Date of birth: 1540-1591.
Official position: Great Nayan.
Major Achievements: The world's first mediator, he helped Toyotomi Hideyoshi handle all internal affairs and chores, and became the daimyō of 1.1 million stones.
The hero behind the success of the construction of the castle has the credit of Hidenaga, and at first Hideyoshi asks for the assistance of Bee-Suga Koroku Masakatsu. Xiao Liu refused to agree at first, but was later touched by the simple and benevolent Xiu Chang, and finally joined hands with MoMata to build the castle and finally succeeded. In the famous "Kanazaki Retreat", Hidenaga led Theraku Bee-suga and Maeno shogun Right Guard Gate as the main force to protect hideyoshi and Oda Nobunaga's retreat.
In 1573, After eliminating Echizen's Asakura Yoshikei, Nobunaga began an attack on Otari Castle. Hidenaga was the first to attack Oni Castle for the vanguard, after which Takenaka Hanbei entered the army and ordered Hidenaga and Koroku Beesuka as emissaries to rescue Oda Nobunaga's sister and her three daughters. Asai Nagamasa was eventually defeated. In 1576, Hidenaga and Takenaka Hanbei led an army of more than 1,800 men to hold Mount Azuchi. In 1578, Banma Miki Castle, Chief Ofeji, united with the Maori clan to rebel. After Hidenaga received orders from Nobunaga to attack the Besho clan, Hidenaga's army went out to meet the enemy and repel the enemy and take the rule of the other chief. In 1579, Hidenaga traveled to Tanba to support Mitsuhide and attacked Tanba. In 1581 Hideyoshi again attacked Tottori Castle Yoshikawa, and Tottori Castle was besieged, with Hidenaga as the commander-in-chief of the right wing. On October 24, three months after a three-month siege, Yoshikawa cut his abdomen and Tottori Castle Kaeshiro surrendered.
After the Honnoji Rebellion in 1582, Toyotomi Hideyoshi confronted Mitsuhide Ofeshi Shimotoraba. Xiu Chang commanded more than 6,000 right wing troops and deployed at the Tenjin Horse Farm. The battle was fierce, and in the end Hideyoshi won, and Mitsuhide was killed by the villagers on his way to escape. In 1583, Hideyoshi opposed Kazuyoshi Takikawa and Katsuya Echishibata after the Battle of Yamazaki. Hidenaga became lord of Himeji Castle after the war. In 1585, Hideyoshi appointed Hidenaga as a general in the Shikoku Expeditionary Force, and recruited Nagamasa's genjutsu. The Hideyoshi army, which had invaded Shikoku, marched all the way, and eventually Nagamasa Ibu sent three male relatives to Hideyoshi as hostages. Motokin received tosa a country. After the pacification of Shikoku, Hidenaga became the lord of Gunzan Castle, and his total territory reached a staggering one million stones. In 1587, Hideo was promoted to Dainayan. However, at this time, he became the most important pillar of the Toyotomi regime, and his life came to an end. In 1591, Toyotomi Hidenaga died in Yamanjo Castle, Yamato-gun, at the age of fifty-two. It can be said that Hidecho has been fighting for Toyotomi Hideyoshi all his life, and he is also the shadow behind Hideyoshi, and his death is also a devastating blow to the Toyotomi family.
Character evaluation: Hidenaga has always maintained a comfortable and gentle personality to serve Hideyoshi. Hidenaga occupied a very important position in the Toyotomi regime, and Hideyoshi relied on and trusted Hidenaga in both official and private affairs. If Hidenaga hadn't died, maybe Chiritsu and Hideji might not have died, because Hideyoshi would have taken care of Hidenaga's feelings and were brothers who experienced life and death together. Hidenaga's contribution to the Toyotomi family is indispensable and he is the real hero behind it.
