Battle of Yamazaki Hideyoshi Hashiba, who defeated Akechi Mitsuhide in, regained the order of the main Oda territory and is attracting attention as the successor to Nobunaga Oda in both name and reality.
On the other hand, Katsuie Shibata , the chief retainer, lags behind Nobunaga's katakiuchi. And Takigawa Kazumasu June 27, 1582 to curb the rise of Hideyoshi In Kiyosu Castle, we gathered the Oda clan's chief retainers and held the Kiyosu conference to decide the legitimate successor of Nobunaga.
Members of Kiyosu Conference
In the land of Kiyosu, second son Nobuo and third son Nobutaka In addition, influential vassals such as Kazumasu Takigawa also gathered, but it was Hideyoshi Hashiba, Nagahide Niwa, Katsuie Shibata, Tsuneoki Ikeda who attended the Kiyosu conference to select Nobunaga's successor. It was the Oda family's four shukuro.
At this point, the Oda clan's chief retainer was Shibata Katsuie . So, the second place is Niwa Nagahide, Tsuneoki Ikeda who played an active part in the Battle of Yamazaki with Hideyoshi Hashiba in 3rd place However, at this time, he was in the fourth position as a senior citizen. Everyone thought that Mr. Shibata and Mr. Niwa would have the right to speak, but Hideyoshi, who had played the enemy of Nobunaga, was in control of the meeting from beginning to end.
As mentioned above, the Kiyosu conference refers to a conference in which the Oda clan Shijukuro chose a successor to Nobunaga in a separate room.
The agenda of the Kiyosu conference is Nobunaga's successor and territorial distribution
At this Kiyosu conference, either Nobukatsu Oda or Nobutaka was considered to be the successor, and if Nobutaka became the successor, it was thought that the influence of the Shibata Katsuie who was pushing him would increase. However, Hideyoshi did not recommend either Nobutaka or Nobutaka, and Oda Nobutada's firstborn, Sanboshi . Insisted that it was a good idea to make him a successor, and Hideyoshi's opinion was passed by Nagahide Niwa's support for this.
In addition, the territory was redistributed after Nobunaga's death, and Katsuie Shibata Is Echizen and Omi Nagahama Hideyoshi is Harima / Yamashiro / Kawachi / Tamba Nagahide Niwa Is Wakasa / Omi Nigun , Ikeda Tsuneoki In addition to Ikeda in Settsu, most of the Settsu / Kawachi region such as Arioka, Osaka, Amagasaki, and Hyogo. I got it.
On the other hand, Nobunaga's children are Nobutaka Oda throughout Mino Province . Nobuo is Ise and Owari Province Will rule.
Isn't this the recognition at the general Kiyosu conference?
In addition, there is a theory that the second son, Nobuo, and the third son, Nobutaka, did not insist on each other's successors, so they discussed with Hideyoshi and decided to establish Nobunaga's grandson, Sanboshi. is. At that time, Katsuie Shibata, who wanted to push Nobutaka, is said to have been unable to disagree with Hideyoshi, who was raised in position due to the achievements of the Battle of Yamazaki.
Regardless of the myth, Katsuie Shibata wanted to recommend Nobutaka, the third son, but this was a later creation. It seems that it was decided that Nobunaga would succeed to the family.
Therefore, the Kiyosu Conference is a meeting that gathers at Kiyosu Castle, where Hidenobu's successor, Sanboshi, is located, and decides on a system to support Sanboshi. It seems to be the view.
Hideyoshi was not the guardian of Sanboshi
Kiyosu Conference In various works, Hideyoshi admits that he will be the guardian of the Sanboshi, and he admits his authority and holds the real power of the Oda clan However, the actual guardianship is the second son, Nobuo, and the third son, Nobutaka, with Hidemasa Hori as the guardian.
After the meeting, Nobutaka, the third son, kept Sanboshi in Gifu, which caused him to confront Hideyoshi. Katsuie Shibata is on the side of Nobutaka, and Hideyoshi accuses Nobukatsu Oda of rebellion. We will face Nobutaka and Katsuie.
Hideyoshi, who defeated the Shibata Katsuie in a series of Oda clan division struggles and the Battle of Shizugatake, later confronted Oda Nobukatsu, who was the deputy head of the Oda clan, and was in conflict in the battle between Komaki and Nagakute. After that, I will obey Hideyoshi.
As mentioned above, it can be seen that Hideyoshi did not rule the Oda clan as a guardian of the Sanboshi.
It is believed that Hideyoshi was a long-term strategy to divide the Oda clan, whose head was the Sanboshi, into the Oda clan due to the conflict between Nobutaka and Nobutaka, and to gain the benefit of the fishermen.
