Trends of each daimyo family immediately after the change of Honnoji

1582 , Akechi Mitsuhide Honnoji Incident due to the rebellion of However, in the same year due to Hideyoshi's big return to China, Battle of Yamazaki The rebel Mitsuhide will be defeated at. After that, Battle of Shizugatake Hideyoshi Hashiba Is Katsuie Shibata, the chief retainer of the Oda clan It takes about a year to succeed the Oda clan.

Meanwhile, Mori Terumoto and Uesugi Kagekatsu What were the daimyo such as?

Did you try to recapture the territory as an opportunity for the Oda clan, who was absent from Nobunaga? Or did each daimyo no longer have that power?

Today, I would like to write about Japan immediately after the change of Honnoji, taking into account the situation of each daimyo.

The situation of each daimyo family after the change of Honnoji

The power of the Oda clan is divided into the Hashiba clan and the Shibata clan, Ieyasu Tokugawa If you are fighting Hojo in the Koshin region without any involvement, I feel that Mouri had the power to fight Hashiba and Uesugi had the power to fight Shibata, but what about the actual situation?

In Shikoku, what was the situation of each daimyo immediately after the change of Honnoji, with Chosokabe also ahead?

The Mori family was full of the Oda family's attack on China ...

Immediately after Honnoji, the Mori clan was up x 2 due to a conflict with the Oda clan.

This is a military separation Separation of soldiers and farming against the Mori clan who could not As a result of the Oda clan attacking regardless of the season, the Mori clan immediately after the peace was full. In addition, many people responded to the Oda clan by the arrangement by Hideyoshi.

Therefore, the peace negotiations at Bichu Takamatsu Castle may have been successful.

Even in Chugoku Otsuka, the Mori clan is the main warrior Kikkawa Motoharu Insisted on pursuit, while moderate Kobayakawa Takakage Insists on waiting for the situation because of the establishment of a peace treaty, and has forgotten the pursuit. Council of Five Elders after Toyotomi administration Takakage Kobayakawa If you look at the place where is included, maybe there was some kind of transaction behind the scenes.

The Uesugi family wasn't there because of the rebellion in Shibata ...

Uesugi is a new Tada family It was the first decision to put in the civil war.

The Shin-Hatsuda family was originally a vassal of the Uesugi family. 1579 Shibata Nagaatsu Died of illness and his younger brother heavy family Has taken over. However, he was dissatisfied with the fact that he was not given a reward at the Siege of Otate's Distinguished Service Award, and he plans to rebel against Kagekatsu Uesugi.

First of all, the Oda clan that had progressed to Etchu at that time. And tie hands. Kai's Takeda Katsuyori When Nobunaga started to advance to Echigo via Shinano, Shigeya invaded Kiba Castle in response to this. The Ashina clan of Aizu, who had been neutral until now, will also be subordinate to Nobunaga, and Kagekatsu Uesugi Is state of four-sided song Will be.

However, the 1582 Honnoji Incident The situation in Echigo will change completely.

The Oda army, which had been advancing to Echigo, all pulled up to Kyoto and their own territory.

As a result, Kagekatsu, who has lost his patronage, directs his troops to the betrayed Nitta Hajime family. For the Uesugi family at that time, the unification of Echigo was far more important than the overthrowing Nobunaga, and it was not the case.

The Hojo clan did not have much pressure from the Oda clan

The only one who was showing resistance was the Hojo clan, probably because they wanted to be under the pressure of the Oda clan. Has succeeded in attacking and expelling from Kanto.

If you take a quick look at each daimyo ...

  • Hojo clan ... I was glaring at the Tokugawa clan.
  • Mori clan ... Lost fighting spirit in the battle with the Oda clan.
  • Uesugi family ... It wasn't the case because of the civil war.
  • Chosokabe ... It wasn't the Oda family in Shikoku Heisei.
  • Tokugawa family ... I couldn't move because Hojo was behind me.

At that time, each daimyo was also [ unification of the world ] Was what everyone wanted, but it is thought that the first step was to defeat the enemy in front of them.

If we were to defeat the Oda clan and turn it over, this blank year for the daimyo who had not perfected the separation of soldiers and farming would be quite tough. In that case, it will be good if the time is ripe after seeing the situation.

In the end, Hideyoshi took over the successor of the Oda clan during the one year he was watching the situation, succeeded in enclosing the Oda clan's warlords, and settled in the battle of Shizugatake. I think it is.
