Extended data:
The Battle of Guanyuan (_ ヶのヶの12) was fought by the Eastern Army led by Tokugawa Ieyasu and the Western Army formed by Shi Tianguang.
In the third year of Evergreen (1598), Toyotomi Hideyoshi died of illness, and his youngest son, Toyotomi Hideyori, succeeded to the throne, and the whole of Japan suddenly fell into chaos. Tokugawa Ieyasu, the leader of the Five Old Men, took advantage of his private name and arbitrarily enfeoffed the territory. The following year, Maeda Toshiie, the most powerful of the four elders, died, and the relationship between the retainers of the Toyotomi family headed by Ishida Mitsunari and Tokugawa Ieyasu deteriorated rapidly.
In the fifth year of Qing Dynasty (1600), Tokugawa Ieyasu rose up and conquered Uesugi Kagekatsu because Naoe Kanetsugu, a good minister, wrote a letter. Ishida Mitsunari, the Toyotomi family, took this as Tokugawa Ieyasu's violation of the private war ban, gathered famous soldiers from all over the country in Osaka City to announce the violation of the imperial residence regulations, and then rose up and attacked the Tokugawa family in the north.
Tokugawa Ieyasu handed over the Mu Shang War to his second son and led the army against the Toyotomi generals who supported him. On September 15 (1600 65438+1October 2 1), the main forces of the two armies finally fought near Guanyuan River. Finally, in the case of Kobayakawa Hideaki, the general of the western army, the war was won or lost in one day.
Three years later, Tokugawa Ieyasu gained sovereignty and established a shogunate. However, Toyotomi Hideyori, Diandian and other important figures in Osaka City and the imperial court did not interfere too much in this war.
In the Battle of Guanyuan, the two sides mobilized more than100000 troops, which was the biggest Japanese civil war since the Ren Ying Uprising. Also known as "the war that decides the world" (the world is divided into different orders), both sides accuse each other of being disloyal ministers. In this battle, Tokugawa Ieyasu skillfully took advantage of the weakness of western soldiers, pulled the enemy generals, and quickly won, laying the foundation for the rule of Tokugawa shogunate.
