During the Three Kingdoms period of China, many military strategists were active, such as Zhuge Liang of Shu Han, Zhou Gongjin of Eastern Wu, Sima Yi of Cao Wei, Guo Jia and so on. These strategists relied on their ingenuity and strategy to attack the city for their lords. Also in the Warring States period of the Eastern Ying Dynasty, there was such a group of people, who could also be called military masters to open up territory for their own lords. Many of them have also been passed down to future generations because of their fame. For example, Takeda Shingen's military master, Kansuke Yamamoto, single-handedly planned the famous woodpecker formation. In addition, there is a pair of military divisions that can be called military divisions, both of which are military divisions that assist Hideyoshi Haba. Who are they? Let's take a look at whether their deeds can be compared with those of China's military divisions.
The first person is Shigeharu Takenaka, also known as Takenaka Hanbei, who is known as the Japanese Kong Ming. It is said to be addressed by the name of the official he holds. In order to facilitate the following are all called by his later name to avoid everyone from being tired of switching back and forth.
Takenaka Hanbei was established in 1544, and his hometown was within the territory of Mino Province. And Wise Mitsuhide is a fellow countryman. His family himself is also a small city lord. His father, Shigemoto Takenaka, served the Saito family.
His family was also a tributary of the Toki clan. Hanbei's grandfather, Shigeshige Takenaka, was also a well-known figure who built Iwate Castle in Mino Province (present-day Iwate Prefecture, Japan) and later built a castle on nearby Bodhi Mountain. After the Toki clan was expelled by Saito Michizo,
The Takekaka Shige clan assisted the Saito clan. In the second generation of Takenaka Shigemoto, there was infighting among the Saito clan. Father and son turned against each other, and Saito Michizo was killed by his son Saito Yoshiryū. His men stood in line or watched. At this time, Takenaka Shigemoto took advantage of this opportunity to take action and captured a city called Qiyuan Castle as the lord of The City of Takenaka Hanbei, who had read the military books since childhood, and learned a good sword technique. From this point of view, he is more like Zhou Gongjin of Eastern Wu. The elegant temperament is very attractive. After his father's death, he took over his father as the governor of the house without suspense. His father-in-law was Anten Shousei, one of the three guardians of the Mino Saito family. The Saito family had an unstable foundation because it climbed from the bottom.
Although there is the rise of the old man Saito Michizo, the last two generations are ambitious and talented. Courageous infighting and timid in external warfare, Saito Yoshiryu was injured by several attacks with Oda Nobunaga. Died early. His son Saito Ryuko, a descendant of Theo Ryūkyō, succeeded him as governor of the house. Without his father's discipline, he began to enjoy it unscrupulously. The problem was the impending danger that he was unaware of. If his father still made his enemy, his uncle Nobunaga, a little jealous, he was a little fart in his uncle's eyes, and he was still not an opponent. At this time, Long Xing was not vigilant at all, singing and dancing night and night. As the guardian of his family, Itteng could not read the advice of the book, and like some young monarchs in China, Saito Ryuheung did not care about the advice of his elders.
Ando also kept advising, Long Xing thought to himself, "Why are you old guy so ignorant of lifting, the governor of this family is willing to play and play you do your own thing is more than what mouth" So he locked up the old family minister. After stabbing the honeycomb, Ando's family ran out to report to his son-in-law, The Bodhi City Lord, Takeaka Hanbei. The half-guard was very upset and angry, so he decided to petition to rescue his father-in-law. Running to Long Xing, he said something bitterly,
Unexpectedly, the master Long Xing did not take it seriously, not only did not let people throw out the half-guard. The half-guard couldn't stand it anymore. So he planned to use other methods to rescue his father-in-law, at this time it may be that Ryuheung was angry and let Ando Shou go back. But the half-guard plan was already on the arrow. His father-in-law was rescued, making him more at ease carrying out his plan. Together with his father-in-law, he decided to take the city of Longxing. On the pretext that his brother in Inabayama Castle (the main city of Longxing) was ill, he successively transported weapons and horses to the city.
Grand Young Master Long Xing was busy with his own party and didn't have time to take care of him. This gives him a good opportunity. After being fully armed, let people fire in the city as a signal, and pretend that the army is coming. The opportunity to combine with the outside world killed the defending general and took Inabayama Castle. The city lord Long Xing knew that the general trend had gone to pick up his tail and turn into a woman and run. Ando Mori also brought troops to help his son-in-law take control of Inabayama Castle. After the two sons-in-law took control of Inabayama Castle, the news reached Oda Nobunaga in Owari Kingdom, Oda Nobunaga had already coveted Inabayama Castle and learned of Takenaka's reputation as a half-guard, so he sent someone to persuade the half-guard to join his camp. However, Han Bingwei disagreed, and his own idea was to carry out military advice like Zhang Xueliang to admonish the lord but did not intend to rebel. Therefore, he refused the olive branch extended by Oda Nobunaga, who was not inconvenient to immediately raise troops and retreat because of the situation in the country.
The half-guards knew that Nobunaga would not compromise, fearing that he would not be able to refuse next time. Plus his own original intentions. He sent someone to find his master Long Xing to let him come back and take over the city. Long Xing really couldn't believe that happiness had come so suddenly, so he followed the messenger back to Inabayama Castle. The half-guards were not foolish, and he knew what the lord's heart was thinking, so he immediately withdrew his troops and returned to Bodhi Mountain Castle and went into seclusion, and later temporarily hired with Asai Nagamasa. However, he did not give Asai any strategy, but remained reclusive as an honorary advisor. These practices attracted the attention of one person, that is, the attention of Oda Nobunaga's cronies who later became Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who at this time was only called Kinoshita Fujiyoshiro, who knew the importance of talent and felt that this person was strange to take the castle but gave up the castle. So he sent people several times to inquire about the news of Takenaka's half-guard, and after visiting his residence, like Liu Bei, Sangu Maolu invited Takenaka to join his camp. Takenaka Hanbei was grateful for his sincerity and felt that he was out of his mind, but he had served the Saito family after all. It was not good to join immediately and gave Fujiyoshiro a deadline. You take down the Saito family and then join. Fujiyoshiro was very excited to go back to report to Nobunaga, and Nobunaga was also very happy, and asked the general Niwa Nagahide to surrender. The three of them gave up Adou Longxing, who could not be helped. He defected to Nobunaga, where Inabayama Castle fell within half a year. Long Xing was also dead, and before he died, he must have remembered the two servants of Thean Ten of Takenaka that he had failed. It's a pity why did you know that in the first place?
At this time, The Takeaka Hanbei also officially joined the Oda family, nominally serving Oda Nobunaga, but in fact, it was Hashiba Hideyoshi, who had changed his name. Takenaka gave up his status as a city lord and became a military master. There was a lot of psychological struggle. He must have known that his weakness was not suitable for being the lord of the chaotic world. More suitable for planning military divisions. He is not wise that is not wise for himself. After takingaka joined, he caught up with the struggle to conquer Asai Nagamasa, and he successively served as a logistics officer to supervise the transportation of grain and grass, which provided a strong guarantee for the march of the army. He then repeatedly offered strategies to break the enemy, and after the retreat of Kanasaki, he was ordered to defend the castle with Hideyoshi to block the attack of his former boss Asai. Because he knew Asai's weakness and had read the book of soldiers. So I had to be good at strategy, and eventually I took down the Asai clan. After that, Takenaka's half-guard commanded several times and won the victory. He was given the title of Bing Guard. Like another military, Kuroda Officers and Soldiers, they became toyotomi and became the Toyotomi Guards. He said that the surrender of the enemy general, the siege of the city to help, the rescue of colleagues to establish a series of credits.
It is a pity that God is jealous of talents and is at a time when the career is smooth sailing. Takenaka Hanbei was merged into the anointed by the old wounds of the battlefield, and before his death, he recommended another military Kuroda officer and soldier guard that Hideyoshi had always been wary of. Persuading Hideyoshi to reuse him, he refused the opportunity to go to the hot spring for medical treatment. Thinking that dying on the battlefield was the best outcome a samurai should have. He died at the age of 36. His life was full of ups and downs, although he was known as Kong Ming, but I think his experience was more like Zhou Gongjin of Eastern Wu, especially imagining that Zhou Yu also recommended Lu Su, who disagreed with Sun Quan before his death. History is such a trickery, with untalented mediocre people such as Liu Chan of the Shu Han Dynasty living to be 69 years old, while the talented Zhou Gongjin, Guo Fengxiao, and Takeaka Hanbing all died young.
The partner who works with Takenaka Hanbei ---- Kuroda Officers and Soldiers Is a different look. Kuroda officers and soldiers, whose real name is Kuroda Takataka, are also known as Rushui born in 1546. He is the same age as Takenaka Hanbei, who is two years younger but has twice as long as Hanbei. His life was also interesting, and his father was also a city lord. He was the lord of Himeji Castle, and his father opened two teahouses in the city for the merchant samurai to stop and chat, and It was here that Takataka listened to others discuss the situation and interesting anecdotes to increase his horizons. This also has a great impression on his later career, and Takao has also read a lot of books since he was a child. There was a monk from a nearby monastery who tutored him.
Later, when Kuroda Takataka grew up, he became a vassal of Kodera, who was a small power in the warring states, but his position was surrounded by large families such as Maori and Oda, and there were other ambitious and powerful threats next to him. Ru Shui found such a master is really not a good job, but Ru Shui is not the same thing, he relied on his own ability, with the help of his father and brothers to defeat the enemy Akamatsu family who wanted to invade the lord, stabilized the heart of the lord, and was named the second seat of the family (the most important of the Japanese courtiers). However, the threat of the Kodera family remained unresolved, and under Nobunaga's repeated threats, Kodera Masanobu did not know whether to side with the Maori side or the Oda side, and sent the young and promising family elder Kuroda Takataka to inquire about the news and negotiate terms with the two families. Give him the right to act cheaply. After Kuroda Takashi approached the two families, he made a comparison and felt that the power and future of the Oda side were more in line with the surrender of the lord, so he went back to persuade the lord to join Nobunaga's side. Maori was furious and decided to go on a crusade against the castles of koji and Kuroda. Takao personally led people to use the method of disrupting the formation to scare off Maori. Nobunaga was satisfied with this and sent someone to send a commendation order to Takato, and he also sent Hashiba Hideyoshi to attack the Maori clan. At this time, Takashi met his future master, Hideyoshi Haba, who had only been in contact before, and after officially meeting the two, they saw each other as before.
He was recruited by Hideyoshi as a counselor and worked with his former half-guards as Hideyoshi's assistant. However, Takashige's experience is also very tortuous, he once went to persuade Nobunaga's subordinate Araki Murashige to surrender but was imprisoned by Murashige, the most pitiful thing is that his whereabouts are unknown but arouses the suspicion of the suspicious Oda Nobunaga, and decides to hand over his hostage son Kuroda Nagamasa who he put in Nobunaga to Hanbei to kill.
He believes that Kuroda Takashi will surrender to Araki without returning, but Hanbei knows that his partner will not do this, but he cannot disobey the order and cover for the son of his old friend. Later, before he died, he confessed the truth to Hideyoshi, and Kuroda's officer Wei Rushui was very touched to know. Later, Araki was killed, and after Kuroda was released, he could no longer walk. Later, I was slowly cured.
Kuroda Takashi repeatedly offered advice in order to repay his partner's great favor and Hideyoshi's kindness.
The flooding of Takamatsu Castle, the Great Return of China, the repulsion of Wise Guangxiu, and so on were all out of his strategy. He has done a lot of credit for Toyotomi Hideyoshi's country. However, he was also jealous of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and if it were not for his talents and the assurances of the half-guards before his death, Takato's fate would be difficult to say. Later, he participated in the Kyushu Expedition and the siege of Hojo Castle. But even the best relationships are prone to problems. After Hideyoshi's southern expedition to the north to unify Japan, Hideyoshi began to make decisions to invade Korea. But Kuroda Takashi knew the absurdity of this matter and repeatedly persuaded Hideyoshi. What kind of person Hideyoshi is, he is a very ambitious and arrogant person. The things he decides will never allow others to interfere.
In order to test Kuroda's loyalty, he assigned Kuroda Rusui and his son Kuroda Nagamasa, who had almost died, to be responsible for the wartime in Korea, Kuroda was forced to appoint the battlefield to be passive and sluggish, and the repeated defeats of the Japanese invading army in the Korean battlefield could not be blamed on Kuroda Takao, because with the Ming Dynasty's troops, Toyotomi's Japanese army could not gain the upper hand, but this crime was held on Kuroda Takao, who returned from the battlefield and decided to become a monk, with the name of Water. Toyotomi saw that Kuroda Rumizu had put Kuroda Rumizu on his past merits, and he had already separated from Hideyoshi at this time, and after Hideyoshi's death, the Kuroda family decided to take two steps, one was to let his son Kuroda Nagamasa be the governor of the house to rely on Tokugawa Ieyasu, and the other was kuroda Rumizu himself to divide the claims. He also wanted to stabilize Japan, but with Tokugawa Ieyasu's victory at the Sekigahara Battlefield and the complete downfall of the Toyotomi family in Osaka Castle, Kuroda, knowing that his abilities were not enough to compete, officially went into hiding, and later died at the age of 59. Kuroda officers and soldiers had a relatively bumpy life, attacking the city and seizing land around fengyuan in their youth, and repeatedly suffered twists and turns in middle age, and they were imprisoned. Suspicion in old age. But after all, he still survived these difficulties, and the final death can be regarded as a happy ending.
