History of Asia

In fact, the sons of famous Sengoku daimyo who were quite capable

The sons of the super-famous Sengoku warlords, whose father was too great and underestimated during the Warring States period, were actually quite excellent warlords.

This time, I would like to highlight the sons of the Sengoku daimyo, whose ability has not been evaluated in the shadow of such a father.

His son, Takeda Katsuyori, was more powerful than his father, Shingen.

Katsuyori Takeda (1546 ~ 1582)

Shingen Takeda Katsuyori Takeda was born as the son of Has inherited the prestigious Takeda clan because Yoshinobu, who was the firstborn of Shingen, was abandoned.

Battle of Nagashino in less than 10 years after inheriting Shingen's territory It became a kick to destroy the Takeda family. Therefore, he is often evaluated in the opposite direction to his father Shingen.

Katsuyori Takeda, a brave warrior

It is said that Ieyasu Tokugawa was prepared to die, Battle of Mikatagahara Then, Katsuyori's onslaught Defeated the Tokugawa army. Katsuyori seems to have been an exceptionally brave young warrior, and was praised by his servants for his brave assault on his first team.

Capture and drop the castle that his father Shingen couldn't drop

Takatenjin Castle is a mountain castle located in Kakegawa City, Shizuoka Prefecture, and a fierce battle between Ieyasu Tokugawa and Katsuyori Takeda was fought, but Shingen couldn't make it. However, Katsuyori dropped Takatenjin Castle and attacked the castle that his father could not capture.

Thanks to that effort, the territory became the maximum after Shingen's death, Kai, Shinano, Suruga, Ueno, Mikawa, Mino Having a part, he grew up to be the second largest Sengoku daimyo after Nobunaga.

However, there are many enemies around, and because of the repulsion of the people and servants, and the enormous forces of Oda, Tokugawa, and Hojo, they will follow the path of destruction.

It is true that he was not a foolish general because he was able to develop such power before the Battle of Nagashino.

Excellent Oda Nobutada recognized by his father, Nobunaga

Nobutada Oda (1555-1582)

Sengoku Sanei-Ketsu's Oda Nobunaga Nobutada, who was born as the eldest son of Nobunaga and was given the reign of the family before Nobunaga's life, supported Nobunaga in military and political terms as a legitimate successor.

In the past, Nobutada was evaluated as a foolish general in comparison with Nobuyasu Matsudaira, but in fact he was a very excellent successor that Nobunaga admitted.

As for the battle history, Nagashino Battle, Iwatsuki Castle Strategy He became the owner of Gifu Castle after being entrusted with Mino. His position at this time was Akechi Mitsuhide and Hashiba Hideyoshi It is also said that it was of the same rank or higher.

Umi Senyama Sen's Matsunaga Hisahide The Takeda clan was destroyed in just two months, and the Takeda clan, who was said to be the strongest in the Warring States period, was defeated by a young man in his twenties.

However, like his father, he is killed by the Honnoji Incident.

Nobutada is staying at Myokaku-ji Temple near Honnoji Temple and heads for the rescue of his father, but on the way he learns of his death. After that, he fights against the Akechi army with a small amount of force, but he does not help and commits suicide at Nijo Imperial Palace, and if Oda Nobutada was alive, history might have changed significantly.

Hideyori Toyotomi, who was also afraid of Ieyasu Tokugawa

Toyotomi Hideyori (1593-1615)

Toyotomi Hideyoshi And Yodo-kun's child in the concubine Born as Ieyasu Tokugawa after Hideyoshi's death Will be confronted with.

Set with Yodo-dono Toyotomi Hideyori, who has a strong image of a mother's complex, seems to have been a fearless military commander. There is no doubt that Hideyori, who was born in Hideyoshi's later years, was loved by Hideyoshi and was brought up to the extreme of overprotection, but he learned royal studies from an early age and was clear and well-loved. ..

According to the remaining historical materials, Hideyori is a large and imposing body, height 197 cm and weight 160 kg . It is also said to be a giant of. Hideyori is calligraphy It is said that the daimyo wanted the letter.

The Toyotomi clan, who was proud of their dignity even after the Battle of Sekigahara

1600 It is said that the Toyotomi clan has been weak since the Battle of Sekigahara, which was divided into the East Army led by Ieyasu Tokugawa and the West Army led by Mitsunari Ishida, but Toyotomi Hideyori is still in Osaka Castle. Is healthy So, reigning with authority and dignity that surpasses the Tokugawa family was doing.

Hideyori was Settsu / Kawachi / Izumi by Ieyasu after the war. Daimyo's position However, due to recent research, interference with domestic affairs mainly in western Japan And there is still evidence of income from the kurairichi It turns out that it was still dignified.

After the Battle of Sekigahara, the Toyotomi family had the image of being lower than the Tokugawa family, but that was a big mistake, and the Tokugawa family and the Toyotomi family were on an equal footing.

Even after the establishment of the Shogunate, the Toyotomi clan was still strong, so it seems that people thought that Hideyori's adult Akatsuki would regain the position of Kampaku and that Toyotomi would be revived again.

That is why Ieyasu tried to eliminate the Toyotomi clan by the Siege of Osaka in order to make the world of Tokugawa solid even after his death.

Kemari son Imagawa Ujizane was actually quite versatile

Imagawa Ujizane (1538 ~ 1615)

However, by destroying the Imagawa clan, which was his heyday, for his own generation, he is now synonymous with foolishness . Has been treated as.

However, in reality, it is quite military commander of both Bunbu and Budo . It seems that it was.

Kemari Master as you can imagine So, that Nobunaga's ability to plead for guidance It seems that he was the owner of. He was skillful enough to admit even Nobunaga, who was an enemy.

Also, Ujizane wrote many waka poems in his life. , 1658 The poem of the neck still remains .. The waka poem is said to have been selected by Emperor Gomizuo. He was also a leading poet.

This Tsukahara Bokuden Was the founder of Kashima Shinto-ryu and a master of swordsmanship who also taught shoguns and daimyo. He was taught swordsmanship by such a sword master, so his skill seems to have been considerable.

In addition, even after being chased from the territory, he passed through the world of the Warring States period and was a high house in the shogunate. The achievement of keeping the house alive was great, and the family name remained until the Edo period. Takaya * from the Tokugawa Shogunate The Imagawa clan continued until the Meiji era.
