Asano Nagamasa

Asano Nagamasa ( 浅 野 長 政 ; May 1546-29, 1611) is one of the chief advisors of Toyotomi Hideyoshi . He fought in a number of his campaigns (campaign against the Mori clan, Imda war ). He also fought against the Hojo clan and captured the castles of Iwatsuki and Edo. Asano, like his father, served as an archer at Nobunaga . However, soon by order of his master, he was transferred to Hideyoshi's command and in 1573 received from him an annual fee of 120 koku rice. In 1582, Nagamasa was appointed the owner of Sakamoto Castle in Omi Province, and in 1587 - the owner of Obama Castle in Wakasa Province. In 1593, thanks to his exploits and family ties, Asano received from Hideyoshi an inheritance of 220 thousand koku with a center in the Futu castle of Kai province. Also in 1598, Asano was sent to Korea with Ishida Mitsunari to organize the withdrawal of troops. The generals assured Asano that the war was going well and that they were on the verge of victory. However, Isis did not agree and supported the withdrawal of troops from Korea. In 1598, before the death of the overlord, Nagamasa was included in the Council of Five Overseers, the organ of the chief administrators of the Toyotomi clan, and in 1600 took part in the Battle of Sekigahara on the side of the eastern coalition under the command of Tokugawa Ieyasu. Nagamas was replaced by his son Asano Yoshinaga ^[1] .
