Japan: The Third Boshin War

After the Semi-Success of the Second war the Imperial/Minamoto Military begin spreading their influence throughout the Tohoku region. The Plan for this war was mostly their prime tactics/military strength. Now that most of the South was conquered it was time they continued their conquest after the second Bishon war that took place a decade ago

Ever since the past Decade Akamatsu Genji was been growing old, and weak. After conquering the North he plans on giving his little brother "Tokama Genji" who is currently 19 the title of "Emperor".

## Events:

### December 31st, 1100

5:21 P.M. Central - The Imperial/Minamoto begin implanting Samurai, and assassins in the Northern regions of Japan. He readies his troops for battle, and calls on the Oda for assistance.

9:53 P.M. Central - After around 4 hours of fighting the Province of Fukushima's military has been surprised attacked, and weakened. The Imperial Minamoto have made a quick, and decisive move. Multiple Fukushima Clan Commanders/Leader have been assassinated by specially train Shogun, and left many of the Cities/Towns weakened as they had no leadership plus the Minamoto stormed in afterwards then slaughtered the rest. The Military was heavily crippled then split in a Quarter of what they originally were. Tomorrow Fukushima will most likely be conquered by the Minamoto, and the Oda warriors that aid them.

11:04 P.M. Central - 50 Minamoto escort Akamatsu through the lawless northern lands, and into Aomori. Upon arrival they aren't hostile, and request entry into "The Wall".

### January 1st, 1101

11:50 A.M. - The Shiroi Taiyō clan refuses entry into their border, and tells the escort to leave before they force them to.

### January 2nd, 1101

1:16 A.M. Central - Akamatsu leaves heavily angered by the Shiroi Taiyō's refusal. Meanwhile the forces in Fukushima attempt to take a majority hold there, and eventually try to end the corrupt lawless lands, though resistance by false clans and bandit guilds proves heavy. Despite this, the Minamoto have officially begun their attempt of restoring order in Northern Japan.

### January 3rd, 1101

5:58 PM - Akamatsu Genji’s brother, Tokama is found dead in his castle. Rumors of Sanada clan ninja assassinating him with poison go around the Genji.

1:15 P.M. Central - Akamatsu Genji figures out that the body is fake, and the rumor was spread so they could start chaos in the Minamoto. Tokama has always been under his close watch, and he begins researching who could've done this.

12:30 P.M. (Pacific) - Fuji leaves to Hokkaido to try and make an alliance with the Kegawa clans, and puts his lieutenant Pikurusu Rikku in charge of keeping the lands behind the Sun Wall safe until he returns. With the foreign shogun approaching their contested lands against the bandits and false samurai, the Shiroi Taiyō clan has more footsoldiers- mainly Yūgure no yari and Yoake no ite/Kiheitai no yumihei- sent from camps to protect the Wall in case of an attack by the shogun.

8:21 P.M. Central - A group of Minamoto that look like they are dressed with a mix of Samurai/Crusader armor begin moving into Miyagi spouting words like "*MANGA SHALL RULE!*", and normal Minamoto Samurai move into Yamagata. It's believed the ones in Miyagi are working with the Minamoto, but got their hands on the ancient text of manga.

### January 7th 1101,

10:29 P.M. Central - The Imperials develop a strategic strategy, and eventually conquer Yamagata. Their wide military allowed for some easy surprise attacks in darkened locations such as forests. Yamagata was finally captured after 4 days of battle. Meanwhile the large groups of unknown Crusader/Samurai warriors that are obviously working for the Minamoto eventually finish their first Crusader, and annex Miyagi using strange "Weeb" tactics that act much like a re-creation of events from the "Manga" then re-making them into guerilla warfare tactics. Miyagi, and Yamagata are officially controlled by the Minamoto. Their next targets for restoring order in are Akita and Iwate. The Minamoto soldiers will continue their war once they receive further orders, and establish new law in their newly conquered Provinces.

### January 15th 1101,

9:22 P.M. Central - The attempt to capture Akita and Iwate proves very difficult, with only part of the southern land being taken. The main force that holds the Minamoto clan off is a ronin warlord by the name of Himinoshu Keyamasi. Not caring whatsoever about the code of honor many warriors follow, he simply has a large group of archers constantly firing at anyone that approaches his land without announcement, and by setting alight nearby forests that many would have to pass to enter his area.

11:10 A.M. - Fuji returns to his lands with good news. A large clan on the coast of Hokkaido greeted him friendly and agreed to not attempt an invasion of his lands, in exchange he wouldn't attack them in turn. With the possibility of a large foreign force attacking from the north low, Fuji begins his own conquest of the Akita prefecture, ordering his soldiers from the Wall to march to the nearest castle occupied by bandits (Castle Wazaka). Fuji begins planning on how to take the castle as soon as possible, and orders Pikurusu Rikku to lead the men and set up camp close to the castle but out of reach of enemy archers.

### February 21st 1101,

8:34 P.M. Central - After a few weeks of planning and many more of action, the Minamoto secretly tunnel under Himinoshu Keyamasi's castle and send assassins in that take care of the Archers and their leader(s). Afterwards, a large force from the South takes down the Castle walls allowing for a quick invasion since there is limited planning and command in the lawless area since their leader(s) were/was assassinated. The Minamoto continue setting up Garrisons, bases, camps, etc and storm the Northern Akita lands. Eventually they come in contact with Pikurusu Rikku's forces. Instead of attacking them they help plan an attack on Castle Wazaka.

### April 19th 1140,

10:06 P.M. Central - The Imperial Shogunate eventually defeat the Syndicates, Shiro, and Kegawa clans. With Japan re-unified, it is put under new rule.
