Who the hell is Sanada Yukimura?

Whenever Sakura Murata Sakuramura mentioned 16 15, the great war that ended the troubled times of the Warring States in Osaka, Japan, he would definitely mention this name. The second son of this trusted local tyrant did not have a prominent surname, nor did he make meritorious military service for any famous names in his first half of his life, only because he fought under Osaka Castle and suddenly became famous in the evening of troubled times. Although the name of his general star only shone briefly for more than a hundred years in the troubled times of the Warring States period in Japan, it left an indelible mark on everyone's heart forever because of the brilliance of that moment.

In the 10th year of Lu Yong (1567), the second son of Changxing, Zhenfan Makita (Xingcun), was born in Jiafu and later renamed Genjiro. At that time, it was almost the most powerful era of Takeda's family. Because Changxing respected Takeda's family very much, he was also named after Jiro Fu Yuan. Takeda's younger brother, both wise and brave, has been assisting his older brother Xin Xuan as the second lieutenant, but he died in the Battle of Chuanzhong Island in Lu Yong (156 1) (it is said that his death killed some people).

After Takeda Shingen's death, Takeda family began to decline from prosperity. On March 3rd (1582), ten years ago, Oda Shintai gave the order to help people encircle Takeda. Sanada Masayuki not only wrote to ask for refuge in victory, but also sent a family of 70 people, old and young, to Jiafu as hostages, and personally built a mansion in Pancheng for victory. At the same time, Shintaro Yamada also wrote to invite victory to stay in the rock for the time being. It is said that Sheng Lai was in a dilemma at that time, and the recent minister Nagano casually said: "Tian Zhen is only the three generations of internal ministers since Dezhai, and his credibility is far less than that of Koyamada, an important minister in the genealogy." Sheng Lai listened to the declining elder brother's words (which really makes people smile), instead of burning down the new mansion in the main city on March 3 and leading hundreds of soldiers to Yandian Mountain City. On the morning of 6th, the angel of Koyamada stole Koyamada's mother and won. Mrs. Kitajima, 4 1 samurai, 50 women committed suicide in Tianmu Mountain, and the Takeda family died (the above dd is in my wz, which is equivalent to repeating another note). Chang Xing, who heard the news, lamented that three days later, I left my home in Beitiao and started Chang Xing's course of "duplicity" (it should be said that it was helpless). It is said that Sanada Masayuki changed his master within half a year after Takeda's death, which fully showed his fierce demeanor (no wonder that card in tk ...). At this time, Xin Fan was fifteen years old and was about to start his hostage journey.

In his youth, there were many beliefs, because during this period, in order to keep the real family's territory, Sanada Masayuki tried his best to constantly fight, ally, subordinate or rebel with powerful names around the Kitajima family, the Shangxu family and the Tokugawa family. In the 13th year of Tianzheng (1585), Changxing built a city in Shangtian. In order to cope with the attack of the Tokugawa army, the true family must have a family of Shangsu. In order to show loyalty, Chang Xing decided to let eighteen-year-old Xinfan go to Shangshan's house as a hostage, saying that he was a servant and Xinfan had lived in Haijincheng since then, so he should not take part in Ueda's defense this year. The young Shinfan won the love of Uesugi Kagekatsu, was granted the treatment of knowing and doing as one, and received a reward of one thousand dollars (it is said that he was a part of the old leader who represented Zheng Xiu's former Shangshan Rebel Family).

After the defense of Kawakamida, Xinfan was recalled from Ueda's home, because Changxing found a higher backer. In the 14th year of Tianzheng (1586), 19-year-old Xin Fan was taken hostage to Osaka Castle (it is said that Hideyoshi was recruited to be an official, but he should still be a hostage, because the overall situation of Kanto was undecided at that time and Tojo was still in full swing, which was of course very important in Xintian). Take a look at his little surname and adopter), grant the official position of Xin Fan Wu Zuo Wei Menzuo, and give Feng Chen's surname as a valet. Later, Xin Fan married tk Wuli, the daughter of Gu Jihe (the one with white cloth on her head, I will definitely write about him later). At this time, the Tokugawa family has surrendered to Toyotomi's family, and marriage is the bond between big brands. Shen. Married Komatsu, the daughter of one of the four kings of Tokugawa (adopted by Kang Jia as an adopted daughter and became a good pp in tk5), and later generations thought that it was also because of marriage that the fate of the two brothers and sisters was caused.

Due to the ownership of Numata City and the provocation of Chang Xing's tricks ("the famous walnut city incident"), on November 24th, the seventeenth year (1589), Toyotomi Hideyoshi began to "conquer Odahara"-crusade against the northern strip, and at the same time issued a general mobilization order to famous people from all over the country. 1On October 20th, Maeda Toshiie, who was before Vietnam, set out from Kanazawa and came to Xindeng to join the Vietnamese army that first arrived in Uesugi Kagekatsu. Later, it was supported by Sanada Masayuki and Guo Kang Songping. This unit, called the Hokuriku detachment, consists of 1 10,000 Shangshan troops, nearly 20,000 Qiantian troops, 3,000 Zhentian troops and 4,000 Songping troops. At this time, Xin Fan, who was 22 years old when he was in the real army, also joined the army to participate in the war. This is also the new first battle (not the legendary Tokugawa Battle) clearly recorded in the existing historical materials, as well as the Sanada Masayuki team. When he came to Yaobing Cave, because the movement and expansion of the army on the tunnel were greatly restricted, Zheng Fan, the chief road officer of Song Tian City, sent 800 northern soldiers to block the Hokuriku detachment on the main road of Yaobing Cave. In the encounter with Dawuji, Xinfan also broke into the enemy, showing some, which is also the initial array of Xinfan clearly recorded in historical materials.

To tell the truth, it should not be easy to be a hostage, and it is not easy to feel "dependent on others" (I have feelings). Fortunately, Xinfan is very talented and may be better. Therefore, it should be conceivable that Shinoda learned patience during that time, which should also make him not despair of life in the confinement life of Jiudushan for more than ten years, so he has never recovered, but has been working hard to learn the art of war. In fact, there are many such examples, such as: Tokugawa Ieyasu (forgive me ...), who is a hostage of the Imakawa family and Imagawa Yoshimoto's son-in-law (adopted son-in-law! ! ) and won a dollar's love, but he still practiced the kung fu of "the first ninja in the Warring States". Generally speaking, Xin Fan didn't show much in the first half of his life. It is not commendable that a samurai born in troubled times took part in the joint war. His real connection with the war began with Ueda Battle, which was a sub-battlefield of Kanhara. Before that, his reputation mainly depended on the honor left by his ancestors, and people should call him.

In the summer of evergreen three years (1598), the great and legendary Toyotomi Hideyoshi was finally vulnerable. Sick in bed, he asked Wu to exchange written statements with five elders and hug his youngest son. On August 18th of that year, Taige Toyotomi Hideyoshi died in Fujian City, Kyoto, at the age of 63. The "literati school" headed by Ishida Mitsunari and the dogmatic school headed by Fukushima masanari are two factions within the Fengchen family. 1599, as soon as the news of Maeda Toshiie's death came out, seven people, such as Katou Kiyomasa and Fukushima masanari, who were arbitrary, attacked Ishida Mitsunari, and Ishida Mitsunari was forced to resign as a five-monk and return to Zuohe Mountain City by the river to live in seclusion. Since then, Tokugawa Ieyasu's power has risen and started to suppress former Tian Long Taihe and Uesugi Kagekatsu (30% of them were selected in the game). Uesugi Kagekatsu courtier Naoe Kanetsugu wrote a letter to Tokugawa Ieyasu, refuting all the accusations one by one. This letter is the world-famous Straight River. Wily Tokugawa Ieyasu was deliberately angered by "Zhihe" and decided to conquer Uesugi Kagekatsu. In fact, he is waiting for Ishida Mitsunari to send troops.

1600, the Japanese army was in turmoil again, and Ishida Mitsunari and Tokugawa Ieyasu once again competed for the position of the master of the world. The battlefield was in Meinung official park, not far from the real family territory.

In this life-and-death struggle, all the famous Japanese players are faced with choices, and Makita is no exception. Do you want to join the East Army (Tokugawa) or the West Army (Ishida)? There was a split within the real family-Sanada Masayuki and his son Xingcun joined the Xiliang Army, while the eldest son of Changxing, Yan Yan, simply joined the Dongliang Army because she was the son-in-law of Tokugawa etiquette Benduo Zhongsheng, and even changed her name to Yan Yan, as a sign of disowning her father. Of course, some people think that this result is the embodiment of true Tian Chang's political skills, because in this way, no matter whether the East Army or the West Army wins, true Tian Jia will be preserved.

1000 On September 5th, 600, 38,000 troops led by Hideyoshi Tokugawa were trapped in Zhongshan Road with only about1000 troops, which failed to reach the main battlefield of Guanyuan in time. As a result, Guan Yuan's Tokugawa Ieyasu fell into an absolute disadvantage in terms of troops. But the world trend is irreversible. Due to Ishida Mitsunari's betrayal, the western army finally failed.

After the war, the defeated Sanada Masayuki and Xingcun were punished by the Tokugawa family. It turned out that I wanted to kill Makita and his son to vent my anger in the humiliating show of Xinnongshan. However, due to Sanada Nobuyuki's intercession, he finally decided to confiscate Makita's territory, and took Makita and his son to Gao Yanei, Jizhou, and later put them under house arrest in Kyushu Mountain.

Life in Jiudushan is bitter and painful. Although Sanada Nobuyuki, the minister of Tokugawa family, often sends people to send clothes, food and other things, the life of Makita and his son is still so difficult that it is sometimes difficult to maintain and they have to borrow money to live. This is an unacceptable reality for the once famous Lord Sanada Masayuki.

During the period of house arrest, Makita and his son still often discussed the strategy of the art of war and the general trend of the world, hoping to make a comeback one day and make a name for themselves at home, but over time, the Tokugawa family had no intention of forgiving them. 16 1 1 On June 4th, Sanada Masayuki died in such a difficult life and waiting for disappointment. At this time, Sanada Yukimura's heart was full of resentment against the Tokugawa family:

"One day, he will lead two generations of generals to promote Tian Zhen's name in the world ...! "

Between such resentment and dreams, Sanada Yukimura's youth slipped away quietly, and the hard life made him grow up early and grow old day by day. ...

16 14 One day in the Mid-Autumn Festival, the emissary of Osaka Castle came to Jiudu Mountain, bringing the will of the Toyotomi family-inviting Sanada Yukimura to come out of the mountain to fight for the Toyotomi family's offensive against Tokugawa Ieyasu.

The news ignited the fire in Xingcun's heart. In order to prove his talent and take revenge on the Tokugawa family, Xingcun accepted the invitation of the Toyotomi family. One day in early October of that year/KLOC-0, Xingcun called villagers to hold a banquet. When everyone was drunk, Xingcun, accompanied by his eldest son, Jing Daole Makita (65,438+03 years old), fled from Jiudu Mountain with several retainers.

1665438+20041At the beginning of October, Xing Cun and his party appeared in Osaka Castle. Because of his father's reputation, Xue Cun was very popular in Osaka. He was soon appointed as the commander of the army and attended high-level military meetings frequently as a strategist. Xing Cun, who thinks he can give full play to his talents, is also full of lofty sentiments and radiant, trying his best to explain tactics and strategies. However, many of his ideas of going out of the city to fight in other places were too risky and did not conform to the opinions of Osaka's top management, so they were not fully adopted. The defensive castle "Makita Maru" built in the south of Nansan Maru in Osaka is one of the more successful strategies of Xingcun.

Osaka Castle is surrounded by Seto Inland Sea to the west, Tianmanchuan and Dianchuan to the north, and a tributary of Dahechuan to the east. The complex terrain provides a certain defense. In contrast, most of southern Osaka is wide and flat, and its defense is weak. Two strategists in Osaka City, Sanada Yukimura and Goto Keiji, noticed this at the same time, and successively proposed to the Toyotomi family leadership to build a city outside Osaka (referring to a small town built outside the city wall, which can be used as a fortification). Both their proposals were adopted, but on the question of who would be in charge of the construction and garrison, the two heroes volunteered to give up their positions, so that there was a fierce dispute for a period of time.

As the two men were at loggerheads, strange rumors suddenly appeared in Osaka:

"The reason why Xingcun Temple defends outside Nancheng is to facilitate contact with its brother Xin and introduce the Tokugawa Army into the city ..."

Then Fujikiji, after hearing this rumor, immediately said seriously:

"The rumor that Xingcun Temple is stationed outside the city in order to better challenge the enemy is simply crazy!"

Subsequently, Guisi took the initiative to cancel the work of building the city, and handed over this task to Sanada Yukimura, expressing his firm support for Xingcun with his own actions.

Finally, the building left the city and was completed in front of Noguchi, Nanping, Osaka, and southeast of Bishou under the auspices of Xingcun. This building, named "Makita Maru", is a fan-shaped mound, with trenches dug on three sides and double fences. There are watchtowers and pavilions in the city, and six holes are opened every 1.8 meters. It is a solid fortification. The construction of Makita Maru not only made up for the relatively weak defense forces in southern Osaka, but also created convenient conditions for Osaka troops to quickly occupy the Shinohara Highlands in southern Osaka when they went out of the city to fight.

During the construction of Makita Maru, the rumors about the cooperation between Xingcun and Tokugawa have not been completely eliminated. To this end, Osaka army commander-in-chief Xiao Ye Shuzhizhu governor specially to goto kiji, nervous asked:

"Tell me, is Xingye Ancun from the Tokugawa shogunate?"

Goto Keiji heard this in distress situation and immediately said:

"Zuo Dianshan is a hero in troubled times. He fought on the battlefield for his glorious military reputation and would never do anything despicable! "

But even so, Osaka executives could not completely dispel their doubts about Xue Cun, and finally decided to lay 10,000 troops in the Kushiro area behind Makita Maru to prevent Xue Cun from defecting to the enemy and turning back.

1614165438+In October, the atmosphere of war around Osaka Castle became stronger and stronger. In order to gain the initiative, Sanada Yukimura sent a small team to leave Makita Maru to guard a small bridge in the south of Shinohara.

On the other hand, after161465438+101,the Tokugawa army gradually narrowed the encirclement network of Osaka Castle and approached the south of Osaka step by step, at a distance of 0.5 km from Osaka Castle/kloc-0.

At the beginning of the war, Tokugawa made a long-term siege gesture. This situation is unbearable for a warrior full of revenge and fire like Xingcun, so he planned a plan to attack Konka-

1614165438+1On October 27th, Sanada Yukimura learned from the information of ninja that Konka would go to Fuan battlefield by boat in person the next day, and thought it was an excellent opportunity to kill Konka in one fell swoop. He immediately summoned 50 soldiers who were good at using iron cannons and 18 soldiers with superb martial arts at 22 o'clock that night. It was in the middle of winter and it was very cold. The soldiers in Makita had to hug each other to keep warm. While drinking and dancing with the soldiers to keep warm, Xing Cun put oil on his bare skin to prevent frostbite and insisted on waiting for Konka's arrival.

On the other hand, on the morning of 28th, while Jia Yuan was planning to cruise by boat, he was stopped by Hideyoshi Tokugawa for some reason, and instead he sent Bendoya to patrol on his behalf. After waiting all night, Xing Cun and others were very disappointed to find this change. Immediately, the soldiers put forward a sniper, but Xingcun flatly refused:

"I'm here to attack Konka. What's the use of killing others! "

After that, the troops quietly retreated.

In February 65438+, 75-year-old Tokugawa Ieyasu personally inspected the position and thought that the frontal storm in Osaka would cause great losses to his own side, so he said to Maeda Junxiu, one of the allied generals:

"For Osaka Castle, the strategy of storm is not desirable. Please dig a trench in front of your team's position, build a high platform behind it, and smash the other side's fortifications with artillery fire. "

Maeda Junxiu was ordered to take action on the same day, digging trenches and building earth-made platforms. But all these actions were clearly seen by the sentry on Makita Maru watchtower. Sanada Yukimura soon understood the intention of former Tian Jun. In order to stop the enemy's action, Xingcun sent more soldiers to Shinohara, opposite Maeda's position, and ordered them to shoot the craftsmen and soldiers who built the earthen platform in former Tian Jun. This attack lasted for several days, causing nearly 100 casualties to former Tian Jun every day. Maeda Junxiu's project was impossible, so we had to give up.

1614 65438+On February 3, 2004, Hideyoshi Tokugawa, who knew this situation, felt that he couldn't stand it any longer, so he sent Nobuyoshi, a consultant around him, as a special envoy to Maeda, and issued an order to take the initiative to attack Li Chang, "push the position to Okayama and seize Shinohara".

Maeda Junxiu, who was harassed by the true heavenly army, immediately went to tidy up and set off for Shinohara position with other overseers at two o'clock the next morning. The two teams expected fierce resistance in Shinohara, but they didn't expect Sanada Yukimura to withdraw its troops to Makita Maru. Maeda Junxiu quickly sent two teams, Changshi Hengshan and Changyu Yamazaki, to pursue, but he didn't understand the terrain, lost his way in the dark, and his formation was scattered and his morale was low. They didn't find the trace of Tian Jun until they came to Makita Maru, so they didn't attack Makita Maru. Then prepare to attack the city before the multi-political team comes to Makita Maru.

Seeing the chaos of the Tokugawa army outside the city, the soldiers of the Tianjun army were well documented and wanted to go out of the city to meet them, but Xingcun did not agree, but ordered most of the soldiers to take a short rest and save their strength. Soon after, when the Tokugawa army outside the city had been reorganized, Xingcun sent a soldier to fight on the wall and shouted to the outside:

"Maeda's soldiers, what do you want to do when you surround Mount Shinohara at midnight? Isn't it for hunting? But you are too noisy, and all the birds and animals nearby will be scared away by the gunfire. In your spare time, you might as well be my opponents. Are you afraid of attacking this town? "

Hearing such a provocation, Maeda's people could not restrain their anger. The front celestial army took the lead in leading our soldiers to the wall of Makita Maru, but was quickly repelled by the intensive musket shooting of the real celestial army. The front celestial army suffered numerous casualties and Okura himself was seriously injured. Then, Ben Zheng Duo also led a team to attack the city, but he was also hit back by the bullets of the Tianjun Army. After that, the former general of the third team of Tianjun also arrived and joined the attack on Makita Maru, but he still failed to break through the wall.

Before this war, Maeda Junxiu prepared many bamboo shields for the siege to guard against Makita Maru's musket attack, but this night's unplanned blind attack made these bamboo shields useless, but former Tian Jun suffered heavy casualties. Maeda Junxiu was very angry at his men's unauthorized disobedience, and ordered the whole army to stop attacking, retreat from Mount Shinohara and station in Kimura.

It was found that the battle of Makita Maru started, and the two armies of the Tokugawa Coalition forces Inoue Naoshi and Matsu Naoki were not far behind. They marched in the direction of Hakikou on the west side of Makita Maru and attacked Osaka Castle, breaking through the first heavy fence outside the city. At the same time, an accident happened in Toyotomi Army-Yasunari Ishikawa's soldiers knocked down the gunpowder box, causing a violent explosion. As a part of the city's Nedchuan Army, Zhi Yuan Zhong also waited for an opportunity to make trouble and wanted to put the Tokugawa Army into the city, but fortunately, he was found by the guards and was arrested immediately. A few days later, he was sentenced to beheading. Without knowing it, Gao Qiao Fujitani, who colluded with Naoko Yuan outside the city, immediately directed his team to attack Tamamachi. As Fujikura, Kyonyi and Matsuhei began to attack, all the troops of the Tokugawa Allied Forces stationed in the south of Osaka also launched a general attack!

However, Keiji Goto, a famous militarist and ronin strategist in Osaka City, had already anticipated the attack route of the Tokugawa Army and made plans for the deployment and defense of troops in advance. The defenders from Badingmu to Dammachikou are like an iron wall, which the Tokugawa army can't break at all!

In the fierce battle, Kimura, a young military commander, once again took the lead, leading the team to engage with the vanguard troops of Jingyi and Songping before rushing to the second fence, and even personally jumped into the moat to fight the enemy soldiers. At the same time, the flank of the Iraqi army was also attacked by Makita Maru, so that it was attacked between Scylla and Charybdis and had to leave the fence in a panic, leaving more than 500 bodies.

The fighting continued until noon. The teams of Keiji Goto, Chousogabe Morichika, Kitagawa Xuansheng and Akihito in Osaka Castle, together with the defenders of Makita Maru, repeatedly fired with fierce fire outside the city, causing heavy casualties to the Tokugawa army. However, because all passers-by in Tokugawa were carried away by anger and because of face, no one wanted to retreat first, and they were still desperate to take the lead, and the war situation almost became unmanageable. In the end, Tokugawa Ieyasu sent messengers to order the retreat, and Naoko Inoue, a senior official of Tokugawa family, also led the troops to retreat first, and other people from all walks of life withdrew from the battlefield.

In World War I, more than 2,000 Tokugawa troops were killed. Afterwards, Tokugawa Ieyasu and Xiuzhong severely reprimanded the generals of the two armies, Song Pingzhong and Inoue Nao, who attacked blindly.

This battle, known as Makita Maru's offensive and defensive battle, is also the most intense battle in Osaka East Array, which ended in Toyotomi Hideyoshi guarding the city. The victory should be attributed to Sanada Yukimura's clever trick of luring the enemy, Goto's keen insight and clever command, and Kimura's selfless fighting.

After the Battle of Makita Maru, Sanada Yukimura's military name left a brand of fear among Tokugawa soldiers. Konka also realized that it was difficult to storm Osaka Castle, so he changed his tactical policy and attacked the city instead. Since then, the war has fallen into a stalemate, and both sides are unwilling to take the initiative to attack, but wait quietly.

After nearly a month of confrontation in Osaka Winter Array, Toyotomi finally signed a peace talks treaty under the threat of shelling in Tokugawa.

According to the historical records in South Ji Bo, 16 14 14, in mid-February, the leaders of the bombed Toyotomi Party called all the main generals to discuss their views on the peace talks. At the meeting, two main military advisers, Goto Keiji and Sanada Yukimura, expressed their opinions on behalf of all ronin military commanders. Goto Keiji said firmly:

"Today's warriors fighting in guarding city have deeply owed the late Tiger. They are all enemies to such an ungrateful minister as Konka. At present, the enemy's ammunition, grain and forage are limited, so it is difficult to supply them. At the moment when they are defeated with all their strength, it is really not advisable to talk about peace! "

Sanada Yukimura also agreed:

"At this time, the three armed forces committed suicide and the soldiers worked hard. Even without foreign aid, Osaka Castle will never fall! What's more, in the battle (Makita Maru offensive and defensive war) five days ago, the morale of our army has made the enemy fearful. As long as we persist, the enemy will naturally be chaotic. At this time, the peace talks proposed by Tokugawa are like crossing a boat. They are capricious, have no integrity at all, and can't bring them! "

Their arguments were sorted out and handed over to the elders of the Toyotomi family, Canon Ji and Xiu for discussion. In this regard, the old etiquette of the Toyotomi family, Oda Nagamasu and Governor Xiao Ye, also stated their opposite opinions to Canon:

"Your Highnesses (Dianji and Xiulai) will only have the chance to accept peace talks if they don't want to commit suicide with the help of mixed soldiers ..."

Finally, Dian Ji, who was tortured by days of war, siege and shelling, said with tears:

"The troops in the city are not enough to guard against the enemy. At that time, when Gong Chao was in trouble, he hid in the hole of rotten wood and eventually became the master of the world. My son Sulai is the son of His Royal Highness Tiger. The ancients said,' If there is a good family, there is Qing Yu'. Let's keep it for a while, and there will be a chance to make a comeback in the future ... Please tell the men that Sulai has agreed to peace talks ... "

In this way, Toyotomi Hideyoshi agreed to the peace talks, and at the same time accepted all the conditions of the peace talks-including dismantling all fortifications except Osaka.

Such an outcome made the ronin generals who fought hard in Osaka City lament, and it was even more painful for them to see the Yugoslav capital system and "Tian Zhen Pill" that they had worked so hard to build dismantled by Tokugawa.

And also according to the record of the Nanbo Kunji, after the peace talks were reached, that is, 16 14 12.25, two governors in the Tokugawa Union, Data Masamune and Gao Qiao Fujita, found Tokugawa Ieyasu's close adviser and proposed:

"Although now and FengChen family live in harmony, but the final battle is inevitable. Why not take advantage of the demolition of the fortifications outside Osaka and break into the city in one fell swoop, and you will surely win a great victory ... This is a godsend! "

However, when Tokugawa Ieyasu heard the proposal, he couldn't help but sigh a track:

"The palace master's words are poor ... it is not uncommon for such an unjust trip to be punished by heaven since ancient times. The most recent one was the Guanyuan World War I in the fifth year of Tianzheng. When Hideyoshi's bones were not cold, Ishida's ruling department rebelled against the Lord's ingratitude, and gathered the names of Shikoku, Kyushu and Guinea to rebel. Toyotomi Hideyori was young and ignorant, and he also took part in it, trying to crusade against loyal ministers like my Konka. However, evil triumphed over evil, and Ishida Mitsunari and others were defeated by the First World War and finally punished. At that time, some soldiers offered to kill Xiulai, but I thought that the late Taige Xiuji was merciful and did not punish Xiulai. Today's crusade, we are also doing justice for heaven. If Xiulai can abandon evil and be good after making peace, I think we should live in harmony with him from generation to generation. If he still protects evil, he will die if he does more injustice, but heaven will punish his rich son.

"This is the so-called' self-satisfaction'. At that time, Oda Nobuyoshi exiled General Ashikaga Yoshiaki, which was unfair. Finally, Nobunaga's son was killed by Akechi Mitsuhide, and Oda's family gradually declined.

"In those days, Takeda Shingen, Duke of History, was a great star, but when he was a teenager, he exiled his father and believed in tigers, which was unfair. As a result, he fell in the battle of Sanhe Noda, and there was no good end. Family businesses are passed down from generation to generation.

"Xiu Jigong owes a lot to Noko, but it is unjust to usurp his industry and pursue his son. Now his son's show has turned upside down, which he deserved in his last life.

"There are many such examples, both ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign. I fought Nobunaga * *, and when Toyotomi Hideyoshi annexed Nobunaga's property, I also won the support of Nobunaga in World War I.. After making peace with Hideyoshi, as a member of the Toyotomi League, I never had second thoughts-so that some people thought that my Jiakang was a vassal of the Toyotomi family, but it was actually wrong ... However, even without the righteousness of the monarch and the minister, I repeatedly forgave Hideyoshi's crimes. After this peace, if he rebelled, it would be suicide ... played by my family.

Konka's words made everyone who heard them sigh and move. ...

In peacetime, many soldiers from Tokugawa and Toyotomi Army began to communicate with each other. Among them, according to Nanbo, a samurai named Yuan came to visit.

It turns out that Yin Zhen is one of the old ministers in Takeda Shingen. After the death of Takeda family, she lived in the countryside as a ronin. However, his brave and strong name in those days was well-known, and he was recorded by Vietnamese famous Song Zhao and became a member of his \ \ \ \ \ \ \ ". In this joint war, it turned out that Yin Zhen heard that Sanada Yukimura was performing in Osaka, but she always wanted to see it, but there was no chance. It was not until the peace talks that she got permission from Tadao Matsuhira and happily went to Osaka to meet Xingcun.

They are old friends. After meeting, they exchanged pleasantries, drank wine and talked about the lost time, fascinated and somewhat drunk. During the dinner, Xing Village Road:

"Peace talks are only a temporary expedient, and another war is inevitable. As a general on one side, I have to consider my reputation before and after death, and I will die in the battlefield on the day of another war. I'm afraid it's hard to see you again ... I'm a samurai, but it's only my duty to die in battle. Unfortunately, my eldest son, Xing Chang, has been a ronin for 14 years, but he has to suffer this fate. "

The warrior who scared off tens of thousands of troops in Tokugawa revealed sadness and loss in his words, and the original Yin Zhen could not help but be speechless. ...

Then, xingcun pointed to the helmet on the table:

"The helmet decorated with antlers over there is a treasure handed down from generation to generation in my family, which was given to me by my late father. When I go to war in the future, I will wear it to die ... If you see this pocket after the war, please take it as the head sacrifice of my happy village ... "

The original Yin Zhen smell speech gives way:

"Who can guarantee to survive on the battlefield? If I die too, let's meet again in the grave! "

Later, Xing Cun brought out a good horse named "White River Original Hair" (with white stripes), with a white saddle and a golden family pattern of "Six Thousand". Xing village turn dismount, towering said to the original Yin Zhen:

"My BMW can rival the eight horses when Zhou Muwang met the Queen Mother in ancient China!" Then, Xingcun raised his hand and pointed to the south. "Now the defense outside Osaka has been destroyed, and the decisive battle must be held in Ye Ping in the south. I want to take this horse to fight against Tokugawa's army! " It's a pity that it didn't leave offspring ... this Kyle is my baby ... "Say, Xingcun turned over, dismounted and looked gloomy. ...

After dinner, Yin Zhen returned to the camp and never saw Sanada Yukimura again. In May of the following year, in the final battle of Tiannu Jia, it is said that Xingcun wore the antler helmet mentioned above and died heroically on the horse "Lily Mao Yuan".

As Sanada Yukimura, Goto Keiji and others expected, the peace talks were just a cover-up for the Tokugawa shogunate. In the summer of the following year, that is,1665438+April 2005, Tokugawa Ieyasu finally issued the order to crusade against the Toyotomi family again.

This time, the leadership of the Toyotomi family had to make up their minds to fight to the end. As the fortifications and trenches outside Osaka have been completely destroyed, Toyotomi Army decided to take the initiative to attack and fight. However, due to the unfavorable command, both the attack on Yamato County and the attack on Jiyi and Geshan City ended in failure in mid-April, which also damaged David Naoki and other valiant soldiers.

On April 30th, in order to cope with the advancing Tokugawa army, Osaka Castle held an important military meeting. At the meeting, two military advisers, Makita and Goto, once again expressed different opinions and launched a heated debate-

Goto Matabee thinks that the main force of Tokugawa is likely to attack from Yamato Road, and Komatsu Mountain is the only way. Komatsu Pass is difficult to attack because of its dangerous terrain. If you lie in ambush there, you may have a chance to kill Konka himself in one fell swoop, thus turning the whole battle around.

Sanada Yukimura thinks that if the whole army is too far away from Komatsu Pass, it will be difficult to guard against if the enemy attacks from Bagan Road and Ruojiang River, and Osaka Castle will be difficult to defend once the position of Komatsu Mountain is broken. It is better to wait until the Tokugawa army is all concentrated in the big one.
