The Battle of Sekigahara was the last battle to lay the foundation for the japanese Sengoku period, and the Toyotomi side and the "anti-thief" Tokugawa Ieyasu side did their best for this battle; but this battle was ended in only one day because of the participation of the "three gods", and the Toyotomi side was defeated, and the Tokugawa Ieyasu side suffered almost no losses.
After the war, it was natural to liquidate the defeated side, but what was doubtful was the way Tokugawa Ieyasu was dealt with, Tokugawa Ieyasu only beheaded three people, and most of the other people involved in the battle were only reduced fiefs, of which the toyotomi clan's general Maori Keimoto was also forgiven by Tokugawa Ieyasu, and the fief was reduced from 1.2 million stones to 370,000 stones.
Tokugawa Ieyasu's reduction of their fiefdom was reasonable, even if Tokugawa Ieyasu had promised a million stones to Date Masamune, the result was also tricked, at most from 570,000 stones to 620,000 stones; in fact, all this is also reasonable, Tokugawa Ieyasu did not dare to execute the defeated side on a large scale, if nothing else, the Maori side alone, it is not to be easily offended by Tokugawa Ieyasu.
Tokugawa Ieyasu was able to easily win the Battle of Sekigahara had a lot to do with the passive sluggishness of the toyotomi clan, and if we really wanted to talk about strength, Tokugawa Ieyasu really might not be able to beat them. Therefore, Tokugawa Ieyasu adopted the method of "boiling frogs in warm water", just weakening them step by step, and how to deal with them in the future depends on their performance.
But there were three people that Tokugawa Ieyasu had to kill; the first was Ishida Misei and Governor Konishi, because these two were staunch supporters of the Toyotomi clan, and these two were the real initiators of the Sekigahara War. Ishida Misei was grateful for Toyotomi Hideyoshi's kindness and was loyal to the Toyotomi clan all his life, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi also regarded Ishida Sansei as a true confidant, and later became the chief patriarch of the "Five Bongxing".
Governor Konishi was originally a vassal of the Utahiki clan, but there seems to be an inexplicable affinity between Himai and Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and he gradually leaned towards Toyotomi Hideyoshi and eventually to Toyotomi Hideyoshi. Toyotomi Hideyoshi also had a lot of trust and respect for Governor Konishi, who served as a vanguard general in both campaigns to invade Korea.
Moreover, Ishida Mitsunari and Governor Konishi had a very good relationship, and after the death of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the two knew that there would be chaos in the world, and the root cause of the chaos was Tokugawa Ieyasu, who was second only to Toyotomi's in strength. Therefore, the two formed an alliance against Tokugawa Ieyasu, but although the two men had high status, their strength was very ordinary, so it was natural to draw allies together to form a coalition.
The first ally they thought of was Maori Huiyuan, because at that time, the Maori clan had a territory of 1.2 million stones, and the Maori clan was full of talents and soldiers; and in addition to the strength they had, the Akira Hayakawa clan governor Kohayakawa Hideaki and the Yoshikawa clan governor Yoshikawa Hiromoto were relatives. However, the relationship between the Maori clan and the Toyotomi clan was already very general, but they were closer to Tokugawa Ieyasu.
So how to win over Maori Huiyuan made Ishida Sansei and Governor Konishi a headache, after many investigations, they found Maori Huiyuan's confidant Ankokuji Huiqiong, this Ankokuji Huiqiong was originally Takeda Bingbu Daisuke Mitsuhiro, after Hikari was killed by Tao Qingxian and Maori yuan, he joined the Ankokuji Temple to become a monk, and changed his name to Huiqiong, and because the master and the Maori clan were very close, so Ankokuji Huiqiong later became a diplomatic monk of the Maori clan.
His diplomatic skills were very skilled, so he was trusted and valued by Maori Huiyuan, but before the Sekigahara War, this Anguoji Huiqiong did not know whether it was out of revenge or the psychology of missing Toyotomi Hideyoshi's kindness, or was attracted by the promised interests of Ishida Sansei and others, in short, he painstakingly advised Maori Huiyuan, and eventually made Maori Huiyuan change his mind and become the chief general of the Toyotomi clan.
However, although Maori Huiyuan was moved for a while, it did not mean that Maori Huiyuan was stupid, and the various actions of the Toyotomi clan coalition army made Maori Huiyuan regret it, knowing that he had been pit by the "bald donkey" of Anguoji Huiqiong, so he had been passive and sluggish on the battlefield, and thus got the glorious title of "House God", and his righteous son Kohayakawa Hideaki did not know whether he was also instructed by him.
Therefore, Tokugawa Ieyasu, the two culprits of Ishida Sansei and Governor Konishi, are definitely going to be killed; and the death of Ankokuji Keijo is likely to be a strong request of Maori Keimoto, and of course it may also be because Tokugawa Ieyasu is angry at Ankokuji Keijun and pushed his powerful ally to the side of the opponent. I don't know whether it was honor or sadness, but Ankokuji Huiqiong, who had no identity and status, was eventually able to be beheaded along with the famous Ishida Sansei and Governor Konishi, which is also a famous history.
