From the Kofun period to the Asuka period, the great tribes will have great power. This time we will take a closer look at the background. I will write it so that I can understand the process leading up to the Iwai Rebellion. Then, please.
About the Yamato administration, a major force in the Kofun period
The state of power changes depending on the time of year, so let's check the simple circumstances around it.
[Early] (3rd-4th centuries) ... Coalition government by the powerful tribes
[Mid-term] (4th-5th centuries) ... The Yamato administration has become stronger
The tomb of the Great King begins to appear (=large-scale tumulus)
[Late] (6th-7th centuries) ... Power is concentrated on the central king
Local lords belong to
In the early days, politics was carried out by multiple powerful tribes, as in the case of Izumo's transfer of the country, but it is said that in the middle period, it changed to a diarchy of the great king and the powerful tribes.
* The details of Izumo's transfer to the country are described in the article below. Please note that this is a loose article with many illustrations.
It was Katsuragi that emerged in the diarchy. .. Although it is a powerful family based in the Katsuragi area of Nara prefecture, in the latter half of the 5th century, the 21st Yuryakucho It will fall (although Katsuragi's daughter is married to Emperor Yuryaku).
This Emperor Yuryaku However, in addition to striving to promote the breeding industry by making heavy use of migrant engineers, we are also actively negotiating with the Korean Peninsula and mainland China. Emperor Yuryaku Is also a great king who is good at armed forces, and is said to be the "bu" in the five kings "San, Chin, Sei, Ko, Take" written in the "Song Book", and is also on the Korean Peninsula (military). It is said that he had advanced to Japan.
This is followed by a short-lived emperor of about four generations. The last 25th emperor had no children, so Otomo Kanamura And Mononobe no Arakabi Is the Emperor Keitai of the 26th Emperor I will pull out.
* Emperor Keitai Is the 15th Emperor Ojin It is the fifth grandson of (from Nihon Shoki). Emperor Ojin Is the Empress at that time ( Empress Jingu It is said that he took power from his brother, who is his legitimate successor, along with (which he took power for a long time after the death of the former emperor). The truth is unknown, but it seems that Emperor Keitai was born in Tsukushi on the way back from the conquest of Shinra, and there were rumors that he was the king of the horse race who came from the continent. Perhaps it is a plot on the Silla side, but ... Anyway, he is an inseparable person from the continent.
Emperor Keitai Is the founder of the new dynasty? It is said that, but now that it is a story of a powerful family, I will leave it for a while.
Anyway, Emperor Keitai Was strongly recommended by Otomo And Mr. Mononobe It was. Both of them are said to have actually played a military role. Apparently Emperor Emperor It seems that it was heavily used from around.
The situation on the Korean Peninsula, which is indispensable for the ancient history of Japan
Goguryeo in the north of the Korean Peninsula since the beginning of the 5th century Has begun a southward policy, Baekje ・ Silla Has an alliance. Goguryeo The southward policy of China was (Gohu) Sixteen Kingdoms at that time. ~ Northern and Southern Dynasties It is believed that the background was the confusion during the transition period.
On the other hand, Japan Was most closely related to Kaya It is the southern part (also known as Kara). Kaya Is like a collection of nations that never merged into one nation until its destruction? It's a country.
Such Kaya There are some prosperous places in the country. Kaya Initially Kim Governor A place called (Kinkankoku) prospers, but from the latter half of the 5th century (because the money government was attacked by Goguryeo and lost its power), it had an advantage in producing iron suitable for the inland area. (Daikaya) Has become a developed area.
Japan Is in a position to retain its influence on the Korean Peninsula for the import of resources. For that reason, Goguryeo to gain an advantage in the conflict of Korean Peninsula countries. And Ogaya ( Goguryeo Baekje to counter ・ Kaya Southern Japan There was an alliance between them).
In such a confused situation on the Korean Peninsula, Gaya Will gradually lose power. In fact, the Keitai at the beginning of the 6th century Then, one of the important issues is the relationship with the Korean Peninsula. Under such circumstances, it was Silla in the southern part of the Korean Peninsula that gradually emerged. is.
Here Succession Morning Baekje ・ Kaya The South will seek help. After all, in 527, Emperor Keitai Is Silla Ordered to send troops to conquer (originally Emperor Keitai Is a legitimate successor or a person who is suspicious). But Silla Of course, we will take measures.
When sending troops from Wakoku to the Korean Peninsula, it is still the northern part of Kyushu that bears a heavy burden. So Silla Is Tsukushi's national building "Iwai" in northern Kyushu It seems that he took a bribe to.
As a result, Iwai Rebellion It is said that it led to a rebellion called.
Iwai Rebellion After the settlement, Silla I'm going on an expedition, but it's already late. Silla Is already strong and the expedition ends in failure.
Iwai Rebellion Mr. Mononobe Played a central role, while the person responsible for the Korean Peninsula was Otomo . .. (29th) Kinmei Morning In Mr. Mononobe Pursuing that responsibility, Otomo Kanamura Is a retreat. Mr. Otomo It will be the end of the heyday of, but after that, Otomo often Is looking into the front stage of history.
* Since the Emperor Keitai has been divided since the death of Emperor Keitai, it seems that he has changed from the 26th generation to the 29th generation at once, but the timing does not change so much.
* The famous descendant of Mr. Otomo is "Otomo no Yakamochi". I think he has seen it in Japanese textbooks as a poet of "Manyoshu".
The introduction of Buddhism and the foundation for the rise of the Soga clan
This Kinmeicho However, there will be important events that will affect the future. First Buddhism Introduced. This has had a great impact to this day. Secondly, Soga That I had a daughter.
Mr. Soga Is a family with a close relationship with the migrants. Shinabe leader Otomo with many migrants It can be said that he is the best person to establish a relationship with the Korean Peninsula after his defeat. Actually Otomo Soga before the fall Was with the minister. That is Otomo I'm not sure if it was a preparation before the defeat, but I'm guessing.
Anyway, Baekje Buddhism allegedly transmitted from Is recommended by Soga It's a natural process for us.
On the other hand, Mr. Mononobe There is no interesting reason for it. Originally, Mr. Mononobe Is said to have had a function related to the ancient Japanese religion, and Kinmeicho Buddhism Mr. Soga (Actually, the imperial court's intention is Mr. Mononobe The intention to suppress the power of
From here Mr. Soga And Mr. Mononobe Conflict is going into full swing, but as you know the result. Soga of the Buddhist sect That's why the gunbai went up.
Buddhism as in the article I wrote earlier, Guns, Iron, and Pathogens Smallpox almost at the same time Mr. Soga because a pandemic that seems to be coming in In some cases, the influence of was reduced. But Kinmeicho Soga no Iname who became a minister in Japan Since then, especially Mr. Mononobe After hitting Mr. Soga The one-pole system will continue.
Mr. Soga because it was written in a later history book Is written particularly badly. As far as I can see from that book, the dedication is amazing. The assassination of the emperor is rumored.
Naturally, it caused a backlash, and Yin Wood Snake (Isshi no Hen, Oshi no Hen) However, I will write it again. Currently, Taika Reform It is said that the event called is referring to a series of political reforms after the defeat of Soga no Iruka by Prince Nakatomi and Nakatomi Kamatari (corrected on February 22, 2015).
In addition, Soga no Iname It seems that his wife was the reason why he became a minister, and he wrote about the process leading up to the confrontation of the powerful tribes during the Kofun period. / strong> Daughter is Soga no Iname Seems to be married to.
The above is the history of the conflict between the ancient burial mounds and the Asuka period.
