In the first month of the fifth year of Yonglu, when the Takeda family came out of the Ueno country, it was getting closer and closer.

But at this time, an event that seemed insignificant at that time, but had an extremely far-reaching impact on the whole history of the Warring States period. Tokugawa Jiakang (now known as Matsushita pingjiakang) of the Matsushita family in xisanhe, relying on the relationship between his uncle Shino and the Toyoda family, the two established an alliance in Qingzhou, known as the Qingzhou alliance in history.

In this regard, Tokugawa Jiakang officially broke off the subordination relationship with the present kawawa family, and concluded an agreement with Yoshida's Yoshida family, starting two 20-year-old back-to-back offensive and defensive alliances.

It is said that as early as Tokugawa, Jiakang was still a hostage at Zhitian's house. Jiakang and Xinchang formed good friends.

At that time, as described by later generations, Nobunaga Zhida was full of ambition in his eyes, took Tokugawa's hand, waved it, pointed to the horizon and said, "bamboo Qiandai (the former name of Tokugawa's Yuanfu), in the future, you and I will compete for the world together, I will attack to the west, and you will attack to the East."

At this point, they began their lifelong friendship.

However, 99% of this story is bullshit, because Tokugawa Jiakang was only six or seven years old at that time, almost regarded as a preschool child, while Yoshiro Toyoda was already a teenager of 15 or 16 years old. At this age, he was already a high school student in modern times. Can you believe that a high school student will say to a child who can't even wring his nose that we will dominate the world together in the future. Rumor goes back to rumor. Later generations often use the three heroes of the Warring States period to call the first two. There is another Yoshiro muxiateng, who is still a subordinate of minister Nobuyasu Zhitian and has not yet emerged, that is, Hideki Toyotomi of the Taige in the future.

In addition to approaching or completing the goal of Japan's reunification in different ways, these three people still belong to their hometown of Aichi Prefecture, Japan.

There is a famous story in Japan. The title is that cuckoos don't sing. How to make them sing? The following is a quote from three Yingjie. Yoshida said: it's not enough to kill. Xiuji said: lure it to make it sound. Jiakang said: don't wait for his voice.

The Japanese often use these three sentences to reflect their different personalities, ways of doing things, and their later fate.

HIDA shinchang rebelled from an early age and belonged to the category of bad teenagers. Later, he became famous and made a change. He dreamily killed Daiming Jinchuan Yiyuan with less than more in the bucket narrow, and captured Meinong Jiancheng daoyeshan city.

He changed the name of daoyeshan city to Gifu, followed the story of King Wen of Zhou, and began to spread martial arts around the world.

He killed countless people in his life, claimed to be the sixth day demon king, and trampled on the universal values and ethics. He has the posture of those who follow me and those who oppose me. At the same time, he is keen on new things. If he thinks something is worth doing, he will actively try it, which belongs to the thorough action school.

Toyotomi Xiuji was born in poverty and had no ready-made environment to rely on. His starting point was the lowest compared with many famous names in the Warring States period, such as Yoshiro Toyoda and Tokugawa Jiakang. Toyotomi Xiuji ran around when he was young. He served as an official for fanwei and Panasonic. Finally, he officially obtained the qualification of a warrior under Nobunaga Yoshida.

As the first person to go to the land in the Warring States period, he emerged with his exquisite eloquence and unconstrained imagination. He won the great trust of his master, Nobunaga Zhida, and was promoted from a soldier to a great name of a country. After shinchang's death, he won the world with the momentum of wind and waves. (the above paragraph is from the introduction of Taige 5. I like it very much.)

Of course, this world does not include it. Later, he tried his best to conquer the world of the Ming Dynasty by conquering North Korea. This is also the mission Li Xiao wanted to change when he crossed to Japan.

As for Tokugawa Jiakang, the last of three Yingjie (in the order of unifying Japan), many people can only comment on him.......................

Well, if you have to add a word, it is that the art of "forbearance" ranks first in Japan and the first among the three heroes of "vitality".

Japanese historical novelist Sima liaotaro (who is an out and out right winger. His novels are good, but his character is not good) once commented on the position of Tokugawa Jiakang and Toyotomi Xiuji in the eyes of the Japanese.

For example, if you tell a Japanese that he looks like Toyotomi Hideyoshi, he will be modest on the surface, but he can't hide his joy.

But if you tell him he looks like Tokugawa, even if he doesn't quarrel with you face to face, he will scold you in the bottom of his heart. You are like Tokugawa, you and your mother are like Tokugawa, and your (harmonious) mother's family is like Tokugawa.

Unlike most countries' habit of worshipping the founding fathers, the Japanese tend to place deep sympathy on the losers.

At the same time, for example, in the yuan Pinghe war, the Japanese will remember kizeng Yizhong, known as Japanese Xiang Yu, but not the winner, the first shogunate general yuan Lai Chao.

In the northern and Southern Dynasties, the Japanese would regard nanmu Zhengcheng, who shouted to serve the country and died by cutting himself, as the military God, and despised Zuli Zun, who founded the murmachi shogunate.

When they arrived at Guanyuan, Yoshimura Zhentian, who defeated the Tokugawa army with a decisive assault, also had a much higher status in the eyes of the Japanese than Tokugawa Jiakang.

In fact, it's not complicated. As the Japanese like Tun Sheng Li sings, fifty years on earth is only a small thing compared with heaven and earth. Look at the world, dream like water, let life once, enter and disappear immediately.

It is precisely because the Japanese are used to self injury and self mourning all day, and their sympathy for the losers can be closer to their daily depressed reality, but depressed and frustrated reality. Therefore, they love to appreciate the beautiful cherry blossoms with short flowering period, but no one cares. They have tenacious vitality, and the snow is like the green pines with straight shoulders.

Therefore, we also have the spiritual realm advocated by Bushido, reach the peak of our life in a moment of dazzling beauty, give full play to our greatest value, and then end our life without nostalgia. Yes, since you can't wither at the most brilliant time, the old turtles live the longest, so Tokugawa Jiakang you have to have a cup. In Tokugawa Jiakang written by the eighth Institute of Yamaoka villa, Tokugawa Jiakang secretly came to see his father on the eve of the death of his eldest son, Nobunaga Matsushita, and it was a farewell on his deathbed. Shinkang cried a lot, but at the moment, Tokugawa Jiakang, who is already a famous member of the five countries, only responded: silence. When Xinkang finally saw that there was no hope to avoid death and cried away, Tokugawa Jiakang burst into tears.

In Tokugawa Jiakang's life, the only painful failure was the three-party original war against Takeda family. After the defeat of the German army, he was frightened to pull dung on his horse when he fled on horseback. He asked people to paint his sad appearance on the spot and hang it in the house so that he could see it all the time. The portrait, called "frown image", still exists. Tokugawa was frugal all his life. Even after unifying the Warring States period and becoming a "man in the world", he ate very frugally. He ate very little fish. He ate pickled turnips and white rice every day.

Tokugawa Jiakang is not only stingy to himself, but also to others. Once he wandered around the house and heard a maid complain privately that the food is really bad now. The only side dish is pickled radish. After hearing this, Tokugawa smiled and said, well, since you don't like to eat, don't eat. From then on, the maid of the Tokugawa family even cancelled the pickled radish as a side dish and ate white rice every day.

This is Tokugawa Jiakang. Once someone asked him, "what is the treasure of Tokugawa family?" Jiakang replied, "five hundred Samurai riding three rivers."

In Hokkaido, Yuanjiang people grow food, Sanhe people fight, and JUNHE people sing ballads at banquets all day. It can be seen that the three river warriors are famous in Japan for their bravery and good fighting.

After the trilateral war, machangxinfang finished inspecting the battlefield and said to Takeda Xinxuan: "after looking at the bodies of the Sanhe army, those who fell head to our army were face down and those who fell head to Binsong were face up, which shows that these soldiers died when they rushed forward, and none of them were killed because they wanted to escape."

In the Changxiao joint war, the Zhitian Tokugawa allied forces numbered 38000, including 30000 Zhitian troops and only 8000 Tokugawa troops. After the war, the procurator captured the head of the Takeda army, and the two armies harvested the same amount.

In January of the fifth year of Yonglu, when the Takeda family still focused on the Shangshan family, the Tokugawa Zhitian alliance, which will pose the greatest threat to them in the future, has been established and will rise in the future. This military alliance is the biggest obstacle to Takeda Xinxuan Shangluo in the future.
