{{Main|Siege of Negoro-ji|Siege of Ōta Castle}}
Also in 1585, Hideyoshi launched the [[siege of Negoro-ji]] and subjugated [[Kii Province]].<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=HQTbDphPKmoC&pg=PA85 Berry 1982, pp. 85–86]</ref> The [[Negoro-gumi]], the warrior monks of [[Negoro-ji]], were allied with the [[Ikkō-ikki]] and with [[Tokugawa Ieyasu]], whom they supported in the [[Battle of Komaki and Nagakute]] the previous year. After attacking a number of other outposts in the area, Hideyoshi's forces attacked Negoro-ji from two sides. Many of the Negoro-gumi had already fled to [[Ōta Castle]] by this time, which Hideyoshi later [[Siege of Ōta Castle|besieged]]. The complex was set aflame, beginning with the residences of the priests, and Hideyoshi's samurai cut down monks as they escaped the blazing buildings.
