During the Muromachi period, Awa guardian Hosokawa's guardian Nagayoshi Miyoshi in the Warring States period However, Gekokujo against Mr. Hosokawa, the governor. Not only in the eastern part of Shikoku, including Awa, but also in the entire cabin, it is the first Sengoku daimyo to seize the power of the shogunate * . Miyoshi Government Was built. * It seems that the concept of unification of the world at that time was a little different.
At this time, Kokudaka of Miyoshi Nagayoshi was 2 million stones . So, it was outstanding compared to other Sengoku daimyo. The Miyoshi administration is incorporating the traditional political structure of the Muromachi Shogunate , Acting completely independent of the command hierarchy However, I managed the administration by gaining the support of the national people In the administration, there was a clear political difference from the Muromachi Shogunate system.
Later, Nobunaga Oda also tried to adopt this method to form a government, but it did not work, resulting in the expulsion of Yoshiaki Ashikaga.
Expansion of Miyoshi's power
Miyoshi's leap was triggered by Miyoshi Nagayoshi's grandfather, Yukinaga . Katsumoto Hosokawa According to 1467 I participated in the war as the East Army due to the Onin War.
Child / Masamoto of Katsumoto Hosokawa, the head of the Kanrei family There was no firstborn, so the tributary Hosokawa Sumimoto When he was adopted, Miyoshi Yukinaga supported this and began to fight in various places and improve his martial arts, and became a great influence in Kinai.
From this martial art, from Masamoto Hosokawa Kyocho Hosokawa * I was encouraged and accepted to be a direct vassal of.

Miyoshi Yukinaga and Sumimoto Hosokawa, who had escaped to Omi, are 11th Shogun Yoshizumi Ashikaga . And seized power. Sumimoto Hosokawa, who became the governor, says that he left the politics to Miyoshi Yukinaga.
Miyoshi Yukinaga's seizure of power and the Ryo Hosokawa turbulence
Miyoshi Yukinaga was in control of politics, but he was not able to say that he was on good terms with Sumimoto Hosokawa due to the increasing number of attitudes. In such a situation, the teenage shogun Ashikaga Yoshitane, who was flowing to Suo in November 1507, was the largest guardian daimyo in the West, Ouchi Yoshioki . Has been upheld and sought after.
Sumimoto Hosokawa tried to reconcile with Yoshioki Ouchi, but eternal confusion Hosokawa Takakuni who fought together in Due to the betrayal of 11th Shogun Yoshizumi Ashikaga, Sumimoto Hosokawa, Miyoshi Yukinaga Escaped to Omi, and Yoshitane Ashikaga, who was supported by Yoshioki Ouchi, returned to the general post.
After that, Sumimoto Hosokawa and Miyoshi Yukinaga invaded Kyoto twice, but Yoshizumi Ashikaga died in 1511, so Yoshimoto and Yukinaga fell to Awa and accumulated power ...
1518 With the return of Yoshioki Ouchi, who had supported the administration until now, Hosokawa Takakuni You will be in charge of politics by yourself. The Hosokawa Takakuni administration, which had been a stable government until now, will lose the military center called Yoshioki Ouchi, and will enter a period of great change.
The shogunate, which lost the backing of Mr. Ouchi, was intricately intertwined with each other due to internal conflicts over the general position, internal conflicts between the governors Hosokawa and Hatakeyama, and even Miyoshi. rice field.
Sumimoto and Yukinaga, who had fallen into Omi, also took the opportunity to take the Joraku operation and seize power for a while, but they were killed by Takakuni Hosokawa who came to revenge.
Miyoshi Yukinaga lost in battle Was beheaded, and Sumimoto Hosokawa died after routing to Harima.
Betrayal of Harumoto Hosokawa and Nagayoshi Miyoshi
Miyoshi Yukinaga was executed when he was defeated by Takakuni Hosokawa, and his son Nagahide was also killed in action, so he is the grandson of Yukinaga former chief . Was succeeding Mr. Miyoshi.

However, the Ikko-Ikki he was using became so large that he could not control it, and the origin of the Ikko-Ikki, Ishiyama Hongan-ji And Hosokawa Harumoto With the mediation of 12-year-old Miyoshi Nagayoshi It will be established.
At that time, Miyoshi Nagayoshi was 12 years old, so Harumoto was not excluded, and for Nagayoshi it became a form of selling grace to Harumoto. Not only the power of Chokei himself, but only one year after the death of the former chief, the power of the Miyoshi clan had recovered to the extent that Harumoto Hosokawa and Hongan-ji Ishiyama were reconciled.
And from here Miyoshi's turn It will become.
1539 , Chokei entered Tokyo at the age of 17 through the backing of Ishiyama Hongan-ji Temple, and was appointed as the guardian of Settsu . Then, he served in the Muromachi Shogunate with Settsu and Koshimizu Castle as his residence.

In cooperation with, he succeeded in defeating the power of his father's death one after another in the Battle of Taiheiji, and succeeding in creating a power more than his father and former chief in the Hosokawa family To do.

* Masanaga Miyoshi is from the Miyoshi family and works as an aide to Harumoto Hosokawa.
Nagayoshi Miyoshi, along with Hosokawa Ujitsuna, took control of Kyoto, and the Hosokawa administration since Masamoto Hosokawa collapsed . And Miyoshi administration Is established.
For 10 years after that, Harumoto and Yoshiteru continued to engage in a battle aiming for a return, but 1558 Reconciled with Yoshiteru Ashikaga, 1561 Will also reconcile with Harumoto Hosokawa and put an end to the conflict.
Even after the peace, he remains in control of the shogunate as a leader of the shogunate.
While fighting with the shogun, Miyoshi Nagayoshi also conducted an expedition and expanded the sales channel to in-flight and Shikoku. Yamato / Wakasa It forms a territory covering more than 11 countries such as.
At that time, Mr. Imagawa was 3 countries , Takeda is two countries , Mori Aki 4 countries , Amago Izumo is 6 countries Therefore, it can be seen that the power of Changkei was by far the best at that time. It seems that only Mr. Hojo was able to line up his shoulders.
The collapse of the Miyoshi government
1561 The Miyoshi administration, which has reached its peak, is gradually beginning to fade.
He was the youngest brother and led the Sanuki people [ Oni Togawa ], Miyoshi's general, Sogo Kazumasa Will die of illness. In addition, Yoshikata Miyoshi Was killed in action, and in 1563, his firstborn, Yoshiko, died, and the deaths of influential clans occurred one after another.

And on July 4th of the same year, Miyoshi Nagayoshi Iimoriyama Castle died of illness To do.
He was 43 years old.
Successor Miyoshi Yoshitsugu Is young, so Matsunaga Hisahide and Miyoshi 3 people Supports as a guardian, but eventually they confront each other and cause internal conflict for three years from 1565 to 1568.
After that, Matsunaga Hisahide and Miyoshi Yoshitsugu cooperated with the newly emerging Oda Nobunaga and Ashikaga Yoshiaki .
