The Battle of Komaki-Nagakute | Sengoku Jidai Episode 38

[@just_radical]

How far the Oda have fallen that Mori Nagayoshi would lead an army to seize their lands after his father and four of his brothers died in service to the clan, including three of them at Honnouji itself.

[@nemesis3587]

The funny part is people blames Ieyasu for betraying Toyotomi but not mention how Toyotomi userped power from Oda first. Another ironic part is Komaki-Nagakute showed how Ieyasu still remained loyal to his former masters clan. Challenging Toyotomi and holding ground at that time is pretty impressive. Ieyasu really have guts.

[@chrisanduncensoredjapan6627]

nemesis3587 yes, I can’t disagree with this one. Up until Mikatagahara, Ieyasu always led from the front. Whatever else about his character, his courage is in disputed,

[@jurtra9090]

Ieyasu was enduring until he know that his time will come

[@tl7211]

Ieyasu is by any measure a brave man and a great tactician. But its not so much just pure loyalty on Ieyasu's part. In times such as the Sengoku, whatever samurai virtue that has been romanticized in legends and stories has to be discounted. We all know the cunning and opportunistic character Ieyasu was. He probably already has sights on becoming shogun himself, changing his family name (some say his Minamoto lineage was forged). He would probably know its a very long shot, but set himself a platform nonetheless. I believe his alliance to Nobukatsu is more of a strategy to have a chance to tilt the massive balance of power Hideyoshi held. Nobunaga had adult sons ready to succeed, but Hideyoshi had usurped with Nobunaga's toddler grandson, plain for all to see and a very legit excuse to call to arms against him. If Ieyasu does not help Nobukatsu, and Nobukatsu submits, it further entrench Hideyoshi as the new overlord. If he succeed with helping Nobukatsu, win a few decisive battle, sway other daimyos to his side (he already has Hojo), that definitelty has the chance to tilt the power balance. Hideyoshi may be weakened and Ieyasu can benefit from the ensuing chaos. If Hideyoshi goes on to fully secure his title and power as Nobunaga's successor, Ieyasu wont know if he will ever live to see himself having a chance to be shogun. Of course we all know he did anyway. And dont forget Tsukiyama and Nobuyasu. Long story short I think Ieyasu took an opportunistic gamble with Nobukatsu, little if anything to do with loyalty.

Viewing the conflict from the much wider perspective, it wasn't simply the head-on clash between Hashiba Hideyoshi and Tokugawa Ieyasu. Remember that the other factions / clans / leaders were also on the moves while Hideyoshi had been fighting against the Oda-Tokugawa coalition. A series of diplomatic moves and coalitions was rapidly being weaved around the time of AD 1584, centered around the "anti-Hideyoshi coalition" versus "pro-Hideyoshi coalition" in the West, and the "anti-Hojo coalition" in the Kanto region. The Saiga-Negoro Ikki was threatening the suburb of Osaka from the Kishu, causing no minor trouble to Hideyoshi ; on top of that, Sassa Morimasa of Etchu rebelled against Hideyoshi and formed the alliance with Ieyasu. Chosokabe Motochika was adopting the anti-Hideyoshi stance and busying on sweeping the pro-Hideyoshi Sogō Masayasu for unification of Shikoku, a substantial threat at the southern flank of Hideyoshi ; and that's not all, the Hojo clan (which currently befriended with Tokugawa with political marriage) would likely send additional reinforcement to Tokugawa for the latter's cause. As forementioned, the political situation was far more complicated, and Ieyasu wasn't the only troublesome enemy Hideyoshi had to cope with. To counter such "anti-Hideyoshi coalition", Hideyoshi maintained the cordial relations with Mori and Uesugi, utilizing Uesugi to contain Morimasa at Hokuriku, and also actively collaborating with Hojo's long-standing enemies such as Satake and Utsunomiya to "curb" the Hojo movement. Since the Hojo expansionism in the Kanto region had made him a lot of enemies, it's not surprising that the formidable "anti-Hojo coalition" was formed culminated with the large-scale Battle of Numajiri, after which Hojo Ujimasa achieved significant advantage over a number of enemies. With the Saiga-Negoro Ikki, Chosokabe Motochika and Sassa Norimasa defeated and humbled one by one, and Hojo too busying maintaining his control over the Kanto region and would not be expected for reliable support, Tokugawa Ieyasu was completely isolated in hopeless situation, had no choice but "submit" to Hideyoshi after the latter gave a "generous offer" he could hardly refuse. Indeed, the AD 1586 Tensho Earthquake probably had decisive impact since it severely weakened the Hashiba clan's strength, persuaded Hideyoshi to adopt the more conciliatory policy in handling with Ieyasu instead of strong fist. Just stay tuned for the uploader's subsequent episodes for revealing how the plots developed - I'll offer some interesting information and perspectives as the supplemental knowledge of this video.

[@jaojmnhzhzm]

Two chess masters at the height of their prowess. I still wonder what would have been, had they continued their conflict. The new iteration of Uesugi Kenshin vs. Takeda Shingen perhaps?

[@ryannguyen7466]

Hashiba side would slowly lose influence. Hideyoshi at the core was a farmer who rised to the rank of daimyo and effectively regent (he never took the title of Shogun). Most clans in Japan at that time was descent from nobility (even the Tokugawa was claimed part of the branch family of the Imperial, the Fujiwara if I remembered correctly). Slowly a lot of noble birth samurai clan would slowly switch side to Ieyasu should the conflict prolong.

[@jaojmnhzhzm]

@@ryannguyen7466 Possible but not likely. The daimyo remained loyal even when he failed his two attempts to invade China. I think the most interesting thing about the sengoku-jidaai is the concept of gekokujo - the lower rising up over the higher - and samurai loyalty meant something different to the samurai in the 16th c. vs samurai of earlier (or even later!) eras.

[@arielquelme]

Actually he is right Im further examining that Ieyasu has something that Hideyoshi didnt have: hereditary vassals... The Mikawa Samurais was traditionally loyal to Matsudaira/Tokugawa clan before he was even born... Like Honda clans, Sakai clans, Okubo clans etc. So in essence he has traditional "old guard" samurai families.. CompareD to Hideyoshi vassals like Kato Kiyomasa, Otani Yoshitsugu, Ishida Mitsunari]], etc, which only came to prominence during Hideyoshi rule and still carving their own names

[@Hiddenlotuslord]

To be fair, no matter who won, Hideyoshi would probably politically outmaneuver Ieyasu, but in the end be outlasted by him in turn

[@theswedishdude1]

don't know why people like Hideyoshi, he's a traitor to the core and should be remembered as such. he was nothing before Nobunaga, everything he has was given to him by Nobunaga and he repays this kindness by betraying his sons, destroying everything Nobunaga built and usurping power from his clan. Hideyoshi is more of a traitor that Mitsuhide.

[@arbiteroffate3601]

Because he actually fulfilled the dream that Nobunaga once had which is to unify Japan and to go further beyond the border to reach the ancient land of China. Tokugawa Ieyasu only managed to take power from a powerhouse that already managed to completely unify Japan and if it's not for this old turd ambition the Toyotomi might live longer and ould continue to be the ruler of Japan. Also in case you don't know Tokugawa Ieyasu has done a lot of terrible things too when he goes to fight in the "Siege of Osaka" For instance he used the cannon to scare the Lady Yodo (the daughter of Azai Nagamasa and Oichi and the mother of Toyotomi Hideyori) to force the Toyotomi into a peace deal that basically destroy the defensive aspect of Osaka Castle in other words he use PTSD to win a siege because he is unable to win without it. Then after the Siege of Osaka was completed Tokugawa Ieyasu executed Hideyori 7 year old son Toyotomi Kunimatsu and then leave the army that besiege Osaka Castle into their own devices basically he ignored the raping and killing that happened after the siege and executed the grandson of the man that has decided to not treated him as just another vassal after the battle of Komaki Nagakute. What a way to pay respect for the man that give you a second chance at life Ieyasu good job 😑👍

[@norikei16]

Hey, I just found your channel a few a weeks ago and loving your sengoku jidai series. However, there's one particular inaccuracy that I'm not very fond with and that is regarding the status of Takeda Katsuyori. In one of your videos, you mentioned that Katsuyori's mother, Suwahime is Takeda Shingen's niece and in turn implied that Katsuyori is an inbred. However this is inaccurate as Shigen's sister was married off to Suwa Yorishige in 1540 and Katsuyori was born in 1546. If Suwahime is indeed Shingen's niece, she would be at least 6 years old when she gave birth to Katsuyori, which is practically impossible. Here's are some facts regarding Suwahime: 1. She was born in 1530's to an unnamed mother - a date that is more believable as this place her age at around 16 y/o when she gave birth to Katsuyori. 2. The reason why Shigen's retainers object his decision to make her his concubine is because they didn't consider her as a noble birth. This is the same reason as to why Shingen initially named Katsuyori as Suwa clan's heir.

[@TheShogunate]

I know the concept is kind of odd and it densest help that there is not a lot of solid information regarding the subject out there but I personally got the information regarding Shingen's concubine-niece from Stephen Turnbull's Kawanakajima Osprey campaign book. He states: "Shingen also took the late Yorishige's daughter as his mistress. Taking one's own niece, whose father you have had murdered, as a mistress was not an auspicious move. Tongues wagged, and people said that no good would come of it. The lady of Suwa was indeed destined to bring nemesis to the house of Takeda - she bore Shingen a son called Katsuyori , who would lead his clan to destruction in 1575 at the famous battle of Nagashino."

@@TheShogunate I appreciate the feedback but, I honestly don't know what else can I say. I mean, I already state my case as to why Suwahime being Shingen's niece is impossible. I guess the only thing that I could say is that I hope you will touch upon this matter in your future video.

@Norikei Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I still choose to accept Stephen Turnbull's authority on this, but nonetheless it is an odd topic.

Did you come across any mention of exploits by Hikosaka Mitsumasa at Komaki-Nagakute in your research? He is the son of Imagawa retainer that was introduced to Ieyasu by a cousin, Hikosaka Motomasa in Ieyasu's court. We know Mitsumasa was rewarded for his actions at the battle, later entrusted with governing Owari and East Mikawa. I am curious because I can trace my roots back to Mikawa with Hikosaka names. Love your videos BTW.

with Closed Captioning names should be capitalized. date masamune should be Date Masamune. and ieyasu tokugawa should be Ieyasu Tokugawa. otaclan should be Oda clan, Oda Nobunaga was the main Shogunate that influenced Japan's unification after 150 to 200 years of civil war, called that Warring States Period/Sengoku Jidai/戦国時代. Just saying. japan is a proper name of a country. it should be Japan. Please tell Google to fix their CCs. i'm a former Assistant English Teacher in Japan. i also used to live near Komaki City and Nagakute City in Central Japan. Tagata shrine's festival is good clean fun. 3 000 is 3,000. ☮️
