History

Miyagami Period and Nogizaka Shogunate

In 1329, Nogizaka clan under the daimyo Nogizaka Sadanobu took over the Shogun position of Southern Court after overthrowing the previous Taira Shogun and gaining the trust of Southern Imperial court in Miyagami. With Nogizaka Sadanobu as the first Nogizaka Shogun, Nanami Imperial government losing its authority toward the Shogunate Government. By 1332, Nogizaka Shogunate built its capital in Fushimi Castle in Miyagami, close toward the imperial palace.

Nogizaka Shogunate authority last until the late 16th century until the rule of Nogizaka Masaharu in 1520 when the rebel of Kanemoto Chikaru attacked Miyagami and besieged the Fushimi Castle, although Nogizaka clan able to suppress rebels, their shougunate influence decreased all over the Nanami leading southern court without the major authority.

Sengoku Ransei

With Nogizaka Shogunate losing its authority toward their vassal clans, many clans all over Nanami engaged into other in order to expand their territory causing the

Inaba Period

Inaba Period is period when Southern court ruled by Kawaei Clan from their shogunate capital in Inaba Castle which later renamed into Katajima Castle in 1803 after the Katajima Plains.

Following the submission of Rifu Castle from Mizoguchi Clan by Kawaei Yoshiyuki after Siege of Rifu in 1619, Kawaei clan completely replaced Nogizaka clan as the effective ruler for entire Nagashima Island which is majority of Southern Court. However, there are disagreement on the upper leader of Kawaei clan as Yoshiyuki plan to expand the influence of Kawaei rule to the Seomil Peninsula and further into mainland Aisai while Kawaei Yoshifumi, the younger brother of Yoshiyuki prefer to settle the rule and consolidate with the imperial court on Miyagami as the relationship between Kawaei and Imperial court has deteriorated since the death of Kawei Rena in 1609. Yoshiyuki aiming to rule over Ming Dynasty with using Kaesong as the stepping stone toward the larger Ming. Despite the pressure of his brother and subjects clans, Yoshiyuki start the invasion toward Kaesong by sending 80,000 soldiers under various clans into the mainland on April 1620 as first wave, followed by another 25,000 soldiers during the second wave on March 1621. First and Second wave successfully take over the Hanseong on July 1621 and proceed north to the Northern Kaesong into the main territory of Ming. The Invasion of Southern Ming land ends up largely on Stalemate and lack of progress until 1628 due to the Ming soldiers outnumbered Kawaei soldiers and low morale to the internal struggle back home at Katajima. On 1628 Yoshiyuki changed focus to invade Chahar Region of the neighboring Oirat Khanate to the west and managed to secure truce with the Jurchen Tribes to the south. Back on Katajima, there are high unrest from numerous of Kawaei subjects due the invasion of mainland together with the food shortage caused the insurgency on 1631 to oust Yoshiyuki from the power. Yoshifumi who disagree with the invasion plan took this opportunity and take over the leader of Kawaei clan from Yoshiyuki in 1632 effectively ended Yoshiyuki leadership and exile him to Sankaido.

Under Yoshiyuki, Kawaei secured truce with Ming and Kaesong together with the imperial alliance with Oirat Khanate to ensure no future conflict between nations and can focus with rebuilding the nation after prolonged civil war and crisis. Yoshifumi also appointed by the Imperial court to be the first Kawaei Shogun in 1632.

The Inaba Period of Southern Court dominated with the progressive reform of the realm, settlement of Sankaido region and consolidation with its neighbors. Unlike the Northern court, Kawaei keep Southern court relatively open to the foreigners especially from mainland Aisai without heavy restriction. With the openness of Kawaei, it creates the modern culture of southern Nakami to be relatively distinct with northern counterpart and have more influence mostly from Liyue and Seomil with minor influence from Roska as well. Kawaei also managed to influence the formation of Sakha Republic to the south of Sankaido who adapt the Katakana as their writing system on 19th century. Kawaei Shogunate relatively have stable relationship with its neighborhood throughout 18-19th century with minor friction and dispute compared to the Miyawaki Shogunate to the north.

First Empire of Nanami

On 1803, Kawaei Yoshimura together with Emperor Tenmyo enacted the Imperial Restoration to enable Imperial court as the Head of State and Kawaei Shogunate as head of government effectively make both to work as the government of Empire of Nanami, marking the creation of the First Empire of Nanami or the empire of Seven Seas which is named after the 7 seas surrounding the Nagashima Islands according to the legend of Nakami. On same occasion the government also enacted first constitution of Nanami on 1803.

This period mark the start of industrialization of southern court and the initial mark of the democratization of state cumulating on the 1903 full democratization. During this period it also noted that Nanami also start to have diplomatic relationship with western nations which later greatly influence the end of Bakufu on Miyawaki Shogunate in 1863.
