" Kawanakajima the battle of"-.
A demon's placket and a helmet with white hair fluttering, a gunbai in his hand, and a demon's appearance Takeda Shingen Mr. Miss.
White hood and white horse, drawn in a handsome style Kenshin Uesugi Mr. Miss.
Isn't the depiction of these two people facing each other quite famous?
Eternal rival The relationship between the two depicted in is set in this "Battle of Kawanakajima".
This time, I will introduce what the "Battle of Kawanakajima" was like.
What triggered the Battle of Kawanakajima!
Kai Province
(Yamanashi Prefecture) Sengoku daimyo Shingen Takeda Is expanding power Invaded Shinano (Nagano Prefecture) aiming for.
He goes north and captures Shinano Province.
When we attacked Kawanakajima, north of Shinano Province, Kenshin Uesugi finally appeared . ..
Echigo country Kenshin, who ruled (Niigata Prefecture), will support him because he has a relative relationship with those who rule Kita Shinano.
In the "Battle of Kawanakajima", Shingen fought to expand his territory, and Kenshin fought to protect it.
In 12 years, we will meet at "Kawanakajima" 5 times!
The Battle of Kawanakajima has happened five times. This is the reason why it is called a rival.
By the way, each other's names are still " Harunobu Takeda " And " Keitora Nagao It's called.
It's hard to understand, so let's go with Shingen-san and Kenshin-san, who everyone knows.
The first battle of Kawanakajima. Shingen 32 years old, Kenshin 23 years old.
When Mr. Takeda vs. Mr. Kita Shinano and Mr. Murakami were fighting, Mr. Murakami asks Mr. Kenshin for support.
The composition is different from Takeda vs Uesugi, but it wasn't such a big battle, and they pulled soldiers to each other in about a month.
Both are battles that have achieved their purpose. Draw You can say that.
The 2nd Battle of Kawanakajima. Shingen 34 years old, Kenshin 25 years old.
Shingen will form an alliance with Sengoku daimyo Imagawa and Hojo.
Mr. Hojo was in conflict with Mr. Kenshin, so it can be said that it is an alliance for that purpose.
The conflict between Shingen-san and Kenshin-san deepened further, and the second outbreak broke out.
We will continue to face each other for a long period of over 200 days.
However, this time too, it will not be a big battle, and we will reconcile with Mr. Imagawa's mediation.
Again draw is not it.
The 3rd Battle of Kawanakajima. Shingen 36 years old, Kenshin 27 years old.
Kenshin "Takeda's destruction" at the shrine before the battle I pray for. I am motivated this time.
Mr. Hojo came to join Mr. Shingen. Shingen is also motivated.
However, this time too, it was not a big battle.
Muromachi Shogunate 13th Shogun Yoshiteru Ashikaga The war ended because he wanted to get the help of Kenshin when a big incident occurred. This time, we are reconciled with the mediation of the shogun.
Again draw Probably.
The production of "Battle of Kawanakajima" is the 4th time! !!
The 4th Battle of Kawanakajima. Shingen 40 years old. Kenshin 31 years old.
This is the only major battle. Generally speaking, the Battle of Kawanakajima refers to this battle.
Kenshin is Saijosan in the southern part of the Nagano Basin. I will set up in.
Upon hearing the news, Shingen-san Chausuyama ) in the west of the Nagano Basin. I will set up in. There is also a theory that he entered Shiozaki Castle, which faces Saijosan across the Chikuma River.
After that, Kaizu ) in the north of Saijosan. I entered the castle.
As the glares continue, Shingen's vassals devise a plan.
Divide the soldier into two and make a surprise attack from behind the Uesugi army of Saijosan.
It is a strategy in which the main corps ambush the Uesugi army coming down the mountain regardless of victory or defeat.
This is Tori
"Woodpecker tactics" It is named.
As an aside, people at that time thought that the woodpecker's habits were so, but it seems that the woodpecker does not take such insects.
However, Kenshin was conversely seeing this Shingen's plan. I had already gone down the mountain while the fog was thick at night.
Around 8 am When the fog cleared, the Uesugi corps, which could not have been there, appeared in front of me, the Takeda headquarters collapsed, and Shigeomi Takeda and others killed one after another. I will do it.
The famous scene of Shingen-san and Kenshin-san is the very moment when Takeda Honjin was disturbed.
Around 10 am , The battle situation changed completely when the Takeda Betsutai arrived! This time, the Uesugi army will be pinched and shot and will be inferior.
The Uesugi army was forced to withdraw, and the Takeda army also withdrew around 4 pm.
It was a fierce battle with more than 7,000 dead ..
Each other claims victory, but "first half Uesugi, second half Takeda" It will be a place like that. That means draw is not it.
The 5th Battle of Kawanakajima. Shingen 43 years old, Kenshin 34 years old.
It ends with a two-month glare. Draw is.
It means that there will never be a match that depends on Kawanakajima's five times.
This is nothing more than a rival, isn't it?
Is the 4th Battle of Kawanakajima a story of creation?
The only material left is the Gunki Monogatari, which may have been exaggerated . There is.
It is certain that there was a fierce battle here at this time.
Takeda Army's "Woodpecker Tactics" The Uesugi army who saw it was actually a creation, and in fact, the two armies happened to meet in a deep fog "Unexpected encounter theory" Is a fairly influential theory.
Reality is as simple as this when you open the lid.
Furthermore, in the scene where the two fight together, Shingen says that the opponent he was fighting against is not Kenshin but someone else in the Uesugi army.
There was a difference in the materials left by Takeda and Uesugi.
According to Takeda's historical materials, it was Kenshin-san who fought against Shingen-san, and later it was discovered that it was Kenshin-san.
In Uesugikata's historical materials, there is definitely the name of another person who is not Kenshin.
Later Tokugawa Shogunate Ieyasu Tokugawa He is said to have made it with Mr., and "Honnoji Incident" Oda Nobunaga Akechi Mitsuhide Amami Witnessed this battle on Kawanakajima.
When Amami told Shingen about that time, "That was a shadow warrior, not me!" I gave a different answer.
Everyone has changed it for their own convenience, isn't it?
However, enjoying many theories about history is a kind of real pleasure, isn't it?
