[Ieyasu Tokugawa] Introducing the long way to the cry of the Lesser Cuckoo!

"If it doesn't ring, kill it." Oda Nobunaga ( Oda Nobunaga ) Mr. Miss.

"If it doesn't ring, let's ring it" Toyotomi Hideyoshi ( Toyotomi Hideyoshi ) Mr. Miss.

"If it doesn't ring, wait until it rings" Ieyasu Tokugawa ( Tokugawa Ieyasu ) Mr. Miss.

It's a song that really expresses that person's life in a concise and accurate way.

This time, about Mr. Ieyasu Tokugawa, the time when the lesser cuckoo did not ring I would like to focus on the introduction.

The moment the lesser cuckoo rang, "Battle of Sekigahara" What kind of life did Ieyasu have had before this happened?

I've been hostage life since I was a kid.

1542, Mikawa Province ( Mikawa no Kuni ) Born in (Aichi Prefecture). The name is Takechiyo I'm Kun.

I was still calling myself Matsudaira instead of Tokugawa, so "Matsudaira Takechiyo" I'm Kun.

The name will change little by little. Ultimately, it's "Ieyasu Tokugawa." There is no prototype.

Around 3 years old , Takechiyo's father was under the umbrella of Mr. Imagawa, but parted from her mother because her mother's parents' home had allied with Mr. Oda, who is hostile to Mr. Imagawa. It will become.

Around 6 years old , To solidify the alliance with Mr. Imagawa, young Takechiyo-kun is Sunpu Sumpu It is sent to (Shizuoka Prefecture) as a hostage.

But here's the case!

On the way to Shunfu, Mr. Oda's Owari Kuni ( Conclusion ) I was taken to (north of Aichi prefecture).

Oda Nobunaga's father, Oda Nobuhide ( Odanobu Hide ) Encourages Takechiyo's father to surrender.

But Dad "If the child is killed, he will revenge as everyone does" I didn't obey.

Nobuhide Oda was impressed and kept Takechiyo alive.

It is said that he would have met Nobunaga Oda, who is seven years older than him, around this time.

If Takechiyo had been killed here, of course, the Edo Shogunate, which lasted 264 years, would not have been born. The history of Japan would have changed very much.

Around 8 years old , Takechiyo's father defeated Nobuhide Oda in the Allied Forces with Mr. Imagawa and rescued Takechiyo.

However, Chiyo Takechi is because of the hostage to Sunpu, which was originally promised . I will go as it is.

But 10 days later , Takechiyo's father is killed by his vassals .. There is also Oda Nobuhide's spy theory.

In any case, Takechiyo-kun will be in a life-saving form again.

If Takechiyo had died here as well, the Edo Shogunate would not have been born.

To the turmoil of the Warring States with Nobunaga Oda!

14 years old , From Chiyo Takechi " Matsudaira Yasumoto ( Matsudaira Motobu ) And changed his name. Yoshimoto Imagawa ( I am now Yoshimoto ) I got one letter from Mr.

16 years old And his grandfather Matsudaira Kiyoyasu ( Kiyoyasu ) I got one letter from Mr. "Matsudaira Motoyasu ( Motoyasu ) Further changed to. You're getting closer to that name.

I got married in the same year, and two years later my eldest son was born.

Around 20 , Oda Nobunaga and Imagawa Yoshimoto fought " Okehazama ( Okehazama ) Battle " I participated in the war in Imakawa, but I lost and tried to seppuku It is.

However, the priest of the temple who was trying to seppuku "creates a peaceful world" I was told and stayed.

If I had died here, the Edo Shogunate would not have come.

You may have dreamed of a peaceful Edo Shogunate from the words of the chief priest.

After this battle, I will consider becoming independent from Mr. Imagawa and considering an alliance with Mr. Nobunaga Oda. This is an interesting part of the Warring States period, isn't it? "Yesterday's enemy is today's friend" That's it.

I've thrown away the name I got from Yoshimoto Imagawa, "Ieyasu Matsudaira" I will change it. Another 50% that name.

Engagement between Ieyasu's eldest son and Nobunaga's daughter is also decided. The alliance with Nobunaga became solid.

Around 25 , He expanded his territory and changed his surname to "Tokugawa".

Finally "Ieyasu Tokugawa" Is the birth of.

With Nobunaga, Shingen Takeda ( Takeda Shingen ) Sanya, the father of the three sisters, Nagamasa Asai ( Azai Nagamasa ) I will defeat the warlords such as Mr.

Shingen-san once lost to Borokoso ...

Ieyasu-san was so scared that he leaked or didn't leak it.

I left a self-portrait at that time because of my pathetic commandments. I don't know if it's amazing or not.

And when I thought, "Is the world's man, Nobunaga Oda about to be born?", the incident finally happened.

Ieyasu-san was around 40 years old.

With the appearance of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the lesser cuckoo that doesn't squeal!

Nobunaga Oda dies at Honnoji Temple in Kyoto.

Vassal Akechi Mitsuhide ( Akechimitsu Hide ) It was a betrayal of Mr.

If Ieyasu was invited by Nobunaga and was playing in Osaka, he was in a hurry to hear the sad news.

There are only 34 vassals around me, because at this time, if I was attacked, there would be no lumps.

I'm thinking of following Nobunaga-san .. As expected, it is stopped by the vassals.

Ieyasu had a pretty negative temperament. "Wait until it crows" It's kind of nice, isn't it?

Ninja in the companion, Hattori Hanzo ( Hattori Hanzo ) " God-kun Igakoshi ( " Shin-kun Igago ) Eh " Ieyasu was able to return to his own country safely.

Actually, this Hanzo is not a ninja but an unmistakable military commander.

There are many mastermind theories in "Honnoji Incident", including Ieyasu's name.

About three years before the Honnoji Incident, Ieyasu's wife and eldest son were killed by Nobunaga Was outbreak. This is quite a motivation, isn't it?

Rebellious Akechi Mitsuhide Immediately after that, Toyotomi Hideyoshi Will be defeated by Mr.

Mitsuhide's "Three days" That's it.

Ieyasu is one step behind Hideyoshi while he is "crossing Iga".

As it is, the world belongs to Hideyoshi. I think it was quite disappointing to be overtaken by Hideyoshi, who was also a vassal of Nobunaga.

Mr. Ieyasu became a vassal of Mr. Hideyoshi as it was, and Mr. Hideyoshi finally achieved the unification of the world.

However, Toyotomi's world did not last long.

Hideyoshi died 16 years after Nobunaga died due to the Honnoji Incident.

Finally, the long-awaited Hototogisu of Ieyasu Tokugawa will scream! !!

Summary

If Oda Nobunaga had been alive, Ieyasu would not have aimed at the world.

Nobunaga Oda was a person who had such charisma.

Ieyasu will not give up even if the world leans toward Hideyoshi.

We pay attention to our health and try to live long.

And finally seize the opportunity!

Even after Hideyoshi died, the world was still leaning toward the Toyotomi family.

How did you open the narrow entrance? ⁉︎

After all life is not to miss a few chances.
