Sanada Yukimura, known as the "first soldier of Japan", was the last tragic hero of the Warring States period

The Azuchi-Momoyama period in Japanese history was a period of warring states in which heroes and heroes rose and fell, and in the torrent of history dominated by the "Three Masters", the baton of the era was passed from Oda Nobunaga through Toyotomi Hideyoshi and finally handed over to Tokugawa Ieyasu. At the end of the Sengoku period led by Tokugawa Ieyasu, there was a hero who shone in this era, he was Sanada Yukimura, who was known as the "first soldier of Japan", and today I would let Uncle Tsukihan take you to see the life of this last "tragic hero" at the end of the Sengoku period.

Sanada Yukimura, whose original name was Sanada Nobuhiro, was the second son of Sanada Masayuki, the head of the Sanada family, and the legend of Sanada Yukimura also begins with his father Masayuki. Surviving in a chaotic world is not an easy task for a small lord like Sanada, and in order to preserve the territory of the Sanada family, Sanada Masayuki can be said to have gone to great lengths to constantly fight, ally, subordinate or betray powerful daimyo in the vicinity of the Hojo family, the Uesugi family, and the Tokugawa family. In 1586, the Sanada family finally found their true patron, and the nineteen-year-old Nobuhiro was taken hostage to Osaka Castle, and Taikaku Toyotomi Hideyoshi was also very serious about Nobuyoshi, granting Nobuyoshi the official position of five Uedamonmonsa, giving Toyotomi the surname and serving as a close attendant, and later Nobuhiro also married Otani Yoshiji's daughter Anchi.

However, the good times did not last long, and in 1598, Taikaku Toyotomi Hideyoshi died in Fushimi Castle in Kyoto, and the contradictions between the "civilian faction" led by Ishida Sansei and the "arbitrary faction" led by Masanori Fukushima were further made public. In 1600, When Japan was once again in turmoil, Ishida Mitsunari and Tokugawa Ieyasu rose up again for the position of lord of the world, and the battlefield was in Mino Sekigahara, not far from the Sanada family's domain. In this battle of life and death, all the daimyo of Japan are faced with a choice, and the Sanada family is no exception. In order to save the Sanada family, Sanada Masayuki and Sanada Yukimura joined the Western Army and the eldest son Nobuyuki joined the Eastern Army, a move that showed Sanada Masayuki's political skills to the fullest, so that either side could survive if it won the Sanada family.

After the Battle of Sekigahara, the defeated Sanada Masayuki and Nobuharu had to accept the punishment of the Tokugawa family, and the family was assigned to Mount Jiudu, and Sanada Masayuki was also depressed, but Sanada Yukimura lurked in secret and looked forward to another comeback. Sure enough, soon after, the Toyotomi family gathered Sanada Yukimura again and asked him to go out of the mountain to Osaka Castle to resist Tokugawa Ieyasu's attack.

Yukimura was appointed military commander after being popular in Osaka, during which time Yukimura repeatedly expressed his strategy and views at high-level military meetings, and even led the construction of a castle named "Sanada Maru" in the south of Osaka Castle. Throughout the Osaka Campaign, Sanada Yukimura repeatedly thwarted the Tokugawa army's attacks with the help of Sanada Maru, forcing its strategy to shift from siege to siege tactics, and finally signed a temporary contract a month after the confrontation between the two sides, and Sanada Yukimura also shocked the whole of Japan with his strategy of enticing the enemy.

The peace treaty was temporary, as Sanada Yukimura had expected, to be nothing more than a blind eye of Tokugawa Ieyasu, and in 1615 the Tokugawa and Toyotomi armies, one south and one north, were rounded up in the area of Okamaguchi, tennoji Temple, south of Osaka Castle, and the final armageddon of the Japanese Sengoku period was about to break out. Maori Katsunaga, who was also a Toyotomi army with Sanada Yukimura, highlighted the Ieyasu Honjin, repeatedly attacking the enemy positions several times his own, killing seven in and seven out. However, due to Ieyasu's order to put down the flag when he fled, the Toyotomi army was unable to find his position. As time went on, the casualties of the Sanada army became larger and larger, and Yukimura was seriously wounded and eventually beheaded by the enemy generals, so Sanada Yukimura became the last tragic hero of the Sengoku while achieving his "first soldier of Japan".

Sanada Yukimura's life glory and tragedy coexist, and his image of bravery and perseverance is reflected in many film and television works and game works, such as the Okawa drama "Sanada Maru", which gives different degrees of interpretation to different periods. Not only that, but the slg game Kyushu Robbery also has a unique portrayal of Sanada Yukimura.

In the game, Sanada Yukimura can form a "red" combination with Naomasa I, which can increase the physical damage of his own military generals in the game, the so-called "Akabe" refers to the red armor, in the Warring States, Sanada Yukimura will wear a pair of red armor every time he fights, and Ii Naomasa directly leads an elite army wearing a red uniform. Similarly, Sanada Yukimura can also form a "Budo Takumi" combination with Guan Yu, Liao Hua, Uesugi Kenshin and others, which is also a manifestation of Sanada Yukimura Tadamitoshi on the side. In addition, sanada Yukimura can also get the "Qimen Dunjia" and "Sacrifice to Protect the Lord" skills after being decomposed, and it is worth mentioning that the "Sacrifice to Protect the Lord" skill has also become a necessary skill for generals such as Zhao Yun and Honda Tadatsu because of its excellent damage reduction and protective formation ability.

The historical Sanada Yukimura is famous for his loyalty and unparalleled military strength in Japan, but unfortunately, its era of glory is approaching the end of the Sengoku period, and if the situation in the Sengoku period at that time when he was born twenty years ago is very promising for him, do the lords want to conquer Kyushu with Sanada Yukimura in the world of the "Kyushu Raid"?
