explanation: After the battle of Sekigahara, the unique dangerous lord for Tokugawa Ieyasu was Toyotomi Hideyori, a son of Hideyoshi. Under the pretext that he would wish the end of Tokugawa, Ieyasu sent 200,000 men in 1614, while Hideyori shut himself in Osaka castle with a great number of ronin. Understood the castle impregnable, Ieyasu proposed an armistice in exchange of reclaiming the outer moat. But the inner moat being also reclaimed, the castle fell easily in June 1615 and Hideyori killed himself.
