Anecdotes of Shimazu Yoshihiro's Characters
The Shimadzu family has gradually expanded its influence since the 15th Governor Shimazu Takahisa's time, and your four sons, Shimazu Yoshihisa, Yoshihiro Shimadzu, Shimadzu and Shimadzu, are also excellent talents. They have always maintained family unity, which not only unified Saskatchewan and Japan, but also defeated the famous family in Kyushu and occupied almost the whole Kyushu.
1554 At the beginning of this year, Shimadzu Yoshihiro started the battle of victory, which contributed to the unification of his father's three states (Satsuma, Otsuka and Sunward). 1578, Erchuan defeated Dayoujun and set foot on the road of dominating Kyushu with his brother Yijiu. 1587 After the Shimadzu family surrendered to Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Hony succeeded the governor, but in fact he was in power with September 19th. In the war of aggression against Korea, he made great contributions to the naval battles in Sichuan and Lvliang. Guanyuan belonged to the marked army in the joint war. When the defeat of the western front army was decided, he led about 1500 Shimadzu soldiers to break through the enemy lines and return to China safely at the expense of his nephew Toyoji and his family.
Shimadzu Yoshihiro fought countless battles in his life, among which the most famous ones were the Muzaki War, the Shikoku War in the War of Invading Korea and the Guanyuan War. In the 23rd year of astronomical phenomena (1554), in July, Pusheng Fanqing, a famous family in the west corner, was unwilling to accept the rule of Shimadzu family, reconciled with the forces of Keton Liang Zhong, Irijin Chongsi and other Chinese people, and formed an anti-Shimadzu alliance with the big mouth Kitahara of Zhenxing Institute. The following month, troops were sent to attack Kaji Mucheng, where the Shimadzu family had joined. In order to save the liver, the contemporary governor Shimadzu adopted the strategy of encircling Wei to save Zhao and directly attacked the fortress city of Pusheng Fanqing. This battle is regarded as a key battle for the survival of the Shimadzu family. Almost all the Shimadzu families were out, and the prestigious No.2, 20-year-old Shimadzu Yoshihiro, also ushered in the first battle at this time.
Jane is located on Jane Hill in the south of Yu Liang County, with an altitude of150m. There are cliffs on the north, west and east, and it is known as "Wei Cheng". Even the local governor of the battle-hardened Shimadzu family, Shimadzu Zhong, saw the dangerous terrain naturally formed in Yanjian City, and could not help but send a message to Hony and other brothers, "If you want to capture Yanjian City, one of your three brothers is likely to be killed ("Who are the three brothers? "The defenders in the city are Duke Clayton Liang Zhong of Dayu (famous for his bravery) and five hundred soldiers led by General Xi Cuoshenggu. (Tri-State Family History/Saskatchewan Family College History/Pusheng Town Land History).
Shimadzu's army is divided into two ways. A team led by Tadashi Shimazu, Shimazu Takahisa's brother, attacked Tiezuocheng, located in the north of Yiwanjian, to contain Pusheng's army. The main force set out from Samone Inner City and advanced to the inauguration position north of Ivanjian on September 12. At the same time, some troops such as Zhongzhi were sent to set up a sub-array in Nidang, northeast of Yanwan River. (The Battle between Rock Sword and Imperial Alliance)
On the morning of September 13, Yijiu and Hongyi led a team from the inaugural meeting to Baiyinban in the area of Yuanhe Pingsong Village on the west bank of Kagoshima Bay. May, Jing Daole, Yeya, Baweimen and other Kagoshima people and Kawabe people burned villages near Baiyinban to stimulate the defenders to go out. Sure enough, some defenders were attacked by new recruits and repelled by the Yijiu and Hongyi brothers.
/kloc-on the evening of 0/3, fog appeared on the battlefield after the rain. It is said that a "fox fire" happened near Shimadzu this evening. According to the Shimadzu family, Jia Zuzhong was the illegitimate child of the first generation of shogunate Yuan Chao. Later, Mudan Bureau fled to Tianjin because of the persecution of Kitajima Masako, and was rescued by a group of foxes, so he regarded foxes as the patron saint of the family. Before the war, the "fox fire" representing auspicious signs was discovered, which greatly boosted the morale of the army.
On the morning of September 14, Tadashi Shimadzu will use more than 50 warships to land in the east of the city. The defenders who transferred troops to reinforce in panic were attacked by the loyal iron cannon team equipped with Tanegashima iron cannons, and they also responded with iron cannons, forming the first actual combat of Japanese iron cannons. (History of Keton Town/History of Entering the City/History of Tri-state Family) The Keton Army, which suffered a lot, reorganized its defense and started a tug-of-war with Shimadzu Army according to the terrain.
On September 20th, Yoshihiro Shimazu, who was on standby at the east foot of the city, took the lead in making a breakthrough. He pretended to cut autumn grain and rice in the farmland at the gate with 500 feet light, attracting defenders to compete out of the city, and then ambushed and attacked with 300 iron cannons and archers, successfully defeating one of the defenders by surprise attack. The ambush method "maiming" used by Hony in this battle is considered to be the prototype of Shimadzu's famous tactic "wild fishing" in the future.
On the evening of 29th, Yijiu and Hongyi brothers were ordered to dive to Xingyuan near Tiezuo City. Hongyi did the same thing again, and once again lured Tiezuocheng defenders to beat them up. The battered defenders fled back to Tiezuo and stayed at home. The Hony Brothers successfully cut off the attack of Tiezuo's reinforcements on Shijian.
At this point, Pusheng Fanqing learned that Jianyan City was in danger, and hurriedly gave up the siege of Jiazhi Wooden City and led two thousand soldiers to return to the rescue. As expected, Ghost Nine learned that Pusheng reinforcements were approaching, and led Yijiu and Hongyi brothers to withdraw from the enemy.
1 October1Day and night, Pusheng Fan Qing rushed to Chidao to make arrangements, echoing the intention of the city soldiers to attack the Shimadzu army. Unexpectedly, Shimadzu Army was also divided into two teams, and the two sides fought fiercely in Song Ping, just north of the city. Shimadzu Yoshihiro took the lead, braved the enemy's bows and arrows and iron cannons to enter the enemy's ranks first, and chased the reinforcement general Keton Chongjing (Keton Liangchong Nagano) to Gaotongchuan for beheading. In this battle, Shimadzu army won a great victory, and Keton was defeated. Xi Qi Sheng's family and more than 50 famous soldiers were killed, and Pu Sheng Fan Qing fled back to Cheng Ju. (Tri-State Family History/Saskatchewan Family College History/Pusheng Town Land History).
After the news of the fiasco of reinforcements came out, the morale of the defenders in Yanjiancheng was low, and Shimadzu Army took the opportunity to launch an offensive again. 102, Hony set fire to the west of the city under the cover of his uncle Shang Jiu. It's only a matter of time before the city is breached.
That night, Yijiu went to the gate to persuade the defenders to surrender, but there was no response, but Keton Liang Zhong abandoned the city with down archers in the dark. 10.3, Guijiu led a great army into the empty city and held a celebration reception. (Shimadzu History). Volume 17) At this point, Yan Jiancheng's strategy ended with Shimadzu's great victory.
Because of Hongyi's outstanding performance in this campaign, Ghost Wine appointed Hongyi as a guarding city fan of Jianyan City. From then on, Yan Jiancheng became the outpost of Shimadzu attackers, and Hongyi often became the pioneer of Shimadzu. In January of the 24th year of astronomical phenomena (1555), Ghost Nine was defeated by Kitamura's master, Kitamura Qingkang. Tokushima Maru stood bravely behind the temple to defend Su Feng, and many Shimadzu warriors such as Fuban, Hamada, Castle Peak, Yue Ming and Ikei were killed.
In March, the Shimadzu family mobilized loyal generals and businessmen to attack Pusheng Zhicheng Tiezuo City. Hongyi and the general were happy to enter the city for a long time, and the garrison commander Ketoin Liang Zhong was exhausted. Since then, Liang Zhong, with the support of Pusheng Fanqing, tried to recapture Tiezuo, but eventually he lost again under Hony's own attack. On April 2, Tiezuo City fell into the hands of Shimadzu. (Ketoin Town History/Laizhen History/Tri-state Family History).
In the second year of Hongzhi (1556), in March, the Hony brothers of the Ghost Wine School attacked Matsusaka City, another branch of the Pusheng family. After burning all the buildings outside the city, Hony was the first to rush into the city, and the garrison commander Nakamura Zhijie was killed. June 65438+1October 65438+August, Matsuzaka fell. However, Hony, who has been leading in this battle, was also seriously injured.
In the face of Shimadzu's continuous onslaught, Pusheng Fanqing has gone to the third of the four sons guarding the city. You have been in power for a long time, and you have repeatedly launched attacks. They successively captured the strongholds of Nagano, Songyuan, Bennan, Yuanjiang, Nepal, Mali, Beimin and Qiyou, and the encirclement of Pushenglong gradually formed.
In December, Ling Chong led an army to help Fan Qing and deployed it in Beicun to contain the Shimadzu army. The two armies began to confront each other. The stalemate lasted until April of the following year, and my hometown governor Zhong Liang personally came to the front to supervise the war. Ghost wine took advantage of the long-term detention and relaxation of Mo Ling's army and suddenly attacked this array of Mo Ling's army in Yaki City, Kitamura.
Five thousand Shimashimadzu troops stormed the front line of Lingmowu, and Hongyi, who is used to being a pioneer, once again took the lead in breaking through the enemy lines and won the head of General Nanyuan of Lingmowu. He got five arrows in armor in a row, but he still played badly. With his encouragement, Shimadzu's military strength increased greatly, and all the troops were wiped out. Mo Ling died by the sword. On April 15, the northern villages and towns fell. Five days later, Fan Qing, who knew that the tide was gone, burned down the city where he had worked so hard for half his life and fled to Kerton. At this point, Xidayu was completely incorporated into the territory of Shimadzu. (Tri-state Family History/Saskatchewan Academy History/Land Saving History of Lingmowang Town/Land Saving History of Dakou City).
At this time, on the Japanese side, Tadao Shimadzu, the family of Toshi Utsumi Shimadzu, was tired of coping with the joint attack of Ito family and Ganfu family, and was overwhelmed. He turned to ghost wine for help. In the second year of Lu Yong (1559), in April, loyal ministers offered Moji, which is adjacent to Yidong, to ghost wine, and in March of the following year, they even adopted Hongyi as their adopted son, using their courage to fight Yidong, and Shimadzu forces began to enter the DPRK.
Just when Shimadzu's development and expansion were smooth sailing, earth-shaking changes took place. In April of the fourth year of Lu Yong (156 1), Gan Fu suddenly sent troops to Yacheng, the same clan as Shimadzu. You sent his brother to the rescue for a long time, and he died in an ambush. This incident has been a great blow to you for a long time, and you have to recall Shimazu Yoshihiro, who was stationed in Japan in February of the 5th year of Lu Yong (1562).
As soon as Hongyi went, Yidong Yiyou immediately made a comeback, and in March, he won the Feicheng guarded by loyal ministers. Since then, the two sides have fallen into a tug-of-war. In September, loyal ministers recaptured Suifei City again. In February of the sixth year of Lu Yong (1563), Gui Jiujiu went to Suifei and won a great victory with Yidong Army in Sanshan. In the seventh year of Lu Yong (1563), at the end of May, Ito invaded again and attacked the present Shimadzu city. However, Lord Enoch, who was guarding this area, showed signs of escape, and Hony quickly fled to Japan. On June165438+1October 17, Hony entered the city of Ino to monitor and marry him. Later, Hony, as the guardian of Shimadzu, took Ino City and Shogunate City as strongholds and acted as the pioneer of Japanese rule. In February of the 9th year of Lu Yong (1566), Guijiu gave Shimazu Yoshihisa the position of supervisor of the country. In the same year 10, the Yijiu brothers sent troops to attack Sanshan City, Ito Yoshinori, and retreated because Shimazu Yoshihiro was injured. In November of the 10th year of Lu Yong (1567), the September 19th brothers and others sent troops to the three mountain cities in the name of revenge for a defeat. However, while passing through prajna temple, they launched a fierce attack on Mayoucheng, the city where North Saskatchewan people lived, and launched the Satsuma pacification war. 1 1 On 24th, Ma Yuecheng was captured and Lingling Longqiu fled to Niushan City. Nearby cities such as Shishan, Yokogawa, Zengmu Dark Moon, feathermoon, Shan Ye, Pingquan, Aoki and Tang Wei all entered the territory of Shimadzu that night. In the same year1February 29th, Shancheng Shili Kerry attacked Niushancheng, but was defeated by Lingling Longqiu, and then attacked Shancheng. In the first month of the following year, Shimazu Yoshihisa and Hiroshi Shimazu sent troops to rescue the mountain city. Despite the reinforcements of the Xiang Liang family, Lingling Longqiu was defeated by Shimazu Yoshihisa in Tangqi. In the 12th year of Lu Yong (1569), in May, Lingqiu was defeated by Shenwei again. On August 18, soldiers surrounded Niushan City and reached a peace agreement with Lingjihe, who asked Shimazu Yoshihisa to surrender. On the fifth day of the first month of the following year, Ilikin Shiki and others of Shibuya clan in Satsuma surrendered to Shimazu Yoshihisa, and Shimazu Yoshihisa finally succeeded in reunifying Satsuma. 1572, the battle of kizaki hara was the battle of shimadzu yihong's fame. In this battle, Shimazu Yoshihiro calmly fought with less than 500 troops, and Ito Yoshio's army returned in vain. Jiguang then used the retreat to launch a surprise attack and break the Ito army. Since then, the Ito family has lost the ability to compete with the Shimadzu family, clearing a stumbling block for the Shimadzu family to unify Kyushu. In the second year of Yuangui (157 1), he died, the domestic situation was unstable, and his liver and Fu family began to stir again. Ito Yidou also sent a letter to secretly make an appointment with his lover Yiyang to attack Inano City. In the third year of Yuangui (1572), at the beginning of May, 3,000 Ito troops led by Ito Takeyasu, Ito Shinjiro Xinyou, Ito Matajiro and veteran Luo Heyuan Saemon set out from three mountain cities and took Inano City directly. Although the total strength of this unit is not much, most of them are warm-blooded young fighters selected from all over the world, and they are veritable "elite soldiers". Defenders are only 300 defenders in Hony's Ino City, as well as more than 50 infantry in Kaoto City where Mrs. Guang Lai (Hony's wife) and Tadashi Kawakami are located.
On the night of May 3, the Ito army was divided into two roads, the main force of which was stationed in Buping near Muqi, south of Ino City. Shinjiro Ito and Shinjiro Ito led the other way through the foothills of Bai Niao and headed straight for Fujitsu, ready to win this small branch city in one fell swoop. However, the progress of the war is far from smooth as expected. Because the road is narrow and rugged, and the night is dark, the attacker turned the stone wall of Jing Qing Mansion in Huashan Liu Chang Square, a nearby Buddhist monk, into a path leading to Benmaru Castle, and launched an attack in a confused way, which led to the fire counterattack of the monks. (History of Kobayashi)
Although there are only more than 50 defenders in Kakuba City, they are extremely tenacious. In Athens, Tadashi Kawakami not only shelled the enemy with his command, but also personally led the death squads to attack the flank of the Ito army under the cover of night and terrain. In addition, Hony sent a total of 60 people to help. After a night of fierce fighting, the Ito army not only failed to make progress, but the general also lived in Uemon and was shot dead. After dawn, the exhausted siege troops retreated to the shore of Ikeshimagawa, south of Ino, and waited to meet the reinforcements of the Fat Queen.
Every move of the Iraqi army has not escaped the investigation of the intelligence network carefully laid by Hongyi. From the Iraqi army to Enoch, Hony is actively deploying troops.
In addition to reinforcing gladiators, Hony also ordered Fuyongwan Zuoyouweimen to plant flags on the mountain north of Iino City. When the 700 troops who came to attack Shimadzu saw the flag, they were awed by Hony's prestige and retreated without fighting, sneaking back to the fat queen.
In addition, 40 people led by you in the Five Dynasties have been lying in ambush at the wild gate at the foot of Bainiao Mountain in the rear of the Iraqi army, and reinforcements from Daxinna Central Plains are also coming urgently. Hony himself, in addition to leaving Yale Town, Sichuan, led 50 people to stay in Ino City, and personally led 130 main forces to Muzaki.
At this time, due to the hot weather, many Iraqi soldiers took off their armor, began to prepare breakfast, and even jumped into Ikeshimagawa to take a bath. Seeing this, Hony Hony ordered his confidant general Yasunari Fukuda to take 80 men around the rear of Ito's array, and himself was advancing 50 elite cavalry to launch a surprise attack on the unsuspecting 3,000 Ito troops from the front! The sudden attack plunged the Iraqi army into chaos. Many soldiers were cut down without armor, and Hony's small troops ran around like nobody's business. However, with the passage of time, the number advantage of the Iraqi army gradually emerged. Jiro Ito and Saemon, the source of Luohe River, rallied and began to attack Hony. Hony's small troops fought and walked, and retreated to the triangle opposite Sichuan. But because it is too deep into the enemy's core, I can't get away at the moment.
At this time, the six samurai in Shimadzu team discussed with each other: "My six people will stick to this place, which will give our team time to regroup." The six men stood up straight and fought to the death, and soon they all begged for their lives.
Suddenly, the sound of guns was loud, and General Ito Kaga You Shouan got off the horse. The circuitous sickle field team, the five generations of ambush team came from the rear, and the Iraqi army was attacked from several sides at the same time. I don't know how many enemies there are, but the general was suddenly killed and died in an unstoppable chaos. This is the tactic that Shimadzu family will become famous in Japan in the future-wild fishing! Seeing that the defeat was hard to win, Shinjiro Ito, who killed his red eye, did not retreat but advanced. As soon as Ma Chong came to Hony, he stabbed him with a gun. At the critical moment, Hony's mount happened to fall and left a shot for the other side. Hongyi took the opportunity to stab him with a gun and shot him in the head. Then, the famous brave general of Ito's family, Nago Shiro, put a ribbed pocket in front of Rimaru and brandished a knife again. Hony's followers saw that their master was in trouble and quickly covered it with a wooden rafter, but they were split together by helmets! Warriors swarmed around Shimadzu, and Eijiro was finally killed because he was outnumbered. Since then, Kakuto's Kawakami and Noya teams competed with the big-mouthed New Na Zhongyuan team, and the Dongjun army was beaten out of the water. Known as "Japan's first gun", the warrior teak Dan Houshou and another warrior in the family, Bitian Muxuanzhai, struggled to break through and both sacrificed heroically. More than 700 people died in this war, including 5 generals, and more than 250 people pursued and fought in the outer cities. Ito's backbone suffered unprecedented losses and never recovered.
And 257 people were killed on the winning Shimadzu side. In "Only the New Imperial Admire", Hony also lamented that this battle was an unprecedented battle.
Muqi fought together, and Shimazu Yoshihiro defeated his army ten times as much as his own with fewer people. As a classic battle of winning more with less, this battle is compared with the battle of Nobunobu Oda, and is called "Kyushu Narrow Barrel". Shimazu Yoshihiro also became famous in Kyushu World War I because of this battle and entered the ranks of the famous Warring States countries. Toyotomi Hideyoshi's war of aggression against Korea went smoothly at the beginning of the war. Two months and two days after the war broke out, all the three capitals and eighteen roads in North Korea fell and two Korean princes were captured. Han Wang, who fled to Yizhou, had to ask for help from the Ming Dynasty.
When the North Korean army broke up on land, only one general led his army to victory at sea, and that person was the North Korean famous Li Shunchen. Under his leadership, the North Korean navy has obvious advantages, and the Japanese army has continuously lost some of its sea control rights, but these victories cannot reverse the overall war situation on the Korean Peninsula. However, after the Ming Dynasty sent 40,000 elites to support North Korea, the Japanese army gradually lost its advantage and the war was in a stalemate. In the late period of the battle of evergreen, the three armies went hand in hand on the road of Ming army.
On the night of September 28th, the 23rd year of Wanli, the Ming army led Dong Yiyuan and 26,000 Ming troops to attack Sichuan City in the Middle Road (the number of Ming people, plus more than 2,200 Koreans actually claimed to be more than 50,000). Seven thousand Japanese soldiers are divided into two roads, inside and outside the city. Dong Yiyuan's department is responsible for attacking Shimadzu Hony's department entrenched in Sizhou. At first, everything went well. Dong Yiyuan won Jinzhou and Sizhou, and Japanese general Xiang Liang was killed. The main commander, Kawakami, was seriously injured and led more than 100 people to retreat into the inner city. Shimadzu Yoshihiro had to build a temporary defense against the sea. The Ming army continued to attack for several days, and transferred general guns and red guns to fire at Japanese positions. When the Japanese army was about to break up, a fire broke out in the Ming military camp, which led to the explosion of gunpowder. Shimadzu Yoshihiro took the opportunity to defeat the Ming army in the chaos, but the casualties of the Ming army were not the tens of thousands boasted by Japan after the war. According to "The Last Glory of the Empire" written by Ma Boyong and Historical Records, there were about 7,000 casualties in the Ming army. It was a joint battle in Sizhou. After this battle, Shimadzu Ryohiro was very lucky. He was called Ghost Man Zi.
1598 Toyotomi Hideyoshi died and Japanese troops withdrew from Korea. However, the allied forces of the Ming Dynasty blocked the sea passage, making it impossible for Konishi Yukinaga and other departments of the Second Japanese Army to retreat. Shimadzu Yoshihiro led the main force of the Japanese Fifth Army to cross the sea, leaving Konishi Yukinaga and other departments helpless to evacuate. In this battle, the main force of the Japanese Fifth Army was almost completely annihilated, and Shimadzu soldiers were killed by more than 10,000 people. 1600 Before the Guanyuan War broke out, Shimazu Yoshihisa adhered to the policy of neutrality, while Hony insisted on participating in the war and the Western Expedition. (YiHongBen reached a secret agreement with Konka to guard Taoshan Castle. As a result, the city people didn't answer the notice, not only didn't open the door, but also fired several shots. In others, is nothing more than looking for Tokugawa Ieyasu to tell a story, but this one is different, two poles out of spirits and took the guy to Ishida Mitsunari overnight. ) Because of many factors, such as Yoshihisa's anti-war, the injury of invading the DPRK, and the rebellion of Yijin's loyal ministers, Shimadzu Yihong can only lead 1500 troops to participate in the war.
Because the Lord Ishida Mitsunari went his own way, ignored Shimadzu Yihong's suggestion, attacked the position of the East Army at night, and despised the Shimadzu family because of Shimadzu Serenade. After the beginning of the Guanyuan War, the Shimadzu Army adopted a wait-and-see policy and shot all soldiers who approached the Shimadzu position regardless. Only after Kobayakawa Hideaki defected to the Western Army and scattered, did it set up a front vector array, directly broke through the array of the Tokugawa Army, broke through the mighty Benduo, Songping and Beijing Army, and retaliated against Zhi Zhi Inoue and Songpingzhong, who were pursued by the Eastern Army, in order to gain time. In the face of the sea-like enemy, Hongyi used the tactics of "abandoning rape" to successfully break through and escape. This is the famous "Breaking through the Enemy" in Japan.
Later, due to diplomatic measures after the just war, Konka did not punish Shimadzu in the end. It is worth mentioning that if it were not for the pursuit of Hony's head, every old Jing Quan of Tokugawa's family would plead for Hony's head. I'm afraid Hony's head would have moved with Ishida Mitsunari and others.
After the war, Guan Yuanhe ceded the position of supervisor to his son Shimazu Tadatsune, who was obsessed with Buddhism and ignorant of the world and died in 16 19.
