Japan: The Second Boshin War

The "2nd Boshin War" began when the "源氏将軍" began skirmishing/raiding the "Chūbu" Region. This is a large point in history as it is when many large Clans would begin possibly clashing against one another with no clear victor. What is known for sure is that the Minamoto were the most powerful during these battles.

The taking of this region would certainly give the victorious Clan a major advantage. It is the 2nd largest area in population with the Minamoto holding the most civilians/warriors in Japan. However it is one of the largest regions in land mass on Japan.

## Events:

### December 19th,

12:21 A.M. Central - The Minamoto prepare for raids on multiple areas near their borders in the Chūbu region such as Yamanashi, Nagano, and Niigata in secrecy. Many other small factions prepare for the possible attacks from the Sanada/Minamoto Shogunates, but the Minamoto have some tricks up their sleeves.

### December 21st,

??:?? P.M. Central - Over the past 2 days the Niigata Clan was captured in surprise. The Minamoto used stealthy tactics so they could catch the enemy in their villages/towns off guard then send in large groups of troops so they could take them. They did many inventive things such as lighting barracks/guard buildings on fire then attacking them from surprise until eventually sending in a militia. Because of the Minamoto's large military, conquering Niigata was very easy. In the end they executed the Shogunate/Emperor or Empress then took Niigata for themselves. Around 100 Shogun were sent in so they could settle down the place and get it back on track. This took around 1-3 days until all of that militia group returned.

### December 22,

Large portions of the Minamoto army were sent into Toyama/Shizuoka. They are both conquered by the vast army of the Minamoto and don't stand a chance. Over the past day heavy fighting has been carried out in both the states with the Minamoto suffering minor casualties. As usual they execute the Emperor/Shogunate or Empress then asset their dominance by declaring their control. Over all the Minamoto had lost 30 good men in the fighting.

### December 26th,

Over the past 4 days Ishikawa, Fukui, Gifu, Shiga, and Aichi were conquered by the Minamoto. Because of the large numbers used by the Minamoto they quickly took down the hostile Clans with creative tactics, and strategic thinking. The main way of taking things quickly was using things that could take down town, village, and city walls so the large military could quickly push through their land. This lasted over (as we mentioned before) 4 days. Finally once they were all conquered the Minamoto decided that they would take more military strength then had around 1,500 soldiers, and they could now even rival current factions such as the German Imperials. Though they seem impressive the Minamoto are currently focused on taking all of Japan first. Currently they are working on a treaty with the Sanada Shogunate as they are now land-locked, and heavily outnumbered.

### December 28th,

After noticing they accidently began conquering the Kansai region the Minamoto quickly take over Kyoto and Mie in around 2 days for starters. The Military bows before their new Imperial leader, and then joined the army thus giving them around 1,700 Warriors. With the quickly expanding Minamoto many foreign/unknown Clans begin preparing for a potential invasion. Meanwhile the Sanada refuses surrender, but is heavily outnumbered. The Minamoto are ready for a Siege at any moment, but however they ask one last time.

2:20 P.M. Central - The rest of the Kansai region are heavily outnumbered leaving them only one choice. The Kansai clans surrender before the Minamoto Imperials begging for mercy. The Minamoto take control of their Clans, and then execute the Emperors/Shogunates leaving them with the military. Now the war is almost over, and the Minamoto wait for one final response from the Sanada.

### December 29th 1100,

The war officially ends a decade later will all of the Minamoto's land being stabilized, and secured.
