Many of the Sengoku daimyo are " shadow warriors " on the battlefield so as not to lose their lives. I often hear that Ieyasu Tokugawa, who won the Battle of Sekigahara and opened the Edo Shogunate, was no exception.
In the legend of Ieyasu Tokugawa's shadow warrior, Ieyasu died in the Battle of Okehazama, and another person had already reigned as Ieyasu. The famous theory is that he was defeated and died at Nanshuji Temple in Sakai when he was struck by a spear while he was on the run.
This legend of Ieyasu Tokugawa's shadow warrior was announced in the Meiji era.
The theory of replacement after the Battle of Okehazama
In April 1891, Motoichiro Muraoka, a local official from Minyusha, run by Tokutomi Soho, said [ Historical suspicion, Ieyasu Tokugawa . ] Was published and the Ieyasu Kagemusha theory was advocated.
The reason why he advocated the shadow warrior theory of Ieyasu Tokugawa was Hayashi Razan, a Confucian scholar of the Cheng-Zhu school in the early Edo period. ] Was the description on August 19, 1612.
What is that description ...
Ieyasu was chatting and I was kidnapped and sold off when I was a kid ]
It was written that he said.
1560 Battle of Okehazama It was Hirotada Matsudaira who was active at the forefront of the Imagawa army. Matsudaira Jiro Saburo Motonobu (Ieyasu) At this time, it seems that he was the head of the genuine Matsudaira family.
However, Yoshimoto Imagawa In the turmoil of the killed in action, an incident occurred in which Motonobu, who had become independent, died in an assassination or an accident. At that time, Nobuyasu, a child of Motonobu (Ieyasu), was a 3-year-old infant, Nobunaga Oda . Jiro Saburo Saburo Motonobu under the control of the vassals who thought it would be difficult to meet Mr. Imagawa until Nobuyasu grew up. On behalf of Matsudaira's reign I was allowed to.
1567 Ieyasu Tokugawa After changing the name, Nobuyasu grew up and became the master of Okazaki Castle 1579 . Katsuyori Takeda by Tokuhime, the daughter of Nobunaga in Seishitsu When Nobunaga, who was furious when Nobuyasu was exposed, asked Ieyasu to dispose of Nobuyasu and his mother, Lady Tsukiyama, Ieyasu decided to take the conditions with a bitter decision, and on August 29, he moved to Lady Tsukiyama on September 15. An incident occurred in which Nobuyasu was executed.
Since there was no blood connection between Ieyasu and Nobuyasu, who were replacement balls, this event was a ferry to Jiro Saburo Serada, and after this incident, he completely took control of the Matsudaira family. Ieyasu's vassals had to obey because he was executed at the order of Nobunaga at that time.
1585 It is said that the truth of Kazumasa Ishikawa, a senior vassal of Nobuyasu, is also greatly related to the Nobuyasu case, and Kazumasa led Okazaki Shu as a guardian of Nobuyasu and served as an assistant. Therefore, it was the case that Nobuyasu was more shocked than anyone else, and he believed that Nobuyasu would succeed the Tokugawa family's reign if he grew up. It is believed that he must have felt terrible resentment.
Therefore, it is said that Hideyoshi was sought as a new lord.
With this alone, Jiro Saburo Saburo Motonobu Does not lead to the idea of being a shadow warrior.
One thing I'm worried about is that I handed over the shogunate to Hidetada, took control of the real power in Sunpu, and did the cloister rule, and I was a little worried about the action of creating Toshogu to bury himself in Kunozan. increase.
As historically true, Ieyasu Tokugawa Is the 9th generation of the Matsudaira family, the owner of Okazaki Castle If so, I am very concerned about how to deal with the land called Okazaki. Even if the land of Shunfu is an important political and economic place, Okazaki is the birthplace of himself and the roots of the Matsudaira family, so it is too unfriendly for that.
After opening the shogunate, you can tell if you want to make it under direct control, but Okazaki Castle is left to Yasushige Honda. This makes it difficult to understand that Okazaki was the root of the Matsudaira family.
Jiro Saburo Motonobu, who was a shadow warrior, was born in Sunpu, and if the replacement is true, all the actions after the unification of the world will be the same.
The theory of death in Sekigahara and the theory of death in the summer of Osaka
Battle of Sekigahara There is a theory that he was assassinated and killed, but in that case, it would be difficult to seal the facts and create a shadow warrior because the enemy warlords and vassals would have been around. Therefore, I think the possibility of the Sekigahara theory is very low.
On the other hand, according to the death theory in the summer camp of Osaka, Yukimura Sanada Was attacked by Chausuyama and routed in a fierce battle. He was injured by a spear on the way, and Sakai's Nanshuji There is a theory that he had run out by the time he arrived at.
In fact, 1557 in Sakai City, Osaka An ancient temple of the founded Rinzai sect Daitokuji school [ Nanshuji ] It seems that such a description remains in the history of the temple.
The Shogunate army has the meaning of hiding Ieyasu's death,
I buried it under the floor of this Nanshuji Kaisando
It is said that it is said.
The record supporting this is 1623 . Hidetada 2nd generation on July 10 However, Iemitsu, the third generation on August 18 Visited The record of the temple remains, and the truth of this theory is further deepened.
The above is the legend of Ieyasu Tokugawa's shadow warrior.
Of course, these theories have not been proven, so everything remains a mystery.
Personally, am I the only one who feels that Nanshuji's theory is a little credible?
