Toyotomi Hideyoshi In this era, both mass management and battles are organized . Has been sought.
From the era when armed forces are important, bureaucratic military commanders who are good at political affairs are required I will stand out. When he was serving Nobunaga Oda, he was said to be the left side of the spear [ Toshiie Maeda By the time he learned arithmetic skills and became a daimyo, he grew up as a manager of both Bunbu and Budo.
This time, I would like to highlight Mitsunari Ishida and Takatora Todo among such people.
Mitsunari Ishida fought well in Sekigahara thanks to his talented vassals.
The battle of Sekigahara, which is the division of the world, is Ieyasu Tokugawa VS Mitsunari Ishida The two armies clashed in Sekigahara, making full use of the strategy of. At the beginning of the war, both the East and West forces were on par with each other, but many of the West forces were close to Tokugawa, and many were actively participating in the battle itself.
The Ishida Mitsunari army has fought well until the end and has repeatedly pushed back the onslaught of the enemy. How could Sansei, who was once said to be a poor warrior, have a good fight in Sekigahara?
" There are two things that are just too few, Sakon on the island and Sawayama Castle
As the song " Shima Sakon " remains in Mitsunari Ishida ] Was always present. According to one theory, Sansei, who was a small daimyo of 40,000 stones, half of Roku and Sanko's thanks . It is said that it was Shima Sakon who was a professional in the war who welcomed him as a vassal.
Because he was excellent not only in armed force but also in tactical eyes, Ishida's [ military master ] It seems that he played a role. The Battle of Sekigahara [ Kuisegawa Battle ], Leading the West Army to victory and raising morale. After that, I planned a night attack, but it did not happen because Sansei rejected it.
Shima Sakon in the main battle of Sekigahara Although he was injured in the early stages, he continued to sortie and was prepared to die. ], And those with swords say that they didn't remember standing because of the horror of Sakon.
If you are a human resource like Sakon, there must have been many contractors other than Mitsunari Ishida, but Mitsunari's single-minded heart I think he grabbed Sakon's heart and led to his work in the Battle of Sekigahara.
In addition, the Ishida family has Mai Hyogo, Gamo Gosha, Gamo Yorisato, Sugie Kanbei, Isono Heisaburo, Irie Gonzaemon, Obata Nobuyo . Such a military commander was a vassal. Each was a military commander known for his bravery, but they all had something in common.
It is restructuring in Toyotomi Hideyoshi's unification project It was all the people who were done.
The circumstances of becoming a ronin were also punished in connection with the Shuji incident . And Gamo's vassals who were punished for the problem of successor to Gamo Ujisato who died at a young age was. While disposing of them at the behest of Hideyoshi, Sansei was reaching out to help behind the scenes.
These Sansei-saved vassals follow the Ishida family until the end Some were smashed, and some were loyal to the withdrawal of allies. As a result, I lost in Sekigahara, but I succeeded in creating an organization that can survive even in extreme conditions.
Job history of Todo Takatora, a military commander who changed jobs during the Warring States period
Many of the Western army daimyo who lost the battle in Sekigahara will be subject to decapsulation and crushing, and those who survived will be forced to manage the feudal clan under the Tokugawa administration as a foreign daimyo. I did.
Among them, let's highlight Todo Takatora, who has succeeded in changing jobs seven times.
Takatora from Ohmi is Azai Nagamasa Atsuji Sadayuki To serve. After that, Isono Kazumasa who served the Oda clan. Serves with 80 stones *.
* It seems that the current amount of money was about 6 million yen per year.
However, when Isono bought Nobunaga's anger and went to Mt. Koya, Nobuzumi Oda was the castle lord. However, he soon became a ronin. The next person to serve was Hideyoshi's younger brother, Toyotomi Hidenaga . And as it is, the firstborn Hideyasu However, he decides to retire to Mt. Koya because of his early life.
However, he was recalled by Hideyoshi, who had heard of his success under Hidenaga, and was active in the Kishu expedition and the dispatch of Korean troops. He showed his talent.
After Hideyoshi's death, Ieyasu Tokugawa I approached and left Hideyori to serve Ieyasu.
Takatora has a close relationship with Ieyasu, and Ieyasu also highly valued Takatora's talent for building a castle. When Ieyasu handed over a building different from the blueprint when he built the Tokugawa Ieyasu mansion in the former Jurakudai residence, Takatora noticed a design defect and changed the design at his own discretion and paid for it at his own expense. There is an anecdote left behind.
If something happens to Ieyasu in his own architecture, His Imperial Highness Taiko will be disappointed. It seems that Ieyasu's heart was stabbed by a messenger who wanted him to take care of him if there were any deficiencies.
Takatora, who has a track record of changing jobs seven times, looks at the surroundings and attaches to a convenient person, so weathercock Many disliked it, but he is also known as a person who is deep in his righteousness. In fact, Takatora himself has never betrayed his allies and once had a hard time Isono Kazumasa . Child of Yushin Is also collected as a vassal.
Finally ...
What can be said from this article is that when you get the human resources you really want, you don't have to worry about money, and people can show their power not only with money but also with faith behind it even in times of difficulty. ..
Although Mitsunari Ishida and Takatora Todo seemed to be hard-working, they firmly evaluated the human resources behind the scenes, reached out, and rewarded their loyalty to gain the loyalty of their vassals. Isn't that why we were able to win the trust of the people of the world? ??
