    When mentioning the twin jewels, people often think of the imperial twin jewels - Mittermeier and Reuenthal in Tanaka Yoshiki's "Legend of the Galactic Heroes". However, what I want to introduce here is not such outstanding fictional characters 15th century  In the mid-term, the Takeda clan took over Wakasa.  At the same time, the Takeda clan's fellow sects, the Awaya clan and the Itsumi clan, also began to prosper in Wakasa, and with their unremitting efforts in the subsequent war years, they were known as the twins of the Warring States daimyo Wakasa among the Takeda clan's retainers, becoming Wakasa.  The pillar of the Takeda clan.  The Awaya family originated from the Yoshimitsu family of the Kiyowa Genji family. When Yoshimitsu spread to Kiyomitsu, it was divided into three families: Kagami (High Light), Takeda (Xinyi), and Yasuda (Yoshihide); and Yasuda Yoshihide's descendant Motonoshi because he was in Tokoyoshi  When the Suwu village in Lu State established a family business, the Miao word "suwu" was used.  The Awaya family moved to Wakasa when the generation of Awaya Chiyoshi was born, and it developed in Wakasa.  As a branch of the Takeda clan, the Yoshimi clan, which is also derived from the Yoshiko-ryu of the Seiwa Genji family, has long been a knowledgeable and experienced leader in Yoshimitsu, Mage County, Kai Country, and uses Yoshimi as the Miao character. When the Takeda clan entered Wakashu, they served as retainers.  Entering, take Takahama County Idaoshan Castle as the main city.  ??Awaya Echichumori (formerly) served as Takeda Nobuhiro's agent in the capital before the outbreak of the Oni Rebellion. He made great contributions to the Takeda family's active role in the Oni Rebellion and was deeply trusted by his lord.  After the Onin Rebellion broke out, the Awaya clan was sealed in the Mikata County centered on Kunyoshi Castle and was responsible for fighting against the Echizen Asakura clan belonging to the Western Army.  Later, when the Awaya Ken family (the Ken family was called Goetsu Chumaku and was the son of Senetsu Chumaku) served as the Echichu shogun, Kenie's son inherited his father's legacy and continued to serve as the Takeda clan in Beijing for about 30 years.  Afterwards, the Ken family served as the vanguard of the Takeda family and participated in the conquest of the Omi Rokkaku clan by the great general Ashikaga Yoshisai in the third year of Ento (1491). In addition, the Ken family also showed extraordinary strength in domestic affairs and established themselves as the chief of the family.  The status of the important minister was related to the Awaya clan's control of Mikata County, and the younger brother of the Ken family, Dr. Kunichun Zaemon, later became a confidant of the Lord Takeda Motoshin.  The Yatsumi clan was slightly less active than the Awaya clan during the same period, but when the Takeda army went to Tango in the first year of civilization (1469), the Yatsumi clan was listed before the Awaya clan.  In the second year of civilization (1470), Yoshimi Suruga Morumune was appointed as the acting official of Tamakizhuang in Toshiki County.  In the sixth year of civilization (1474), Takeda Kuninobu, the governor of the Wakasa Takeda clan who served as the imperial aide of the shogunate, shaved his head to commemorate the death of Yoshimi Munemi. This also shows that the Yoshimi family has occupied an important position among the retainers of the Takeda clan.  Since then, with the development of Wakasa port trade, the Yoshimi clan has gradually become the most powerful general among the emerging Wakasa navy.  Even during the Warring States Period, time continued to pass. After entering the 16th century, the Wakasa Takeda clan enjoyed a brief period of stability.  The largest power in Kinki, the Hosokawa clan and the Takeda clan have maintained the friendly relationship established since the Onin Rebellion (Takeda Motomitsu's "元" character comes from the partial taboo of Hosokawa Masamoto and Cheng Yuan).  The Omi Rokkaku clan and the Echizen Asakura clan also formed allies with the Takeda clan; the only visible enemy of the Takeda clan was the weak Tango Isshiki clan.  Under such circumstances, the Takeda family, intoxicated in peace, further developed the cultural traditions passed down from their families.  As the saying goes, what goes up leads to deeds. As the lord, the Takeda family likes literature and singing, and the chief minister Awaya Chiei also became an elegant and famous person who interacted with Shitaka Sanjonishi.  But the two also have completely different situations. The Takeda family gradually loses their martial courage in comfort, but the Awaya family faces competition from the Yatsumi family, the Kumagai family, the Shirai family, and the Yamagata family in Fengya.  Catering to the master to gain favor, on the other hand, he also used real martial arts to consolidate his position.  In the first year of Eisho (1504), Awaya was appointed acting magistrate of Matsunagaso in Toshiki County, and thereafter he commanded the attack on Tango as the general of the Takeda Army until his death in battle; in the second year of Eisho, Awaya Kenyuki obtained the territory that originally belonged to Nagai Kuniji  .  During this period, the balance of power in Wakasa changed dramatically. The important ministers headed by the Awaya clan gradually surpassed the Lord Takeda clan. However, this change was still concealed by the Takeda clan's long-term victory and was not noticed by people.  An outbreak broke out in the second year of Bungame (1502). Several failed attacks on Tango in the early years of Eisho failed to wake up the family governor Takeda Motonobu. However, in the fourteenth year of Eisho (1517), in order to resist Tango's forces, Wakasa  The fact that the counter-invasion actually required the help of the Echizen Asakura clan's military power finally touched Genxin's almost numb nerves.  In the 16th year of Yongzheng (1519), Yuanxin, who knew that he was unable to cheer up, became a monk and lived in seclusion, and handed over the family supervision to his 27-year-old son Yuanguang.  After Yuan Guang succeeded to the throne, in the second year of Dayong (1522),The castle was moved to the newly built Gozeyama Castle, and then the knowledge and behavior of the retainers were adjusted, which to a certain extent reversed the situation of strong branches and weak trunks in the family.  But before Yuan Guang had time to consolidate this change, a storm put Yuan Guang's efforts in vain.  In the sixth year of Daiei (1526), ??the governor Hosokawa Takakuni, who had become very weak due to civil strife, was unable to resist the attacks of Hosokawa Harumoto and Miyoshi Motonaga, so he sent an envoy Xu to invite Motomitsu to Luoyang with heavy profits to fight against Hosokawa and Miyoshi.  Three good trends.  Takeda Motomitsu was so stupid that he rashly raised troops to Luo in the sixth year of Dayei (December 26, 1526) regardless of his own weakness and the hidden dangers in his territory.  In the seventh year of Dayei (February 13, 1527), the two armies fought at Nishichijo Kawakatsuji Temple in Kyoto, and Gao Guo and Yuanguang were defeated.  The next day, Takakuni Hosokawa and Motomitsu Takeda fled to Omi Sakamoto under the command of General Ashikaga Yoshiharu.  The failure of this battle not only lost the martial name established by the Wakasa Takeda clan since Takeda Nobuken, but also the tragic situation of "many retainers lost う" recorded in the "Fukui Prefecture Historical Chronology" also destined Motomitsu to consolidate his leadership.  The country's efforts collapsed in an instant, and Wakasa soon started a retainer rebellion that was not put down until the demise of the Takeda clan.  In addition, with the establishment of the Sakai Dukefu, the unfavorable situation of the Takeda clan in Wakasa turning from the pillar of the shogunate into a rebellious minister also had a negative impact on Wakasa's stability.  The disastrous defeat in the Battle of Kawakatsuji also brought a serious blow to the Awaya clan as much as the main family.  As the chief minister of the Wakasa Takeda clan, the Awaya clan sent the most troops and suffered the greatest losses. In this battle, the Awaya clan's defensive parents and Awaya Sabu led 500 troops to serve as the vanguard and once defeated the enemy. In addition, the Awaya clan sent another 800-1,000 troops.  People followed Yuan Guang to Luo.  With the failure of the joint battle, not only the Awaya defenders and many generals were killed in the battle, but the Awaya army's sophisticated weapons that once stunned the people of Kyoto were also completely lost. Under this situation, the Awaya clan developed a hatred for Takeda Motomitsu.  Strong dissatisfaction.  On the other hand, the Yatsumi clan, who stayed behind in Nishiwakasa to guard against the Tango Isshiki clan, had a relatively improved status in the family due to the loss of other retainers.  After his prestige was severely damaged, Takeda Motomitsu found that his retainers had doubts about him after returning to his territory. Motomitsu finally lost confidence after making some useless efforts.  In the first year of Tianwen (1532), Yuan Guang became a monk and lived in seclusion, completely immersing himself in cultural research in order to forget the previous tragic failure.  The 18-year-old Takeda Nobutoyo inherited the family governor in a difficult situation. He was determined to get up from wherever he fell, and he wanted to restore the Takeda family's former glory through war.  From October of the fourth year of Tenmon (1535) to May of the following year, Nobutoyo launched an attack on Tango Tanabe Castle regardless of the dissuasion of his family elder, Awaya Mototaka.  Due to the disagreement between the generals and the trauma of the seven-year defeat of Dayaga, Nobuntoyo failed twice in his attack on Tanabe Castle. Awaya Katsuharu, the son of Awaya Okinei, died in the battle.  Takeda Nobuntoyo blamed the failure on Awaya Mototaka's lack of effort, while Mototaka resented Nobunaga for the heavy burden of launching the war. The conflict between the two sides quickly intensified after the battle.  In the seventh year of Tenmon (1538), the conflict between the two sides reached its peak. On February 27, Awaya Mototaka ran to Tango Tanabe Castle and started an armed resistance against the Wakasa Takeda clan.  Since Gentaka's actions gained the sympathy of some of Wakasa's retainers, Nobutoyo was unable to take effective measures to suppress Gentaka's rebellion for a long time.  On July 17 of the same year, as Gentaka's rebellion had had a considerable adverse impact on Nobuntoyo's rule in Wakasa, Nobuntoyo forcibly organized a crusade to go to Tanishi Temple in Toshiki County.  On July 27, after being defeated, Awaya Gentaka fled to Toshiki-gun Nadenso; on September 8, Gentaka left Wakasa and went to Tanba to seek the support of Hosokawa Harumoto to attack Wakasa again.  Taking advantage of the instability in the family caused by Yuanlong's rebellion, Nobutaka, Nobutaka's younger brother, also took the opportunity to start a rebellion for the family governor.  On September 20, the seventh year of Tianbun, Asakura Takakage, who was invited by Takeda Nobutaka, invaded Wakasa in the name of quelling the chaos in Wakasa under the shogunate's order.  Takeda Nobuntoyo performed the most outstanding action of his life in a severe situation. On the one hand, Nobuntoyo contacted Kaga's Honganji Temple and used the Kaga Honganji Temple army to invade Echizen to contain the Asakura clan. On the other hand, he quickly defeated the Asakura clan.  The power of trust and filial piety, trust and filial piety are desperate for a ride in the valley.  And Asakura Takakage was also forced to withdraw to Echizen.  Next, Takeda Nobutoyo defeated Awaya Mototaka again with his victorious army.  Gentaka fled again after his defeat. It is said that Gentaka was finally defeated by Nagamasa in the battle of Kawachi Taiheiji Temple in March of the 11th year of Astronomy in which Kizawa Nagamasa, Miyoshi Nonchang (Miyoshi Nagakei), Hatakeyama Ainaga and others were defeated.His son, Sun Saburo, and his family's repairmen were begging for death.  Although Mototaka, the head of the Awaya clan, was the instigator of this civil strife, the Awaya clan was divided into several families, and the several branch families all sided with Takeda Nobuyo in this chaos and made great contributions.  After the civil strife, the governors of several separate families took the lead in organizing some important officials in Wakasa to exonerate the Awaya clan for their responsibility for the civil strife.  Although Takeda Nobutoyo's hatred for Awaya Mototaka still lingers, on the one hand he has to give face to his important ministers; on the other hand, the more important aspect is that the Awaya clan was originally sealed in Higashi Wakasa Mikata County to guard against the Asakura clan.  If the Awaya clan were to severely punish the Awaya clan when they turned against each other again, it would at least lead to a decline in combat power and unstable border defense; at worst, it would cause the Awaya clan to defect to Asakura, and the consequences would be very disastrous.  In Takeda Nobutaka's position, Takeda Nobutaka, with the Asakura clan as his backing, is more dangerous than anyone else.  After weighing the pros and cons, Nobutoyo attributed the rebellion to Awaya Mototaka alone, and only gave symbolic punishment to the Awaya clan, while Mikata County and Kunyoshi Castle were still firmly in the hands of the Awaya clan.  Although the exiled Nobutaka Takeda proposed peace talks to Nobuntoyo in Echizen, Nobuntoyo was suspicious of his competitiveness with the support of the Asakura clan.  After receiving the support of his father-in-law, Rokkaku Sadayori, Takeda Nobutoyo flatly refused to allow Nobutaka to return to Wakasa again.  The unwilling Takeda Nobutaka began to use the Asakura army to harass Wakasa continuously, and the Mikata County led by the Awaya family was deeply affected, and a strong anti-Asakura sentiment arose in the territory. This also set the stage for the Eiroku era.  Awaya Katsuhisa's fierce resistance to the Asakura clan laid the mass foundation for a long-term resistance war.  Since the Asakura clan actively intervened in Wakasa's internal affairs, Nobutoyo, who was at a disadvantage in the balance of power, had to further rely on the support of the Rokkaku clan.  Soon some of the retainers who couldn't stand the harassment of the Asakura clan put forward the suggestion of peace with the Asakura clan. The reason was that they had to rely on other families anyway, so instead of relying on the Rokkaku clan who could not help them through shallow wells and rotten trees, it was better to rely on the Asakura clan nearby.  Cang family.  Takeda Nobutoyo was very angry about this, and a new round of confrontation began between Wakasa monarch and his ministers.  The Awaya clan, who is a neighbor of Asakura Sotetsu, the Tsuruga governor, sided with Nobuho because his territory was in danger of being annexed by Sotetsu at any time to protect his territory, thus regaining Nobuho's trust and  He quickly restored his status as an important official.  Since then, although Takeda Nobutoyo was not defeated on the battlefield by the Asakura clan, Wakasa was at an absolute disadvantage compared with Echizen's national power.  With the long-term conquest, many overwhelmed retainers gave up following Nobutoyo for their own interests. The pro-Rexagon faction and the pro-Akura faction with clear-cut banners formed in Wakasa and sharp opposition occurred; and the leader of the pro-Akura faction was Takeda.  Nobutoyo's legitimate son - Takeda Yoshitomi.  In the 21st year of Tenmon (1552), Rokkaku Sadayori, who had been Takeda Nobutoyo's backstage for a long time, passed away; the Omi Rokkaku clan, which lost its Ming master, quickly declined, and the Rokkaku clan's influence on Wakasa also decreased.  The confrontation between the pro-Rexagon faction and the pro-Asakura faction in Wakasa lost balance, and Takeda Yoshitomi gained an overwhelming advantage; in view of this, the Asakura family gave up their support for Takeda Nobutaka and instead fully supported Takeda Yoshitomi.  In the second year of Koji (1556), Takeda Shigenobu, a general of the pro-Rexagon faction who could not sit back and watch the pro-Asakura faction come to power, launched a challenge to the pro-Asakura Yoshitoshi with the support of the anti-Asakura faction general Awaya Echichu Mori Katsuhisa.  Although Awaya Katsuhisa had a decisive military power in Wakasa Province, he was unable to leave Mikata County Yoshi Castle to support Shigenobu in Ohama under the oppression of Asakura Army of Tsuruga County, so Shigenobu was quickly defeated by the dominant Yoshitomi.  After defeating Shigenobu, Yoshitomi pointed the finger at his father, Nobutoyo Takeda, who was the general of the pro-Hexagon faction.  From July of the first year of Eiroku (1558) to June of the following year, a civil war broke out in Wakasa. The victorious Yoshitoshi replaced his father Nobutoyo as the governor of the family and began to implement his own policy of revitalization.  During the Cold War in Wakasa during the Tenbun era, the Takeda clan Nishi-Wakasa, who was least affected, was led by Kanbei, the lord of Yamashiro Castle, Itsami Suruga Morimassune (Suruga Ido Sozen), who had accumulated huge influence due to his long-term presiding over Tango and Tanba affairs.  strength.  After Takeda Yoshitomi implemented the ZTE policy with power resumption as its core content, in order to protect his own vested interests, Masakune internally contacted Higashi-Wakasa's Awaya Echichu Morikazu Kyusu to disobey orders, and externally colluded with Tanba Matsunaga Nagayori;  Completely refused to submit to Takeda Yoshito's rule.  In the view of Itami Masakune, Yoshitomi without the support of the Awaya clan would have absolutely no power to suppress his rebellion. As for the cooperation with Matsunaga Nagayori, it is just a sound insurance.  Itami Masakune was not wrong about the balance of domestic power, but he underestimated the stupidity of Takeda Yoshitomi and only formed a loose alliance with Matsunaga Nagayori, which led to his own defeat. ?In June of the fourth year of Yonglu (1561), Yi Jianchangjing rebelled.  After working hard for a month, Takeda Yoshitomi found that no one in the territory supported him in suppressing Masakune, so he actually asked Asakura Yoshikage, who had long "supported" him, to send troops to help quell the rebellion.  Although Yoshitomi's foolish decision was opposed by the vast majority of retainers led by Awaya Katsuhisa, Yoshitomi's insistence still caused the Echizen army led by Tsuruga Governor Asakura Keiki to enter Wakasa.  In August of the same year, Yoshimi Masakune, who only received some assistance from Matsunaga Nagayori, was defeated. The castle of Hatouyama was subsequently fell, and the Yoshimi clan's territory was reduced to 5,000 koku.  After Asakura Kageki defeated Hisami Masakune, he regarded Matsunaga Nagayori's little assistance as evidence of Tamba's weakness, and rashly brought the war to Tamba, only to be defeated by Nagayori in a battle.  The reason why Yoshimi Masakune survived after his defeat was because Takeda Yoshitomi wanted to leave an example to Awaya Katsuhisa. He hoped that Awaya Katsuhisa would not have to worry about being punished for his previous actions and return to the Takeda family's retainer system.  However, this did not reassure Awaya Katsuhisa, who had both anti-Yitong and anti-Asakura records. After Masakune's defeat, Katsuhisa took advantage of the opportunity when Yoshitomi and Keiki sent troops to Tanba to actively gather troops in his territory to prepare for war.  When Yoshitong and Keiki led the defeated troops to withdraw from Danbo, they found another important minister who had raised the flag of rebellion.  Since the Wakasa people suffered a lot after the Echizen Army entered Wakasa, the pro-Asakura faction in the past also changed their stance; therefore, the suppression of Awaya Katsuhisa's rebellion became a one-man show for the Asakura clan.  In September of the sixth year of Eiroku (1563), Awaya Katsuhisa led his army to twice defeat Asakura Keiki, who had superior military strength, thus beginning the six-year-long Kuniyoshi Castle Cage War (for details about the battle, see Abe Nobumitsu)  "Kuniyoshi Castle Cage War").  In the eleventh year of Eiroku (1568), Asakura Yoshikage ended the Takeda clan's rule over Wakasa.  However, Wakasa, who had less than 100,000 koku, not only was not swallowed by Yoshikage, but instead consumed a considerable part of Echizen's national power.  Awaya Katsuhisa's Kuniyoshi Castle has always stood, and Yoshimi Masatsune also raised his troops again after building Takahama Castle. Although Masukee was defeated again, Takahama Castle, which was stronger than Hatidoyama Castle, was not defeated by the Echizen army again.  Break through.  In the first year of Gengame (1570), the Wakasa people headed by Awaya Katsuhisa and Itami Masakune joined Oda Nobunaga's Wakasa pacification army and participated in Nobunaga's attack on the Echizen Asakura clan.  In the first year of Tensho (1573) when the Asakura clan was destroyed, Aya Katsuhisa also gained the reputation of "Ichijo Valley Ichijo" because he served as the vanguard of the Ichijo Valley attack.  Since then, Katsuhisa and Masakune have participated in the military operations of the Oda Army as leaders of the Wakasa people for a long time, and their territory has also been increased.  In the ninth year of Tianzheng (1581), Yijian Masaking passed away, and the Yijian family was cut off due to the lack of descendants. Most of the legacy was inherited by Mizoguchi Hidekatsu of the same family.  Awaya Katsuhisa became an official Hideyoshi after the death of Honnoji Temple. After Kinoshita Katsutoshi and Kinoshita Toshitoshi (both sons of Takeda Motoaki) came to Wakasa, he was granted another title.  After that, the Awaya family lost their territory because they joined the Western Army in the Battle of Sekigahara. Ayaya Suketao, the grandson of Katsuhisa Awaya, and many other ronin who lost their territory after the Battle of Sekigahara, continued to join the Toyotomi side in the Battle of Osaka.  , Awaya Suketao, who was lucky enough to survive after the Battle of Osaka, was later hired by Todo Takatora because of his bravery.  As fellow sects of the Kiyowa Genji Yoshimitsu clan, the Awaya clan and the Itsami clan were reused by the Wakasa Takeda clan; but the Awaya clan and the Hatsumi clan also used facts to prove that their reuse was not just because of blood.  The Awaya clan has blocked the expansion of the Asakura clan in Higashi Wakasa for a long time, and Nishiwakasa, guarded by the Itami clan, has rarely been invaded by other countries. During the nearly hundred years of the Takeda clan's power, these two families were indeed well-deserved support.  The two treasures of the Takeda family.  But when Ayaya Katsuhisa and Itsami Masakune, who are truly the representatives of the Twins, began to become active, Wakasa had become a stage for the surrounding powers to compete with each other. As the lord, the Takeda clan could no longer represent the interests of the Wakasa people.  As Warring States generals, Katsuhisa and Masakune naturally gave up the Takeda clan and embarked on the road to independence.  As small lords with tens of thousands of stones, Shengjiu and Changjing were not able to play a role in influencing the world, but it is likely that they were not unable to get out of the bag as Mao Sui said, but they were not put in by fate because of chance and coincidence.  in the bag.  With less than a thousand troops, Awaya Katsuhisa fought against the much stronger Echizen Asakura Army and was able to win or lose.  During the Tianwen period, he faced the famous Hokuriku general Asakura Sotetsu, but Kuniyoshi Castle was not lost; during the Eiroku period, Shenghisu fought against the Asakura army for six consecutive years in an isolated and helpless situation.  Facing the same enemy, Usayama Castle with more elite soldiers would fall too quickly.  Maybe, AiyayaHisashi is the one closest to Asakura Sotetsu among the native military commanders of Fukui Prefecture.  Itami Masakune, who was captured because of the fall of the mountain castle, was obviously inferior to Shengku in military strategy, but after the fall of the castle, he did not choose to commit seppuku. He relied on the remaining 5,000 stone territory to build another Takahama Castle and built it in Eirokujiu.  He raised his troops again in the year This kind of character like Takauji and Ieyasu made him see the final demise of his old enemy Asakura.  What’s interesting is that less than 20 years after the Takeda clan lost its rule over Wakasa, the Awaya clan and the Itsumi clan also permanently left their homeland where they had been operating for many years.  It is very likely that Awaya and Itsumi are the Wakasa twin jade stones that belong exclusively to the Wakasa Takeda clan —————— Off topic: Wakasa Numada clan’s setting is not random, a lot of effort was put into it, including Awaya Katsuhisa and Hisami.  All the prosperity and wealth come from here.
