In the previous article, I wrote about Date Masamune becoming the champion of South Oshu.
Today, I would like to take a look at Date Masamune under the Toyotomi Hideyoshi administration.
Date Masamune under the Toyotomi administration
1589 , Masamune used to live in Aizu and Kurokawa Castle, but in the center Toyotomi Hideyoshi The total finishing of the unification of the world was about to be done.
1590 Siege of Odawara is.
Mr. Date and Mr. Hojo Has been in an alliance since his father, Terumune's generation, so Masamune was wondering whether to fight Hideyoshi or not. In the end, Masamune decided to submit to Hideyoshi, who led a large army of 200,000.
However, Sou safe decree violation in the Tohoku region In addition, Masamune, who was late for Odawara, was confiscated from Kurokawa Castle in Aizu, and was reduced to the territory of his inheritance.
In this way, Masamune's conquest of South Oshu has returned to the beginning.
Wearing a white mourning dress on the armor of the late Siege of Odawara [ Shroud ] The episode that met Hideyoshi in appearance is famous.
Oshu punishment and incitement of rebellion
Oshu Punishment Hideyoshi, who finished the conquest of Odawara, is a territorial punishment in Oshu. to hold.
The contents are as follows ...
Did not participate in the conquest of Odawara
Akimitsu Ishikawa, Shigetsune Esashi, Harunobu Kasai, Yoshitaka Osaki, Yoshitada Waga, Hirotada Hienuki, Haru Kurokawa, Muneaki Tamura, Yoshichika Yuki Is easy disposal have become.
Reduction of seals
Date Masamune Is late to conquer Odawara And Aizu invasion violates the safe order As Ou 1.14 million stones From about 720,000 stones Reduced Did.
Shoryo Relief … A daimyo who joined Odawara and had a close friendship with Hideyoshi for some time.
Mogami Yoshiaki, Soma Yoshitane, Akita Sanesue, Tsugaru Tamenobu, Nanbu Nobunao, Tozawa Moriyasu
new seal
Gamo Ujisato … Aizu Kurokawa is given 420,000 stones, and will be increased to 920,000 stones the following year. This is thought to be a measure to give Ou a glare.
Yoshikiyo Kimura ... Kasai Osaki was given 300,000 stones, but he was blamed for the rebellion and changed.
This Oshu Punishment Then, the former vassals of Mr. Kasai and Mr. Osaki, who became reformed, express their dissatisfaction and cause Kasai Osaki Ikki. Masamune and Gamo Ujisato were dispatched to suppress this rebellion.
Masamune trouble here To do.
Masamune's vassal is Gamo Ujisato [ Masamune is instigating this rebellion! ] And complained. In addition, a secretary (Yuhitsu) who can be used near Masamune also brought a secretary addressed to Masamune Ikki.
There was also a report that the gun of the Masamune army was a blank gun. Upon receiving this report, Hideyoshi self-produced for Masamune to expand his territory as a credit for the suppression of the rebellion I thought it was.
The suppression of Ikki struggled unexpectedly and won, but it is not clear whether it actually instigated Ikki. It is also said that Masamune put it in his mouth because he gathered the masterminds of the rebellion and killed them all.
The true meaning of the incitement is unknown, but the territory of Masamune after the repression was confiscated by 400,000 stones Gamo Ujisato . Instead, Kasai and Osaki 300,000 stones, which were devastated by Ikki, will be given to Masamune.
Due to this punishment, the territory of the Date clan is in dire straits, and the demise of senior vassals will occur one after another. At one point, Masamune became the champion of South Oshu, but under the Toyotomi administration, he was forced into an unfavorable position.
Battle of Sekigahara and Hasedo in the Tohoku region
1598 , Gamo Ujisato died, and one of the five elders Kagekatsu Uesugi to prevent the weakening of the glares in the Tohoku region Was transferred from Echigo to Aizu.
Kagekatsu Uesugi Has been in conflict with its ally, Ieyasu Tokugawa, since he broke up with Nobunaga Oda in the place of Kenshin. Furthermore, after the Honnoji Incident, he became the five elders of the Toyotomi administration via Ishida Mitsunari, and had a close relationship with Mitsunari.
Date and Mogami The Uesugi family was the 1.2 million stone daimyo who made the glares.
1600 , Ieyasu Tokugawa is [ Naoe Kanetsugu of Uesugi family Shigeomi and Kanetsugu Naoe. ] I decided to attack Aizu. However, Mitsunari Ishida's troops Ieyasu, who received the news, begins to conquer the reversal Sansei.
In order for both Kagekatsu Uesugi and Mitsunari Ishida to pinch and shoot Ieyasu Tokugawa, it was necessary to hit Date / Top of Tohoku behind Uesugi. Against this background, Date &Mogami VS Uesugi The confrontation structure of is completed.
It was a difficult situation for the Tohoku group to hit Mr. Uesugi, the lord of 1.2 million stones.
However, Uesugi cannot attack and destroy the two strongest daimyo in Tohoku at once. Therefore, I made a plan to follow Mr. Mogami at first and then take in Mr. Date.
That said, the battle did not begin immediately, and Uesugi initially approached peace negotiations on the condition that Mr. Date and Mr. Mogami came under the control of Uesugi and marched to the Kanto region. However, when Uesugi learns that the top side is preparing for the war while earning time, Kanetsugu Naoe marches to Yamagata.
In this way, the Battle of Sekigahara in Tohoku is said to be [ Hasedo Battle . ] Will start.
Hasedo Castle The Mogami clan's vassal, Mitsuyasu Shimura, and 1000 soldiers were defending, but the Uesugi army's 18,000 troops were more than enough to attack the castle.
September 15 With overwhelming force, Kanetsugu Naoe attacks Hasedo Castle. The castle owner, Shimura, desperately prevents the onslaught of the Uesugi army while struggling. September 16 That night, Shimura recruited a suicide squad and launched a night attack on the Uesugi main camp, and achieved a battle result that put the Uesugi camp into turmoil.
September 17th Kanetsugu Naoe further attacked the castle, but the area around Hasedo was a deep muddy rice field, and neither people nor horses could act swiftly. The top army fired a salvo and kicked the Uesugi army there.
Subsequently, Kanetsugu provokes Shimura of Hasedo Castle, but fails.
September 21 Date clan Rusu Masakage dispatched from Arrived to the east of Yamagata Castle, and was about 2 km from the Uesugi army headquarters. Also, Mogami Yoshiaki Also departed from Yamagata Castle.
September 29 , Here Kanetsugu Naoe launches a total attack. Shimura of Hasedo Castle is still fighting well, and has achieved good results such as defeating the Uesugi warlords. However, on the same day, Sekigahara, the western army, Mitsunari Ishida, was defeated by the eastern army, Ieyasu Tokugawa . The news that he did was brought to Kanetsugu.
Kanetsugu Naoe tried to commit suicide on the spot, but Keijiro Maeda was by his side. I was given up and decided to withdraw. The next day, the results of Sekigahara will be announced to Date and the top, and the war situation will suddenly tilt to the Tohoku region.
October 1st When the Uesugi army begins to withdraw, the Mogami-Date Allied Forces start pursuing .. The fierce battle between the two armies killed many people. It was worth the success of Uesugi's Keijiro Maeda and Kanetsugu himself, and October 4 . I returned to Yonezawa Castle.
The momentum of the top turned to counterattack, October 1 Sagae / Shiraiwa / Aterazawa I got it back.
On the other hand, Date Masamune set out on his own, crossed the Kunimi Pass and proceeded south, and on October 6, he collided with the forces of Fukushima Castle and Shigenaga Honjo, but was defeated by the strong defense of Fukushima Castle. After that, he sent troops to capture Fukushima many times, but he could not recover it after all, and only 20,000 stones in Mutsu Province, Katta District, could be regained out of the 6 old territories.
After Sekigahara, Masamune's desired prize was dismissed after it was discovered that he instigated a riot in the southern territory and ordered his vassals to invade the southern territory. In the end, his territory was 600,000 stones and 20,000 stones in the enlave, for a total of 620,000 stones.
Date Masamune after the opening of the Edo Shogunate
After the Battle of Sekigahara, Masamune, who received permission from Ieyasu Tokugawa, was 1601 . Sendai Moved to and started the maintenance of the castle and castle town. Here, Sendai Domain whose ancestor is Date Masamune Was born.
Kokudaka 620,000 stones was the third largest in Japan after Maeda of the Kaga domain and Shimazu of the Satsuma domain. From the Shogunate, [Matsudaira] was given a surname [ Matsudaira Rikuokumori ] Was called.
Since the land of Sendai was created from scratch, it became a first-generation project that mobilized a total of 1 million people.
The domain reforms planned a trade with Espana, 1613 . In the territory of Sendai, a galleon was built with the cooperation of the envoy of King Philip III. With the permission of the Shogunate, Masamune sent more than 180 people, including Hasekura Tsunenaga, to Mexico, Espana, and Rome Keicho Mission to Europe . Was dispatched.
Siege of Osaka
1614 In the Osaka winter camp, he was appointed as the Yamatoguchi front army, and after the consensus was reached, he was in charge of the outer moat reclamation work of Osaka Castle. In December of the same year, Shogun Hidetada gave the territory to Uwajima-gun, Iyo Province.
1615 Osaka Summer Team Then, I will do something that has an impact.
Initially, Toyotomi's Goto Matabei Although he was active in driving himself into his own blade, Yukimura Sanada headed for relief. Retreat in response to the counterattack. After that, Masamune refused repeated requests for attacks on Sanada Corps, and Yukimura [ Kanto group has 1 million but no man . ] Was said.
In addition, Masamune commits a blunder that fires at his ally Mizuno Corps during this battle. Then, in the final battle of Tennoji, he shot 300 members of the Tokugawa Jinbo Aimo Corps and annihilated them.
The remnants of Jimbo protested against Masamune, but [ Jimbo Corps was completely destroyed by Akashi Corps, so he had no choice but to dispose of it to prevent his own army from being involved in it. There is no distinction between enemy and ally in the military law of Date ] It seems that he dismissed it.
Date Masamune's later years
After the destruction of the Toyotomi clan made the world of Tokugawa decisive and the situation settled down, Masamune focused on the domain reforms and later developed a canal called Sadayamabori. He also focused on the development of Nitta, cultivated the Kitakami River basin, and created a grain zone that continues to the present day. As a result, he secured an agricultural output equivalent to 745,000 kokudaka, compared to his 620,000 kokudaka.
In terms of culture, we actively adopted Kamigata culture, convened engineers and carpenters, and created a style that added the characteristics of northern countries to the majestic splendor characteristic of Momoyama culture, and created a style that added the characteristics of the northern country to the national treasure Osaki Hachimangu, Zuiganji Temple. , Also Shiogama Shrine, Mutsu-Kokubunji Yakushido I left a building such as.
He served the shogunate until the time of the third generation Iemitsu, and from Iemitsu [ Date's father ] Was loved. Masamune is also a good understanding of Iemitsu, and while the daimyo expressed dissatisfaction when enacting the change of attendance, [ If there is something against him, ask me to subdue it .> ] It is said that he offered to silence the daimyo.
In this way, Masamune in his later years gained a voice until he was called a deputy general while greatly developing the Sendai domain, but he began to complain of poor physical condition from around 1634, and his attendance was changed on May 24, 1636. During his stay in Edo, he died at the age of 68.
Immediately before his death, he declined the offer of his wife's sympathy [ Dateo It is said that he kept his appearance, befitting the name of】. Shogun Iemitsu mourned from the time his father Hidetada died, and it seems that killing and entertainment were banned for 7 days in Edo and 3 days in Kyoto, which is unusual except for the three families.
