Everything about The Siege Of Shiroishi totally explained
The
siege of Shiroishi, in
1600, was one of several feudal Japanese battles leading up to the decisive
battle of Sekigahara which ended the
period of over 100 years of war, and was immediately followed by the establishment of the
Tokugawa shogunate. Shiroishi was a castle just south of the city of
Sendai, controlled by a retainer of
Uesugi Kagekatsu, who in turn was one of the chief supporters of
Ishida Mitsunari.
Date Masamune and
Mogami Yoshiaki, daimyo of large nearby domains, laid siege to this castle, beginning the conflict in the
north between the representatives of Ishida and Tokugawa. Its capture would also mark the first contribution of Date Masamune to the Sekigahara campaign.
This would be followed by two counter-sieges on the part of
Uesugi Kagekatsu and
Naoe Kanetsugu against the castles of
Hataya,
Kaminoyama and
Hasedo.
