A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

"What are the details! Tell me in detail!"

Taira didn't remember Mikawa's affairs very clearly, but he was sure that Matsudaira Ieyasu was fine. He finally successfully suppressed Ikke and unified most of Mikawa.

However, Mikawa had always known Xiaoping Tai's memory of how the two sides interacted and how they battled wits and courage during the one year period was somewhat vague.

Okazaki Castle, the headquarters of the Anjo Matsudaira clan, was run by three generations: Matsudaira Kiyoyasu, Matsudaira Hirotada, and Matsudaira Ieyasu. Among them, Imagawa Yoshimoto greatly strengthened and repaired it. In terms of city defense level, it is definitely not bad, far better than ordinary walled cities.

Matsudaira Ieyasu in the city had several hardcore thugs. The Okubo family who started the rebellion with his grandfather was one of the most hardcore members and would never surrender to the enemy.

As for the other Torii, Ishikawa and others, since they have gained power in the Matsudaira family, they will not abandon their existing power to rebel and seize power.

Then his city is in a strange state!

Aji drank two bowls of hot tea one after another and felt relieved. He handed the slightly wet coat to his sister Xiaonai and asked her to help dry it. He himself stretched his hand towards the fire pit, warming himself while talking.

Sanhe's Yikui is actually a general outburst of the Chinese people's Yikui, the local Yikui and the Xiang Yikui. Matsudaira Ieyasu managed the country in such a terrible way. He had never seen another Daimyo Koheta who was so angry and resentful that the whole country turned against him.

From temples to town residents, from fields to farmers, from lords to local tycoons, they all rose up in droves to oppose the rule of Matsudaira Ieyasu. Matsudaira Ieyasu, who was able to unite everyone from all walks of life, levels, and identities to resist, was in a sense a "hero".

It's easy to offend one person, it's easy to offend a group of people, it's easy to offend the entire Three Rivers Kingdom! Awesome!

The Yikui Army began to merge on a large scale in the early stages of the uprising. As soon as everyone heard that they were going to beat Matsudaira Ieyasu, they gathered around as if they were going on an outing together.

Mikawa's original shogunate, thanks to the blessing of Imagawa Yoshimoto, killed half of Matsudaira Ieyasu in Bamianshan, and the most powerful Chinese nobles had their heads shaved by Taiyuan Xuezhai Zen Master. The rest are just cats and dogs, or rookies with average or lower strength.

But a rookie is a rookie, and everyone must understand the truth that the ants will kill the elephant.

Watanabe Moritsuna, Haeya Sadji, Natsume Yoshinobu, Naito Kiyonaga, Kato Kyouaki [Note 1], Ina Tadie [Note 2], Kira Yoshiaki, Arakawa Yoshihiro, Ishikawa Jurozaemon, Watanabe Takatsuna , Yada Sakujuro and other countless Mikawa samurai took actions hostile to Matsudaira Ieyasu.

The two sides fought fiercely back and forth. In the early days, although a group of troops rose up and attacked Okazaki Castle, their troops were too weak to capture Okazaki suddenly. After missing this great opportunity, Mikawa and his troops turned to attack the branch castles that were still loyal to Matsudaira Ieyasu.

Matsudaira Ieyasu had no choice but to gather troops to protect Okazaki first. Therefore, the Songping City of Nishisanhe slowly fell one by two. On the surface, everyone seemed to be victorious, but the crisis began to lurk.

It was originally a group of people who gathered to resist tyranny. Their flag-bearers were mainly two people, one was Matsudaira Michiharu of the Sakurai Matsudaira clan, and the other was Yoshiaki Kira, the lord of Tojo Castle, and his compatriot Yoshihiro Arakawa.

When the two of them fought together against Matsudaira Ieyasu, they were able to put aside their prejudices and ride out the same boat for the time being. But seeing that Matsudaira Ieyasu was about to end, the two parties inevitably began to divide the spoils unevenly and internal strife continued.

Originally, the Matsudaira clan started a rebellion that year, and the Kira clan was beaten to the point where they cried for their father and mother. The deep hatred between Matsudaira Michiharu and Kira Yoshiaki for three generations, now that the situation is good, they are about to flip the table and fight.

Although Matsudaira Ieyasu is just starting out, he is also aware of the conflicts within the group. He is determined to win one after another and the people who share the spoils unevenly will temporarily retreat after the snowfall and start a war of words to grab the fruits of victory.

Therefore, some of the retainers who were originally reunited in Okazaki were sent home by him. After all, Okazaki Castle was not rich either, and a few thousand mouths could eat up Matsudaira Ieyasu.

The most important one among them is the Okubo Party of Okubo Tadashi. His family's home city is Kamiwada Castle. Due to its strong strength, it withstood the attack of the Ichiku people. Now Okubo Tadashi has returned with his troops, and everything is safe.

But a month ago, the snow in Mikawa was not as heavy as that in Shinano. A group of people led by Yada Sakujuro and others made a surprise attack on Wada Castle. Unfortunately, this one was so bad that it made Tadashi Okubo break out in a cold sweat.

Shanghotan City was not captured, and they were unable to advance and were unwilling to retreat. Yikui found the people in a dilemma below the city.

Okubo Tadashi gave full play to his subjective initiative and wrote to Matsudaira Ieyasu: "I have one or two thousand rookies in the city, who are very useless. We should work together to kill him. This will not only create a bad breath, but also boost the morale of our side."

Matsudaira Ieyasu saw that what he said made sense, and immediately sent Ishikawa Sumasa and a few others to investigate and confirm that all the people under Kamiwada Castle were really rookies and did not look like an army.

Then do it!

Matsudaira Ieyasu led a thousand soldiers, and Okubo Tadashi led four hundred soldiers, attacking from both sides. He directly beat Sakujuro Yada away. More than a thousand people were killed and wounded, and hundreds of people were killed and wounded. The rest were scattered.

Matsudaira Ieyasu was happy. After two months, he finally let go of his bad breath and won a victory. It dampened the arrogance of the Yikui people and strengthened the Songping Army's will to resist.

While Matsudaira Ieyasu and Okubo Tadashi were happily cleaning the battlefield and sorting out the seized supplies, Torii Motodaka, who stayed behind in Okazaki, surrendered with the remaining troops after being defeated.

Matsudaira Ieyasu was shocked when he asked!

Okazaki fell!

After asking again, he sighed in despair!

The two brothers Honda Yahachi and Honda Miya spread the news to the public in advance that Matsudaira Ieyasu secretly transferred part of the money and food to Kamiwada Castle. The reason was that they were preparing for the spring war.

Sure enough, he gathered a lot of profit-seeking people among the crowd, and under the leadership of Yata Sakujuro, they happily went to Wada Castle by surprise. The rabble is very realistic.

Honda Yahachi had already persuaded the master of Mikawa Honjoji Temple. After Honda Yayasu confirmed that Matsudaira Ieyasu was going to rescue Wada Castle, he directly led hundreds of monk soldiers and more than 2,000 Ichikui people to raid Okazaki.

The city is broken!

[Note 1]: There is no need to pay attention to this person. He is a bit player within a bit player, the kind who disappears as soon as he appears. But he had a son, Kato Yoshiaki, the 400,000-koku daimyo of Mutsu Aizu, was his son. Mikawa has always lost more than one or two talents.

[Note 2]: That’s right, the name looks very similar, Ina Chuji’s biological father. Another boss's father, don't pay too much attention to it, just appear once and that's it.
