[Edit this paragraph] background
1598, Toyotomi Hideyoshi died of illness, and Hideyoshi's youngest son, Toyotomi Hideyori, succeeded to the throne as governor, and the whole of Japan suddenly fell into chaos: General Toyotomi, who returned from North Korea, was dissatisfied with the Five Aims headed by Ishida Mitsunari and even tried to assassinate him; On the other hand, Tokugawa Ieyasu, the leader of the Five Elders, with personal grievances, arbitrarily enfeoffed the territory, which aroused the dissatisfaction of the other four elders. From 65438 to 0599, Maeda Toshiie, the most powerful of the four elders, died of illness, and the relationship between the Toyotomi family and Tokugawa Ieyasu deteriorated rapidly. 1600, that is, two years after Toyotomi Hideyoshi's death, Tokugawa Ieyasu set out to conquer Uesugi Kagekatsu because of Naoe Kanetsugu's complaint of "Zhihe". Ishida Mitsunari, the etiquette of the Toyotomi family, used this as a reason for Tokugawa Ieyasu's violation of the private war ban, gathered people from all over the country in Osaka City, announced the violation in the palace, and then set off for the northern expedition to Tokugawa Ieyasu; Tokugawa Ieyasu handed over the Mu Shang War to his second son and led the army against the Toyotomi generals who supported him. The main forces of the two armies finally fought in the riverside area.
-history is called Guan Yuanhe War.
[[Edit this paragraph] Guan Yuan's layout of the two sides of the war.
Western army
Ishida Mitsunari set up this array at the foot of Wei Yan Mountain. Its 6,000-strong army first entered the position in the early morning 1, with its important ministers Shima Sakon and Pusheng Township as pioneers.
Located in Zhongshan Village, 30% of the southwest, there are 4 100 troops of Gu Yisi, 1500 troops of Toda Shigeo and Hirazuka Hiroshi.
Akaza Naoyasu has 600 people, Nana Ogawa Zhong You has 2000 people, rotten wood Yuan Gang has 600 people, and Noban Anzhi 1 1,000 people are stationed in the plain south of Dongshan Road;
Li Mao is centered on Li Maoxiu, and 30,000 people including Kikkawa Hiroie, Ankokuji Ekei, Chang Shuzheng and Chousogabe Morichika are stationed at the foot of the Nangong Mountain.
Kobayakawa Hideaki troops 15000 people deployed in the mountains of Song Wei;
Shimadzu Hongyi 1500 people followed into the position and stationed in Beiguo Street, which is located near Xiaochi Village, 30%;
Then enter the position is Konishi Yukinaga's 4000 people, deployed in tianmashan near Shimadzu troops;
The last to enter the position was the 17000 troops of Yuxi Duoxiu family, deployed in the southern Tianshan Mountains.
All the troops on the western front were deployed at four o'clock in the morning, and the crane wings were generally deployed.
Dong Jun
Fukushima masanari's 6000 troops first entered the tianmashan position at 5: 00 a.m. and confronted the floating field troops on the western front;
To the north of Zhongshan Road, there are 3,000 people in Tanaka Yizheng and 2,800 people in Gugai.
To the south of Fukushima troops are 2,500 Fujitani Gao Hu and 3,000 Jing Gaozhi.
After the arrival of the Fukushima troops, 5,000 troops from Hosokawa Morihiro and 3,000 troops from Kato Kaiming were deployed along the streets of the northland to confront Ishida, Shimadzu and Xiaoxi.
Kuroda's 5400 people were deployed in Maruyama, the northernmost part of the East Army.
Dong Jun's third army arrived at the rear of Kuroda's troops, including 3,000 people from Matsuhei Nakaji, 3,600 people from Jingyi, 500 people from Gutian Chongsheng 1, 450 people from Oda Youle, Jin Jin1/00 people, and 800 people from Yizheng, Ikoma.
In addition, there are 2,400 people in Terasawa Hirotaka, which are located behind Fujitang Gaohu troops;
Among them, Ueda Ueda, Ikoma Yizheng and Terasawa Hirotaka are not the main forces themselves, so they play the role of guerrillas in joint operations;
General Tokugawa Ieyasu commanded 10000 men to guard Mount Taopei in the rear;
The rear army, that is, the troops that confronted the western army in Nangong Mountain, numbered 4,500, 6,500, 2,000 and 900.
In the late Meiji period, a German military expert saw the deployment map provided by the Japanese army at that time and once said that "the western front army will win". Obviously, if we don't consider the role of the eastern front army at that time, the western front army can be said to have taken advantage of the battlefield deployment.
[edit this paragraph] decisive battle
In June (1600), Tokugawa Ieyasu, who sent troops to crusade against Uesugi Kagekatsu, set out from Fujian and entered Edo City in July. Konka is slow to move, waiting for news from celebrities from all over the country. Obviously, he thought that Uesugi Kagekatsu must have an echo, so he was not busy sending the main Kwantung Army, but let the famous generals of Austria, Feather, Vietnam and North Kanto take the lead in containing the Chinese fir army.
Sure enough, on July 1 1, Ishida Mitsunari, Tanigaki Seijiro, Masuda Changsheng, Ankokuji Ekei and others held a secret meeting in Zuohe Mountain City. The next day, on the fifth day, they signed a countersign, recounted Tokugawa Ieyasu's thirteen major sins, gave priority to M not ri terumoto, invited him to live in Osaka, and called on all the governors to unite under the banner of Huiyuan to crusade against Konka. Soon, the army assembled, and first attacked Fushan Castle in Taoshan, killing Torii Mototada, an important official of Konka.
At that time, Tokugawa Ieyasu was in a small mountain town in the wilderness. He got an urgent report from Torii Mototada and immediately led the main force south to Edo. Let's talk about this loyal man who is two years older than Konka. He worked for Konka since he was a child, and was granted a territory with a total goal of 40,000 stones. It is said that when Konka marched eastward, he had expected that 30% and others would send troops to attack Fujian, so he made a final farewell to Yuan Zhong stationed in Fujian.
On July 15, the Taoshan Castle in Fujian was surrounded by 40,000 troops led by famous scholars in Xiduo who responded to the call of five people, while Torii Mototada's men were only 1800. The number of people is so wide, even though Fujian is a strong city that Toyotomi Hideyoshi personally planned to attack and failed, and the material reserves in the city are very rich, it is difficult to hold it. On August 1st, under the contact of the orthodox family of Chang Liang, the duke of Jiahe Shuikou, he saw Zhong Jiahe in the city open the gate, the army surged in, and Torii Mototada died by caesarean section.
Ishida Mitsunari so dare to send troops to crusade against Tokugawa Ieyasu, in addition to Konka's arbitrary expedition, sending celebrities to Sugiyama Mountain, and the wooden temple was empty, the main reason was that thirty percent finally persuaded two of the "Five Old Men"-Zhao Yuan and Yu Duoxiu Jia-to stand in the same camp with themselves. At the same time, he also sent his brother Masayoshi Ishida and others to stop Zhang Aizhi's Sichuan from attacking the eastern countries one after another, and intercepted many military forces. In this way, with Mei Rihui as the nominal leader and Ishida Mitsunari as the actual core, a powerful military formation with as many as100000 people was completed, which was called the "Western Army" in history.
At the same time, the vassal army gathered in the small mountain city on a summer night was captured by Tokugawa Ieyasu. It is said that Konka seems very generous, saying, "Your wife and daughter are hostages in Osaka. I'm afraid they have fallen into the hands of traitors now. I have decided to fight against the rebellion regardless of my life and death. It's entirely up to you to decide whether to go or stay. " When the generals first heard the news, they looked at each other and were at a loss. In silence, Fukushima masanari, the autocratic leader who hates Ishida Mitsunari most, suddenly stood up and spoke, expressing his willingness to support and help Konka. Then Yamauchi Ichitoyo stood up and even claimed to give up his hometown.
Yamauchi Ichitoyo is the son of Iwakura Oda. After Iwakura's death, he followed Nobunaga and became Toyotomi Hideyoshi. He is arguably the most qualified person in the Nobuka family. Yifeng saw the wind turn the rudder and gave up the main city without hesitation. This is not obeying Konka, but clearly expressing willingness to surrender to the Tokugawa shogunate. Therefore, at the instigation of Fukushima and Yamauchi, all the generals stayed, except Sanada Masayuki, the mayor of Ueda Nobuhiko, and Tamaru Nakagawa, the mayor of Mino Rock Village.
Ordered the conquest of the Shan family, and rushed to curry favor with and help, the fastest, and did not stop in the love of Sichuan. Most of them were appointed at will by Toyotomi. They don't necessarily value Konka, but they all hate 30%. In this way, more than 100,000 armies with Tokugawa Ieyasu as the leader and any name as the main force were formed, and they successively made the Western Expedition, which was called "the Eastern Expedition Army" in history.
Total strength of both sides after the war: East Army: 88,208 West Army: 79,965.
Actual combat strength of both sides after the war: East Army: 4 13 10 West Army: 34 100.

high noon
The two sides are deadlocked, and no one has achieved obvious advantages. With 65,438+05,000 troops, Kobayakawa Hideaki became the key pawn. Konka is anxious about the slow action of Kobayakawa Hideaki's army. After consideration, he ordered a rifle team to bypass Song Weishan and shoot at this array in Kobayakawa Hideaki along Heixuechuan. Konka's strategy is quite effective. Kobayakawa Hideaki, like a swing, decided that the Eastern Army had certain advantages at this time and immediately made up his mind.
Target, the right wing of Otani Criminal Department. Attack! "Commanded, the military backyard caught fire.
Fortunately, Otani had the foresight to guard against Kobayakawa Hideaki's army in advance. Under fierce fighting, Kobayakawa Hideaki's attack was repelled.
Unexpectedly, at the sight of Kobayakawa Hideaki's mutiny, Akaza Naoyasu, Nana Ogawa Zhong You, deadwood Yuangang and Otsuka Anzhi Army, who had already returned from their sleep, defected one after another, and Otani's army could not withstand it, losing ground. A few days later, Dazhi's army collapsed, Toda Shigeru died in peace, and Dazhi saved himself.
At one o'clock in the afternoon
After the news that the Otani Army was completely annihilated spread, many scholars and armies in Yu were defeated in succession and failed in Ibuki Mountain. Fukushima masanari led his troops after him.
