Minamoto no Yoritomo who defeated the Heike and opened the shogunate in Kamakura Brother, Yoshitsune Is a person with various anecdotes.
The description is various, and the evaluation is divided between what is called a beautiful boy and what is called ugly.
Two Yoshitsune
[ Genpei Jōsuiki In the book, [ fair-skinned, good-looking, elegant movement ] And has been praised as [ Gikeiki ] But [ Beautiful eyebrows and unparalleled ] Is written. In addition, the thieves who attacked Yoshitsune talked about Yoshitsune [ Yang Guifei . It is also written that Yoshitsune is a person that many women long for.
On the other hand, [ The Tale of the Heike ] Then, [ inferior to the best waste compared to Heike's officials ] Is written, [ Chibi and protruding teeth ] Is described strictly. [ Kowakamai ] But, [ monkey's eyes with red beard on curved teeth ] And it is a strict evaluation.
In such extreme evaluations, one hypothesis was made.
In this era, Minamoto no Yoritomo There was another Minamoto no Yoshitsune with his younger brother Yoshitsune.
That Yoshitsune is Yamamoto Yoshitsune [ Minamoto no Yoshimitsu ] Flow [ Gen Omi ] So, he was the owner of Yamamoto-jo Castle in Nagahama, Omi, and was known as a very good military commander. He is also a good bloodline of Genji, and his real name is [ Minamoto no Yoshitsune . ] And had the same surname and same name as Yoshitsune Minamoto no Yoshitsune.
Yamamoto Yoshitsune Is Battle of Uji River Yoshinaka Kiso Joined the army of Minamoto no Yoshitsune I mixed the blade. In this battle, Yoshinaka Kiso Due to a series of actions that began with the imprisonment of the Pope, he lost his hope, and the followers of Yoshinaka were separated and lost the battle.
Yoshitsune Yamamoto who joined the army of Yoshinaka Kiso Has no official record since this battle and is unknown.
Battle of Uji River Subsequent Minamoto no Yoshitsune As you all know, Minamoto no Yoshitsune, who had little experience in battle, Battle of Yashima and Dannoura Were you able to play an active part in?
A hypothesis is made here, and after the Battle of Uji River, Yoshinaka Kiso Yamamoto Yoshitsune But somehow Minamoto no Yoshitsune Maybe you joined the army Is believed to be. If Yamamoto, who had experience in naval battles at Lake Biwa, had the role of Yoshitsune's naval battle, Minamoto no Yoshitsune, who had little experience in battle, would be able to play an active role.
It was Yoshitsune Yamamoto, not Minamoto no Yoshitsune, who escaped from Oshu! ??
His brother Minamoto no Yoritomo The gap between the two is deepening, and Fujiwara no Hidehira in Oshu It was Minamoto no Yoshitsune who was living with him, but after Hidehira's death, his child Yasuhira Minamoto no Yoshitsune was attacked by Hiraizumi's Kinugawa no Yakata Suicide with.
At this time, Yoshitsune escaped and crossed the continent, [ Genghis Khan . ] And Ezochi ( Hokkaido) There is also a folklore that is said to have passed to. It is said that Yoshitsune's folklore is left in about 110 places in Hokkaido.
Besides, Tohoku area It is said that the tradition of Yoshitsune remains.
However, even if Minamoto no Yoshitsune escaped from Mr. Fujiwara Oshu successfully, after the shogunate's command was reached all over the country, Yoshitsune could not escape, and it is normal to think that he had committed suicide in Hiraizumi, Oshu. is.
If so, why does Yoshitsune's folklore remain in various parts of Tohoku?
That's where Yamamoto Yoshitsune comes out. is.
It was Minamoto no Yoshitsune who escaped from Mr. Fujiwara Oshu. Not Yamamoto Yoshitsune If so, doesn't it make sense?
After that, Yoshitsune can explain what left a mark in various parts of Tohoku, and Yamamoto Yoshitsune If so, it is not Minamoto no Yoshitsune, so the search by the Shogunate will be passed through.
Another reason was that there was a person Yamamoto relied on in Togoku.
That is Minamoto no Yoshinori Is the founder Satake family So, the owner, Hideyoshi Satake He was fleeing to Oshu in conflict with Yoritomo. After that, it was forgiven by Minamoto no Yoritomo, and Oshu Battle Hideyoshi Satake, who gave his martial arts in, once again Gokenin Is recognized as.
Yamamoto, who escaped from Mr. Fujiwara and lurked in Oshu, was in Oshu due to the subjugation of Mr. Fujiwara Hideyoshi Satake It is quite possible to rely on, and it is highly possible that Yamamoto, who excels in martial arts, was welcomed by Hideyoshi.
Perhaps after moving around Tohoku, Ezo Ainu God according to tradition May have become.
Originally, there are many folklore and myths Minamoto no Yoshitsune Therefore, what I wrote this time is not absolute.
All of these are just hypotheses, and I hope you enjoy this as one of the folklore.
