1:08by 1573 or Nobunaga was starting to get
1:12a grip on the situation in central japan
1:15the once-powerful Miyoshi clan were
1:17being ousted from the mainland the
1:20temple fortresses of the eco Ichi were
1:22tied down in a state of constant siege
1:24the as I and a Sakura proved to be
1:27incapable of overcoming the Oda and the
1:30great Takeda Shingen supposedly had died
1:33halting the Takeda clan on their march
1:35west against Nobunaga the fog of turmoil
1:39was finally lifting and things were
1:41finally coming together the kinky region
1:44would soon be fully and Nobunaga's grasp
1:47the main threat to Oda power had been
1:50the Takeda clan when Shingen began his
1:52march west
1:53Nobunaga surely viewed it as dire
1:56circumstances however he had to rely on
1:59Tokugawa Ieyasu being capable of slowing
2:02down the Takeda as Nobunaga could not
2:05move for fear of the SI and Asakura
2:08taking advantage of his absence the best
2:11he could do was send aid and pray the
2:15Takeda had made it far
2:17pushing deep into Tokugawa territory as
2:19far as mikawa and even crossing the
2:22mountain passes between Shinano and
2:24Amino to seize the oda castle of
2:26gomorrah yet the supposed death of
2:30Shingen halted the Takeda onslaught the
2:32new head of the clan Takeda katsuyori
2:35would devote himself to carrying on
2:37shingen's plans yet it would be another
2:40year before he resumed any major action
2:43knowing Nobunaga now faced a plethora of
2:46foes the rebellious shogun ashikaga
2:50yoshimasa wring his position in kyoto in
2:53anticipation for the capitulation of the
2:55oda unfortunately for him shingen's
2:59death meant the oda weren't going
3:01anywhere and soon oda forces surrounded
3:04the Shogun's castle of Nijo yet it was
3:07here that the emperor intervened and
3:08caused both sides to agree to an uneasy
3:11truce a truce that would undoubtedly not
3:14laugh
3:15by August of 1573 Nobunaga alongside
3:19hashiba Hideyoshi once again attempted
3:22another siege of the eco iki stronghold
3:24at Nagashima in issei province yet once
3:28again the oda forces would be repelled
3:30from the castle
3:31this defeat brought Yoshiaki renewed
3:35confidence causing him to openly rally
3:37against Nobunaga for the second time
3:39that year shattering their flimsy truce
3:42this time the Shogun marched an army out
3:45to the famous og bridge hoping to tie
3:47Nobunaga down while the as I a Sakura
3:50and ego iki all launched simultaneous
3:53attacks against him
3:54however Yoshiaki had severely
3:57miscalculated as none of his allies were
3:59able to attack Nobunaga before
4:01Nobunaga's forces fell on the Shogun's
4:04crushing his army and breaking through
4:06into Nijo castle utterly crushed
4:09Yoshiaki surrendered and begged to keep
4:12his life a request
4:13Nobunaga granted yet we can see here he
4:17was finally at his wits end with
4:19Yoshiaki and shogun all politics knowing
4:22that he was now the unquestionable power
4:24in the capital Nobunaga would strip the
4:27Shogun of all authority and send him
4:29into exile the ashy kaga would
4:32officially be no more and with their
4:35fall the Shogunate was ultimately
4:38dismantled the 237 year reign of the
4:42ashikaga shogunate was over and now
4:45Nobunaga assumed full control over the
4:48capital unburdened by the weight of
4:50status or position with Yoshiaki finally
4:54out of his hair and that tacky dot
4:56momentarily quiet
4:57Nobunaga set out at the head of a Grand
5:00Army in aims to obliterate the last
5:02major clan rivals he had near the
5:05capital the SI and a Sakura his initial
5:09target would once again be the SI power
5:11base of o'donneii a site which over the
5:14past three years had seen much fighting
5:17yet with the oda army on the march a
5:20sakura yoshikawa quickly dispatched an
5:22army of 20,000 to aid the besieged as i
5:26this time Nobunaga anticipated Asakura
5:29reinforcements and laid a trap which
5:31coffee a Sakura army before they reached
5:33o'donneii
5:34ambushed and in a state of panic the
5:37Sakura army fled back into a season
5:39pursued by the main bulk of the oda
5:42forces in sight of the approaching oda
5:45army yoshi kaga opted to flee from his
5:47stronghold at Ichigo modani
5:49which was then burned to the ground by
5:51the oda as Nobunaga's armies quickly
5:54enveloped his province Yoshika gay would
5:57eventually commit seppuku on September
5:5916th and with his death the asakura clan
6:03was destroyed in addition the province
6:06of vacasa
6:07also fell to the oda for years the
6:10province had been owned by a minor
6:12branch of the Takeda clan yet due to
6:14infighting the ax Sakura had exerted
6:16their influence over the area yet with
6:19the fall of the ax Sakura both HSN and
6:21Wakasa fell into oda hands with the ax
6:25Sakura wiped out aside Nagamasa was now
6:28surrounded in o'donneii castle as aura
6:31troops poured back over the border into
6:33owe me from a season to firmly continue
6:36the siege of his power base unable to
6:39repel the order forces no matter how
6:41hard he valiantly tried Nagamasa knew he
6:45was beaten Nagamasa
6:47who was married to Nobunaga's sister
6:49luigi made an honourable gesture and
6:51released her and their daughters back
6:53into Nobunaga's care following this he
6:57and his father along with much of the SI
6:59leadership then committed seppuku with
7:03this the SI clan were also destroyed
7:06Nobunaga was victorious in the aftermath
7:11of the conflict the heads of both as i
7:14Nagamasa and a sakura yoshika gay would
7:17be lacquered in gold and presented to
7:19Nobunaga at a great feast in the case of
7:23the conquered territory Nobunaga would
7:25bestow the newly acquired lands to some
7:28of his finest retainers portions of each
7:31season were divided between Maya to see
7:34a few WA Mizu Haru
7:36and Sasha Lori masa while the rich as I
7:40territory in owe me was given to none
7:42other than hashiba Hideyoshi so what can
7:48we learn from this after the death of
7:50Takeda Shingen shogun ashikaga yoshimasa
7:56yet
7:57finally after Nobunaga's failure to
7:59seize Nagashima in 1573 Yoshiaki marched
8:03out with an army to oppose Nobunaga this
8:07ended poorly for him as no one was able
8:09to come to his aid before his forces
8:12were crushed and his stronghold was
8:13besieged at this point Nobunaga finally
8:17cast out the Shogun and dismantled the
8:19Shogunate he was now the ultimate power
8:22Nobunaga then moved on to deal a killing
8:25blow to the Azai and a sakura leading a
8:28massive army against o'donneii castle he
8:30would instead only mask the castle and
8:33take the fight to the sakura who quickly
8:35capitulated with no more allies and
8:37completely surrounded
8:39as i Nagamasa returned Nobunaga's sister
8:42and their daughters and then opted to
8:44commit suicide with this victory
8:46Nobunaga was now the unquestionable
8:49ruler of the entire region in the next
