when the centaurs passed through the fog, they found that this was not the remnants of the Uesugi family who had been driven away, but the main force of the Uesugi family!

It is also recorded in the historical records that Takeda Shingen also looked embarrassed when he saw this scene, and immediately ordered his team to deploy to meet the enemy, and takeda Shingen's army fell into an unfavorable situation at the beginning of the battle:

◆ The Uesugi Army's Kakisaki Keiki family, relying only on a few hundred people, tore through the undefined position of the famous Takeda general Ibi Fu Changjing (Yamagata Changjing), and Imi Fu Changjing's troops fell into a state of fighting for their own battles without command;

◆ Takeda Nobuharu's troops also lost their formation under the repeated attacks of Uesugi Kenshin's "Car Hanging Array", and takeda Shingen's 8,000 men began to retreat one after another, facing the situation that the entire army formation was about to be scattered;

◆ The 1,000 men who remained in the Tsumo-no-Yama-san evacuation raid team were commanded by Uesugi Army's Katsumi Omi, and his identity was almost equal to that of an outcast or cannon fodder, but the bloody battle of these 1,000 people actually made Takasaka Masanobu's 12,000-raiding team unable to attack for a long time, and successfully prevented the Takeda surprise attack troops from leaving the Tsutomuyama position and going to Hachimanhara to rescue the main general Takeda Shingen.

Shingen's younger brother Takeda Shintoshi, the highest-ranking commander of the Takeda family besides Shingen, watched as Uesugi's soldiers flocked to Shingen Honjin like a tide, and Takeda Nobutoshi shouted his name:

Daimyo sengoku of Japan · The legend and end of Takeda Shingen

"I am Takeda Nobuyoshi! Have the ability to take away my first level of reward! ”

The soldiers of the Uesugi Army were immediately shouted by this black sesame paste... Oh no, the opportunity to rise to fame was tempted, and a large number of soldiers changed course and attacked Takeda Nobuharu, and takeda's old minister, Tokaku Huding (Nobuhiro's master), rushed to Takeda Nobutoshi's side to fight the enemy, and eventually both died (Nobuhiro was 36 years old and Tokaku Huding was 81 years old).

Opinions differ as to the cause of Takeda Nobuho's death:

★ Theory 1: Voluntary death

This younger brother of Xinxuan was very liked by his father at the beginning, and almost planned to abolish Changli in the past, Xinxuan also felt that this was a scourge, and always wanted him to send him to death to pull down, Xinfan also knew that his popularity was very high, he had seen Xinxuan's Wenzhi martial arts, and believed that his brother Xinxuan could be a good family, so he voluntarily died in battle to stabilize his own family;

★ Theory 2: The loss of hands and feet

Shingen actually trusts his younger brother Shinho very much, and with his close looks, he has always let him go out to fight in his own name (Shadow Samurai), and this time Takeda Nobuyoshi is in crisis, because Nobuyuki's eldest son Takeda Yoshinobu attacked without permission, and Takeda Nobuyoshi was killed in order to save his brother's son. Just like Liu Bei's emotions when he was in Changshanpo, he became dissatisfied with his eldest son Yixin and later laid the foundation for Yixin's rebellion; Zhao Yun in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms returned alive, but his younger brother Takeda Nobuhiro died.

No matter how we explain it, we cannot find any evidence from the historical data whether yixin made a mistake on that day, nor does it have any evidence to show that Xinxuan was jealous of Xinfan, but Xinfan's bravery was indeed firmly remembered;

The famous takeda general Sanada Masayuki named his second son Sanada Nobuhiro, hoping that he would become a samurai who stood tall in the sky in the future, and this Sanada Nobuhiro, that is, the first strong japanese soldier who was active in the Battle of Osaka in the future——

Daimyo sengoku of Japan · The legend and end of Takeda Shingen

Sanada Yukimura (Nobuhiro): Do you know that "Yukimura" is not my real name

In any case, the actual situation of the battle was: Takeda Nobuharu and the Horned Tiger were killed, which caused a huge blow to the Takeda Army, Takeda Shingen was grief-stricken, and Yamamoto Kansuke, who planned this tactic, also fell into deep self-blame:

Daimyo sengoku of Japan · The legend and end of Takeda Shingen

Nosuke Yamamoto

"The repeated attacks of the Uesugi Army that our army faced, the famous samurai were killed in one block and ten, and we were still waiting for the surprise attack team to return, which was obviously the result of the failure of my strategy."

So he led the horse, rushed into the left and right of the Uesugi army to kill, beheaded more than ten enemies (another said more than thirty) and was besieged and killed;

At this time, the Takasaka Masanobu surprise attack team that attacked his wife and daughter Yamasugi Kenshin honpo finally broke through the defensive containment of 1,000 people in Okazu Omi, entered the main battlefield at about 10 a.m., and immediately attacked Uesugi Kenshin despite fatigue, takeda Shingen's morale was greatly improved, and he rushed to kill bravely, and the battle situation finally reversed, and Uesugi Kenshin was forced to lead his army to begin to retreat.

[Comrade Yamamoto Kansuke, if your face is a little thicker, you don't have to send him to death..."】

The only time the legend has it that Uesugi Kenshin and Takeda Shingen had a head-to-head with took place at this time, it is recorded that:

The white-robed general (Uesugi Kenshin) rode a horse (releasing moon hair) and rushed straight to takeda Shingen's main line, and the soldiers could not be stopped, and the white-robed general rushed straight to takeda Shingen, who was in command, and slashed three times in a row, Shingen blocked two knives with his military equipment (gourd-shaped iron fan) in his hand, and the third knife was slashed in the shoulder.

The flag (Guards) poured in one after another, and the white-robed general had no choice but to leave the Takeda Army on horseback...

Although it feels the same as the novel, I have to admit that it is quite exciting, you see, everyone listens to it and takes it seriously:

Daimyo sengoku of Japan · The legend and end of Takeda Shingen

Statue of the Battle of KawanakaJima

After the war, Uesugi Kenshin led the remaining troops back to Echigo; Takeda Shingen tightened his grip on his rule in northern Shinano Province;

Outcome of the Fourth Battle of Kawanakajima:

Uesugi Kenshin 16,000 people, 3,470 dead, 9,400 wounded (casualty rate 72%)

Takeda Shingen 20,000 people, 4,630 dead, 12,000 wounded (casualty rate 88%)

A well-known author, in his own work, once jokingly called the Japanese Sengoku "village chief fight", the total number of casualties in a single war in Japanese history is indeed less than 30%, and the number of casualties in the Fourth Battle of Kawanakajima exceeded the Osaka Summer Formation that ended the Japanese Sengoku (the largest battle in Japanese history, with a total of 230,000 troops on both sides).

Who won the war?

After the war, both sides declared that they had won the Fourth Battle of Kawanakajima, so who won?

Judging from the results, at the Battle of Kasakajima, the Takeda family basically occupied the entire territory of shinano province, and Takeda won;

From the perspective of talent, the Takeda family's "director and supervisor" killed many people, but it was a fiasco;

Daimyo sengoku of Japan · The legend and end of Takeda Shingen

The result of the Fourth Battle of Kawanakajima

Takeda Yoshinobu rebellion

"My son Yoshinori, when I got your grandfather Takeda Shinho, you weren't weaned yet!" Are you still playing rebellion? ”

At the Fourth Battle of Kawanakajima in 1561, the Takeda family lost a number of excellent vassals, and it was difficult to launch a large-scale frontal battle with Uesugi Kenshin again in the short term.

Takeda Shingen's Secret Strategy · Drive the tiger and swallow the wolf

The Takeda clan instigated support for the hegemony of the Hida kingdom of the Edema clan, and then instructed the Eima clan to unite with the Shiina clan against Uesugi Kenshin in the central Region of Vietnam, although in the end Shiina and Eima were defeated by Uesugi Kenshin, but they effectively restrained Uesugi Kenshin and did not have time to take care of the Takeda family's military operations in the Shinano area.

Takeda Shingen's Secret Strategy · Qin lost his deer

Imagawa Yoshimoto was killed by Oda Nobunaga, and the successor of the Imagawa clan was really weak, sitting on the Toe and Suruga, bordering the sea in the east, not only the land was fertile, but also the sea outlet, and could obtain sea salt and control the maritime trade;

[Note 1] The Takeda family's base area, the Kai Kingdom, was between the lofty mountains and mountains, and trade and expeditions required crossing mountains and mountains. Shingen's greatest wish was to see the sea and have a port;

[Note 2]: As a very important material, table salt can only rely on a large amount of funds to import;

Inevitably, the Takeda family's strategic approach began to shift to the Imakawa family, an ally of the Three Kingdoms Alliance;

[The great wheel of the alliance is meant to sink and sink...]

The eldest son, Takeda Yoshinobu, was the first to object, because during the Three Kingdoms Alliance, he married the daughter of Imagawa Yoshimoto, that is, he is now the brother-in-law of the Imakawa clan, the head of the Imagawa clan.

[However, the takeda family style has always been the opinion of the father not to see his son]

Takeda Yoshinobu began to clearly have a conflict with his father Shingen.

One day in 1565, Takeda Yoshinobu found his teacher, Iato Torama, and said something startling to him:

"The Father Seems to have forgotten the importance of the promise, determined to betray the Three Kingdoms Alliance, to betray the integrity of the samurai ... In order not to let the Takeda family be looked down upon by others, please help me this time as you did when you helped your father (Takeda Shingen) expel your grandfather (Takeda Shinho) from the time! ”

Ibitohu Chang's heart... It should probably crash:

"The young owner... First of all, we think your dad never talked about integrity... Secondly, your father's proficiency in rebellion is much higher than yours! child... No Zuo No Die! ”

This conversation happened to be overheard by the younger brother of Iefu Huchang next door, Ibi Fuchangjing (later Yamagata Changjing), who also fell into a tangle after hearing it:

"On one side is the lord of admiration, on the other side is the brother of a blood relative... Help your brother rebel together? Or exposing his brother's conspiracy? ”

Daimyo sengoku of Japan · The legend and end of Takeda Shingen

The dilemma is not just because of women

In the end, Ii Fu Changjing still decided to tell this news to Takeda Shingen, and Shingen was very emotional and thanked Ii Fu Changjing for making such a tangled choice:

Daimyo sengoku of Japan · The legend and end of Takeda Shingen

This work group chat, stimulating isn't it?

Because the rebellion was exposed, Takeda Shingen wanted to execute Takeda Yoshinobu, and Iida Huchang and others who participated in the rebellion said that they were responsible for everything themselves, and that they could not execute Takeda Yoshinobu, and Iida Huchang and other masterminds committed suicide by cutting their stomachs to apologize.

PS: As of now, the so-called "Takeda Twenty-Four Generals" have died 9 times

As for the informant Iifu Changjing, Shingen ordered him to inherit the Takeda Mingmen family (which had been severed, and was copied by his father Shinho) Yamagata family, change his name to Yamagata Changjing, inherit the "Red Bi" regiment of the Guards created by his brother Iatohu Changchang, and carry it forward, and its fame shook the world.

The eldest son, Takeda Yoshinobu, was stripped of his inheritance rights, and a group of old courtiers interceded one by one, but this time Shingen did not agree, and Takeda Yoshinobu was forced to divorce the princess of the Imakawa family, and then was imprisoned in Toko-ji Temple, and 2 years later he was still forced to commit suicide (Ichigo died of illness).

But this incident provoked another person————

Daimyo sengoku of Japan · The legend and end of Takeda Shingen

Suwa Shiro Katsurai (Takeda Katsurai, son of Shingen and his niece)

Suwa Shiro (Takeda) Katsurai:

"The eldest son, Takeda Yoshinobu, was found to have rebelled, and shouldn't it be right to abolish the right to inherit?" What do you old ministers beg? I am also the son of Shingen, and my talent is not bad, so why can't I inherit the Takeda family? Say what Takeda Yoshinobu has both talent and talent, the young Gaishi... In fact, you people look down on me!! ”

Take advantage of his illness to kill him

"Our journey to the Takeda family is... Gateway to the sea! ”

In order to get the coveted access to the sea, Takeda Shingen still attacked his former ally Imakawa family.

Mr. Lin, you don't want to join in the fun

-1568-

Takeda Shingen secretly agreed with Tokugawa Ieyasu to divide up the territory of the Imakawa family, with Tokugawa Ieyasu occupying the Toe Domain and Takeda Shingen occupying the Suruga Domain;

Daimyo sengoku of Japan · The legend and end of Takeda Shingen

The Takeda family officially sent troops to their former ally, the Imakawa family.

The Three Kingdoms Alliance broke down, and the Hojo clan complied with the contract and sent reinforcements to the Imagawa clan to attack Takeda Shingen, who calmly responded and repelled the combined forces of Hojo and Imagawa in December of the same year, taking Surufu Castle in one fell swoop;

-1569-

Takeda Shingen was stabbed diplomatically in various ways, which can be described as a state of incomplete skin:

· Tokugawa Ieyasu and the Imagawa family reached an armistice;

· After the Hojo family and the Takeda family's sworn enemies, the Uesugi family formed an alliance (Sogotsu Alliance);

· Tokugawa, Imakawa, Hojo, and Uesugi join forces to encircle Takeda Shingen!

Shingen Takeda Secrets · An insunion attack

At this time, Takeda Shingen could be described as an enemy on his back, but his amazing military talent could only be fully manifested at this time:

★ Send troops to the south to defend the combined Forces of Tokugawa and Imagawa outside the border;

★ Inciting rebellions by the Uesugi clan to contain Uesugi Kenshin;

★ With the help of the imperial court and the shogun Ashikaga Yoshiaki, the Emperor issued an edict ordering the Uesugi family to cease the war with the Takeda family (reached in August 1569)

★ Allied with the Satake clan of the Toraku Kingdom, the Ryota clan of the Shimosō Domain, and other forces in the Kita Kwantung region, besieging the territories around the Hojo clan;

★ The main army of the Takeda family besieged Hojo Castle in October 1568 · Odawara Castle;

The four kingdoms of Tokugawa, Imagawa, Uesugi, and Hojo were broken down one by one and disintegrated, at which point the Takeda army had gathered in Odawara, the home city of Hojo, to besiege this "fortress that could not be attacked".

Battle of Sanzeng Gorge

When Takeda Shingen's army surrounded Odawara, reinforcements from the other Hojo families did not break the siege at all! Because Odawara Castle has military food that can support 3 years + tens of thousands of defenders, and there are rivers in the city, it is not afraid of cutting off water and grain;

The Hojo clan's army in other areas actually laid an ambush and built a defensive line directly on the road where Takeda Shingen retreated, preparing to annihilate Takeda Shingen in one fell swoop when the Takeda family army was forced to retreat;

Shingen, who learned of the battle, ordered the whole army to abandon the siege and prepare for retreat, and on the way back, completely crushed the Hojo army that was pursuing and blocking in the Sanzen gorge area, and there was also the son of Hojo Clan Kang in this defensive line; Hojo Clan Yasushi exclaimed when listening to his son's report on the complete defeat of the blockade operation:

Sagami's Lion · Hojo Clan Yasushi

"In an absolutely unfavorable situation, I can still turn defeat into victory, even if I go to this battle myself (to block Xinxuan), I believe that the battle situation will not change, I am really the first general in the world, and my clan Kang is indeed inferior to him."

Nobunaga surrounds the net

If you don't die, you really won't die, and you still Too young, too simple

Oda Nobunaga, the first hipster of the Sengoku period, supported Ashikaga Yoshiaki, escorted him back to Kyoto, and used money and force to make him the new "Great Shogun of Seiyi".

Daimyo sengoku of Japan · The legend and end of Takeda Shingen

Shogi Yoshiaki Ashikaga

But all this made the people of the imperial court love and hate and fear Oda Nobunaga:

Love is because he is generous, nobunaga since he took control of Kyoto, everyone's living standards are like riding on a rocket;

The hatred was because he simply ignored the imperial court, not only despised the secretary of state, but also did not pay attention to the emperor;

I am afraid that because he is inconsistent and moody, the army is stationed near Kyoto, and I am slightly dissatisfied with all kinds of heads;

In the end, Ashikaga Yoshiaki could not stand the tyranny of Oda Nobunaga, secretly contacted the powerful daimyo in various places, and issued a covenant to encircle Oda Nobunaga, and there were not a few people who responded for a while.

Japan is a Buddhist country and the temples have enormous rights:

★ With religious sanctions, the emperor is also a Buddhist

★ It has a temple territory, which does not belong to the national or local daimyo

★ It has an armed force, the monks, and the number is quite large

★ It has a lot of exclusive rights

Oda Nobunaga fought everywhere in the so-called encirclement net, physically and mentally exhausted, and as a result, the remnants of the enemy's defeated soldiers all sneaked into the temple to hide, and the temple sheltered them against Nobunaga, at this time Oda Nobunaga, in a rage, burned the Hiei-san Yanli Temple, which harbored the defeated soldiers of the Asakura family and the Asai family, and killed all those who could resist.

Oda Nobunaga

Should the monks of the Temple of Stern die? Members of the jury are requested to make their own judgment:

★ Encourage the populace to give alms and donate their belongings to the temple (jury: ......). 【Indifferent】

★ Directing the people everywhere to revolt against the local lords (jury: ......). 【Indifference】

★ Group purchase fireworks women enter the temple to open a "feast of sea and sky" (jury: 嘁嘁喳喳...) 【Head to ear】

★ Bring beautiful women into the monastery to be wives for the monks (jury: burn!). Nobunaga Gong GJ!! 【Mountain Hu Tsunami】

In any case, the burning of Mount Hiei left Oda Nobunaga wanted by all the temples and given the name of Buddha's enemy. In fact, the relationship between Oda Nobunaga and Takeda Nobunaga is not particularly bad, at least Oda Nobunaga should think so:

- 1565 - After Takeda Yoshinobu loses the right to inherit, Shingen quickly asks Takeda Katsurai to marry Nobunaga's adopted daughter

- 1567.11.1 - Katsurai and Nobunaga's adopted daughter's child was born (Takeda Nobunaga), and Nobunaga's adopted daughter died in childbirth

- 1567.11.19 - Death of the eldest son Takeda Yoshinobu, who lost the right to inherit (this point in time is most likely to be urgently satisfied)

- 1567.12 - Oda Nobunaga hastened to have his eldest son, Nobunaga, marry takeda Shingen's daughter in order to strengthen the alliance

However, this changed due to the death of Yasuyasu Hojo.

In 1571, he died of Yasushi Hojo, and he was appointed to the Hojo clan.

In 1571, the Takeda clan suppressed the entire territory of Suruga Kingdom, extending its territory to the sea.

In 1571, the Takeda family was formed by the Junhe River Army.

The hojo clan's new governor, hojo clan, broke off his alliance with the Uesugi clan and instead allied himself with the Takeda clan again (said to have been entrusted by Yasushi Yasushi before his death).

Kosou Alliance (Hojo Clan Administration Edition)

The re-alliance between Kai (Takeda) and Sagami (Hojo) was unexpected, but expected. And the author believes that it is the result of the deathbed instructions of the old fox Hojo Clan Yasushi:

Uesugi Kenshin did not marry, naturally had no children, and had only two adopted sons, one of whom was inherited by the Hojo family (Uesugi Masahide);

Once Uesugi Kenshin dies and the adopted son of the Hojo family is on the throne, then sooner or later the foundation of the Uesugi family will be Hojo's, and in this matter, as long as the Takeda family does not make trouble, it is basically a nail in the coffin, then harmony with the Takeda family and good relations are the most important things.

However, our Hojo clan government did a more desperate job, not only allied with Takeda, but also sent his brother Hojo clan Tadashi and Hojo clan rules as hostages to the Takeda family... Is this a consideration that in case the Takeda family and the Hojo family break up again, anyone who can threaten their position will be cut down by the Takeda family? I had to give 100 points for this set!!

As a Buddhist, Takeda Shingen, in view of the fact that the burning of the temple was indeed a big problem, wrote a letter to Oda Nobunaga, signed "TendaiZa Shamen Shingen", and legend has it that Oda Nobunaga did not very politely reply to the letter, signing "Sixth Day Demon King Nobunaga".

It is not known whether it was because Oda, who signed the demon king, replied to the letter, or because the rear was once again allied with Hojo, Takeda Shingen decided to join the "Second Nobunaga Encirclement Network", breaking the alliance with the Oda family and attacking Oda Nobunaga. It became the most powerful force in the Encirclement Network Alliance at that time.

Daimyo sengoku of Japan · The legend and end of Takeda Shingen

In fact, it has to be admitted that the speed of Oda Nobunaga's territorial expansion at that time needed to be cleaned up for Shingen, and the first step was to eliminate Oda Nobunaga's ally, that is, today's sword that had been negotiated with the Imakawa family and thus had a knife for himself.

"Old Tokugawa tortoise, let's teach you a lesson!"

Tokugawa Ieyasu currently owns the Mikawa Kingdom (the base camp) and the Toe Kingdom (stolen by the present-day Kawa family), and is Oda Nobunaga's only current ally and the only barrier against Takeda Shingen's army.

Daimyo sengoku of Japan · The legend and end of Takeda Shingen

Battle of the Three Sides

Takeda Army March Route:

1. Takeda Shingen led 30,000 troops and directly attacked the Far River Kingdom;

2. Akiyama Nobutomo led 5,000 troops to attack the Three Rivers Kingdom;

3. Akiyama Nobutomo detoured back to the Far River Country halfway through to disrupt the deployment of the enemy army;

4. Akiyama Nobutomo and Shingen met in The Far River, only 10 days after the dispatch of troops;

5, Tokugawa Ieyasu Tsutomori Hamamatsu Castle, Unfavorable Relief Futamata Castle;

6. Oda Nobunaga reinforced 3,000 troops and rushed to Hamamatsu Castle;

7. The total number of Tokugawa Oda's allied forces is 11,000;

8. Nimata Castle was captured by the Takeda Army, and the gateway to the Far River Kingdom was wide opened;

9. Akiyama Nobutomo led his troops to sneak into Iwamura Castle;

10. Oda Nobunaga lived in Gifu Castle in crisis;

Three-way original showdown

Anyone who knows the history of the Sengoku period knows that this was the most humiliating battle in Tokugawa Ieyasu's life, so let's take a look at the situation:

Military power comparison

Oda Nobunaga reinforcements of 3,000 men + 300 muskets (Drawer BanXiu, Hayashi Hideyoshi, Sakuma Nobunaga)

Tokugawa Ieyasu garrisoned 8,000 men

Takeda Shingen power 30,000 people (Akiyama Nobutomo 5000 people attacked and occupied Iwamura Castle)

Ten days ago, Akiyama Nobutomo went for a circle in the Three Rivers Kingdom, and the chickens and dogs in the Three Rivers Country jumped, and the result was only a feint attack; although it was only a feint, but in these 10 days, on average, a castle was breached every 36 hours.

The Takeda army completed the second assembly in only 10 days, and now that the troops were in the city, the defenders had no time to draw back, so tokugawa Ieyasu, who was shrinking in Hamamatsu Castle, had only 8,000 men, and it was all his possessions.

Oda Nobunaga was held back by the surrounding wars and was exhausted, sending only 3,000 reinforcements. Moreover, Akiyama Nobutomo's sneak attack on Iwamura Castle was successful, and Nobunaga's hometown of Gifu Castle was exposed to the attack range of the Takeda Army, which could be described as a lifeline.

The time came to January 25, 1573 -

Takeda Shingen's art of war

This time, the takeda army's battle was once again breathtaking, and in the face of Tokugawa Ieyasu, who was cowering in Hamamatsu Castle, Takeda Shingen chose neither to attack nor besiege the city, and did not even issue a notice of persuasion.

Instead, they raised an army and bypassed Tokugawa Ieyasu's shrunken Hamamatsu Castle, aiming directly at Mikawa Kuni, the stronghold behind Tokugawa Ieyasu. This caused Tokugawa Ieyasu to write the word "Ignorant X" on his face:

· If the Takeda Army is not concerned, then the base camp behind the Mikawa Kingdom is almost equivalent to giving Takeda Shingen, and according to this momentum, if the Takeda army crosses the Mikawa Kingdom and enters the Owari Kingdom, the ally Oda Nobunaga will not be able to stop it;

· If you go out of the city to attack the Takeda Army, then it will become a field battle with 8,000 troops and a black pressure of Takeda's 30,000 troops, which is basically to hit the stone with a pebble, and the fierceness is more auspicious;

In the end, Tokugawa Ieyasu had to decide – go out of town to meet it! Tokugawa Ieyasu's plan was: after all of Takeda's army had passed through Hamamatsu Castle, he would attack with his entire army and surprise the back of the Takeda army, hoping to cause chaos on the other side and win a surprise victory!

The ideal is very plump, the reality is very bone, it can be described as Too young, too simple, take the clothes...

After learning the news of Tokugawa Ieyasu's attack, Takeda Shingen sent an order to the whole army, and the rear team changed to the front, turned around and assembled on the original platform of the three sides, and followed the trend to meet the enemy.

Therefore, the miracle that Tokugawa Ieyasu expected did not happen, and Takeda Shingen's famous "Red Army" completely defeated Tokugawa Ieyasu like a devastation, but thanks to the sacrifice of his subordinates, Tokugawa Ieyasu, who barely saved his life, fled back to Hamamatsu.

It was rumored that Tokugawa Ieyasu was so frightened that even the pee was pulled in the crotch of his pants, and when asked, he even defended himself: This is a miso that broke his pocket...

Portrait

Tokugawa Ieyasu, who escaped from the day, asked the painter to paint a portrait of the fallen, and hung it in his room to warn himself from time to time. But the legend of this portrait and the pulling of the trousers is merely a fabrication.

Oda Strucktō draws his hand to Panxiu

Oda Nobunaga-sensei - The only son of Masahide Hirage

Although Nobunaga's strength was already stretched, but still sent 3,000 reinforcements to Tokugawa Ieyasu, no matter what, Tokugawa Ieyasu when he heard the figure of 3,000 people, I believe that despair is greater than happy, after all, the Takeda army outside the city gate reached 30,000, plus his own seven pieces of 8,000 people, not even half of the other side, and the other side is also the most courageous Takeda family in Japan, is a strategic genius who is equal to the military god Uesugi Kenshin.

Tokugawa Ieyasu absentmindedly inspected the reinforcements, and after a scrawled greeting, he was distraught and ready to leave, and a loud rebuke came from the Oda formation:

Daimyo sengoku of Japan · The legend and end of Takeda Shingen

Flat hands pan show

"In any case, we were also sent by Oda Nobunaga to support you Mikawa samurai without even saying hello, is this how you face your companions who are about to fight with you?"

You really don't have to say anything more, I'm just here to carry out the lord's orders, and if you are still alive, say hello to my tablet in the future! ”

In the end, on the battlefield, Heishou Fanxiu led 1,000 men and horses, and none of them retreated and fought to the death, which also won the respect of all the Samurai of Mikawa. But the drawers were gone. Encouraged, the Mikawa samurai were desperate to kill their enemies, and when the Takeda family counted the battlefields after the battle, Takeda Shingen said:

"The bodies of the Samurai Mikawa are all facing us, and the bodies of the Takeda Army are all facing Hamamatsu with their backs to Hamamatsu."

In other words, although Tokugawa Ieyasu was defeated, no one was killed in the escape, and everyone who stayed behind struggled to the last moment.

-- However —

Oda Nobunaga's other two reinforcement generals, Hayashi Hidetsu and Sakuma Nobukatsu, felt that there was no chance of victory in the battle, and led his men and horses to withdraw from the battlefield without being wounded. Later, Oda Nobunaga announced in 1580 that he would not be exiled, and would never be hired, one of the crimes was "to see The Death of Pan Xiu".

The stars fell, and Takeda Shingen died

After Noda Castle, at the forefront of the Mikawa Kingdom, was captured by the Takeda Army, Tokugawa Ieyasu was forced to fight GG and concede defeat; Oda Nobunaga was also forced to the end of the road, and no longer had the strength to resist Takeda Shingen's army.

But no one expected that Noda Castle would be the last castle that Takeda Shingen had captured in his life.

Because, Takeda Shingen fell ill.

He was so sick that he could not even ride a war horse, but could only sit in a sedan car. The Takeda army had no choice but to begin to retreat.

On April 20, 1573, three months after the Battle of Mikatahara, Takeda Shingen died of illness in Komagomaya, Shinano Province, and the cause of death was tuberculosis (stomach cancer), in fact, before the army was raised, Takeda Shingen's health was very bad, and there were many symptoms of vomiting blood, so the time for the army to be sent was delayed.

It is not difficult to imagine the mood of Oda Nobunaga and Tokugawa Ieyasu at this moment:

Daimyo sengoku of Japan · The legend and end of Takeda Shingen

Takeda Shingen 临终乘乘为俨:

The heirs were Takeda Nobunaga (6 years old), the son of Takeda Katsurai and Oda Nobunaga's adopted daughter, and was temporarily replaced by his biological father Takeda Katsurai (there is a different theory) until he reached adulthood. After his death, his body was worn through armor and sunk into Lake Suwa, and he was not mourned for three years.

This news caused a huge shock to the Takeda family, especially Takeda Katsurai and another relative, Yayama Nobujun:

Genders are different, how can there be true love?

During the "one-night stand" between Takeda Shingen and another of the same sex Kiyou, Yachirō (waiter), he was caught in bed by Masanobu Takasaka, so the plot of this rotten girl is well known by a letter of guarantee from Takeda Shingen:

recognizance:

First, I used to seduce Yachiro, he always stood up and did not promise me, this is all true;

Second, it is not that I wantEd Michiro to come and sleep with me, never, day and night, but today this thing, I don't know how it happened;

Third, if you try to please you in other ways, you will definitely be more suspicious, then I will be in trouble;

If I have lied in this matter, let the gods of the great ming, the mountain gods, the bodhisattvas, and all kinds of gods punish me, according to the reason, this should be written on the paper of the treasure seal, but the person who manages the official paper is too troublesome, first write it on the white paper, tomorrow I will rewrite it.

After receiving the letter of guarantee, the handsome man Takasaka Masanobu replied: "Under the care of the lord, I grew up like a peony flower."

The First Warrior of the Warring States

Takeda Shingen was the creator of the most complete vassal pattern in the Warring States, and his own martial arts were known as the "Koshu Stream";

Daimyo sengoku of Japan · The legend and end of Takeda Shingen

Ishikawa Sadashi

After Tokugawa Ieyasu's retainer Ishikawa Shumasa defected to Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Tokugawa Ieyasu had to change the military system so that his military situation would not be discovered by the Toyotomi family, and his first choice was to change it to the "Koshu Stream" military system.

During the Tokugawa shogunate

Tokugawa Ieyasu was constantly being deified, and Takeda Shingen and Koshu Ryubu were among the few things that could be tolerated and elevated by the Tokugawa shogunate, and Shingen's evaluation was getting taller and taller than Toyotomi Hideyoshi's evaluation in the Tokugawa shogunate era, because raising it would only make Tokugawa Ieyasu's image more glorious and tall.

How strong is the Takeda Army?

Even after the Battle of Nagashino was completely defeated by the combined forces of Oda Nobunaga Tokugawa Ieyasu, there were still rumors in Oda Nobunaga's domain that "the Takeda family and the Uesugi family tied for the first place in the war", and even Oda Nobunaga once said:

"Neither Takeda Shingen nor Katsurai now can take it lightly!"
