[Father and brother of Minamoto no Yoritomo] After Genji lost in the Heiji rebellion!

"Genpei War" And "Let's make a good country Kamakura Shogunate" Genji and Taira who are famous for such things.

This time, Minamoto no Yoritomo will be the first shogun of the Kamakura Shogunate. ( Tomo Minamoto ) I would like to introduce you and their families.

Genji's Firstborn ( Firstborn ) The Kamakura Shogunate was established as a company, but there were various difficulties in getting there.

Defeated in the battle with Taira, the death of his father and brothers, the life of a drifter, and the expulsion of his younger brothers who were the driving force behind the Taira clan.

What happened to Genji's decline and revival?

Minamoto no Yoritomo's father, Minamoto no Yoshitomo!

Execution of father and younger brother due to Hogen rebellion?

1156 , Internal conflict " Hogen ( " Hogen ) Ran " Has happened.

Hogen Rebellion is the 75th Emperor Sōtoku ( Sutoku ) Emperor And the 77th Emperor Go-Shirakawa ( Goshirakawa ) Emperor It's an internal conflict between brothers.

Emperor Sutoku, who lost this conflict, is Sanuki Province ( Sanuki no Kuni ) He was exiled to (currently Kagawa Prefecture) and died eight years later without returning to Kyo.

The legend of Emperor Sutoku's grudge that left a grudge is famous.

Minamoto no Yoritomo Father, Minamoto no Yoshitomo ( Yoshitomo Minamoto ) Is Taira no Kiyomori ( Taira no Kiyomori ) I will win with Go-Shirakawa with San and others.

And how, Yoshitomo's father, Minamoto no Tameyoshi , who was defeated by Emperor Sutoku. ( Good for everyone ) Execution of Mr. and his younger brothers I will do it.

When I followed Yoshitomo, he asked for the help of his father and younger brother who had surrendered, even though he had a bad relationship with his family, but it did not come true.

Conflict with Taira no Kiyomori in the Heiji rebellion!

1159 , just three years after the Hogen rebellion " Heiji ( Heishi ) Ran " Will occur.

The reason for the Heiji rebellion is Go-Shirakawa And child Emperor Nijo There were dissatisfaction with the disparity in the prizes of Genji and Taira due to the Hogen rebellion.

At one point, Yoshitomo was the closest power to Kyoto, Harima Province ( . Harima no Kuni ) Harima Mamoru in (currently Hyogo Prefecture) ( Harima no Kami ) (Previously, Mr. Kiyomori was Harima Mamoru), but the members of the imperial court began to support Mr. Kiyomori and Mr. Taira, and Mr. Yoshitomo and Mr. Genji were targeted for subjugation. It has happened.

The devastated Yoshitomo army tries to fall to the eastern country in order to recover, but on the way, it meets the betrayal of the servant's servant who was close to him, and kills while taking a bath. It will be done.

After that, "Not in the Heike, not in the people" It has become a world of Taira's heyday.

After the brothers of Minamoto no Yoritomo who lost to Mr. Taira?

The eldest son, Minamoto no Yoshihira, also known as Minamoto no Yoshihira!

1141 , Born as the eldest son, but his mother is a prostitute in the suburbs of Kyoto, and Sagami Province ( Sagami no Kuni ) There is a theory that it is the daughter of Mr. Miura, who had a great power in (currently Kanagawa Prefecture), and in any case, he was not a heir to the "firstborn" because he was not a child of Seishitsu.

He is 6 years older than Yoritomo.

Around 15 , Uncle Minamoto no Yoshikata who was in conflict with his father, Yoshitomo ( How to do it all ) "Okura Battle" I defeated him at a young age and made Takena roar.

From around this time, "Kamakura Evil Genta" Will be called. By the way, it seems that this "evil" does not mean "bad person" but "strong".

Yoshinaka-kun, a 2-year-old child of Yoshinaka who escaped in this Okura battle, will later confront Yoritomo-san Kiso Yoshinaka ( Kiso Yoshinaka ) Mr. is. This name is quite famous.

1159 Due to the Heiji rebellion, Yoshitomo asks Yoshihira, who was in the eastern country, for reinforcements.

Yoshihira fought hard with the Heike army, which is superior in military strength.

"The 17 Taira clan led by Yoshihira chased after the 500 Taira clan running away!" There is also a legend.

However, in the end, Genji was defeated and tried to fall to the eastern country with Yoshitomo and others.

Along the way, Yoshitomo was murdered and returned to the capital to avenge his father's death, but the following year he was captured and executed . It has been done.

20 years old.

Minamoto no Tomonaga, the second son who died in the hands of his father due to an injury!

1143 Born as the second son. He is four years older than Yoritomo.

My mother is Yoshitomo's vassal, Yoshimichi Hatano ( Hatano Yoshimichi ) Sister.

It seems that Yoshitomo-san and Yoshitomo-san got sick because his younger brother, Yoritomo-san, became a firstborn man more than his brother, Tomonaga-san. It may be unavoidable because it is not a regular room.

Defeated by the Heiji rebellion, he was hunted for a fallen man on his way to the eastern country, and was injured by an arrow on his left thigh.> It is said that he had it.

16 years old.

Mr. Tomonaga's grave was known to Mr. Taira and was exposed to the riverbank of Kyoto with his father's neck.

Later, his neck was taken back and buried, but for this reason, Tomonaga's graves are said to be in two locations, Gifu and Shizuoka prefectures.

Entering the Edo period, Matsuo Basho ( Matsuo Basho ) Visited Tomonaga's grave,

" Moss ( Koke ) Buried ( Uzu ) Mu Ivy ( Tsuta ) Nembutsu Ya ( Kana )

I wrote a haiku.

Does that mean, "It's a tomb entwined with moss and ivy, but when you stand in front of the tomb, you can hear the Nembutsu of Tomonagaden."

Minamoto no Yoritomo, the first shogun of the Kamakura Shogunate, the firstborn of Genji!

1147 , Born as Yoshitomo's third son. His mother is an aristocrat, Fujiwara no Suenori ( Fujiwara nori ) Daughter's Yura Gozen ( Yuragozen ) Mr. Miss. Yoritomo was the firstborn of Genji because it was Yoshitomo's regular room.

The eldest son, Yoshihira, was unofficial and was promoted faster than the second son, Tomonaga, so it seems that he was treated well as a firstborn son.

At the time of the Heiji rebellion, I was still 13 years old After losing to the Heike army, he heads to the east with his father and brothers.

However, Mr. Yoritomo, who was young, was separated from everyone due to fatigue and was caught by Mr. Taira.

He was sent to Mr. Taira no Kiyomori and prepared for execution, but due to the petition of Mr. Kiyomori's stepmother, he was exiled to Izu without execution.

And about 20 years In the meantime, you will live a wandering life here.

1180 , Many people are dissatisfied with the rise of the Heike family, and this triggered the third prince of Go-Shirakawa, Prince Mochihito . ( Mochi Hitou ) "The life of the Taira clan" to Genji scattered all over the country Was given.

Yoritomo also decided to raise troops, Minamoto no Yoshitsune San and his younger brothers also rush.

And 5 years after the start of raising troops Finally, Mr. Yoritomo succeeded in pursuing Mr. Taira and achieved the establishment of the Kamakura Shogunate.

However, behind the scenes, the younger brothers who were working hard to pursue Mr. Taira were punished. There is also the fact that we will do it.

This is introduced in this article.
