・The Kuruwa that you manage within Fushimi Castle is the safest, and it makes more sense to escape there. In other words, it is thought that Mitsunari ISHIDA stayed in Jibu Shosuke Kuruwa in Fushimi-jo Castle and did not escape to Ieyasu's mansion. Ieyasu's mansion at this time was Mukojima on the opposite bank of the Uji River, away from Fushimi Castle (p16)
・The principle of mobilizing soldiers at the time was that the feudal lords, who had territories close to enemy territory, were obligated to serve in the army. This is called compulsory military service (Nakamura in Sunpu, Horio in Hamamatsu, Ikeda in Yoshida, Tanaka in Okazaki, Fukushima in Kiyosu). Meanwhile, among feudal lords who were not subject to duties, Kuroda Nagamasa of Nakatsu, Todo Takatora of Uwajima, and Hosokawa Tadaoki of Miyazu participated in the conquest of Uesugi in anticipation that the battle for division of the country would begin (p22)
・The 3rd magistrate and Yododono, the birth mother of Hideyori, sent a letter to Ieyasu with the content that Mitsunari and the others were making disturbing movements and wanted them to quickly return upward and calm the disturbing movements, so it was natural that most Toyotomi feudal lords sided with Ieyasu. However, the 3 magistrate and Yododono switched sides and issued “rules of differences between the Naifu” and impeached Ieyasu as a rebel, so the army that acted together with Ieyasu became a rebel army (P24)
・When settling disputes in the Battle of Sekigahara, Ieyasu pledged political cooperation by exchanging contracts with Mori Terumoto, Ieyasu treated Terumoto as his younger brother, and Ieyasu treated Ieyasu as his father, so Ieyasu's initiative was clear, and as for Uesugi Kagekatsu, it was agreed that Ieyasu's children would be adopted heirs who did not yet have a legitimate son (P36)
・When Tokugawa Ieyasu entered the Nishinomaru Castle, Hideyoshi renewed the “gookime,” “imperial codes,” and wills enacted in his later years, and established new “gokime” and “laws,” and Ieyasu ruled the country as Hideyori's guardian based on that. That position corresponds to the government, and this is regarded as a factual coup (P38)
・Ishida Mitsunari learned of Kobayakawa Hideaki's defection, and since Otani Yoshitsugu, who had formed a camp in that neighborhood, was in danger, he left Ogaki Castle and marched to Sekigahara in order to be rescued, and prepared for Hideaki. Ieyasu chased it, and the two armies clashed at Sekigahara on the 15th of the following month. The reason the two armies clashed at Sekigahara was due to the revelation of Hideaki's rebellion (P43)
・Mori Terumoto tried to expand his domain over a wide area from Shikoku to northern Kyushu, and the reason behind this action was that in 1595, when Kanpaku Toyotomi Hideji fell, “complained to Terumoto and Kobayakawa Takakage about west from Osaka.” Based on Hideyoshi's words, Terumoto called for daimyos in the Saigoku area to participate in the Western Army, and planned a military invasion by invoking the right to punish daimyos who did not comply (P56)
・Calling Sekigahara “a field with a seki” or “a field with a seki” comes from the ancient checkpoint “fukanzeki.” In the ancient ritsuryo system, seven official roads managed by the government, called Tokaido, Higashiyama, Hokuriku, Sanin, Sanyo, Nankaido, and Saikaido, were established and extended radially from the capital. There are three roads heading east: Tokai, Higashiyama, and Hokuriku. At the beginning of the 8th century, when the Ritsuryo Code was put in place, national control did not penetrate sufficiently into eastern Japan, which was called the “Togoku” at the time, so customs were established at key transportation and military points that defined eastern and western Japan, and “Suzuka-seki” between the Tokaido: Omi and Ise, the Hokuriku Expressway: “Aibakuseki” between Omi and Echizen, and Higashiyama Expressway: “unbroken customs” between Omi and Mino; these three were called “ritsuryo sanseki” (P72) were abolished in 798 Then the current Kanto region Then, incidents such as looting began to occur frequently, so in 899, checkpoints were placed at “Usui Pass” between Shinano and Ueno on the Higashiyama Expressway and “Ashigara-toge Pass” (Ashigarazaka, later Hakone) on the Suruga-Sagami border on the Tokaido, and since then the area around the current Kanto Plain has come to be called Kanto/Bando (P74)
・Nene (Nene) and Chacha (Yododono) were Hideyoshi's legitimate wives, the first wife was Nene, and the second wife was Chacha. That relationship did not change even after Hideyoshi's death, so there is no room for the conflict structure of “legitimate wife” versus “concubine,” which is often said, to be established as a historical fact, because Chacha is not a mistress (p99)
・The reason Tokugawa Ieyasu was able to win the Battle of Sekigahara was not only because of his excellent military arrangements on the day. Rather, it can be said that Ieyasu's biggest winning factor was the hand that sold before that. About a month before the battle, 169 letters were sent to feudal lords all over Japan. In other words, they were skillful at rooting beforehand. Above all, the rollover operation of Kobayakawa Hideaki on Mount Matsuo and a promise of no war were received from Yoshikawa Hiroie on Mount Nangu, and these 2 points were a major factor in Ieyasu's victory in particular (p117)
・As a result of the Battle of Sekigahara, the transfer and transfer of feudal lords was carried out thoroughly, and this laid the foundation for the shogunate system. It was a battle that changed drastically from a decentralized country until then to a centralized country. The difference with Hideyoshi is that Ieyasu issued an order saying “don't take farmers,” and as a result, this promoted the separation of soldiers and peasants, and fixed and stabilized society (p117)
・After the Battle of Sekigahara, territorial benefits to feudal lords by Ieyasu were communicated orally to each person, and at that time Ieyasu did not have the authority to issue territory red seals. If I were to put it out, I had to put it out under Hideyori's name (p137)
・People at the time after the Battle of Sekigahara recognized that “Ieyasu's shogun system” and “Hideyori's Kanpaku system” would go hand in hand. I think this system was designed by Ieyasu himself. As a reason for this, there is not a single Tokugawa daimyo west of Kyoto, which is half of Japan (p139)
・The reason why the Tokugawa side did not make an all-out attack during the Osaka Summer Siege was because they were lobbying for peace talks. They persuaded them to move out of Osaka Castle and take Yodo-dono as a hostage, but the opinions of the Toyotomi side were not settled. Eventually, the numb front line unit carried out threatening fire, which became a trigger, and the battle began in an irregular shape. Moreover, the brave battle of the Toyotomi type was tremendous, and many officers and soldiers on the Tokugawa side were killed due to the remarkable advance of the Mori Katsuei Corps, which formed a position in the center of Tennoji-guchi, and they were forced to retreat to Ieyasu's headquarters. In that case, in the face of the Tokugawa family, Ieyasu was also forced to destroy the Toyotomi family. Ironically, the good fight was reversed and the Toyotomi family was destroyed (p151)
・In Japan, Christian feudal lords and samurai were annihilated in the Siege of Osaka, everyone became a parishioner at Danna-ji Temple, and a temple petition system was established to prove that they were parishioners, and the Siege of Osaka was positioned as the main festival of religious wars, and the Shimabara Rebellion was positioned as a back festival (p199,201)
