Battle of Minatogawa
The Battle of Minatogawa(湊川の戦い) also known as the Battle of Minato River was fought in July 4, 1336 between Japanese forces loyal to Emperor Go-Daigo and the Ashikaga clan. The battle took place near the Minato River of Settsu Province (present day, Kobe, Hyōgo Prefecture). The Imperial force led by Kusunoki Masashige and Nitta Yoshisada attempted to intercept the Ashikaga force led by Ashikaga Takauji which had rebuilt its force by dominating forces of Kyushu through the victory at the Battle of Tatarahama.
==Background==
The previous year had resulted in the defeat of the Ashikaga clan by the Imperial force and Ashikaga Takauji had been forced to flee Kyoto for Kyushu. With the position of strength, Kusunoki Masashige attempted to persuade Emperor Daigo II to seek peace. Daigo refused, as he believed that the threat of the Ashikaga clan could be eliminated. Nitta Yoshisada was ordered to assemble the force to defeat the Ashikaga clan while Masashige was ordered back to his domain in disgrace.
Yoshisada launched his campaign but Akamatsu Norimura who sided with Ashikaga clan forced the Imperial force into a protracted siege by defending Shirohata Castle in Harima Province, which gave Ashikaga clan time to regroup and consolidate Kyushu forces by winning the Battle of Tatarahama. Immediately, Takauji launched the counter-invasion, convincing clans such as Hosokawa, Toki, and Kono to his side along the way and quickly moved his force by sea.
Informed of Takauji's advance, Yoshisada ended the siege and attempted to find a better defensive position by retreating to Settsu Province but with Norimura giving chase and the loss of morale, the Imperial force dwindled in number as local forces switched to the Ashikaga side.
