 | | At the same time, the Kamakura Shogunate established a military station called Rokuhara Tandai {rok-hah-rah tan-dye} in Kyoto in a move to check the Imperial Court, and Yasutoki Hojo assumed the chief commander's position. |
 | | In Kyoto, however, he suddenly defected to the Imperial Court betraying the Hojos, and attacked Rokuhara under the Imperial order. |
 | | In the meantime, Yoshisada Nitta {yoh-she-sah-dah nit-tah} (1302-1338), another warlord in present Tochigi Prefecture, who also had a strong antipathy against the Hojos, formed loyalist forces and assaulted Kamakura at the command of Emperor Godaigo. |
