Nobunaga Oda Pave the way for trade-in, Toyotomi Hideyoshi Was fulfilled as a heavenly man, Ieyasu Tokugawa As you all know, the world of Taihei Tenka was built.
Nobunaga Oda As for the descendants of Nobunaga, the descendants of Nobunaga's second son, Nobunaga, remained in the Edo period as Hatamoto and the feudal lord, and the descendants of Ieyasu Tokugawa were divided into all branches and prospered greatly and reached the Meiji Restoration.
However, only Toyotomi Hideyoshi's pedigree has been destroyed by Ieyasu Tokugawa in the Siege of Osaka.
The reason why the Toyotomi administration collapsed
Nobunaga Oda, Ieyasu Tokugawa Unlike, Hideyoshi Toyotomi, who was originally a farmer and became a world-renowned man in his lifetime.
It is the end of the Toyotomi family, which is in stark contrast to the glamorous success story, but I would like to examine why the Toyotomi administration collapsed in a short period of time.
The death of Toyotomi Hidenaga
The reason for the collapse of the Toyotomi administration is his younger brother, Toyotomi Hidenaga . It is also said to be caused by his death.
It was the presence of his unmistakable younger brother, Hidenaga, who created the story of Hideyoshi, a peasant who unified the world and made a big success in Kampaku. For Hideyoshi, Hidenaga was the only reliable existence, and without him, Hideyoshi would not have been unified.
Hidenaga made his debut at the age of 25, Battle of Nagamasa Asai, Battle of Mouri, Battle of Yamazaki, Battle of Shizugatake, Battle of Komaki and Nagakute, and General of Shikoku and Kyushu And there was always Hidenaga's presence and success.
Thanks to that achievement, Yamato / Kii / Izumi / Kawachi 1.1 million stone daimyo It became.
Furthermore, Junior Second Rank Dainagon Yamato Dainobu Is called.
Hidenaga under the Toyotomi administration brilliantly supported his brother Hideyoshi in military and domestic affairs, and his desire was trusted by each daimyo and the military commanders of Toyotomi. Relying on Hidenaga will solve it It was even said that.
If Hidenaga lived to be 62 years old, the same as Hideyoshi, it is probable that he would have built a posthumous government base without Hidetsugu's seppuku incident.
Even if Hidenaga died in 1601, Ieyasu still survived for 15 years, and there may be something to do after that, but Toyotomi Hidetsugu is still alive as Kampaku, so it is possible to seize the government in a historical manner. I think I couldn't do it.
Mishandled Kuroda Kanbei
Kuroda Kanbei , another key player in Hideyoshi's unification of the world Don't forget the existence of.
As I mentioned earlier in the Sengoku Warrior Ranking article, I think that Hideyoshi was so afraid of his abilities that he moved away from the center of the administration, which was the cause of the collapse.
In fact, if he had given 1 million stones to Kyubei, would he have caused Toyotomi's world to be shaken as Hideyoshi was worried about?
Kyubei was the first to serve Masamoto Kodera Even if he was betrayed by him and was in danger of his life, when Mr. Kodera died, his eldest son, Kodera Ujimoto As a vassal of the Kuroda clan.
When he became Hideyoshi's vassal, 1578 Araki Murashige I was caught in the dungeon of Arioka Castle and imprisoned. At this time, Nobunaga branded him as a betrayal . , Order to kill his eldest son, Nagamasa Was given, but Takenaka Hanbei Kuroda Kanbei was never a betrayal man, and his eldest son was hiding and saved his life with his determination to execute.
I understand that I'm afraid of the genius of Kyubei, but Hideyoshi has a bigger enemy called Ieyasu Tokugawa. Battle of Komaki and Nagakute Since then, I have only tried to take in Ieyasu, but have not diminished its power.
I think that the collapse of the Toyotomi administration could have been avoided if Ieyasu, who should be the most careful, was trying to contain it with the ability of the government guard. However, in the historical fact, it was the opposite, and it was Kyubei who moved away from the Toyotomi family by bringing his eldest son, Nagamasa, closer to Ieyasu, leaving his regular room to divorce, and making Ieyasu's adopted daughter a regular room. I was greeted.
As a result, in Sekigahara, as a member of the East Army, he succeeded in not letting Mr. Mouri, the largest of the West Army, participate in the battle, and became the greatest contributor to the victory of the East Army, making the Kuroda family a daimyo of 520,000 stones in Chikuzen. I pushed it up.
Toyotomi Hidetsugu Seppuku Incident
Hideyoshi, a peasant, had a fatal shortage of samurai relatives.
And he wasn't blessed with his own children.
The only thing I could count on was Hidenaga and his Nagamasa Asano from the Asano family, who came from Seishitsu and Nene. Was there. However, when Hideyori was born, the Toyotomi family and the Asano family began to move away from each other due to the conflict between the Seishitsu and the concubine, and the Asano family came to Tokugawa in the Battle of Sekigahara.
The tea in the concubine is Nagamasa Asai The Azai family had already been destroyed, so I couldn't expect a consort kin from the concubine.
When that happens, the remaining adult male is Toyotomi Hidetsugu . However, Hidetsugu deprived him of Kampaku's position on suspicion of rebellion, and after being expelled to Mt. Koya, he became seppuku. After that, he executed all of Hidetsugu's children and relatives and eradicated Hidetsugu's family.
Due to this Hidetsugu seppuku case, the successor is still 2 years old Hideyori It became only.
Toyotomi Hidetsugu Seppuku Case It is said that this is because the suspicion of rebellion was raised by Hidetsugu Toyotomi, who is Kampaku in the official history. However, in recent studies, most scholars have few adopted this rebellion. Nowadays, it is the established theory that Hidetsugu made up the crime of rebellion to justify the reason for seppuku . It has become.
Furthermore, it is believed that the murderous Kampaku, which is also known as Hidetsugu, is a fabrication of posterity. This is also a Hidetsugu image manipulation campaign to justify Hidetsugu's seppuku. It is said that.
There is currently no convincing evidence of the history of Hidetsugu's seppuku.
However, I think there is no doubt that the birth of Toyotomi Hideyori, a firstborn man, is involved.
Tsurumatsu who died at the age of 3 as the background of Hidetsugu's inauguration of Kampaku Shortly after his death, he gave up his Kampaku position and appointed him his successor. There is no doubt that Hideyoshi had a feeling of despair that he probably wouldn't have a child anymore.
However, two years after Hidetsugu took office as Kampaku, Yodo-dono will set up a boy again.
It is a long-awaited successor for Hideyoshi. When this happens, it's only natural that he wants to give up his position as a world-renowned child. In that case, Hidetsugu, who was already the successor, gets in the way. Even if Hideyoshi didn't feel like it, it is quite possible that Hidetsugu would fall into suspicion that he would be excluded.
After that, the Toyotomi administration eradicated the clan together with Hideyoshi, and as a result, the number of relatives of the Toyotomi family, which was already small, was further reduced, and there was no Shinpan to support Hideyori. Therefore, Hideyoshi was the five elders ( Ieyasu Tokugawa, Terumoto Mori, Kagekatsu Uesugi, Hideie Ukita, Toshiie Maeda just before his death. ) And Go-Bugyō ( Mitsunari Ishida, Gen'i Maeda, Nagamasa Asano, Nagamori Mashita, Masaie Natsuka ) Collegiality I had no choice but to give a strict order to assist Hideyori.
It turns out that the Toyotomi family didn't really have the human resources so much that they had to entrust the aftermath to the foreigner and their nemesis, Ieyasu Tokugawa.
The reason for Hidetsugu's seppuku remains a mystery, but in any case, isn't the feud between Hideyoshi and Hidetsugu due to the birth of Hideyori the cause of this Hidetsugu seppuku case?
