The labor problem of black companies that has not been solved even after the Heisei era. The current situation is that there is no end to the number of workers who die from overwork or lose their lives after long working hours.
However, this [ black constitution ] Was not something that suddenly appeared in the Showa and Heisei eras, but it already existed in the Warring States period, going back in history.
This time, the famous black company, Oda Nobunaga Co., Ltd. I was working at [ Akechi Mitsuhide Let's put a spot on Mr.] and take a look at the black color of the Oda clan.
Director Mitsuhide, who has gained tremendous trust from President Nobunaga
I will link to the articles about Akechi Mitsuhide's life and Honnoji Incident, so please refer to them. This time, I will focus on Mitsuhide's life as a company slave.
Yoshiaki Ashikaga When the relationship between Nobunaga and Nobunaga deteriorates, Mitsuhide Decided to quit the Ashikaga clan, the dispatcher, and work for the Oda clan, the dispatcher. Mitsuhide, who had a high ability, was 1570 . Nobunaga's Wakasa / Echizen / Omi / Settsu He served in the offensive and produced results.
In recognition of these achievements, he was given Omi Shiga-gun, which is a strategic point, and Sakamoto Castle is here. Was built. The Oda clan around this time was [ Nobunaga siege ] I was devoted to the battle with the daimyo who participated in the event, and Mitsuhide was also spending every day of the battle.
1573 Yoshiaki Ashikaga After a long trial period, he was recognized as a full-time employee of the Oda clan. After that, he spent his days involved in the internal affairs of Echizen after Mr. Asakura, alongside Kyoto Shoshidai.
At this point, it turns out that because of his talent, he was busy with various tasks from the field to desk work, going back and forth between Wakasa, Echizen, Omi, and Settsu. Even in the present age when the transportation network is well-developed, business trips in this range are troublesome, but Mitsuhide goes back and forth on undeveloped roads by horse, so it seems to be a considerable burden.
Nobunaga who ordered this was exactly the modern template black boss.
The most worked year in my life
Mitsuhide worked the most from 1575 to 1576 It is said that.
Only in the first half of this year
- Battle of Takaya Castle (one of the attacks on Honganji Temple)
- Battle of Nagashino (Battle with Takeda Katsuyori)
While participating in, he has also made many martial arts.
In recognition of his achievements, in July, he was [ entrusted . Given the surname of], at the same time [ Mamoru Hyuga ] Was also appointed. In addition, Nobunaga told Mitsuhide [ Tamba attack ] Command was given.
In modern times, [ Become a big project leader immediately after closing big deals ] Is it something like that? This happens during the year, so I may not be able to keep up.
The career path at the Oda clan is running, but Mitsuhide must have been under tremendous pressure. He works not only for himself but also for the lives of the Akechi clan and his vassals Especially when it comes to that. " Ese company slave like me Mystery, from Mitsuhide's point of view, it may only look like a trivial worker.
To Echizen between the attacks on Tamba ...
June 1575 Was ordered to capture Tamba, but it was September that he actually attacked Tamba. was. During this blank three months, Mitsuhide participated in the company-slave-like eradication of Echizen's Ikko-ikki . was doing. In Echizen, he was active in attacking Kaga, but he returned to Sakamoto because he was officially ordered to attack Tamba.
Mitsuhide was serious about attacking Tamba, but unexpectedly resistance of the people of Tamba Among them, [ Tanba's Red Demon 】 Naomasa Akai Stood in front of Mitsuhide. It seems that there was some confusion about the resistance that was different from the initial assumption, but Mitsuhide proceeded with the Tanba pacification in a straightforward manner.
September The regular battle that started from December Honest Akai He kicked off his army, surrounded Kuroi Castle, and the surrounding lords were so advanced that Mitsuhide was sure to win.
I think that Nobunaga evaluated him and the Oda clan's career advancement route was decided because he had the ability to deal with such some troubles without any trouble. However, the mood of completing the settlement of Tamba was greatly twisted by an unexpected incident.
Operation fails due to sudden betrayal
1575 Is Mitsuhide, who has been recognized by Nobunaga for his many achievements despite the hard work, but 1576 at the beginning of the year. Tanba Heisei is crushed To do.
Hideharu Hatano , a leading figure in Tanba who has helped Mitsuhide's peace. Rebelled It is. Mitsuhide is defeated by a sudden betrayal and returns to Sakamoto, leaving a soldier in Tamba to rebuild the operation. Nobunaga was thinking of a short-term decisive battle, but with this defeat, he will switch to a long-term battle.
Mitsuhide returned to Sakamoto March-April Conducting temple construction in Kyoto After taking it, march to Osaka to attack Honganji Temple To do. However, this Battle of Tennoji So, Mitsuhide is forced to struggle.
Naomasa Harada , a military commander who was in the field with Nobunaga Died, and he and Sakuma Nobuhide The Tennoji castle that was protected by was under the onslaught of a riot under the control of Honganji. The castle, including Mitsuhide, was in a critical situation, and Nobunaga himself was in a difficult situation to rescue them in a hurry.
Due to the defeat of the Battle of Tennoji, many colleagues took responsibility and were purged. It seems that Mitsuhide himself also played the role of purging. In such an environment, due to the failure of Tanba Heisei and repeated defeats, [ next may be myself . ] May have been in a mental state.
No matter how many shrines Mitsuhide has passed through, his mental distress is presumed to be immeasurable.
Fall ill during the attack on Osaka
Kanemi Yoshida says that Mitsuhide collapsed while attacking Hongan-ji Temple in Osaka. It arrived at. Kanemi wrote that Mitsuhide's medical condition was [serious illness], and it can be said that he was in a life-threatening condition. Tokitsugu Yamashina, who was close to Nobunaga, said, "There is a rumor that Mitsuhide died of diarrhea (diarrhea with severe abdominal pain) . I wrote it down.
This information is a hoax, but [ Mitsuhide's condition was so bad that the death theory flowed ] Can also be rephrased.
Kanemi's desperate care and prayer? Maybe it worked, and by the middle of June, I was recovering to the point where I could get one letter.
Mitsuhide has recovered, but his wife, Tsumaki Hiroko ...
However, there is a record that Mitsuhide's wife, Tsumaki Hiroko, fell ill in October of the same year.
Mitsuhide asked Kanemi, who healed himself, to pray, and it seemed that the effect was really good. Heko also got better after a few weeks, and Mitsuhide gave him a silver coin as a thank-you gift. ..
On the other hand, looking at the past books that remain in Saikyoji Temple in Omi, [ Mitsuhide's wife died in November 1576 . ] There is a description. If this wife was Tsumaki Hiroko, she was getting better, but her symptoms suddenly changed and she died?
This truth remains a mystery.
For us modern people, [ prayer cures illness It is hard to believe, but it is certain that Mitsuhide and his wife, Tsumaki Hiroko, are actually recovering, and the existence of Kanemi may have had a positive effect on the disease.
Mitsuhide, who was on the verge of death from overwork, recovered and went to attack Tamba again.
Mitsuhide, who was on the verge of death from overwork and revived from the border of life and death, was 1579 . Achieved the settlement of Tamba. This achievement is said to be the best achievement in Mitsuhide's life, and Nobunaga also gave Tamba, which was settled from that achievement, as Mitsuhide's territory.
After that, Mitsuhide will be used as one of the most influential people of the Oda army until the Honnoji Incident is caused.
Looking at Mitsuhide's company slaves who are too good at the Oda clan, we can see that there are too many jobs because they are too good. Even in modern times, there are many office workers who are too talented and busy, and it can be said that this is a problem that does not change even during the Warring States period.
[ A man who can do it has some troubles You can learn to say that by seeing Mitsuhide's work and collapse.
Honnoji Incident The cause of this has not been clarified yet, but it is possible that Black's boss, Nobunaga's power harassment caused the Honnoji Incident . It may be. (Is it close to the grudge theory?)
Rebellion against Black's boss / company by company slaves If you think about it, if you look at that work, you will understand the reason. Of course, it is not possible to hear the inside of the chest from the person himself, so I just say that there is a possibility, but it may be the real pleasure of history to think about such things and enjoy it.
