History of Asia

[Nobunaga Siege Network] by the anti-Nobunaga forces, Phase 1 1568-1571

Nobunaga Oda was in 1567 [ Tenkafubu ] Under the catchphrase, we will succeed in dedicating Yoshiaki Ashikaga to Joraku. However, immediately after that, he was in a difficult situation due to the resistance of the opposition.

I would like to write in three parts the tough road to Nobunaga's Tenkafubu, which lasted for more than 10 years from around 1568 to the Honnoji Incident in 1582.

Nobunaga siege network by various daimyo in Kinai

Battle of Okehazama Nobunaga Oda settled down to Owari and Mino with the momentum of breaking bamboo after winning a miraculous victory. When Nobunaga came to Tokyo with Tenka Fubu, it was not a threat to the surrounding daimyo.

Nobunaga's influence must be plucked before it becomes stronger.

Such [ Nobunaga overthrow ] The daimyo of Kinai who have the same interests will start to move.

As the main force ...

Minamiise Kitabatake Tomonori

He lost the battle of Okawachi Castle and surrendered by adopting Nobunaga's second son to the Kitabatake clan, but he secretly resisted while extending the transfer of the family to his second son.

Minami Omi Rokkaku Yoshikata

A prestigious hereditary guardian of Omi, the owner of Kan'onji Castle. He was in conflict with the Azai clan and refused when Nobunaga passed through the territory. He is looking for an opportunity to fight back against the Oda clan while watching the situation of Asai and Asakura.

Kita Omi Nagamasa Asai

Nobunaga's younger sister, Oichi, was greeted in her regular room, but when Nobunaga attacked Asakura, he split up. There are various theories as to why, but it is also said that he was dissatisfied with the fact that he did not receive a reward for Nagamasa who participated in Nobunaga's Joraku.

Awa Miyoshi Yoshitsugu (Miyoshi Miyoshi)

The Miyoshi clan, who was the most notable daimyo at this time. Before Nobunaga went up, Nagayoshi Miyoshi was in control. After the death of Chokei, his family members, Miyoshi Choi, Miyoshi Masayasu, and Iwanari Tomomichi, were in control.

Echizen Yoshikage Asakura

Yoshiaki Ashikaga was there before he turned to Nobunaga. Originally, it was a family of the vassals of the guardian Shiba as a guardian of Echizen. Mr. Oda, who was also a vassal of Mr. Shiba, had a pride that he could not submit, so he refused Nobunaga's request for Joraku.

Yamato Tsutsui Junkei

He was in conflict with Matsunaga Hisahide, but behind the scenes he seemed to communicate with Miyoshi Sanjin.

In this way, Nobunaga, who was surrounded by opposition from all sides, decided to fight for the eastern west run. He has been in 17 races himself in just three years, and it must have been the days of the battle after the battle.

  • 1568 Exile Miyoshi Sanjin from Yamashiro and Settsu.
  • 1569 Attacking Kitabatake Tomonori's Okawachi Castle
  • 1570 Attacking Yoshikage Asakura who does not respond to Joraku

First Nobunaga Siege Network

The key man in the 1st Nobunaga siege network is the Asai / Asakura family . is.

In 1570, Nobunaga will attack Asakura, who does not respond to Joraku. In the war situation, Tezutsuyama and Kanegasaki Castle near the border between Omi and Echizen were dropped, but immediately after that, they were betrayed by Nagamasa Azai of Odani Castle and retreated to Gifu with their lives.

After that, he rebuilt the system and betrayed Nagamasa Asai . Ieyasu Tokugawa Nagamasa Asai asks the Asakura clan for reinforcements. Oda / Tokugawa Allied Forces VS Asai / Asakura Allied Forces across the Ane River Will collide.

The battle was won by the Oda-Tokugawa Allied Forces, with Asai retreating to Odani Castle and Asakura to Echizen, but not enough to destroy both families.

Therefore, Nobunaga will still suffer.

It was Miyoshi Sanjin who raised soldiers shortly after the Battle of Anegawa. So, I will lead the main force and advance the soldiers to Settsu. At first, I was watching the situation, but when Miyoshi got an advantage, Nobunaga went to Osaka. He completely surrounded Miyoshi, and Ishiyama's Honganji Temple Nobunaga Siege Network Will join.

From behind Nobunaga nailed to Osaka, Asai / Asakura army 30,000 soldiers Will go to Omi Sakamoto and attack Nobunaga from behind. Nobunaga turned around here, and when he headed from Osaka to Omi, the Asai and Asakura troops stood in Enryakuji.

Nobunaga immediately requested Enryakuji to be neutral However, I refuse it because of the grudge that Nobunaga took the mansion. For this reason, Nobunaga must confront the Asai and Asakura troops who stay in Enryakuji while keeping their camp in Sakamoto. [ Siege of Shiga ]

In the midst of the Siege of Shiga, Ikko-ikki of Ise Nagashima Wake up and my brother is killed. As a result, Nobunaga begged for the decree of Emperor Ogimachi, and Asai / Asakura and Wamu . Will be done.

This Siege of Shiga Nobunaga thought that Enryakuji had a hard time in Asai and Asakura, so he burned Enryakuji in September 1571 to cut off the worries of his patronage. I will order you.

Peace with Asai and Asakura And Enryakuji slaughter The first Nobunaga siege network is over Will be. However, the anti-Nobunaga forces were still alive, and the peace and truce was only temporary.

This time, Yoshiaki Ashikaga and the famous general of Kai Shingen Takeda Will join the siege ...
