別所長治公像 - Miki

There are museums and history museums.

There is a parking lot. You can see Miki Town from the hill.

It is a fine stone statue. You can see that it is still very popular in the local area.

I did not appreciate Choto's separate location until I saw this statue, but when I looked at this statue, portrait, historical material, it seemed that it was never an ordinary warrior. Even if it looks on the land, it is only a result theory that the judgment on Mouri direction has been lost, and it is young, so I guessed that it was partly something I had to ask the opinion of Shigemasa. Even now it seems that the local people were longed for by the fact that there were statues like this at that time and now.

It's a statue made by Rotary Club, so I don't think it's of great historical value.

Traveling with two people on a motorcycle. A young warrior of luck. Your wife also committed suicide. 38 Mine-chan.

From 1578 (Tensho 6) to 1580 (Tensho 8), a battle between Mr. Oda and Mr. Bessho occurred in Miki City, Hyogo Prefecture. The Hideyoshi Hashiba (later Toyotomi Hideyoshi) army of the Oda side attacked "Miki Castle" with the aid of his wife and children in exchange for helping the lives of the castle owners such as Choji Bessho. At this time, the last banquet was held with a gift from Hideyoshi. And Mr. Bessho surrendered. The long battle of about two years has ended. The Miki battle, which was devastated by the Hoshiba Hideyoshi army's attack on soldiers, is also known as Miki's death.

His father, Yasuharu Bessho, died of illness at the young age of 39, and Choji, the son of a prince, became the fifth lord of the castle at the age of 13. Because of his childhood, his two younger brothers, Yoshichika Bessho and Shigemune, guarded him. At first, following Nobunaga Oda, he participated in the war as a pioneer corps for the conquest of Mori. Oda Nobunaga was slaughtered at Kozuki Castle by the Oda army (all wives and children in the castle were skewered and killed with a crucifixion to show off), and the relationship between Hideyoshi Hashiba and his uncle Yoshichika Bessho deteriorated in the Kakogawa rating. I left and turned over to Mr. Mouri. The other warlords of Harima went along with this and challenged the battle against Nobunaga Oda's large army of Hashiba. However, Bessho Nagaharu's other uncle, Bessho Yoshichika's younger brother Bessho Shigemune (Shigemune), did not obey Yoshichika and followed Hashiba Hideyoshi, so Mr. Bessho was divided into a head family and a branch family to fight. It became. The Mino River runs to the north of Miki Castle, which is a natural digging, with cliffs in the east and west, and mountains and valleys in the south, making it a major fortress. In addition, it was an impregnable fortress with its defenses strengthened at branch castles such as Tanjoyama Castle, Awakawa Castle, Shikata Castle, and Kamiyoshi Castle. Hanbei Takenaka, a warrior of the Hashiba Hideyoshi army, said that it would be difficult to attack Miki Castle directly, and recommended Hideyoshi to attack the siege. Hideyoshi carried out this siege of Hanbei's siege, and although it took about two years, he forced Miki Castle into a fallen castle. It is a battle called the slaughter of Miki. Then, on January 17, 1945, he died himself on the condition that he would save the life of the castle soldier 7,000. He was 23 years old. However, the promise to save the lives of the castle soldiers was not kept, and the theory that there was a genocide of the castle soldiers is predominant. However, after Bessho Nagaharu's suicide, it is said that Bessho's warlords Hirooki Fujita and Ukon's parents and children returned to their own castle, Bishamon Castle, where they committed suicide, so the above cannot be said to be the correct theory. Will be. This statue was erected by Miki Lions Club.
