Naoe Kanetsugu
In 1600, however, the Uesugi opposed Tokugawa Ieyasu in the Sekigahara Campaign, and lost, becoming "tozama daimyō" (outsider lords) under the new shogunate. Their income and territory worth 1,200,000 "koku" was reduced to 300,000, and they were forced to leave their holdings in Aizu, and were allowed to keep only Yonezawa, which they recovered from Naoe Kanetsugu. Their new domain thus consisted of 180,000 "koku" in Dewa Province, and 120,000 "koku" in neighboring Mutsu province. This 300,000 "koku" territory would represent the peak of the Uesugi clan's income during the Tokugawa period.
