Takeda Shingen: Wind and Forest Fire (part 1 and 2)
About This Novel
"Takeda Shingen: Furin Volcano" is a full-length historical novel written by the famous Japanese historical novelist Jiro Nitta, with Takeda Shingen as the protagonist, "Napoleon" and "the first strategist of the Warring States Period" in Japan's Warring States Period. During the turbulent Warring States Period in Japan, the 20-year-old young hero Takeda Shingen, with the support of his family and the people, expelled his tyrannical and unscrupulous father without bloodshed. The pulse of youth is full of desire and ambition. After proclaiming himself the lord of the Kai Kingdom, he immediately attacked Shinano with a thunderous force. He worked hard to expand his territory and fought everywhere. On his military flag is Sun Tzu's famous saying: "As fast as the wind, as slow as the forest, as aggressive as fire, and as motionless as the mountain." The flag points to an invincible battle. After pacifying Shinano, Shingen dreamed of marching westward and directly entering Kyoto, but his old enemy Uesugi Kenshin always restrained him, so the Tiger of Kai had to fight against the Dragon of Echigo on Kawanaka Island. Takeda Shingen, who won the battle of Kawanakajima, walked step by step towards the road of commanding the world. The entire territory of Koshu and Shinano has been included in the territory, and the dominating Takeda Shingen is unfortunately suffering from illness. But decades of dreams supported Shingen, and he still visited the tombs of his relatives, said goodbye to his beloved wives and concubines, and embarked on the road to the west. This is the last ditch effort of a generation of famous generals. Unfortunately, when the final victory was about to be within reach, Shingen was knocked down by the disease for no reason, and he could only look at Kyoto, which was just around the corner, with regret. Based on a large number of historical research and legends, Nitta Jiro combined his own imagination to restore and reshape Takeda Shingen's life, and narrated four major events in Shingen's life: "The exile of his biological father Nobutora, the Battle of Kawanakajima, the pacification of the eldest son Yoshinobu's rebellion, and the Battle of Mikatahara" in four volumes: "Wind", "Forest", "Fire", and "Mountain". "Takeda Shingen: Fenglin Volcano" is so majestic and exquisitely structured that it's hard to put it down as soon as you start reading it.
