413 Backyard fire

As a leader in Japanese history, Date Masamune often lamented that he was born twenty years late, otherwise he would have been able to compete with Uesugi, Takeda, and even Oda Nobunaga.

Therefore, it is called [One-eyed Dragon Masamune] and [Twenty years later].

And ironically, just a few days after Masamune was born, Oda Nobunaga destroyed Mino Saito and began his own path of [Tianxia Buwu].

Indeed, Masamune's ability is good in terms of command, resourcefulness, internal affairs, and diplomacy, and he has a very powerful group of retainers under his command (in fact, I think that whether the people under him are strong or not has a lot to do with whether the master knows how to use it, as I said before, [Akabei] is a divine soldier in the hands of Takeda Shingen and Tokugawa Ieyasu, and a group of cannon fodder in the hands of Takeda Katsuyori).

On the surface, it seems that if the vertical and horizontal era is too late, otherwise there is still room to fight with everyone to try.

In fact, the war is nothing more than the right time and place, and Ao Yu is remote and barren, just like even in the late Han Dynasty, it is impossible to expect Gongsun Zhan, Ma Teng, etc., who are strong in military strength but live on one side, to dominate the mountains and rivers and shake the Central Plains.

[How strong is Date Masamune? 】

To be honest, it's not the first time I've seen this topic, but every time I see it, I can't help but twitch the corners of my mouth.

Does this mean that people are meant to be taken out separately? Black. My comprehension skills have regressed.

This person's talent and strategy may indeed have his merits, but when it comes to the word "strong", it seems that it is really not high in my thinking [everyone appreciates it from different angles].

Because I really can't talk about the word "understanding", in my impression, it is more fixed in his high-spirited spirit at the beginning and his later decline, but his heroic ambitions were finally washed away again and again, and finally fell into the lamentable ending of Ma Mengqi in the later period of only guarding an inch of land, not seeking merit but seeking no fault.

Although I don't like glory very much, there are some aspects that hit many characters too hard, and some tout too heavily on many characters. But I still appreciate its feelings for history that need to be expressed in CG. For example, the ending of Yukimura's defense after the war in "Taiko Rishi 5" gave me a strong touch that I can't feel in books.

Back to the topic. In "Tai 5", Date Masamune's Odawara Sangami, from the beginning of the high-spirited and arrogant look to the cold sweat of Hideyoshi who only put a fan on his neck, and then bowed his head to the ground, sincere and frightened.

It's very vivid and clear, of course, it's just a way of exaggerating and imagining the game in order to reflect it in the story.

In the 18th year of Tensho (1590), Hideyoshi conquered Odawara, and Date joined in a posture of submission. He paid homage to Hideyoshi in the posture of [death with a white collar], hoping to be forgiven.

Hideyoshi also once again showed his powerful diplomatic methods, ostensibly [pardoning] Masamune, and only confiscating the former Ashina, Aizu and other territories as a small punishment [the truth is not small, and it has weakened the power of the Date family to a large extent].

Subsequently, it seems that regarding the issue of riots, Date also [led to death] in front of Hideyoshi many times.

(If you want to know more about the plot, you can go to watch the Dahe drama "One-Eyed Dragon Masamune", which is very expressive)

Later, I learned a little more about Hideyoshi's handling of the problem of Sekihaku Hideji.

At that time, because he had no children under the throne, his adopted son Hideji naturally became the target of many people who wanted to please the Toyotomi family, and Date was no exception. He is good friends with Xiuji, and often [goes in and out of the museum], and welcomes his love as he likes. But all of this, when Hideyoshi wanted to pull out Xiuji, became quite dangerous. Masamune immediately severed all ties with Hideji, and made it clear that he was absolutely innocent, and when he was questioned by Hideyoshi, he repeatedly avoided responsibility and shirked his involvement.

At this time, Masamune was already like a tiger with its fangs sharpened and its claws, and he had long lost his previous ambitions, just for the conservative daimyo of how to protect himself and how to protect his current territory.

After Hideyoshi's death, Ieyasu rose.

The Battle of Sekigahara was on the verge of breaking out.

After Masamune promised to be a million-stone daimyo after the war, Masamune resolutely joined the Eastern Army, and became a powerful force to contain Uesugi with Mogami Yoshimitsu and others. From wanting to [fight] to completely [protecting], the nature has completely changed.

In the fifth year of Keicho (1600), Ieyasu ordered Masamune and Mogami Yoshimitsu to conquer Aizu, and Date Masamune seized the time to expand the old territory, but he was already like a man in his last years, carrying in his arms the only trace of surplus value that he did not let go.

Finally, in the Edo period, the waves of the Warring States period dispersed like thin waves.

The above is the part of Masamune's will to fade in troubled times.

And ability, from the following aspects.

Speaking of the Date Army, I think of the seemingly brave cavalry in the Battle of Osaka.

After checking the relevant information, netizens told me that the rider was probably the musketeer on the horse.

There are many people who believe that although riding iron has the advantage of maneuverability, it seriously affects hitting, and gives up the speed and lethality of the horse. According to official Japanese information, Date rode the iron when he was moving, and only fired when he stopped. The range of the shot was about 100 meters. Therefore, the speed of the horse should be used to achieve the purpose of moving quickly and quickly changing positions.

However, the cavalry is expensive, cumbersome to train, and has many inconveniences in installing ammunition. In my opinion, it is a bit of a superfluous move, and it is better to give up such a so-called invention and creation that wants to have both fish and bear's paws.

And in terms of diplomacy, the attack is the attack, the pressure is the pressure, and it seems to be a bit of a vertical and horizontal Ou Yu feeling. And with his timely subjugation to Hideyoshi and Ieyasu, he can be regarded as having a very keen political sense. But in terms of means, it is far less sharp than Hideyoshi.

Some people commented that when people took the bridge, Masamune killed his father regardless of his safety, and he [had the temperament to achieve great things] in the cruel Warring States. In ancient times, heroes often used to use "informal", but as far as the later calculations about the Hitoki bridge battle are concerned, Masamune still seems to be in a hurry, rather than willing to give up everything for the sake of righteousness.

There is a digression here about the later events of Date being a private diploma with Europe during the Shogunate period, and that he was once active in the spread of Catholicism. However, when the shogunate expressed dissatisfaction and questioned the political problems of the Date family, he immediately changed the propaganda to suppression, and sure enough, the response was quite slow.

Finally, to my slight surprise, many people told me that Masamune and his people were quite accomplished in governance and internal affairs, as well as many other areas.

The purpose of sending envoys to Europe is to learn from Western technology and achieve the purpose of developing exchanges.

This makes him great, jumping out of the confines of the princes of a small country and looking at the world......

In the afternoon of the same day, Akechi Kogoro received a letter.

At that time, Akechi Kogoro was in the assessment room of Kasuga Yamashiro Castle, discussing a new war with the people of the Uesugi family.

Wise Kogoro and Uesugi Keitora had already planned to fight another battle with the Date family -- since the peace negotiations had been completed, the Date army would soon retreat, and this was a great opportunity for the Uesugi army to pursue and maximize the superiority of the Echigo cavalry on the vast Echigo Plain.

However, the retainers of the Uesugi family had a very strong attitude towards this matter, and they all believed that since the war was over, there was no need to pursue it anymore, and they had a bad reputation for not keeping their integrity.

After such a long war, the period of the Uesugi army was generally low due to repeated defeats, and everyone thought that even if they fought against the Date army, they might not be able to win.

Hearing what the Uesugi family said, Wise Kogoro was also a little helpless, and it seemed that he had to find a good way to boost everyone's morale.

It was at this time that a letter was delivered to him from outside the city.

Seeing the contents of this letter, Akechi Kogoro couldn't help but be overjoyed.

The person who wrote the letter was Yoshimitsu Mogami Dewa, and the content of the letter was that his sister Yoshihime, who married Yonezawa Castle, had agreed to cooperate with the Oda shogunate.

It turned out that back in Kyoto, Date Masamune might not be able to deal with it easily, considering the war that would happen later, so Akekogoro decided to exert military pressure from the outside while also trying to divide the Date family from the inside.

Since Date Masamune succeeded to the throne, the mortality rate of soldiers was high, regardless of foreign wars, and the common people complained about it, and the local retainers and lords also resented this deadly mode of warfare.

Not only that, but what made those retainers even more unbearable was that Date Masamune, because of his own shallow qualifications, continued to centralize power in order to stabilize the position of the governor, which also angered those old ministers.

In addition to this, within the Date family, there is an even more dangerous uneasiness factor.

That is Date Masamune's mother and his younger brother, although these two people are in Yonezawa Castle, their hearts are in Yamagata Castle in Dewa.

Wise Kogoro, who is familiar with history, approached the retainers of the Mogami family, and conveyed his intention to [cooperate] with Mogami Yoshihime.

The people of the Mogami family agreed very happily -- although the impression of Akechi Kogoro was very bad before, but the things he mentioned were very attractive, and the Mogami family had been looking at Date Masamune unpleasantly for several years, and it would be great if they could find an opportunity to give him a chance to [stroke] him.

So,After Mogami retainer returned,Immediately reported the matter to Mogami Yoshimitsu,Mogami Yoshimitsu heard that he finally had a chance to make the disobedient nephew suffer a little.,Very happy.,Immediately began to contact Yonezawa Castle's sister.。

That's the way it is.

In fact, it is more accurate to say that it is not so much to cooperate with the Oda shogunate, but to directly return to the shogunate.

In a letter, Mogami Yoshihime expressed his willingness to incite the people in Date to oppose Date Masamune's rule as instructed by him, until Date Masamune was forced to step down.

And in return, Akechi Kogoro needs to vigorously assist his youngest son to sit in the position of the governor of the Date family, and after her youngest son, that is, Date Kojiro Mado, after succeeding to the throne, can no longer embarrass the Date family and accept the Date family as a retainer of the Oda family.

That's exactly what I want.
