Compared to his poor relatives who were in a mess, Mogami Yoshimitsu's performance was excellent. During the Oshu War, he also received orders to be responsible for conquering the daimyo in both the north and south directions of Dewa Country at the same time. First, he assisted the Ashikaga Army in conquering Date Terubune and
The successful suppression of the Date clan, through the use of tactics such as intimidation and murder, objectively accelerated the pace of the Date clan's surrender.
Of course, it further deepens the hatred between Date Terumune and Mogami Yoshimitsu. Date Terumune did not dare to hate Ashikaga Yoshitoki nor did he dare to hate Uesugi Kenshin. Then he could only hate Mogami Yoshimitsu who acted as a lackey. It is a pity for Date Terumune
It's the Goyuu clan, and Mogami Yoshimitsu is the Gomon Ye clan. Date Terubong's 150,000 and Mogami Yoshimitsu's 300,000 are a bit far behind each other. I can only say that this hatred does not make much sense. It's completely
There is no hope of victory in sight.
Date Terumune was only in charge of the reserve team in this Oshu war, and the front line did not intend to let him get involved at all. The responsibilities shouldered by Mogami Yoshimitsu were much more important. He was responsible for leading the Senhoku San
The county's army launched a simultaneous attack on Hahou, and Naito Masashige acted as the vanguard and led the army to attack the Onodera clan's territory.
The tug-of-war that started started from the fifth year of Eiroku to the ninth year of Eiroku, including participating in the entire process of conquering the Yonezaida clan. During the four years of intermittence, Mogami Yoshimitsu did not fight an earth-shattering battle.
, just gradually gaining strategic advantage through a series of small victories is a very clever approach.
The number of troops invested in each battle does not exceed 10,000, and it is usually a low- to medium-intensity battle between 2,000 and 8,000. The total number of casualties on both sides usually does not exceed 200. This small victory seems unremarkable at first glance.
But it contains effective steps to make progress little by little. Warring States daimyo are usually unwilling to engage in battle, and it is usually difficult for both sides to invest all their wealth in fighting to the end. It will never be used like this unless desperate.
Just like Ashikaga Yoshitoki, every time he sends a large army into Mutsu Province to attack, most of the people in Mutsu Province adopt a posture of passive resistance, that is, if you come to attack, I will hold on and pretend not to see it. The only thing that can be called
Date Terumune, who had organized resistance, was beaten so much that he abandoned his armor and fled in panic. Since then, there has never been a large-scale battle in Oshu. After discovering the information that the Ashikaga Army was dispatched in large numbers, the people of Oshu turned around like dexterous rabbits.
Just run.
Mogami Yoshimitsu used small competitions and small-scale battles to gradually wear down the main military strength of the Onodera family, and then used military deception and other methods to effectively reduce the vigilance of the Onodera army generals, giving them the illusion that they could hold on and defeat them.
, every time I feel that I just lost a game due to carelessness, thinking that I can come back after regrouping.
It wasn't until Onodera Kagemichi realized that the dominance of the three Senhoku counties had dropped significantly, and only one and a half of them still listened to his greetings, that he became anxious. At this time, Mogami Yoshimitsu invited Onodera Kagemichi to meet at Salonobu Castle to discuss the surrender. Onodera
After thinking about it, Kagedo thought that this was a good opportunity to take advantage of the donkey on the slope, so he rushed to Salonobu Castle with several hundred Hatamoto to meet Mogami Yoshimitsu.
After a few years, I met Mogami Yoshimitsu again. Onodera Kagemichi still felt that the young man in front of him was still the little kid with no hair at all. During the dinner, he said many arrogant, rude and inappropriate words.
Mogami Yoshimitsu listened calmly to his requests for peace, and then smiled and promised him to think about it before giving an answer. There was no hint of resentment or irritation in his words.
Onodera Kagemichi felt that he had figured out the pulse of Mogami Yoshimitsu. So he felt relaxed and drank a lot of wine at the banquet that night. He did not go to bed until midnight. When Onodera Kagemichi's attendant opened the door the next morning, he saw
Onodera Kagemichi died in his bedroom with a ferocious look on his face and in pain. The Mogami family medical officer who arrived later made an examination and concluded that he had died from excessive drinking.
Of course, this reason cannot be accepted by the Hatamoto samurai of the Onodera family. They have always believed that the tragic death of Onodera Kagemichi must be caused by Mogami Yoshimitsu. Combined with his history of assassinating rebel forces and the Date family tree, it is possible that
Reasons to believe that there is something wrong with the sudden death of Onodera Kagemichi who was in good health.
How could Mogami Yoshimitsu admit that he poisoned Onodera Kagemichi? Believe it or not, when the Onodera family's Hatamoto clan was planning to raid Salonobu Castle, the Mogami family samurai had quietly killed the people who were inspecting it.
Onodera was cremated at Keimichi, but when Onodera's retainers realized something was wrong, they only received a clay pot of ashes.
In the afternoon of that day, the Onodera clan's 500 bannermen, led by the clan elder, raided Salonobu Castle. The well-prepared Naito Masashige set up a trap and lured them all into the small urn built inside the castle. A barrage of iron cannons and arrows were devastating.
They all were killed. Not only did they take the governor of the house, but they also sent all the elite members of the Onodera clan to hell.
As a result, the Onodera family fell into a comprehensive decline. Onodera Hidechi, who succeeded to the throne in a hurry, was just the concubine of Onodera Keimichi. He had neither enough prestige and strength nor the preparation and consciousness to serve as a governor. Faced with the mysterious death of the governor and the distribution of the public and the elite
Due to the tragic loss of Hatamoto, Onodera Hidichi could not find any other solution except anger and hesitation.
Onodera's army, whose morale had plummeted, was no match for Naito Masashige. They were defeated again and again until they retreated to Yokote Castle and resisted. Less than three months later, the rebels in the city rebelled and forcibly opened the gates.
The retainers and hundreds of remaining troops retreated to the Honmaru Castle Tower, trying to use these few remaining troops to make a final resistance.
This battle was not intense but extremely bloody. The Onodera family still accumulated many loyal and brave warriors for more than ten generations. They defended Honmaru and fought fiercely for a day and night. It was not until the last moment of the battle that Onodera Hidechi, who was seriously injured, committed seppuku.
, the remnants of the Onodera clan set fire to the castle tower and buried the main family, and the Senhoku Onodera clan was expelled.
It took Mogami Yoshimitsu four years to conquer the Han Queen. He still has a long way to go before he can conquer the Anton clan. Such a fast pace of strategy is due to the strong support of Ashikaga Yoshitoki behind the scenes. Mogami Yoshimitsu changed to Mogami.
It would be very difficult for Yoshimitsu to annex the Onodera clan using the little territory he had in front of him. In addition, considering the interference from the Onodera clan's allies, it might take twenty or thirty years to succeed.
Relying on partial divisions to conquer Deyu is not very efficient. In terms of the level of chaos, the Kanto samurai may be better than the Yuou people, but in terms of stubbornness, the Yuou daimyo may be slightly better. This is not a place where rebellions occur every three days in Kinai.
, let alone the super overlords of seven or eight territorial kingdoms who often appear in the Western Kingdom. The northeastern famous names of Yu and Austria may have troubles, but most of the time they still stubbornly stick to their own habits and concepts, which have not changed even for hundreds of years.
Pass.
The xenophobia was so strong that a large number of relatives of the Ashikaga family went to Oshu and beat Mutsu country into a pot of porridge, but it still failed to completely change the situation of Yu'ao being scattered.
Part of Oshu's influence exists, but mostly the dominance system has not changed since the Heian period.
The further north you go, the less the so-called village system becomes. Most of the territories still stubbornly maintain the manor-style social relations such as the local lords and village officials. This manor system gradually collapsed as early as the late Kamakura period and entered the Muromachi Warring States period.
During this period, a large number of peasants, led by some enlightened local servants, obtained village autonomy, thus kicking off part of the Warring States period.
However, the situation in remote places such as Yuao is completely different. The samurai families in many places seem to be living in the Heian Era. Probably the biggest difference from the Heian Era is the collapse of the lordship system. Geographical influences have begun to frequently interfere with bloodline dominance. This
It is also a major manifestation of the Warring States Period.
For example, when the Date clan was strong, they were divided into the Osaki clan, the Kasai clan, the Watari clan, the Murata clan, the Kokubu clan, the Ishikawa clan, the Ryugo clan, and the Iwaki clan. Among them, some failed to succeed and some succeeded, but one thing is that among them
Except for the Rugou clan, none of the samurai families are from the Date clan. Among them are the Mutsu Ishikawa clan who are descended from the Yamato Genji clan, the Kokubu clan and the Watari clan who are descended from the Bando Taira clan, as well as indigenous origins such as Iwaki Kunizo.
The Murata clan is a wealthy samurai family with unknown origins.
Starting from the Warring States Period, a new trend in Japanese samurai society gradually emerged, which was that it did not pay attention to the role of bloodline as a leader, and samurai families of different families and bloodlines were adopted in a messy manner. Many famous clans that were still preserved in the Edo period were replaced by some
The messy clans were adopted and even their bloodline was gone.
It's okay to worship other people's ancestors under the name of another family, but it's really uneducated and not afraid of being embarrassed. It's like a turtle using the name of the Serada family, a tributary of the Nitta clan and a tributary of the Kawa clan. The priest is not his ancestor at all.
Hachiman Taro Minamoto no Yoshie was not a direct descendant of the Kawachi Genji family at all. Even his fake ancestor, Tokawa Yoshiki, did not dare to change the character "Yi" to the direct descendant of the Kawachi Genji family after he became a shogun. This shows how weak his heart is.
This shows how serious the destruction of the order of the samurai family was due to the collapse of the lordship system based on blood. The samurai generally did not pay attention to the sense of family honor and emphasized the preservation of the family name. Anyway, they themselves were not direct descendants of the family.
, you can just find someone to be your adopted heir, and you don’t have to worry about whether the family tradition can be preserved in the future. How sincere the outsiders are to the family, it’s hard to say whether they just love the name of the family governor or the knowledge and practice of the land that the family name brings.
.
Ashikaga Yoshitoki's military campaign against Oshu had several purposes: to seize territory and establish absolute control over the two countries, and to abandon the old custom of geographical interference in blood relations. He would never allow these chaotic samurai to adopt his family in the future.
, so the behavior of a wild child with the name Miao who can inherit the name of a famous family must be strictly prohibited. To change this unhealthy trend, we must start with Kanto and Yuao.
