Was it originally "Aizu"?
10th generation Sujin Emperor Japan's oldest history book " Kojiki " Aizu Was written.
"The first prince of the 8th emperor, Prince Ohiko " And Takenunakavavetsu Parents and children have joined here.
It seems to be derived from that.
The legend.
Later, it is also an ancient Chinese idea "Land and people belong to the king's rule" The decree system of the idea was introduced, and Dewa province , Mutsu Province Is born.
As one of them, it was installed in the form of Aizu-gun, Mutsu Province.
Mr. Fujiwara Oshu in the Heian period
Mid 11th century , Mr. Abe in Mutsu , Kiyohara in Dewa Province Was emerging.
The arrow of Shirahane was pointed to settle the mayhem, which created the Kamakura Shogunate Minamoto no Yoritomo . Sanya, Minamoto no Yoshitsune who defeated the Heike Minamoto no Yoriyoshi who is also an ancestor of It was Mr.

However, Mr. Fujiwara Oshu, who had been extremely prosperous for 100 years, was finally destroyed in the 4th generation by hiding Mr. Yoshitsune who had escaped after being chased by Mr. Minamoto no Yoritomo. is.
Aizu during the Warring States period
Date Masamune also ruled Aizu!
The power of the Muromachi Shogunate was completely lost, and the warring lords were constantly fighting to expand their territory all over the country. It's the so-called Warring States period.
In the Aizu region, Sengoku daimyo Ashina Home Was wielding power.
However, the Ashina clan gradually declined due to the struggle for successors, and 1589 to take advantage of it. " Suriagehara Battle With Date Masamune Aizu became under the control of Masamune.
The following year, Toyotomi Hideyoshi When Mr. Hojo was destroyed by the conquest of Odawara, this time the territorial punishment in the Ou region (currently the Tohoku region) to hold.
Hideyoshi had made a statement prohibiting the conflict between the daimyo, and confiscated Aizu for violating Masamune's destruction of Ashina.
After Hideyoshi's unification of the world, Aizu was Gamo Ujisato . Will rule.
Ujisato is that Oda Nobunaga He also followed Hideyoshi, who was allowed to welcome his second daughter to the regular room and was highly evaluated for his talent.
Mr. Ujisato, whom Hideyoshi trusted, was placed in Aizu by Masamune in Tohoku. Sanya Kanto Ieyasu Tokugawa It is also said to keep an eye on Mr.
Even if you unified the world, it was never safe.
The mystery of "Gamo uproar"?
Five years later, 1595 , Gamo Ujisato will die.
Child ・ Hideyuki Gamo Kun took over at the young age of only 13 and Tokugawa Ieyasu's 3 daughters are his wife I will head to.
However, Hideyuki is inferior to his father and cannot control the whole house well, " Gamo uproar . The house turmoil will occur. Well, I'm still young.
Hideyoshi, on the other hand, moved the Gamo family from Aizu to Utsunomiya . I let you.
It is said that there was a reason behind this, and Hideyoshi, who loves women, tries to make Hideyoshi's mother, who was very beautiful, into her concubine, but she refused this and she became unpleasant?
Is that so? However,
Sen no Rikyu is famous for the tea that he was very close to Hideyoshi.
Hideyoshi tried to welcome her daughter, but Rikyu refused.
As a result, Hideyoshi got angry and made Rikyu seppuku.
I don't know if it's true, but it's one theory.
In addition, Hideyoshi liked it very much and fought against Ieyasu Tokugawa as a western army in the Battle of Sekigahara Mitsunari Ishida . Mr. Miss.
There is also a theory that Mr. Sansei was dissatisfied with the fact that Hidego was married to Mr. Ieyasu's daughter.
In the first place, it was Mr. Sansei's conspiracy that caused the Gamo riot situation That's why it's possible.
After the Gamo family, Aizu was ruled by the warlord Kenshin Uesugi during the Warring States period. The Uesugi family is also famous.
Kanetsugu Naoe , the chief retainer of the Uesugi family There is a theory that Mr. and Mr. Sansei are very close to each other, and Ieyasu in the Kanto region cannot be suppressed by going to Hide, so he left it to the Uesugi family.
The Uesugi family and Aizu. And to Sekigahara!
Uesugi adopted by Kenshin Uesugi scenic Will rule Aizu.
However, soon after, Hideyoshi Toyotomi, a world-renowned man, died.
Ieyasu Tokugawa was waiting for that, and he was aiming for the next hegemony.
Mitsunari Ishida wasn't silent either, and he planned with Kanetsugu Naoe, the chief retainer of the Uesugi clan, and tried to shoot Ieyasu from Osaka and Aizu in the Kanto region. I went to. (It is said that strengthening Aizu is not such an intention)
Ieyasu told the Uesugi family "Aizu's armament strengthening is something wrong?" I will send a letter.
In response, Kanetsugu returned with provocative content.
This is " Naoe-like "is not it. It is also the source of the battle of Sekigahara.
Ieyasu, who got very angry, finally said, " Aizu Conquest I will embark on.
On the way to Aizu, Ieyasu learns that Mitsunari has started raising troops, and stops conquering Aizu and turns back.
And finally, the East and West forces Sekigahara I was able to see each other.
Summary
This time, I introduced the Aizu region before the Battle of Sekigahara.
Since it is the Aizu region, which is also the entrance to the Tohoku region, many celebrities ruled it.
Since the time of Japan's oldest history books "Kojiki" and "Nihonshoki", the Tohoku region has been "a country far from the capital . Therefore, it was called "Michinoku".
"As is!"
I think that, but it also feels fashionable.
Is it only me that the transition of accents from "Michinoku" to "Michinoku", "Michinokuni", and "Mutsukuni" seems to be somewhat good?
