Chapter 979: The Battle of Origahara!
Uehara is only one of the many RB place names, but it is known for a major war that broke out here in history.
This battle was the Battle of Origahara that broke out in the 17th year of Tensho (1589 AD) between Date Masamune and Ashina Hiroshi (Satake Yoshishige).
After the Battle of Hitotori Bridge, the confrontation between Date Masamune and the Ashina family and the Satake family became increasingly serious. In addition, the Date family's growing power in Nanjiao has threatened the status of the Ashina family and the Satake family, so both the Ashina family and the Satake family are very hostile to the Date family.
At that time, due to the death of the former head of the Date family, Date Terumune, at the hands of his son Date Masamune, the "Pan-Mitsu In-law Community" established by Date Minoru, Date Harumune, and Date Terumune, the three generations of Date family heads completely collapsed.
The Iwaki clan, the old enemy of Date Harune, the Soma clan, the Ishikawa clan, who played soy sauce, and the Nikaido clan, who followed Satake, imposed a policy of isolation on the Date family, and united under the banner of "Kill Date Cooperative" led by the Ashina family and the Satake family, and launched a joint attack on Date Masamune.
Although the Combine's attack failed, it left the Date family isolated in Mutsu Province.
In response to a truth that I don't know from what mouth, "Powerful enemies are often the first to collapse from within", and Ashina is no exception.
At that time, because the son of the Ashina Mori clan, who had succeeded to the throne after the Ashina Mori clan lived in seclusion, the head of the Ashina family, Ashina Moriko, suddenly died, which led to various problems in the Ashina family because of the heir.
In the end, the son of Nikaido Shengyi next door, Nikaido Shenglong, was handpicked by the Ashina Mori clan and married the surviving wife of Ashina Shengxing, thus inheriting the position of the governor of the Ashina family....... Here, Kira has to complain about the ethical relationship in it, which is simply Nima's destruction of the three views.
Ashina Moriko's wife, Hikohime, is the daughter of Date Harumune, and Nikaido Moritaka's mother, Date Anan (the female character of the Shinno Riida family), is Hikohime's sister. In other words, Nikaido Moritaka is Hikohime and Ashina Moriyu's nephew (nephew)?
And after the death of his uncle Ashina Shengxing, Nikaido Shenglong married his aunt and inherited the name of the Ashina family by the way, this kind of operation, well, very RB.
However, the good times did not last long, and Ashina Mori soon died.
Although Ashina Moritaka, who had just succeeded to the throne, also showed good ability, he died at the hands of Sanzaemon of the Otaba. Don't get me wrong, it's not because it's been rebelled or for any other reason, it's because Otwa Sanzaemon has "fallen out of favor".
In fact, like Ashina Mori, Ashina (Nikaido) Moritaka also likes men!
Ōtei Sanzaemon was the son of a priest at Suwa Suwa Shrine, and was originally from the Nihonmatsu family. However, because of his beautiful appearance, a chance encounter made Nikaido Moritaka fall in love with the Otai Sanzaemon at first sight, and asked for the Upper Courtyard Sanzaemon from the Nihonmatsu family, and asked him to be his "Saber Fan (responsible for helping Nikaido Moritaka with a sword)".
Perhaps this is also the reason why Ashina Mori is interested in Nikaido Shengtaka, after all, everyone is a member of the "LGBT Club......
And after inheriting the position of the head of the Ashina family, Nikaido Shengtaka was still very fond of the Otai Sanzaemon at first. But when Nikaido Shengtaka discovered the "treasure" hidden in the Ashina family, the small surnames of the Ashina Mori family, he suddenly let Nikaido Shenglong let himself go.
It's like a person who has been guarding his ugly wife's duty for decades and suddenly encounters dozens of beautiful women, that kind of impatient mood, presumably the old bachelors who read this book have a deep experience, especially in the dead of night when watching the art films of the island country.
As a result, Ōtewa Sanzaemon felt that he had "fallen out of favor", and then he also let himself go. During a trip with Ashina (Nikaido) Moritaka, Otwa Sanzaemon suddenly raised a sword behind Ashina Moritaka and hacked him to death at the age of 23.
The Ashina family seemed to have lost their luck, and when the lord died one after another, Ashina Moritaka was hacked to death by the Otai Sanzaemon, and his three-year-old son, Kameomaru, also died of blisters.
The Ashina family is once again embroiled in an heir dispute, which leads to the confrontation between the Date family and the Satake family (both families want to succeed their own family to the Ashina family to inherit the throne).
The candidates at that time were Date Masamune's half-brother Date Kojiro and Satake Yoshihiro's son, Yoshihiro Satake. The people who supported Date Kojiro accounted for the vast majority of the retainers of the Ashina family, and there was a family of Inawashiro and the Four Heavenly Kings, but because of the support of Yoshihiro Satake, Kanami Moribei hugged Toyotomi Hideyoshi's thigh, and was finally ruled by Toyotomi Hideyoshi that Yoshihiro Satake succeeded to the throne.
Dissatisfied with Yoshihiro Satake's succession, the Ashina family fell into a fierce civil strife, and the retainers who supported Date Kojiro broke out into conflict with Yoshihiro Satake, who was supported by the Satake family.
The battle for the heir seems to be contagious, and the Inawashiro family, which occupies a pivotal position among the retainers of the Ashina family, also broke out at this juncture. Pig Miao Dai Shengguo did not like his sister-in-law Pig Miao Dai Sheng Yin, and after living in seclusion, he tried to support the pig Miao Dynasty Zongguo who came out of the steproom.
In the end, Inawashiro Shengguo simply did not do anything and went directly to Date Masamune, bringing the strength of the Date family to Inawashiro City and becoming the leading party, which also became an important reason for the defeat of the Ashina family in the Battle of Origahara.
In the end, the Battle of Origamihara ended in the victory of Date Masamune, and the Ashina family's retainer Kanami Moribei and the Four Heavenly Kings Sase Tanetsune father and son were all killed in battle, Satake Yoshihiro and others fled to Tokirichi, where their biological father was, and Aizu finally fell into the hands of Date Masamune.
Of course, Date Masamune did not cover Aizu with heat, and later Oshu Shizhi Naka Aizu became the territory of the Gamo clan.
......
The Battle of Origahara in history has nothing to do with the present, and the current timeline is fifty years earlier than in history.
After climbing over Mt. Bandai, Ashina Mori and others finally arrived at Origamihara, which is located on the shores of Lake Inawashiro. Breathing in the rustic air, a group of low-morale peasant soldiers also cheered up a lot.
Inawashiro Morikiyo returned to Inawashiro Castle for repairs first, which was only after receiving orders from the Ashina Mori clan, in the hope that Inawashiro Morikiyo would be able to block the pursuing troops of the Tsugawa family, while the Ashina Mori clan and others continued to advance towards Kurokawa Castle.
However, less than two miles after walking out, the strength of the Ashina family stopped.
The Ashina Mori clan looked ahead with a solemn expression, and a flag suddenly appeared there, and the eye-catching "Jiuyaoba" pattern on it was silently displayed, which was the flag seal belonging to the Echigo Nagao family.
Soon, one, two... Ten sides... Hundreds of flags also appeared in front of the eyes of the Ashina family one after another.
When at least thousands of Nagao family ashigaru who were in a tight formation were all displayed in the eyes of the Ashina Sheng clan and others, the Ashina Mori clan and the others couldn't help but gasp.
"It's a big problem!"
