English: Following Nobunaga ODA's order, Hideyoshi TOYOTOMI concentrated on an attack against Miki-jo Castle where Nagaharu BESSHO was besieged (the Battle of Miki), so Hideyoshi TOYOTOMI requested Katsuhisa AMAGO and his vassals to withdraw from Kozuki-jo Castle.
Japanese: 豊臣秀吉は織田信長の命により、別所長治が籠る三木城攻略に専念することとなり（三木合戦）、尼子主従に上月城からの撤退を要請した。

English: I appreciate that you made me a head of Amago once, otherwise I would have spent my whole life being wrapped in a clerical garment.'
Japanese: 「法衣をまとって一生を送るべきはずであった自分を一度は尼子の大将にしてくれたことを感謝する。」

English: Morimasa SAKUMA (1554 - July 1, 1583) was a vassal of the Oda clan.

Japanese: 佐久間軍記によれば「身長六尺」（約182センチメートル）とあり、数値の真偽は別としてかなりの巨漢であったことが窺える。
English: Morimasa continued joining various battles, including the Siege of Tezutsuyama Castle in Echizen Province (against Yoshiaki ASAKURA) in 1570, the Battle of Yasugawara (against Yoshikata ROKKAKU) and the Battle of Makishima Castle (against Yoshiaki ASHIKAGA) in 1573, and performed distinguished war service.

Japanese: このとき救援に向かった盛政が到着したときには既に落城していたが、盛政はそのまま上杉軍に挑みかかり、これを破った。
English: In the same year, when local samurais of Noto Province staged an uprising and held up fighting in Arayama Castle by the instigation of Kagekatsu, Morimasa headed for a rescue in response to a demand by Toshiie MAEDA and beat the Uesugi army stationed at the back of the castle.
Japanese: さらに同年、能登国の地侍が景勝の扇動により蜂起して荒山城に籠城した際、前田利家の要請に応じて救援し、城の後詰に来ていた上杉軍を討った。

Japanese: 天正10年（1582年）の本能寺の変による信長の没後は柴田勝家に従った。
English: As Katsuie SHIBATA deepened its confrontation against Hideyoshi TOYOTOMI after the Kiyosu conference, the two finally faced each other by the Lake Yogo of Omi Province in 1583.
Japanese: 柴田勝家は清洲会議以後豊臣秀吉との対立を深め、天正11年（1583年）ついに両者は近江国余呉湖畔で対陣する。
English: However, a vassal of Katsutoyo SHIBATA, who was an adopted child of Katsuie and had switched sides to Hideyoshi, let out information to the camp of Morimasa to the effect that Hideyoshi was in Ogaki and away from his castle.
Japanese: このとき勝家の養子であったが秀吉側に寝返っていた柴田勝豊の家臣が、密かに盛政の陣に駆け込み、秀吉が大垣に赴いていて留守であることを伝えた。
English: Katsuie opposed the proposal first, but finally agreed at a strong request by Morimasa on the condition that 'the Morimasa's army should be back as soon as destroying the fort'.
Japanese: 当初はこれに反対した勝家であったが、盛政の強い要望により妥協し、「砦を落としたらすぐ戻ること」という条件つきで承諾した。
English: The raid by Morimasa ended in success by beating Kiyohide, which led the first battle of the Shizugatake Battle to victory.
Japanese: 盛政の急襲作戦は見事に成功し、盛政は清秀を討ち取り、賤ヶ岳の戦いの緒戦を勝利に導いた。
English: After gaining a foothold through the victory, Morimasa was preparing for the next battle to attack the camp of Hidenaga TOYOTOMI to determine the winner of the battle.
Japanese: 盛政はこの勝利を足がかりにして戦の勝敗を決しようと、次に豊臣秀長の陣を討つべく準備にとりかかっていた。
English: Meanwhile, Morimasa demanded that Shigeharu KUWAYAMA, who defended the Shizugatake fort, surrender with the fort, for which KUWAYAMA replied that 'I will not resist but please wait until sunset', and the fall of the Shizugatake fort seemed to be just around the corner.
Japanese: この後、賤ヶ岳砦を守備する桑山重晴にも降伏し砦を明け渡すように命令しており桑山も「抵抗は致さぬが日没まで待って欲しい」と返答し賤ヶ岳砦の陥落も間近であった。
English: However, Nagahide NIWA, which arrived by ship across Lake Biwa with reinforcements, took the offensive by joining the Kuwayama army that was vacating the fort around sunset, and Morimasa failed to capture the fort of Shizugatake.
Japanese: しかし、琵琶湖を渡って船で上陸した丹羽長秀が増援として現れ、日没頃より砦から退去を桑山隊と合流し攻勢に出た為に賤ヶ岳砦の確保に失敗。
English: As Hideyoshi, who waited for the moment, returned to the battle field in a forced march as planned, Morimasa was isolated in the middle of the enemy.
Japanese: この機を待っていた秀吉が、かねてから準備していたとおり強行軍で戦場に戻ってきたため、盛政は敵中に孤立してしまった。
English: The contact between the Morimasa's force and the Katsuie's headquarters was cut, as the force of Toshiie MAEDA did not move.
Japanese: このとき、前田利家の部隊が動かなかったため、盛政の部隊と勝家の本陣の連絡が断たれた。
English: Consequently, the Katsuie's army suffered a crushing defeat to the Hideyoshi's army, and Morimasa tried to retreat to Kaga Province to make a comeback later.
Japanese: 結果的に勝家軍は秀吉軍に大敗し、盛政は再起を図って加賀に落ち延びようとした。
English: Knowing that his life was drawing to an end, Morimasa asked them to hand him over to Hideyoshi to meet Hideyoshi face-to-face.
Japanese: 命運の尽きたことを悟った盛政は、自ら直接秀吉に対面したいので引き渡すよう言った。
English: After Morimasa was transferred, Nagamasa ASANO taunted him by saying that 'I don't understand why someone like you, who was called 'Oni Genba', didn't commit suicide upon defeat', and Morimasa replied, 'when MINAMOTO no Yoritomo was defeated by Kagechika OBA, he survived by hiding himself in a cave of a tree and achieved something great later', and people around him got impressed by that.
Japanese: 引き渡されたとき、浅野長政に「鬼玄蕃とも言われたあなたが、なぜ敗れて自害しなかったのか」と愚弄されたが、「源頼朝公は大庭景親に敗れたとき、木の洞に隠れて逃げ延び、後に大事を成したではないか」と言い返し、周囲をうならせたという。
English: Hideyoshi, who appreciated the military prowess of Morimasa, urged Morimasa to work under him by proposing that Higo Province would be given to Morimasa, but Morimasa could not forget the great kindness of Nobunaga ODA and Katsuie, and pleaded to die from being dragged around a town in a gorgeous costume.
Japanese: 秀吉は盛政の武勇を買って九州平定後に肥後国一国を与えるので家臣になれと強く誘ったが、盛政は織田信長や勝家から受けた大恩を忘れることはできず、願わくは派手な衣装を着用の上、引き回しののち刑死したいと願った。

English: Morimasa was dragged around the city of Kyoto and later beheaded in Makishima, Uji City.
Japanese: 果たして京都市中を引き回された盛政は、やがて宇治市・槙島で斬首された。

Japanese: 盛政には虎姫(中川秀成室)という娘がいたが、後に秀吉の命により中川清秀の二男中川秀成に嫁ぎ、豊後国・岡藩主の奥方となった。

Japanese: 秀成は、虎姫の死後、その悲願を汲んで、五男の内記に盛政の家を復興させた。
English: Also, it is believed that there was a clan which succeeded the family name of Morimasa among the vassals of the Tokugawa family of Owari Domain.
Japanese: また、それとは別に盛政の名跡を継いだ家が尾張藩徳川家の家臣として存在したという話がある。
English: It is said that a son of Torahime's daughter, Shigeyuki SAKUMA, served as the first family head, and followed by Shigenao, Shigekatsu, Shigekata, Shigetoyo and Masashige.
Japanese: 虎姫の娘の子、佐久間重行が初代で、重行、重直、重勝、重賢、重豊、雅重と続いたという。
English: Behind the appointment, there seems to have been the support from Shigemune ITAKURA, Kyoto shoshidai (Kyoto deputy), and Katsuyuki SAKUMA (a younger brother of Morimasa), the lord of Naganuma Domain of Shinano Province.
Japanese: その背景には京都所司代・板倉重宗と信濃国長沼藩主、佐久間勝之（盛政の弟）の力添えがあったようである。

English: The reason for his Kaieki, punishment, was technically said as the unauthorized marriage of the adopted daughter of Tadachika and Shigenobu YAMAGUCHI, however, there are many theories on the real reasons such as the one by the Incident of Nagayasu OKUBO, or by the conspiracy of Masanobu HONDA and Masazumi HONDA, or by Ieyasu who had the intention to get rid of the Toyotomi government alienated Tadachika who had a close relationship with Saigoku Daimyo (Japanese territorial lord in western Japan) and might present a peace plan (according to the "Tadayo and Tadachika OKUBO, the Lord of the Odawara Domain" written by Kuniteru MITSUGI) but the clear reason has not been known.
Japanese: 改易の理由は表向きには忠隣の養女と山口重信との無断婚姻が理由とされているが、実際の理由は大久保長安事件によるとする説や本多正信・正純による策謀とする説、豊臣政権を一掃しようと考えていた家康が、西国大名と親しく、また和平論を唱える可能性のあった忠隣を遠ざけたとする説（三津木國輝『小田原藩主大久保忠世・忠隣』）など諸説あり、明確な理由は不明である。
