King Tamagusuku and King Nishii<\/o:p><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/o:p><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

During King Tamagusuku`s reign, things turned for the worse in the Ryukyu Kingdom. <\/span>History recalls that he was a tyrant, often refusing to even meet with the advisors on his court in addition to being abusive to those in his government. <\/span>
<\/p>\n

<\/span>For these reasons, he lost the support of the powerful Anji families in the north and south. <\/span>This resulted in the breaking up the vast Chuzan (<\/span>Middle<\/span><\/st1:placename> <\/span>Mountain<\/span><\/st1:placetype><\/st1:place>) kingdom into the Hokuzan (<\/span>Northern<\/span><\/st1:placename> <\/span>Mountain<\/span><\/st1:placetype><\/st1:place>) Chuzan, as well as Nanzan (Southern Mountain) kingdoms respectively. <\/span> <\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

Beginning of the Three Mountains Kingdoms<\/o:p><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Hokuzan, led by Wakoso, Anji of Nakijin consisted of Nakijin, Kin, Nago Haneji, Kunjan(present Kunigami), Ie Island, and <\/span>Iyeha<\/span><\/st1:placename> <\/span>Island<\/span><\/st1:placetype><\/st1:place>. <\/span>The southern mountain kingdom, Nanzan, bowed to the new king, Mizukara, Anji of Ozato. <\/span>His control spread over Kochinda, Ozato, Gushichan, Kyan, Tomishiro, Sashiki, Tamagusuku, Chinen, Kanegusuku and Mabuni. <\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>Chuzan`s King Tamagusuku retained the loyalty of Naha, Tomari, Goeku<\/span>　<\/span>(present Okinawa City), Yuntanzan<\/span>　<\/span>(Yomitan), Katsuren, Gushikawa (both of Uruma City), Shurimihira, Urasoe, and Chatan.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

In 1366, at age 41 and his kingdom reduced in size by 2\/3, King Tamagusuku passed on. <\/span>The 5th<\/sup> and last king of the Eiso line was a 10 year old sickly boy. <\/span>The arrangement became a defacto arrangement of an empress and her puppet; with the puppet being King Nishii and the empress his mother. <\/span>King Nishii`s uninspired reign came to an end in (Year), when at the relative young age of 22 he died of a chronic illness. <\/span>The people, being out of King Eiso heirs, went back to the people, searching for a virtual savior, from among there own ranks.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>Just as with King Eiso and Shunten before him, once again the current Anji of Urasoe was called on to fill the gap. <\/span>Hail king Satto.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
