History of Asia

The role of three years after the status of Genji was established

Mr. Abe who rebelled in the role of the previous nine years Minamoto no Yoriyoshi However, since ancient times, the soldiers of the Tohoku region, who excel in equestrian and archery, have been strong, and it was extremely difficult to control them even with the power of the samurai warrior Genji.

Therefore, Kiyohara , who had power in the Dewa region of the same Tohoku region. Executed the subjugation of Mr. Abe with the help of. Kiyohara will lead and cooperate with about twice as many soldiers as Genji, and will succeed in subduing Abe.

This role of the last nine years With the victory of Minamoto no Yoriyoshi Is Iyo Mamoru To my son's Yoshiya Also Mamoru Dewa When it comes to Kiyohara no Takenori However, when he became a guardian general, he continued to rule Ou.

About 20 years have passed since the role of the previous nine years, and one day when Genji and Kiyohara also changed generations, internal conflict in Kiyohara's wife who cooperated with Genji. Will occur.

This internal conflict has grown, and [ Gosannen War ] Will be known to posterity.

The beginning and progress of the role of Gosannen War

The head of Mr. Kiyohara at this time was Takesada Kiyohara . was.

To him, Sanehira of his ex-wife's child Kiyohira of his stepchild when the widow of Fujiwara no Tsunekiyo, who belonged to Mr. Abe, was his second wife. (Kiyohira ) Was adopted.

However, Kiyohara Iehira between his second wife and Takesada. Is born.

At this time, in Mr. Kiyohara's house, [ Kiyohara's pedigree ] And [ Kiyohira, who draws the blood of Mr. Abe ] [ Iehira with both bloods ] Complex brotherhood has been completed.

Masahiro Kiyohara goes to the head

Takesada When he died, he was in a hurry, but his eldest son Masahiro Kiyohara Will be the head of Mr. Kiyohara.

It is said that this series of Izakoza is the key to the role of Gosannen War.

It would have been better if Masahiro Kiyohara became the head of the family, but the trouble after this was [ Gosannen War] . It will be a big kick.

Mr. Kiyohara's head, Masahiro, was not blessed with children, and Mr. Kanmu I decided to get an adopted child from my bloodline.

This child is [Kiyohara no Narihira].

Kiyohara or Iehira There was no problem if either of them was the successor, but at that time noble blood was preferred . There is a strong tendency, and Masahiro inevitably marries Narihira, who follows the flow of Mr. Kanmu, to a woman who follows the flow of Genji. ] I tried to make.

Gosannen War broke out

1083 At the marriage table of Narihira, there is a problem that the role of Gosannen War will be in full swing.

Even around this time, it was customary for all relatives to gather at the marriage table, Masahiro Kiyohara . Hidetake Yoshihiko , my uncle A person named (Kimiko's Hidetake) also came to celebrate. This Hidetake was a senior vassal who served Kiyohara's third generation, and was a powerful person with many territories and subordinate soldiers.

Hidetake Yoshihiko came to greet the bride's father, Masahiro Kiyohara, but Masahiro, who was absorbed in Go, ignores Hidetake. Since it was an event in a place where all the relatives were gathering, [ Masahiro treats Hidetake coldly ] Will be seen.

Naturally, Hidetake was furious at this treatment and returned to the country.

It is true that reverse was cut off by this attitude of Hidetake. So, he raised a soldier to subdue Hidetake because he worked rudely. When Hidetake learned of Masahiro's recruitment, he was behind in the battle for successor, Iehira and Kiyohara . I will approach you to subdue it.

Trouble with Narihira's marriage seat Gosannen War It was the beginning of the event.

The appointment of Minamoto no Yoshiie and the death of Masahiro Kiyohara

Kiyohara no Iehira and Kiyohara With the cooperation of Hidetake Yoshihiko, he approached the home of Masahiro as he saw it. Moreover, at this timing, Minamoto no Yoshiie Will be assigned to Tohoku as a land guard.

Masahiro will entertain at Tagajo in order to entertain Minamoto no Yoshiie.

When Genji on the Kokufu side attaches to Kiyohara no Iehira, Iehira and Kiyohara are afraid of becoming rebels and surrender. Here, if nothing happened, everything should have been settled, but Masahiro died suddenly due to illness during the march toward Dewa.

Kiyohara Kiyohira and Iehira Conflict

Masahiro Kiyohara After his death, Minamoto no Yoshiie Will divide the Oku Rokugun, which is the territory of Maho, into three counties, but Iehira was dissatisfied with this and attacked Kiyohara's mansion in 1086.

Kiyohira managed to escape and asked Yoshiya for help.

Minamoto no Yoshiie leads a soldier and attacks Iehira, but loses ...

With this momentum, Iehira decided to hold down the impregnable Kanazawa fence in an attempt to defeat Kiyohara and Minamoto no Yoshiie's upper army with Kiyohara Takehiro on his side.

On the other hand, in Minamoto no Yoshiie, Yoshiie's younger brother, Yoshimitsu, resigned from his official post and rushed to rescue his brother, Yoshiie.

Japan's first military siege

Yoshiie and Kiyohira, who received the reinforcements of Minamoto no Yoshimitsu, began to attack the Kanazawa fence.

Here, at the suggestion of Hidetake Yoshihiko, we decided to attack the Kanazawa fence with a military siege ...

Kiyohara Kiyohira &Minamoto no Yoshiie / Yoshimitsu Army also took a long time to surround the Kanazawa fence.

During the siege, the girls and children offered to surrender, but Yoshiya, who prioritized the capture, killed all those who surrendered. The situation became known inside the fence, no one surrendered, and the food in the fence was exhausted.

As a result, Iehira and Takehira set fire and escaped, but soon they were beaten up.

Postwar processing of Gosannen War

Kiyohira and Yoshiie's army won Gosannen War However, the post-war processing after that did not go well.

That is to say, in the role of the previous nine years, [ the local daimyo is suspected of rebellion, so a battle in which an army was dispatched from the center ], But the role of Gosannen War was [ Minamoto no Yoshiie just intervened in the local house turmoil 】That's how it was.

Therefore, instead of receiving a formal award from the imperial court, Yoshiya, who is the guardian of the land, did not send taxes to the center and used it for the war expenses, so he was blamed.

As a result, Yoshiya was billed by the imperial court for about 10 years, and was unable to advance.

Established a position as a samurai builder

He also had to pay a reward to his subordinates, and Yoshiya threw his private fortune to give him a reward. From around this time, samurai are working with a prize . Was the basis, so I think it was better than not being able to pay the prize and aiming for life.

However, this action gave a good impression to the samurai, and the master-slave relationship between Genji and the Togoku Bushidan was strengthened, centered on Minamoto no Yoshiie, and Genji solidified his position as a samurai builder.

In addition, more and more Togoku Bushidan donated land to Yoshiya and asked for protection.

Around this time, many local samurai maintained their management as Daimyo Tato, while growing as a development lord and expanding their territory or seeking protection, and these local samurai were used as family members. I made a strong bond while organizing.

Birth of Mr. Fujiwara Oshu

Also, it was Kiyohara Kiyohira that gained in this battle. So, he inherited all of Kiyohara's territory, became the ruler of Ou based in Hiraizumi, and his father's family name Fujiwara . Will come to call himself.

When he made a fortune with the products of gold and horses, he approached the regents and introduced the Kyoto culture, and at the same time, he developed his own culture by trading with the north such as Song.

This was the beginning of Mr. Fujiwara no Motohira, who was in his third generation for 100 years, from his child's Kihei to his grandson Hidehira's generation.

In other words, do you know that Mr. Fujiwara Oshu was a house that was built with the help of Genji?

100 years Later Minamoto no Yoshitsune Is it because of that background that Yoritomo chased him and turned to Oshu? However, that Mr. Fujiwara Oshu Also, the descendant of the same Genji, Minamoto no Yoritomo What an ironic story, because it will be destroyed by ...

In addition ...

Yoritomo and Yoshitsune came out of the family of Minamoto no Yoshiie, and Takauji Ashikaga came out after further separation.

Also, from the descendants of his younger brother Minamoto no Yoshimitsu, the lord of Kai, Shingen Takeda, has been produced.
