In 1585, Hideyoshi Hashiba aimed to conquer Shikoku and first tried to negotiate a peace agreement with Motochika Chosokabe. Motochika asked for control of Tosa and Iyo on the condition that he handed over Awa and Sanuki and offered his son as a hostage, but due to opposition from the Mori clan, he was not allowed to rule Iyo. After the negotiations broke down, Hideyoshi appointed Hidenaga Hashiba as commander-in-chief and launched an invasion from three directions. The forces of Hidenaga and Hidetsugu Hashiba attacked Awa, the forces of Ukita attacked Sanuki, and the Mori attacked Iyo. Motochika continued to resist by barricading himself in Shiroji Castle, but faced with an overwhelming difference in military strength, he was persuaded by his vassals and decided to surrender. As a result, a peace agreement was concluded on the condition that only Tosa was allowed to remain. Hideyoshi divided Shikoku into parts and ruled over them, giving Awa to the Hachisuka clan, Sanuki to the Sengoku clan, and Iyo to the Kobayakawa clan, establishing a foothold for his next conquest of Kyushu. ▼Table of contents00:01 The night before the invasion of Shikoku begins January 13th year of Tensho (1585)07:55 The invasion of Shikoku begins10:49 The battle situation in Awa Attackers: Hashiba Hidenaga, Hashiba Hidetsugu13:44 The battle situation in Sanuki Attackers: Ukita Hideie, Hachisuka Masakatsu, Kuroda Yoshitaka, Sengoku Hidehisa14:37 The battle situation in Iyo Attackers: Kobayakawa Takakage, Kikkawa Motonaga18:28 The road to surrender22:46 Shikoku Kokubun▼Recommended videosThe Battle of Itsukushima An unexpected surprise attack. • The Battle of Itsukushima An unexpected surprise attack.
