The Warring States period of Oda Ujiharu, the weakest daimyo who was so different even with the same body

Until the end of the Muromachi period, he was a great tribe who ruled Tsukuba-gun, Hitachi Province and its surroundings for 370 years.

However, its glory will also fall to the ground in the era of Masaharu Oda.

1545 , Hojo Ujiyasu Three Surprise Attacks in Japan [ Kawagoe Night Battle ] Then, because he was losing, Mr. Oda's fall began. His father, politics, did not die in the war, but soon after he died, his firstborn, Ujiharu, took over as the reign of the family.

Oda Ujiharu, who is not good at the first match in Japan

If Ujiharu, who inherited the traces of his father and politics who built Oda's era, was an excellent person like other Kanto daimyo, the Kanto power map might have changed, but he is tremendous. I had the skill.

It is [ not good at genius 】That's how it was.

It is Oda Ujiharu no matter how much diplomatically advantageous it is, even if it has such a large force. Kenshin Uesugi , a war genius who causes a big rush just because he took command I was doing the opposite of.

Mr. Yuki After being attacked by, he was defeated and his castle was dropped and fell down, Mr. Tagaya If you want to attack, you will be defeated, and on the contrary, you will be robbed of your castle, Mr. Satake It was exactly zero wins in 100 battles, as if the castle was dropped again.

What's so bad is that Ujiharu can't make a calm judgment when he gets blood in his head, and he has a habit of plunging into places where he shouldn't go or sticking to one thing, and he is used by the enemy. There was a fatal flaw as a general of the army who said that he would get stuck in a plan.

For some reason, Ujiharu had a lot of hope.

Ujiharu sometimes gets bloody and loses sight of himself, but for some reason it seems that there was only hope, and the good people who had been dominated by Mr. Oda for nearly 400 years often admired him. He was also blessed with vassals, and his vassals such as Masasada Sugaya and Noriharu Sugaya were praised by the enemy.

As evidence, the vassals who continued to support Ujiharu with the same loyalty whether he lost the war many times or his firstborn was killed. The lords also refused to pay the annual tribute to the new lord, and said that they continued to pay the annual tribute only to Ujiharu.

Oda Ujiharu's Ambition

1558 In addition, Kenshin Uesugi (Kenshin) When he intervened in the battle in the Kanto region, all of Mr. Oda's hostile forces came to Uesugi. Ujiharu fights back and fights after the castle and Oda Castle are dropped several times, but the result was obvious at the war god and Ujiharu who is in the opposite place.

Oda Ujiharu Is defeated by the Uesugi Allied Forces and surrenders.

For a while, under the patronage of Uesugi, Satake and Utsunomiya At the same time, he was attacking Mr. Yuki and Odawara in Hojo, but when Kenshin Uesugi returned to Echigo, he began to be pressured by Mr. Satake, who had a consensus.

1563 Ujiharu, who couldn't stand the pressure of Satake, Kenshin Uesugi Betrayal Hojo Ujiyasu I decided to change my saddle and burn my heart to overthrow Satake. However, this action caused Kenshin's anger and was attacked by the Satake, Utsunomiya, and Uesugi Allied Forces, and Oda Castle was robbed again, and most of the territory was robbed by Satake.

Satake Yoshiaki by robbing Oda territory Imminent unification of Hitachi Province 1565 Died at a young age, Yoshishige His reign will be succeeded to. When the timing of the change of the head is the most aimed Ujiharu attacked the old territory robbed by Mr. Satake and regained Oda Castle.

Ujiharu's move is rational and that's exactly what it is, but this action is Kenshin Uesugi who values ​​righteousness. Oda Castle was dropped by Kenshin and Ujiharu escaped to Tsuchiura Castle.

As expected, Ujiharu also surrendered due to Kenshin's anger, but he surrendered to Uesugi, and Satake's threat remained.

Yoshishige Satake Frequently advanced into the Oda territory and robbed the territory.

Ujiharu, who can't do anything about it, asks Kenshin Uesugi for help, but Uesugi and Satake are important allies, so they didn't take it in. I don't know if the battle is good or bad, but after that, I was defending the onslaught of famous generals such as Mr. Satake's Ota Sukemasa, Kajiwara Keikuni, and Mr. Makabe, but since it is Mr. Ujiharu, 1573 Oda Castle will be the last to fall.

Oda Ujiharu's final battle

After the battle in 1573, Ujiharu was unable to recapture Oda Castle.

Even if he lost this much, Ujiharu's poor warfare did not heal, he was particular about regaining Oda Castle, and he used it to dance to Mr. Satake in a good way, and the losing battle continued. As expected, when the loss is lost, the territory and supplies are gone, and the remaining bases are Fujisawa Castle and Tsuchiura Castle . It has become.

Even so, there are few betrayals of the vassals even during this period, and it is decided that this is the place to die and the final battle will be launched ...

First of all, Fujisawa Castle Has fallen, captain Yura Kentsuna, Tosaki Nagatoshi Many talented vassals were killed. And the last Tsuchiura Castle Then, while being surrounded by the Satake army, the vassals were inspired, and Numajiri Harima Mamoru took over, and when Ujiharu and his babysitter escaped from the castle, they set fire to the castle and septed in the castle.

On the verge of extinction ...

Ujiharu, who was able to fall to Odawara thanks to his loyal retainers, requests Mr. Hojo to attack Tsuchiura Castle on the condition that his son be held hostage. After listening to his wish, Mr. Hojo dispatches his cell to attack Tsuchiura Castle.

However, at Tsuchiura Castle, the former Oda family vassal, Norimasa Sugaya , who was arrested and surrendered by Mr. Satake. Was included. When he learned that Ujiharu was back, Norimasa gladly surrendered the castle, and Tsuchiura Castle regained it without fighting.

1577 Hojo Ujimasa Attacks Oda Castle but retreats, but taking advantage of the turmoil, Ujiharu succeeds in attacking the old territory and recovering to some extent . doing. Even so, Mr. Satake was powerful, and with the support of Mr. Hojo, Mr. Satake was harassing him by poking him from behind and cooperating with him.

At that time, Mr. Satake had a crush on Mr. Date and concentrated his troops in the north, so it was an opportunity from Ujiharu's point of view. And when I thought that I would recapture Oda Castle this time, the battle in Kanto ended in a certain event.

That is ...

Toyotomi Hideyoshi Odawara Attack Is

Mr. Oda, who was under the influence of Mr. Hojo who was hostile to Satake on the side of Hideyoshi, and was full of heads about Oda Castle and did not come under Hideyoshi, was easily punished after the destruction of Mr. Hojo. ..

In this way, Oda's voice ended in an instant with the voice of Tsuru, who was in power at the time.

After that, Ujiharu confirmed that his daughter was a concubine of Hideyasu Yuki, so he was greeted as a guest under Hideyasu and his nemesis, Mr. Satake, joined the Western Army in Sekigahara. > 1601 Died in Echizen.

After all it is amazing! ?? Oda Ujiharu

Ujiharu Oda, who reigned as a famous family until the end of the Muromachi period but lost everything at the end, is not highly evaluated, but despite being defeated by Kenshin Uesugi in 1564 and robbed of Oda Castle. Since it has been regained in about a year, it is believed that the unity of the vassals of Oda Ujiharu is a work of Ujiharu's ability.

Ujiharu's nemesis, Yoshiaki Satake is Kenshin Uesugi According to the letter, [ Ujiharu's bow and arrow arm has been weakening recently, but his skill has been since Minamoto no Yoritomo, and he is usually talented and his vassals of Fudai are all capable. ], So it may not be as disappointing as it is said to posterity.
