Netizens familiar with japan's history know that tokugawa jiakang was in the battle of kahara, the defeat of mr. shima's 30% support of the fengchen xiu lai xi army, only to determine its subsequent dominance for more than 300 years. And because of this decisive battle, a general was implicated and eventually built a city on his own vassal flights to suzhou land, leaving a magnificent castle for future generations of Japan.
The general is zu zu-yi shuan, ishida in 1600 to lead the western army defeated tokukawa jiakang. After the defeat, all the men and women ran, surrendered to surrender, only Zuo Zhuyi still insisted on fighting.
Although tokugawa praised mr zao's loyalty, he cut his territory from 540,000 stone to 180,000 stone after the war, and moved him to the north-east kubaotian, today's akita county.
At this time the Tokugawa family Kang's strength is huge, has actually been in power, the defeated Zuo Zhuyixin to him fear. To avoid tokugawa's attention and to strengthen its defenses, ms. zao is not a site on the main road, but to build its own vassal city on pingshan city.
Tokugawa Jiakang in Edo the second year of the shogunate, the construction of Jiubaotian City completed. The city of this period, there is only a large palace, and the surrounding several small octagonal houses. The whole building is neither extravagant nor atmospheric, and looks so shabby that even a decent stone sculpture is rarely seen.
But in fact akita county is an extremely rich territory, the terrain is flat, the water is plentiful, rich in products, so even the defeated mr. zao is not poor. And the reason why the castle is so low-key, it is not difficult to see the fear of Tokugawa Yixin, afraid of attracting his attention.
After the death of Zuo Zhuyi, Akita County also took place several campaigns one after another, relying on the geographical advantages of Jiubaotian City easy to defend and attack, the Zuo Zhu family defeated several invasion wars. The war did not destroy the castle, but in 1880 a night-time fire destroyed the city. In this fire, except for the east and south near the river to preserve some, the rest are buried in the fire.
Ironically, the site was occupied by the military after the fire, and it wasn't until 10 years after the fire that the family bought back some of it flights from kota kinabalu to shenzhen and then rebuilt it at a cost. A large number of cherry trees were planted on the ruins of the 19th century, and a shrine was built to become a thousand-year-old park. The family also donated some of the sites to cooperate.
By the 1980s, the family had donated 14.6 hectares of land, and since then Kubaotian City has become part of Qianqiu Park, listed as an important cultural relic in Japan, is a landmark cultural tourism landscape in Akita Prefecture, and is loved by tourists.
Today's castle has become a museum with a collection of historical events, including the presence of shrines, frequented by japanese and tourists. When the cherry blossoms are in full bloom in April every year, they are often very lively.
Only a few tens of meters above sea level mountain city, high can be expected under the mountains of Akita County, but do not know the year of Zuo Zhuyi Xuan, looking at the distant Edo is what kind of mood. Today's family is very low-key and mysterious, but it has an important influence in both business and government in Japan, but in the past this "ancestral house" has been owned by the Japanese nationals, listed as a national treasure, and for the loss of this ancestral castle, the descendants of the family must be a little more proud.
