Who is regarded as Japan's second "great unifier", and is reponsible for taking Miki Castle of Harima Province from Bessho Nagaharu?
Siege of Miki The siege of Miki (三木合戦 ) lasted from 1578 to 1580. Toyotomi Hideyoshi took Miki Castle of Harima Province, located in what is now Miki, Hyōgo, Japan, from Bessho Nagaharu, an ally of the Mōri clan.
Fall of Osaka Castle On February 2, 1868, the Tokugawa-held Osaka Castle was captured by pro-Imperial "Kangun" forces. The fall followed the Tokugawa defeat in the Battle of Toba–Fushimi. Troops loyal to the "bakufu" tried to regroup under Tokugawa Yoshinobu. At Osaka Castle, Tokugawa Yoshinobu gathered his advisors and military leaders to plan strategy and, to boost morale, advised that he would personally take to the field as commander of "bakufu" forces.
