Samurai of the Takeda Family

In the first month of the fifth year of Yongluo, when the Takeda family came closer and closer to Ueno.

　　 But at this moment, an event that seemed inconspicuous at the time, but had an extremely far-reaching impact on the entire history of the Warring States Period occurred. Tokugawa Ieyasu of the Nishi Mikawa Matsudaira family (now known as Matsudaira Ieyasu), relying on the relationship of his uncle Mizuno Nobumoto, and the Onaga Oda family established an alliance in Cheongju, historically known as the Cheongju Alliance.

　　 At this point, Ieyasu Tokugawa officially severed his affiliation with the Imagawa family, and concluded an agreement with the Oda family of Nobunaga Oda, and began a two decades-long back-to-back offensive and defensive alliance.

　　 It is said that Ieyasu Tokugawa was still a hostage at the Oda family, and Ieyasu and Nobunaga became friends.

At that time, Oda Nobunaga had ambitions in his eyes as later generations described, and he held Tokugawa Ieyasu's hand domineeringly. He waved his hand to the horizon and said, "Take Chiyo (the former name of Tokugawa Ieyasu), in the future You and I contend for the world, I will go to the west and you will go to the east."

　　 The lifelong friendship between the two began.

But ninety-nine percent of this story is bullshit, because Tokugawa Ieyasu was only six or seven years old, almost a preschooler, and Oda Nobunaga was already a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, and he was already a high school student at this age. . Can you believe that a high school student would say to a kid who can't even twist his nose, we will dominate the world together in the future? The rumor returned to the rumor, and later generations often referred to the first two as the three heroes of the Warring States Period. There is another one who is still Oda Nobunaga's subordinate, Kinoshita Tokichiro, who has not yet reached his head, and will be Taiko Toyotomi Hideyoshi in the future.

　　 In addition to approaching or accomplishing the goal of Japanese reunification in different ways, these three people belong to the same hometowns from Aichi Prefecture, Japan.

　　 There is a famous story in Japan, the title is, cuckoo does not sing, how to make it scream? The following is a quote from the three heroes. Oda Nobunaga said: It is not a pity to kill. Hideyoshi said: To induce it to sound. Jia Kang said: Don't wait for him.

　　 Japanese people often use these three sentences to reflect the different personalities, ways of doing things, and later destiny of the three people.

Oda Nobunaga was rebellious since he was a child, and belonged to the category of bad boys. Later he became a daimyo. He changed his mind. He killed the daimyo Imagawa Yoshimoto in a dreamlike way in Okashama, and captured the Mino Kenjo Castle Inabayama Castle. Later.

　　 He changed the name of Inabayama Castle to Gifu, imitating the story of King Zhou Wen, and starting to spread the world.

He acted for countless killings throughout his life. He claimed to be the sixth demon king, trampling on universal values ​​and morals. He has a posture of obedience to me and rebellion. At the same time, he is keen on new affairs, as long as he thinks something. If it is worth doing, it will actively try, and it belongs to the radical action group.

　　 And Toyotomi Hideyoshi was born in poverty, and there is no existing environment to rely on. Compared with Oda Nobunaga, Tokugawa Ieyasu and many other warring states, his starting point is the lowest. Toyotomi Hideyoshi ran around as a young man, served as the Iio and Matsushita clan, and finally officially qualified as a samurai under Oda Nobunaga.

　　As the first man to cast his place in the Warring States period, he emerged with his exquisite eloquence and unreasonable imagination, and gained the trust of his lord Nobunaga Oda, and he was promoted from a soldier to a great name in the country. After Nobunaga's death, he took the world with the wind and raging waves. (The above passage is from the introduction of Taige 5, personally like this passage)

　　 Of course, this world does not include it. Later, he relied on conquering North Korea to achieve the goal of conquering the world. This is also the mission of Li Xiao to change when he travels to Japan.

　　 As for Tokugawa Ieyasu, the last of the three heroes (in the order of unifying Japan), many people can only comment on him. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

　　Well, if you have to add a word, it is the number one ninjutsu in Japan and the number one among the three heroes of ‘vitality’.

　　I used the Japanese historical novelist Sima Ryotaro (this person is a right-winger through and through, and the novel is well written, but his character is not so good) once evaluated the status of Tokugawa Ieyasu and Toyotomi Hideyoshi in the minds of Japanese people.

　　 For example, if you tell a Japanese that he is like Toyotomi Hideyoshi, he will be humble on the surface, but he can't hide the joy in his heart.

But if you tell him that he is like Tokugawa Ieyasu, even if he does not quarrel with you in person, he will definitely scold you in his heart. You are like Tokugawa Ieyasu, and you and your mother are like Tokugawa Ieyasu, you him ( Harmony) Mom and the whole family are like Tokugawa Ieyasu.

　　 Unlike the habit of worshiping the founding father in most countries, the Japanese are more sympathetic to losers.

　　 Among contemporary opponents, such as the Genpei battle, the Japanese will remember Kiso Yoshinaka, known as the Japanese Xiang Yu, but not the victor's first shogun Gen Yoshizō.

　　 In the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Japanese regarded Nanmu Masanori, who called the Seven Lives to serve the country, as the **** of war, and dismissed the Ashikaga Takashi who founded the Muromachi Shogunate.

　　 In the Sekihara battle, Sanada Yukimura, who defeated the Tokugawa army's main formation with a decisive assault, had a much higher status in the minds of the Japanese than Ieyasu Tokugawa.

　　 In fact, it’s not complicated to think about it, just like the Japanese favorite sung at Dun Mori, the world is fifty years old, compared with the heavens and the earth, but a small thing. Looking at the world, dreams are like water, letting life go for a time, and then passing away.

It is precisely because the Japanese have a habit of sorrowing and mourning all day long. The sympathy for the losers is closer to their daily oppression of reality and the depressed reality. Therefore, they love to appreciate the beautiful but short-lived cherry blossoms, but No one cares about the stubborn vitality, the heavy snow is like a straight green pine.

　　 Therefore, he also has the spiritual realm advocated in Bushido, reaches the peak of his life in a moment of dazzling beauty, and exerts his greatest value, and then ends his life without nostalgia. Yes, since it can't wither at the most glorious time, the old tortoises who live the longest are left, so Ieyasu Tokugawa will have to drink. In "Tokugawa Ieyasu" written by Yamaokaso eight, on the eve of the death of his eldest son Matsuhira Nobunaga, Nobunaga Oda secretly visits his father, which is regarded as a final farewell. Shinyasu cried a lot, but the only reaction of Tokugawa Ieyasu, who is now a famous name in the five countries, was silence. After Shinyasu finally saw hopeless death and cried away, Tokugawa Ieyasu burst into tears.

　　 The only miserable defeat in Tokugawa Ieyasu's life was a battle against the Takeda family's Mikatahara. After the defeat of the Tokugawa army, he was frightened to pull dung on the horse when he fleeed on horseback. UU reading www.uukanshu.com, he lets people draw a picture of their sadness on the spot and hang them in the room so that they can see them all the time. The portrait is called the "image of fringe" and it still exists today. Tokugawa Ieyasu was thrifty and thrifty throughout his life. Even after he unified the Warring States period and became a "people of the world," he ate very frugally. He rarely ate fish. He ate pickled radishes and white rice every day.

　　 Tokugawa Ieyasu is not only stingy with himself, but also with others. Once he was hanging out at home and heard a maid complaining privately that the food now is really bad, and the only side dishes are pickled radishes. After listening to it, Ieyasu Tokugawa smiled and said, okay, since you don’t like it, don’t eat it. From then on, the maid of the Tokugawa family even canceled the pickled radish as a side dish and ate rice every day.

　　 This is the Tokugawa Ieyasu. Someone asked him once: "What is the treasure of the Tokugawa family?" Ieyasu replied, "Five hundred samurai riders."

　　 In the Tokaido area, there are people from Yuanjiang who go to grow food, people from Sanhe go to war, and people from Suruga are singing folk songs at banquets all day long. It can be seen that the Mikawa Warriors are famous in Japan for their bravery and fighting skills.

After the Mikata war, Baba Shinbo finished inspecting the battlefield and said to Takeda Shingen: "When I saw the body of the Mikawa Army, all those who fell toward our army were face down, and those who fell toward Hamamatsu were all face-down. Above, this shows that these soldiers were killed when they rushed forward, and none of them were beheaded because they wanted to escape."

　　In the battle of Nagaso, the Oda Tokugawa Allied Forces had 38,000 people, of which 30,000 were Oda Army, and the Tokugawa Army had only 8,000. After the war, the first rank of Takeda Army was captured by the prosecution, and the two armies harvested the same amount.

In the first month of the fifth year of Yongluo, when the Takeda family focused their energy on the Uesugi family, the Tokugawa Oda Alliance, the biggest threat to them in the future, has been established and will rise in the future. This military alliance will hinder Takeda in the future. The biggest obstacle to Xinxuan Shangluo.
