Toyotomi Hideyoshi from humble cannon fodder to power, how did he counterattack?

Preface After Ren Ying's Rebellion, the control ability of Muromachi shogunate over the whole of Japan declined sharply, and the reputation of the shogunate was not as good as before. Famous soldiers of various countries have set up their own homes, constantly expanded their armaments, and launched conquest wars against neighboring countries one after another. Since then, Japan has entered the Warring States period. Such troubled times gave Toyotomi Hideyoshi a stage to show his personal abilities. Although he came from a humble background, he gradually accumulated a lot of life experience through years of travel. In addition, he is also good at reading words and senses, and he quickly won the appreciation of Nobuyuki Oda after entering his home.

In the process of fighting for Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi gradually accumulated a lot of prestige and became one of Nobunaga's most trusted confidants. With the sudden change of Benneng Temple, Toyotomi Hideyoshi saw the opportunity to rise. By destroying the rebels in Akechi Mitsuhide and Shibata Katsuie who opposed him, he succeeded in controlling Oda's family. With the re-expansion of his personal power, he gradually got rid of the bondage of the Weaver Girl, set up another portal, unified Japan, and ended the war-torn Warring States period.

Rebellion in Ren Ying

Born in poverty, Toyotomi Hideyoshi's life experience can be described as "three generations of poor peasants", while his father, Mikimoto Kazuemon, is just an ordinary barefoot who controls firearms under the account of Nobunaga. Although Mushamiako joined the army very early, he was forced to retire due to injury before the battlefield was established. At that time, the area where Muxiajia was located was very backward in economy, and it was also a famous poor village. Medical conditions were very backward, and Mushami Kazuemon soon died of infection. Mu Xiajia suddenly lost her only support, so Toyotomi Hideyoshi's mother had to take her two children and remarry others for a living.

Because of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's low social status, he can't be named Muxia, so he can only always use the young name Riji Maru. In the process of living with his stepfather, his stepfather often abused him. Toyotomi Hideyoshi couldn't bear to run away from home, and soon under the command of Kōnosuke Matsushita of Yuanjiang, he devoted himself to doing some chores, such as serving his master and wearing shoes.

After working in Kashi's home in Panasonic for a period of time, Toyotomi Hideyoshi began to be squeezed out by others. "On the * * * commonness of Liu Bei and Toyotomi Hideyoshi's successful course" mentioned such a story:

"On one occasion, Hideyoshi was assigned to manage the firewood burned in winter. Through careful observation and accurate calculation, he concluded that only one-third of the firewood burned on weekdays is enough, which greatly reduces the burden on residents. "

Toyotomi Hideyoshi is too active in his work to arouse others' dissatisfaction with him. Under the surrounding pressure, Toyotomi Hideyoshi had to bid farewell to his old master and choose to leave. After a long journey, he went to Wei Zhangguo and joined Shinbu Oda as a light foot, that is, a low-level infantry. Toyotomi Hideyoshi's counter-offensive road has also begun.

In the following time, Nobutaka Oda gradually noticed this junior infantry, and valued his extraordinary intelligence, so he promoted Toyotomi Hideyoshi as a junior soldier, and took the position of the head of the foot light regiment, which was less than half an officer. In the subsequent artillery battle, Toyotomi Hideyoshi War was able to make great contributions. Nobuyuki Oda heard about the great joy and married her daughter Ningning, and Asano Nagaakira prevailed. Only then did Toyotomi Hideyoshi stop using her baby name and finally had the right to use her family name.

Shortly after he made his mark, Nobuyasu Oda launched a campaign to conquer Saitō Yoshitatsu with the goal of occupying MINO. Although Saitō Yoshitatsu seized power by killing his father, his own ability is also outstanding, and his command ability is not under Oda Xintai. After several attacks, the heavenly army failed, so we had to withdraw our troops, build Mexico City and strengthen our defense.

Nobunaga first sent messengers from Shibata Katsuie and Sakuma to build the city, but failed because of the enemy's constant attacks. The success of the establishment of Muruocheng is related to Oda Jun's life and death. In desperation, Oda Nobunaga had to hand over this important task to Toyotomi Hideyoshi. After Toyotomi Hideyoshi took over the task of fortification, Oda strolled to give him two-thirds of the main force of the heavenly army, leaving only one-third of the foot soldiers sticking to the periphery to resist the enemy's attack, showing how anxious Oda strolled.

Saitō Yoshitatsu

After Toyotomi Hideyoshi took office, he first recruited local wild warriors to participate in the construction of Muruocheng, and then transported the cut wood to the upper reaches of Muchuan, which greatly accelerated the construction time. It is rumored that Toyotomi Hideyoshi made Mexico City rise in one night, but this statement is somewhat exaggerated. It should be the embryonic form of Meire City, which was established overnight, and only completed the Yugoslav capital construction.

No matter whether Toyotomi Hideyoshi really built the city of Kuto overnight, he did get strong attention from Nobuyuki Oda because of it. In the battle of Inaba Mountain City in the near future, due to Toyotomi Hideyoshi's clever incorporation of MINO, Saito Takashi became a loner, and Woven Tianjun won the first world war and seized the city.

Mocuocheng

Two years later, Tokichiro (Toyotomi Hideyoshi's previous name) was renamed Kinoshita Hideyoshi, and together with Oda Noshin and Tokugawa Ieyasu, he occupied the Vietnamese territory. Just as Weaving Tian Jun was about to win, Azai Nagamasa, who belongs to Weaving Field, suddenly fell to Asakura Yoshikage, which immediately reversed the battlefield situation, so Xintai had to order a hasty retreat.

On the way back, the Okada Tokugawa Coalition forces were constantly pursued by Asai troops. Toyotomi Hideyoshi led the troops behind the house, successfully repelled the pursuers, and ensured that the Allies retreated to safety smoothly, and was rewarded by Oda Xintai.

In A.D. 1573, a famous man, Nobutaka Oda, started a crusade against Azai Nagamasa with hatred. According to Nobunaga Koji, after Azai Nagamasa's death, Nobunaga made his head into a wine glass, which was filled with fine wine and drank it off with the sergeant to celebrate his victory. It can be seen how much Nobunaga dislikes Azai Nagamasa who defected before.

Nobunaga began to reward the officers and men for their achievements after dividing Azai Nagamasa's territory into his own territory, so Toyotomi Hideyoshi got Changbin City near Jiangguo and became the master of a city. From then on, Toyotomi Hideyoshi began to form his own staff group and retainer group, and changed its name to Yuchai Xiuji. From this period on, Toyotomi Hideyoshi became one of the most famous figures in the Warring States Period. Nobuyoshi Oda greatly increased his trust and regarded him as one of his confidants.

Changbincheng

Shortly after being blocked, Toyotomi Hideyoshi led the main force of Weaving Tian Jun to go out to sweep away the surrounding hostile forces for Weaving Tian. In A.D. 1582, a sudden chaos changed the pattern of Japan in the Warring States Period, and the history of Japan also changed.

This year, Nobuyuki Oda's confidant Akechi Mitsuhide suddenly rebelled in Beno Temple, driving Nobuyuki Oda into a corner. Although the Heavenly Army has a large number of weavers, only 100 people are guarding Nobunobu, while there are 13000 people in Akechi Mitsuhide. The result of the battle is obvious. In order to avoid becoming a prisoner, Nobutaka Oda set himself on fire at Beno Temple and died. Therefore, the area around Kyoto fell into the hands of Akechi Mitsuhide. "Deciphering the biggest mystery of the Warring States Period-the change of Benneng Temple" mentioned:

"When Akechi Mitsuhide attacked Hangu Pass, he shouted the slogan" The enemy is in Hangu Pass """

Therefore, the soldiers under the command of Akechi Mitsuhide didn't know that the "enemy" in Beno Temple was his master, Nonobu Oda. Coupled with the rapid offensive, Oda Shintai did not have enough time to prove his identity, which led to the tragedy of Beno Temple.

Changes in Honnoji Temple

At this time, Toyotomi Hideyoshi was still fighting the Maori army outside, and the Maori army was trapped in the city of Takamatsu by water. As long as it takes a little time, the defenders will inevitably surrender in Kaesong. In order to consolidate its power in Kyoto, Akechi Mitsuhide sent an envoy with a personal letter to Gaosongcheng, hoping that the Maori army could delay Toyotomi Hideyoshi for some more time. However, the emissary entered the camp in Toyotomi Hideyoshi by mistake, which completely revealed the changes of Beneng Temple.

When Toyotomi Hideyoshi learned about it, he was in a dilemma. The day when the defenders in the city surrender is just around the corner. It's a pity to give up at this time. However, if we don't step up our crusade against Akechi Mitsuhide, we will lose our only chance to rise. Reasoning, Toyotomi Hideyoshi decided to make a secret reconciliation with the defenders in the city. The defenders in the city didn't know the death of Oda Shinbu, so they had to answer. Then all the Toyotomi troops went to Himeji City, and pursued Akechi Mitsuhide's residence everywhere under the banner of revenge for Oda Nobunaga.

On the afternoon of June 13, Toyotomi Army and Meiji Army fought a decisive battle in Yamazaki area. After only two hours of bloody battle, Akechi Mitsuhide was defeated. In the process of escape, Akechi Mitsuhide strayed into the wilderness. Qi Li, a local villager, killed him as a ronin, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi gained control of Kyoto.

Akechi Mitsuhide

Toyotomi Hideyoshi officially accepted Gao Songcheng's surrender on June 4th, and arrived in Nagasaki on June13rd, which was a rapid progress. It was because he knew this that he was able to take the lead in fighting Akechi Mitsuhide before Tokugawa Ieyasu. When Tokugawa Ieyasu returned to the territory to prepare for the battle, the news of Toyotomi Army's victory came. Since then, Toyotomi Hideyoshi has continued to fight in all directions with Nobunaga's legacy.

Destroying Aliens and Uniting Japan Because Oda Shinbu and his eldest son, Oda Nobutada, both died in Beno Temple, Oda's family is facing a situation of no successor, and its members are also in a panic, and they don't know what to do. Although Nobutaka Oda has two sons, Nobutaka Oda and Nobutaka Oda, they have changed their surnames to Kita and Kobe, so they naturally have no right to inherit the position of supervisor Oda. After learning that Nohiko Oda had passed away, they changed their surnames to Oda, hoping to inherit Oda's career. In this context, Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Shibata Katsuie co-sponsored the Qingzhou Conference and discussed with other ministers where the official development assistance should go.

Shibata Katsuie

At the beginning of this meeting, Nobutaka Oda and Nobutaka Oda were excluded, which means that neither of them can inherit the position of supervisor. At the same time, ordinary ministers are also prohibited from attending the meeting. Only Niwa Nagahide, Shibata Katsuie, Ikeda and Toyotomi Hideyoshi are eligible. This meeting is called deciding who will be the supervisor of the weaving field. In fact, it is a meeting for four people to divide the weaving field. After Qingzhou Conference, Toyotomi Hideyoshi got a territory of 500,000 stones, far exceeding the other three family members, which also strengthened Toyotomi Hideyoshi's right to speak in the Weaving Family and became the actual controller of the Weaving Family.

With the aid of the Cheongju Conference, Toyotomi Hideyoshi greatly weakened the strength of Shibata Katsuie, who stood on its opposite side, aroused its strong dissatisfaction, and the contradiction between them intensified day by day, and finally the-Vietnam War broke out. Toyotomi Hideyoshi did the same thing again, making the troops move quickly to Jian Yue to engage the enemy. Shibata Katsuie was defeated and had to set himself on fire. After the war, Toyotomi Hideyoshi rewarded Niwa Nagahide and others, consolidating and strengthening his position. Since then, no one in Oda's family can compete with it.

In the following days, Toyotomi Hideyoshi continued to expand to other regions, successively conquered Shikoku and China, and finally completed the task of reunifying Japan. In A.D. 1585, the Emperor named him Toyotomi, and Toyotomi became the fifth surname in big noble after Orange, Ping and Genji.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi

To sum up, judging from Toyotomi Hideyoshi's life experience, his success is by no means accidental. When he was a junior handyman, he was gradually appreciated by the Lord because of his excellent personal ability. Although it was later replaced by Nobunaga Oda, it was not buried. Coupled with his quick response and accurate grasp of the current situation, he was able to seize the opportunity and become Nobunaga's "heir". After Honnoji Temple's transition, whoever plays the banner of revenge for Nobunobu first will get the full support of the entire ODA family and allies. Especially after Toyotomi Hideyoshi Root carved Akechi Mitsuhide, his personal reputation reached its peak, which laid a solid foundation for later seizing the actual control of the weavers.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi came from a humble background and had no good education, but he was often able to launch a surprise attack on the battlefield. Throughout all the battles he commanded, it is not difficult to find that Toyotomi Hideyoshi has been carrying out the strategy and tactics of rapid deployment of troops. In the two famous battles that decided its fate, it was by this method that it gained the initiative in the battlefield, thus sweeping all the powerful enemies and finally unifying Japan and becoming the king of Japan.
