00:00Episode 1: Deciding the fate of Japan after Nobunaga's death
00:10Battle of Shizugatake
00:13The historical drama series "Toyotomi Brothers" recently depicted a fierce battle between the two brothers.
00:20So today's main character is Shibata Katsuie
00:25Now is the time to launch a full-scale attack!
00:30Together with Makiya Yamaguchi, who plays Katsuie
00:34We'll delve deep into the story of the Oda clan's most powerful warrior.
00:37This is my duty.
00:42thank you
00:43thank you
00:44thank you
00:45Let me introduce you to you.
00:46The role of Shibata Katsuie is played by Yamaguchi Makiya.
00:50My name is Makiya Yamaguchi. Nice to meet you.
00:52thank you
00:53Welcome
00:54Please have a seat, Makiya-san.
00:56Thank you. Goodbye.
00:57This is your third appearance, including the pre-recorded segment.
01:00This time, we've been waiting for the perfect moment.
01:02The theme is Katsuie.
01:03That's wonderful.
01:05I'm happy. I'm also a Katsuie fan.
01:08I grew to love Katsuie after being given the opportunity to play the role.
01:11I want to learn more and more about Katsuie.
01:15So here it is
01:17This is Shibata Katsuie, played by Mr. Yamaguchi.
01:20Among the Toyotomi brothers, after the death of their lord Nobunaga
01:24Together with my wife
01:25Standing in the way of the brothers Hideyoshi and Hidenaga
01:28It was depicted as a wall, right?
01:31Yes, so I'm going to stay an old fogey until the very end.
01:36I'd been thinking about it for a while.
01:38I'm sorry, the seats are full.
01:39I'll remain a grumpy old man to the very end.
01:41It makes it even more exciting, doesn't it?
01:43Let's go and investigate Katsuie right away.
01:47Yes, this time it's a detective making their first appearance in our team.
01:50I'm rookie detective Iwasaki.
01:52Yes, I'm Iwasaki, a new employee.
01:54thank you
01:54thank you
01:55thank you
01:56Please take a look at this first.
01:59Shibata Katsuie
02:01This was the center of gravity that supported the Oda family.
02:03Oni Shibata And for posterity
02:05He was given the nickname "Kamewari Shibata" (Turtle-splitting Shibata).
02:08A general who was known for his bravery
02:10He participated in most of Nobunaga's major battles.
02:13Among the Toyotomi brothers, Katsuie
02:16He was portrayed as a brave and fearless character, wasn't he?
02:18Their personalities are complete opposites.
02:20I see, I see.
02:22Such is the place associated with Katsuie
02:24Echizen is present-day Fukui Prefecture.
02:27Katsuie was ordered by Nobunaga
02:29The eight years from 1575 until his death
02:32He ruled Echizen,
02:34They had built an incredible castle here.
02:38An incredible castle
02:40I conducted research in Fukui, which was ruled by Katsuie.
02:46Wow, what an impressive dinosaur!
02:49Fukui is a dinosaur kingdom.
02:52The one that boasted strength comparable to that of the dinosaur was
02:55This is Shibata Katsuie, also known as Oni Shibata.
02:58Ka
02:58It's okay to lean forward.
03:01Demons and Dinosaurs
03:03I don't know which one is stronger.
03:05Investigation begins
03:08Shibata Shrine
03:10It's Shibata.
03:11Let's go inside right away.
03:15This is Shibata Shrine, dedicated to Katsuie and his family.
03:20Did you go?
03:21I went.
03:23A magnificent bronze statue greeted us.
03:28Watching
03:29They're adjusting to me.
03:31They're adjusting to me.
03:33What kind of castle did Katsuie build?
03:36What was it like?
03:38please
03:39A person knowledgeable about the history of Fukui
03:41We spoke with Yusuke Okochi.
03:45This is a girl from the north.
03:47Shibata Katsuie used it as his residence.
03:49This is said to be the site of the story of the girl from the north.
03:52So, here is Katsuie from about 400 years ago
03:56They actually existed
03:57I agree
03:58Among Nobunaga's retainers
04:00This refers to the center of gravity.
04:03It's fairly large
04:05It seems that it was that kind of castle.
04:09Oda Nobunaga, who aimed to unify Japan
04:12He sent his subordinate warlords to various regions.
04:14They were expanding their influence.
04:19In the Chugoku region
04:20Hideyoshi Kashiwa
04:23In the Kinki region, Akechi Mitsuhide
04:25and
04:25The person in charge of the Hokuriku region was
04:28Today's protagonist
04:29This is Shibata Katsuie.
04:34Katsuie
04:35Uesugi Kenshin and
04:37Prepare for battle against a single warrior
04:39We will build a castle.
04:42That
04:43Girl from the North
04:47but
04:47Just 8 years after its construction
04:50The castle was lost.
04:52The actual situation is largely unknown.
04:58So
04:59I consulted with this person.
05:01Ah, Director
05:02Makitani-san
05:03Hello
05:06A familiar face from history detectives
05:07Archaeologist Kamikado
05:09Yoshihiro Chida
05:12Documents concerning the girl from the North
05:15Almost none remain.
05:18but
05:19I actually saw it
05:21There was a samurai who kept a record of the castle's appearance.
05:26Katsuie's rival
05:27My name is Hideyoshi Hashiba.
05:31The girl from the north
05:33The shop owner stood tall, with a nine-story building.
05:369-story building
05:39That's amazing, isn't it?
05:40At times like these, a castle is
05:42Basically
05:43This shows the hierarchy during Ozaki's time.
05:48In that sense
05:49From the perspective of castle construction
05:51Hideyoshi said to Katsuie
05:52Are you saying it's absolutely impossible?
05:55The size of the castle
05:56In terms of the scale of the shop owner
05:57Katsuie is overwhelmingly larger.
06:02Apparently, the northern girl's castle was incredible.
06:09From here, we can imagine the appearance of the giant shop owner.
06:14We will restore it using computer graphics.
06:18First, what Chida noticed was
06:21The castle's structure is nine stories tall.
06:24Actually, this 9-story building
06:27It seems to be different from what we imagined.
06:32This 90 is
06:34The first, second, and third floors inside
06:37It refers to the number of times.
06:39When you see the shop owner from the outside
06:41The number of walls.
06:43I don't think that was the case.
06:45That's what I think.
06:48For example, the owner of Himeji Castle
06:52Because it looks like it has 5 layers
06:53It looks like a five-story building at first glance.
06:58However, in reality
06:59There is an attic floor here.
07:02The building part
07:03It has 5 floors and 6 levels.
07:06I see
07:07That's the internal thing, right?
07:085 layers
07:11Then it is said to be a 9-story building.
07:13Kitano girl
07:15From the outside
07:16How many layers were there?
07:20This will be the first floor, right?
07:22Yes, it will.
07:231
07:242
07:243
07:254
07:265
07:265
07:275
07:275
07:275
07:426
07:435
07:455
07:466
07:496
07:496
07:507
07:517
07:519
07:519
07:519
07:519
07:529
07:529
07:529
08:10Only the upper floor of the stone wall
08:11The 9th floor inside is
08:12There are far too many.
08:14Inside the stone wall
08:16The interior is two stories high.
08:18Something like that
08:19I think that might be the case.
08:23Furthermore, the shape of the roof and
08:25Wall construction, etc.
08:27After 5 weeks of consideration
08:30It's getting quite concrete now.
08:32Yes yes yes
08:32The picture is starting to take shape.
08:34Yes, yes
08:38Girl from the North
08:39The blueprints for the castle tower are complete.
08:42Even at first glance, you wouldn't really think this is the 9th floor.
08:46The exterior has five floors.
08:47The interior structure consists of a nine-story building, including the attic and the stone storehouse.
08:57hand
08:59What a magnificent sight!
09:09Besides Hideyoshi, there was one other
09:12There was someone who left a testimony about the girl from the north.
09:17Luis Frois
09:19I am a Jesuit missionary.
09:23About the roof tiles of the castle tower
09:24It states the following:
09:29Roof tiles
09:30They are all made of magnificent stone.
09:32Those colors
09:34It makes the castle shine even brighter.
09:40Commonly used
09:41Not unglazed tiles
09:44It is said that stone tiles were used for the girl from the north.
09:48stone
09:51The mysterious stone tiles that Frois saw
09:53It was actually discovered during an environmental survey.
10:00These are roof tiles blown by a girl from the north during the time of Shibata Katsuie.
10:06Yes
10:07That's amazing!
10:08Is it the real thing?
10:09Yes, it's the real thing.
10:13Compared to unglazed tiles
10:15The roof tiles of the northern girl made of stone
10:18It has a unique color scheme.
10:23This is
10:24Sakutani Stone
10:25It is made of repelling material.
10:28Fenced Valley Stone
10:29yes
10:30This is from Fukui.
10:31It can be found in a place called Asoyama.
10:33This kind of bluish
10:34It will be that stone.
10:38What is Sakutani stone?
10:40Near the girl from the north
10:42These stones were quarried from Asoyama.
10:48It has been highly valued as a specialty product of Echizen since ancient times.
10:52Even today, in addition to tombstones and Buddhist statues
10:55It is used in everyday items such as tableware.
11:01The most distinctive feature is
11:04It's a color.
11:07This kind of
11:09grayish
11:11A rather subdued, deep blue
11:13It's a unique color, isn't it?
11:16This is the best color of Sakutani Nishi.
11:21This bluish hue
11:23Attract people's attention
11:26It highlighted the beauty of the castle.
11:33It captivated Hideyoshi and missionaries.
11:36The phantom girl from the north
11:39After this
11:40I'd like to show you all.
11:45fun
11:46It seems you can watch it later.
11:48The restoration of the girl from the north
11:50When it comes to castles, this is the person to go to.
11:52We received cooperation from Professor Chida.
11:54Thank you so much.
11:55Thank you for your cooperation.
11:56thank you
11:57This time
11:58With the cooperation of Professor Chida
12:00This is the restored version.
12:04Girl from the North
12:05This is a blueprint of the castle tower.
12:07It's a drawing.
12:08Based on this drawing
12:10In history detective
12:11Using the latest AI technology for the first time
12:14The girl from the north
12:15I tried making it into 3D CG.
12:18fun
12:18Now, please take a look.
12:26How do you like it
12:28magnificent
12:30That's amazing!
12:31And the colors are a bit different too.
12:34The Shakutani stone from earlier
12:36Because it is being used
12:37It does have a slightly bluish tint, though.
12:39The roof tiles of this northern girl
12:41As we also mentioned in the survey
12:44It's made from Shakutani stone from Echizen.
12:48By using AI this time,
12:50We have also expressed a more realistic texture.
12:55Built by Makia
12:57Katsuie
12:59Katsuie
12:59Katsuie's design was
13:02Interjecting or anything like that
13:05For example, when Nobunaga built Atsuchi Castle...
13:08Even the smallest details of the design are meticulously crafted.
13:12I decided on my preferences one by one.
13:14That seems to be the case.
13:15Katsuie, who was watching this,
13:18Probably because it's something I like.
13:20I think they decided on the design at that point.
13:24Shakutani stone is
13:25If it rains
13:28The color actually changes, doesn't it?
13:31If it gets wet
13:33What I mean is
13:34I wasn't supposed to reveal that information yet, was I?
13:36I agree
13:37The director has a look on his face that says, "What's that?"
13:41I went and saw it for myself.
13:43I've already started talking with that in mind.
13:45I'm sorry.
13:47Actually, I borrowed that Shakutani stone for this occasion.
13:52The colors become more vibrant when wet.
13:56How does the president stand out?
13:59Let's try the experiment.
14:01Suddenly, it's like something out of an E-tele program, like me
14:06I'm going.
14:11A little deep
14:13It turns blue, right?
14:16It's a little too blue.
14:18I agree
14:19It will turn into a color like turquoise blue.
14:22So when it rains,
14:25Perhaps the overall picture will look a little different again.
14:29So it's a castle that shows a different side, right?
14:31So the more exciting it gets, the more exciting it becomes.
14:33I prefer the real thing.
14:35I wonder how it went.
14:37I'd like to take a look.
14:38I think so even more now.
14:42Here you all
14:43Here's a quiz for you.
14:44Wow, that was really sudden.
14:46I will go.
14:47What's up? A quiz?
14:48Kitano Girl's Riverbank
14:50Used generously
14:51This is Shakutani stone from Echizen.
14:54Katsue loves this stone
14:56I was giving it as a gift to that person.
14:58Who could that be?
15:00Makia, you absolutely can't miss this!
15:03I don't think they'll take it off.
15:05If I had to say who I love, it would definitely be Daichi-san.
15:07I think it will happen.
15:11There's no point in just lifting the stone as it is.
15:14Well, it's a stone, after all.
15:15I'm not making pickles or anything.
15:17So, something like decorative items
15:21They can be processed into things like rings or necklaces.
15:26I wonder if he just handed it over like that.
15:30Katsuie sent the Sakuradani stone because
15:34I am the lord of this castle.
15:38Because we don't know, do we?
15:40What is this? Just a little bit of this
15:44The correct answer is
15:46Azuchi Castle
15:48It is Lord Nobunaga.
15:51The Toyotomi Brothers also appeared in the historical drama series.
15:54Azuchi Castle
15:57Katsuie's lord
15:58This is a famous castle built by Nobunaga.
16:03The site of the Honnoji Incident has disappeared.
16:06Revealed by archaeological excavation
16:08Stone foundations and stone walls were constructed.
16:10You can disguise yourself as the prince.
16:16Somewhere in this castle
16:19Apparently, the Sakuradani stone that Katsuie sent is used in its construction.
16:25It's quite steep.
16:28That's true.
16:30Nobunaga might have climbed it too.
16:34Nobunaga probably experienced ups and downs in his power structure.
16:41The end was tough.
16:45We've arrived.
16:47It's the ancestral lineage of angels.
16:48Ancestral register
16:50So, Nobunaga was here at that time, right?
16:55I agree
16:58The highest point in Azuchi Castle
17:01We have come to the place where angels once stood.
17:07But now that you mention it, Professor, is there such a thing as Sakuradani stone?
17:12I just passed by it a little while ago.
17:13I just passed by
17:14Did you find that somewhere?
17:16Yes, at my feet
17:17foot?
17:20When you rewind the video
17:25The paving stones of the staircase leading to angels
17:31This is the gift that Katsuie sent.
17:34Haa
17:36That's right
17:37This is Shakutani stone
17:38I agree
17:39The shapes and textures are completely different, aren't they?
17:42If you compare it to others
17:44You don't see these kinds of stones laid out anywhere else.
17:48yes
17:48A nice rectangle
17:50It really is beautiful.
17:53The paving stones made of Shakutani stone that Katsuie sent were
17:57There are hundreds of them.
18:03My beloved Nobunaga's castle
18:05I want to decorate it with the same stone as my own castle.
18:09It's as if you can feel Katsuie's feelings.
18:15Katsuie made them the same size
18:17When I imagine them preparing hundreds of them...
18:20I think it's kind of cute.
18:22Katsuie is a good guy.
18:24Nobunaga was happy too, after all.
18:26Up until now, in archaeological excavations
18:28This angel only appears around this area.
18:30So, in important places...
18:32I think they laid down the impact stones like this.
18:36Furthermore, from Azuchi Castle
18:39Katsuie may have sent it to Nobunaga.
18:42Things like this have been unearthed.
18:47This is a large container made of Shakutani stone.
18:53Here's a quiz
18:54Another quiz?
18:56This container
18:58What was it used for?
19:02Wow, that's amazing!
19:04I have absolutely no idea.
19:05How about you, McCann?
19:06I use it every day.
19:07Well, there is a Kameari Shibata, so
19:09I thought it might be alcohol.
19:14Judging from where it was found, it must have been buried up to this point.
19:18It will be under the floor, so
19:22The possibility of it being a toilet has also been ruled out.
19:27The correct answer might be the toilet.
19:33It is believed to be either Nobunaga's residence or a building intended to receive the Emperor.
19:38It was unearthed from a certain location.
19:41Judging from where it came out, if it was a toilet, then it was either for the Emperor's use or
19:46It may be a custom-made item made specifically for Nobunaga.
20:16Katsuie continued to work for his beloved Nobunaga.
20:21Desperately fighting in the Hokuriku region where formidable opponents are lurking
20:25I will try to put it away.
20:29Among the tactics that troubled the Oda army the most was the "one rider per group" strategy.
20:36When faced with an opponent that cannot be defeated by brute force alone, Katsuie executes a certain plan.
20:44Here you can see the words "take away the sword."
20:47This is a way of provoking the sword.
20:52This is a sword confiscation, also known as a sword hunt.
20:57We take away weapons from the peasants to prevent a one-man attack.
21:02When I think of sword hunts, I picture Hideyoshi doing it.
21:05I agree
21:07Hideyoshi's sword hunt broke the distinction between samurai and peasants.
21:12It is said that the intention was to make them cut it.
21:15Katsuie's sword hunt had another hidden purpose.
21:21They took the sword away for the time being and then the forces of the one-man army
21:26To lend it to
21:28I think it's possible they were used in battles like that.
21:33They took the weapons away and sent them to where they were needed.
21:38Is that so?
21:38I agree
21:41In other words, they handed over weapons taken from the enemy to their allies.
21:46It appears they were trying to strengthen their military capabilities.
21:53Furthermore, Katsuie also worked on policies that were ahead of Hideyoshi's.
21:57I'll watch it
22:01It is a prefectural area.
22:03A system for measuring the size of fields and determining the amount of land tax.
22:08In fact, this formed the foundation supporting military power.
22:15For example, for every 100 provinces, you bring 10 people to battle.
22:20Like Rusa
22:21Military mobilization will be carried out according to national strength.
22:25So that became possible uniformly and efficiently throughout Echizen Province.
22:31I think people have the image that Katsuie was strong on the battlefield.
22:36I think that's part of it too.
22:39Actually, in the preparation stage before the battle began
22:42I think the important thing is that they are implementing policies properly.
22:49A work that surpasses that of his rival Hideyoshi
22:52Katsuie launched one attack after another
22:57It wasn't just his strength that captured Nobunaga's heart.
23:02It might be
23:08I also loved it so much.
23:11Nobunaga was betrayed by those brother singers.
23:16That kind of loneliness
23:19I think they probably knew how to count too.
23:22I feel even more determined to dedicate my life to this person with unwavering loyalty.
23:27Let's do it
23:28I wonder if they had some kind of feeling like that.
23:30I was just thinking deeply about a lot of things.
23:33Nobunaga was a very strict lord.
23:35No matter how many times someone has served the Oda family throughout history
23:39It means they are not doing work that is appropriate for their position or status.
23:43He was a very strict daimyo who was quick to fire people.
23:50The last time Mr. Yamaguchi came to visit
23:53You've read the Ikinada Letter that Nobunaga sent to Nobumori, right?
23:59One! Nobumori!
24:01Well...it was tough.
24:05Mr. Yamaguchi, actually, Nobunaga also sent a letter to Katsuie.
24:10It's about the mindset required to govern a country.
24:13Yes, I have one. I think Mr. Iwasaki has one.
24:16This is a document that defines Echizen Province.
24:18I have taken some excerpts and rearranged them in a modern style for this occasion.
24:22I hope you'll read this one too.
24:25Scary scary scary scary
24:26Excuse me for leaving a moment ago.
24:27sorry
24:28I'm sorry for making something so high in calories
24:29I will give you the order.
24:30No, not at all.
24:31That was from the lord.
24:32Yes, that's right, and it was sent to Katsuie.
24:34That's right.
24:36Katsuie, I believe in you.
24:40I'm entrusting you with the great province of Echizen.
24:43Don't let your guard down, and make sure you properly train your soldiers.
24:47The trial of Katsuie should be conducted fairly.
24:51If there's anything you can't resolve, please consult me.
24:55That's incredibly kind of you.
24:57Someone like me...
24:57Yes, I feel a little relieved.
25:01Katsuie must follow Nobunaga's instructions in all matters.
25:06But if I think I'm wrong...
25:09Please don't hesitate to share your opinion.
25:12panic panic panic panic
25:14It's quite different from how it is in official matters.
25:15That's not right.
25:16This is
25:17It seems Nobunaga really did think of Katsuie
25:21As a truly excellent military commander
25:23I trust them too.
25:24The fact that they are evaluating it
25:25I understand this very well.
25:27Please feel free to express your opinion.
25:29If I'm wrong
25:30That's right.
25:30This Echizen Province
25:32Originally, the Asakura clan ruled.
25:35Those who don't think highly of Katsuie are more likely to...
25:39Quite a lot
25:39Therefore, the idea is to make trials fair.
25:42The fact that Nobunaga specifically said it means
25:45For example, brought from my own end
25:47If the court keeps handing down rulings that favor overconfidence...
25:50This is all the locals
25:52This means I can no longer follow Katsuie-san.
25:55Let's make sure we understand that point.
25:57That's Nobunaga's unique kind of kindness, isn't it?
26:00I see
26:03I'm starting to like it more and more.
26:06They were worried about me.
26:08It feels like they're mutually in love.
26:09I will.
26:10Really.
26:11A major crisis then occurred for Katsuie.
26:15June, Tensho 10
26:18This is the Honnoji Incident chapter.
26:19Nobunaga was under the control of his vassal Akechi Mitsuhide.
26:23He loses his life just before achieving national unification.
26:26Katsuie also tries to take revenge,
26:29This guy beat me to it.
26:31Yes, it's Hideyoshi.
26:32yes
26:33and
26:34April of the following year
26:37At the Battle of Shizugatake
26:38The two of them end up clashing.
26:40Well, that means it's been less than a year since the Honnoji Incident.
26:43oh dear
26:44That's fast, isn't it?
26:45How did Katsuie fight Hideyoshi at this Shizugatake?
26:50Upon investigating the situation on the ground, a surprising plan came to light.
26:55Oops, now I'm taking it easy.
26:58Are you watching, Director?
27:00I'm watching, I'm watching
27:01The ski lift is awesome!
27:02Oops
27:03And the scenery too
27:06Wow, it's so beautiful!
27:09Wow, that's great!
27:12The battlefield was in northern Shiga Prefecture.
27:15First, we'll aim for the summit of Shizugatake.
27:19Wow, what an amazing teacher!
27:24Wow, that's amazing!
27:25Uh
27:26What you can see right now, from here
27:29The battle took place in this desperate situation.
27:33This Battle of Shizugatake
27:36Both armies are on this mountain that is visible.
27:38They're going to build lots of fortresses and then clash.
27:42Uh
27:43They fought a mountain fortress battle.
27:45Mountain fortress warfare
27:46yes
27:49Shibata's army of 40,000 and Hashiba's army of 70,000 clashed.
27:53Battle of Shizugatake
27:58Katsuie and Hideyoshi each built forts on the mountains.
28:02A fierce battle ensued as they vied for control.
28:06You know that tallest mountain in the distance?
28:12Shibata Katsuie set up his headquarters deep in those mountains.
28:17This means there was a castle called Genma-ōjō.
28:20Genma Castle
28:20Does that mean you're going over there?
28:23Are you going that way?
28:24Don't worry, there's no lift over there.
28:27Uh
28:28See, I knew it wouldn't end there.
28:31This program
28:32No, teacher
28:32yes
28:33So, in the end, you're going to climb a mountain after all.
28:36I agree
28:37We're still climbing!
28:39Still a long way to go
28:40Heave-ho!
28:41long
28:42Heave-ho!
28:45Katsuie prepared a powerful castle in preparation for the decisive battle against Hideyoshi.
28:50There was
28:51That is Genma-ojo Castle.
28:57Detective Iwasaki also says this is where Genma-o Castle began.
29:01This is where it all began
29:01So
29:02There was probably a gate here originally.
29:06Here
29:06yes
29:08It's definitely gotten more expensive around here too.
29:11They're piling up soil and turning it into soil.
29:14Oh, really?
29:18Historical detectives' familiar red 3D maps for the crime scene
29:22Let's take a look.
29:24The two of them are here
29:28The soil and burrows are intricately intertwined.
29:31But it looks really nice.
29:32Hey
29:35The total length is 250 meters.
29:38It was the largest of the fortresses built around Shizugatake.
29:48Entering the main keep
29:49We've entered the main keep.
29:51Honmaru
29:52Isn't it kind of spacious?
29:54It's fashionable, isn't it?
29:57The vast main keep
30:00A rare sight in temporary castles
30:02They noticed us all the way to the castle tower.
30:07Furthermore, the red relief map includes
30:11This image captures the magnificence of this castle.
30:17East side of the castle
30:19The uneven terrain remaining on the slope
30:23This is the remains of a shrine where soldiers of Shibata's army stayed overnight.
30:33Based on on-site surveys and red relief maps
30:36We recreated the castle site using CGI.
30:43The main enclosure with a castle tower
30:48Large quantities of military supplies can be stored.
30:52storage space
30:58Furthermore, shrines lined the streets.
31:01Tens of thousands of Shibata's troops will gather.
31:07huge fortress
31:09The site is a castle
31:11Katsuie used this castle as his base.
31:14They were devising a plan to corner Hideyoshi.
31:20The key factor is the castle's location.
31:25The site is right next to the castle
31:27The Hokkoku Kaido road runs through here.
31:31Secure the new army route and launch a swift attack on Kinai where Hideyoshi is located.
31:35cum
31:36That was Katsuie's plan for the decisive battle.
31:47On the other hand, how did Hideyoshi intend to confront Katsuie?
31:55Deciphering the Red Relief Map
31:58This reveals the strategy of the Hashiba army.
32:04Tatsuro Chiba, an expert in topography and geology.
32:08Then, Satoru Kawakami, who is knowledgeable about tactics, joined the investigation.
32:23Traces of a military encampment remain on the mountain ridge
32:26This is the Hashiba army's fort.
32:30To the south of the castle, Hideyoshi was building one fort after another.
32:36And they try to grasp the important thing that connects them.
32:46When I quickly looked at this map,
32:49I think this is a very important point if this is to be used as a battlefield.
32:56It's right as we pass over Hokkaido.
32:58Yes, so we just need to make this place impenetrable and defend it.
33:04Hideyoshi's target was the northern sea, which was part of Katsuie's advance route.
33:09It's a road.
33:13They built a defensive line with four forts to block their passage.
33:18I did.
33:21Even if the initial line of defense were breached, a second line of defense was in place.
33:28We will contain Shibata's army with a two-pronged approach.
33:34It looks like a frontal assault will be difficult after all.
33:38Katsuie must be getting impatient by now, wanting to be able to travel this road again.
33:44If so, tens of thousands of troops could move south all at once.
33:50That's why.
33:53Shibata's army cannot move forward at this rate.
34:00However, Katsuie
34:02Find the enemy's weakness
34:05We will now go on the offensive.
34:10The Hideyoshi-style defense line seemed impenetrable.
34:14Where was the hole?
34:18This also appeared on the red relief map.
34:24This is Hideyoshi's camp.
34:27This is the first line of defense, a fortress.
34:30The earthworks and moats are intricately constructed.
34:37On the other hand, the forts of the second line of defense were simply constructed.
34:43Because we were far from the front lines, our defenses were weak.
34:50So Katsuie launched a surprise attack using a different torso.
34:55Go around along the mountain ridge
34:58They attacked the second line of defense, which had been left unguarded.
35:02I didn't expect you to come from that direction.
35:07The operation was a resounding success.
35:13Following the Hideyoshi-style Oiwayama Fort
35:17Iwasakiyama Fort falls.
35:21This caused the second line of defense to collapse.
35:26Katsuie greatly influenced the course of the battle.
35:36This Battle of Shizugatake is exactly what was depicted in the stories of the Toyotomi brothers.
35:40It's just a temporary thing, though.
35:43Well, it's a slightly different perspective from that of the Toyotomi brothers.
35:47It's a red relief map, you see.
35:49That way we could look down on the scenery and see what it was like the other day.
35:53But
35:54Back then,
35:57That's right.
35:58Katsuie had successfully outmaneuvered Hideyoshi and launched a surprise attack.
36:02In fact, there was another overwhelmingly advantageous situation for Katsuie.
36:07There was
36:08So, Hideyoshi wasn't at Shizugatake at that time, right?
36:13Yes, that's right.
36:14At this time, Hideyoshi was at Ogaki Castle in Mino Province and was at Shizugatake.
36:20So you were away from the battlefield.
36:22In an attempt to defeat Oda Nobutaka, Nobunaga's third son who was allied with Katsuie
36:27There was
36:27Well, then, from Katsuie's perspective, that surprise attack was successful.
36:32Moreover, without a general like Hideyoshi...
36:36I'm starting to think Katsuie's victory is a sure thing.
36:41But the scary thing about war is that it doesn't always turn out that way.
36:45Something unexpected happened to Katsuie.
36:51The morning of the Battle of Shizugatake
36:57Suddenly, Hideyoshi's army of over 10,000 men appears on the battlefield.
37:05Hideyoshi covered 50 kilometers in just 5 hours after leaving Ogaki.
37:12He ran back the distance.
37:13Huh?
37:16A super-fast movement known as the Mino Great Return.
37:23A cruising speed of 10 kilometers per hour is far less than that of the Great Return from China.
37:28It's faster than that.
37:32How did Hideyoshi accomplish this miraculous feat?
37:39There is a tie here.
37:41This is precisely the path that Hideyoshi took when he made his rapid return.
37:46Hideyoshi came from this direction.
37:49It kept curving like this, heading towards Shizugatake.
37:57The one used in the Great Return from Mino was
38:00It was a route called Hokkoku Wakiokan, which branched off from the Hokkoku Kaido road.
38:08The place through which this road passed was involved in the realization of the divine act.
38:13I say
38:17That's Nagahama
38:21This is a castle town that was once ruled by Hideyoshi.
38:26Even today, Hideyoshi's battle standard can be seen in various places.
38:30You can see gourd-shaped objects, showing the love for Hideyoshi.
38:34It is mentioned.
38:39Hiroshi Ota, who has been researching the Battle of Shizugatake for many years.
38:45The success of the Great Return was made possible by the support of the people of Nagahama.
38:50I think so
38:54The Ando family, influential local merchants who lived in this mansion, also...
38:59one
39:02The Ando family apparently acted as guides when the army was retreating.
39:08Tradition
39:09In homes that have one
39:10I think they might have cooperated with Hideyoshi's military actions.
39:15sea urchin
39:16It is possible.
39:23The Great Return of Mino, accomplished with the cooperation of the local community
39:28Hideyoshi and his men rushed back without taking a break.
39:31It is said that the people of Nagahama provided food.
39:38As expected, the people of Nagahama town
39:42So, it was a very tragic situation for Hideyoshi, wasn't it?
39:47In terms of his achievements, I think it was truly a tragedy.
39:56Hideyoshi, riding on his momentum, begins his counterattack.
40:03Shibata's army did not collapse.
40:06Katsuie was forced to retreat.
40:15Echizen, the girl from the north
40:23Two days after the Battle of Shizugatake
40:26The castle was besieged by Hideyoshi's large army.
40:32As the final moment approaches
40:35Katsuie had a duty that he had to fulfill.
40:42That concerns the future of my wife and my three daughters.
40:49At the end of his life, Katsuie
40:51I am trying to help Mr. Oichi and his three daughters escape.
40:56To let someone who is descended from the Oda family escape is
40:59This can truly be seen as Katsuie's final act for the Oda family.
41:03I think so
41:09After negotiations with Hideyoshi, Katsuie gave up his one and three daughters.
41:15I decide to send them out of the castle.
41:19The hips that carried them were
41:21I left the girl from the north behind.
41:30Lord Nobunaga
41:32Lord Katsuie
41:351. You said we should run away, so why...
41:40Since the couple's julienned hair was tied together
41:42I will go with you to the underworld.
41:561. Lord Nobunaga, I am sorry.
42:11April 24, 1583
42:16Katsuie ended his life in the castle tower of the northern girl.
42:24Nishitakaji Temple, located very close to the castle.
42:30The graves of Katsuie and Ichi still stand side by side in silence.
42:38Shibata Katsuie, who made a name for himself during the Sengoku period
42:44He was a warrior who remained loyal to Nobunaga until the very end.
42:52Loyalty, responsibility, love, etc.
42:57Born with something special
43:00That manifests itself as some kind of strength.
43:02That was the impression I had of Katsuie.
43:06yes
43:06But in the end, this is actually
43:09The fact that he fought against Katsuie and defeated him
43:13I think it held great significance for Hideyoshi.
43:16He defeated Shibata Katsuie.
43:18Other daimyo throughout the country had no choice but to acknowledge Hideyoshi.
43:23I think that's what led to the unification of the country.
43:27I think that shows just how significant Katsuie's presence was.
43:33That's right, I think so too.
43:36As I said at the beginning, becoming an old fogey, becoming a huge obstacle.
43:39Ultimately, it's about transcending those things and conveying something to the next generation.
43:44I wonder if he was a warlord?
43:45I agree
43:49Now, Director, once again, for today's investigation, I'd like to invite Mr. Katsuya Yamaguchi.
43:53I tried it out, what did you think?
43:56No, really, you know, Shibata Katsuie's image is that of a brave warrior, but rather...
44:01There is a page, but
44:02But it's not just that, he's also clever.
44:06Also, well, aesthetic sense, like castles and stuff.
44:10I also understood very well that such a thing existed.
44:12Well, and above all, I'm really looking forward to the next episode featuring the Toyotomi brothers.
44:16I'm so excited, what should I do?
44:19You just have to see it, don't you?
44:20I agree
44:21By the way, Director, I forgot to tell you about Mr. Shakuda.
44:26I have been there before.
44:27What's going on? The show's over already!
44:28Actually, after Katsuie's death, Hideyoshi also wanted Shakuda Aneuji,
44:33Apparently, they had it transported to Kyoto from the front.
44:35The number is 550.
44:37550 of them, what did you use them for?
44:40It's the toilet, right?
44:42So many toilets, what kind of toilets are they?
44:49Next time, we'll talk about dogs and Japanese people.
44:52Is it true that Queen Himiko had a pet?
44:54Furthermore, the Shiba Inu is facing extinction.
44:58We will investigate the long-standing relationship between dogs and Japanese people.
45:00Want to try being a detective?
