Taiga drama Kirin ga Kuru When I look at it, I think it's a person who is in demand at the beginning. Mitsubuchi Fujihide There will be a person called. Matsunaga Hisahide and Miyoshi Nagayoshi Anyone who likes the Warring States period knows such things, but I didn't know much about Mitsubuchi Fujihide, so I looked it up.
As far as Kirin is looking at Kuru, I know that he is a person who is positioned as an aide to the shogun, but what kind of person is he and what role does he have?
Overview of Mitsubuchi Fujihide
Although he is not well known in the world, he is a cultural figure of both Bunbu and Fujitaka, Fujitaka Hosokawa . Katsuhide Mitsubuchi, who has a career as his brother, is Haruka Mitsubuchi with Fujitaka. I was born as the eldest son.
12th Shogun Yoshiharu Ashikaga, 13th Shogun Yoshiteru, 15th Shogun Yoshiaki Served as a vassal of the shogunate. Until the end, he maintained his loyalty as a vassal of the Muromachi Shogunate, but when the Shogunate collapsed due to the expulsion of Yoshiaki, he served the Oda clan, but suddenly he touched Nobunaga's rebellion and confiscated his territory and committed suicide.
The amount of information is small only for minor warlords, but I will write as much as I can understand, so I hope it will be useful as much as possible.

According to one theory, he is said to be younger than his younger brother, Fujitaka Hosokawa, and his birth is not clear. According to the conventional wisdom, Fujitaka was 1534 if he was his brother. Since he was born, it is presumed that he was born before that.
The life of Mitsubuchi Fujihide's bakushin
Father Mitsubuchi Haruka Since his sister was a nursery teacher for Shogun Yoshiharu Ashikaga, he had a close relationship with Yoshiharu Mitsubuchi. I was in a high position.
Born to the firstborn of Mr. Mitsubuchi, who had established himself as a family of the shogun of the Muromachi Shogunate, Fujihide will live a life promised to be an elite bureaucrat of the Shogunate.
Muromachi Shogunate's Hokoushu Is one of the bureaucrats of the Shogunate, and inherited the system of the Goshouchi guards of the Kamakura Shogunate with the military power under the direct control of the Shogun. The magistrates were civilian officials of the shogunate, while the magistrates were military officials.
Hideyoshi Toyotomi, who later unified the world, also established this public system.
Originally, I would like to say that the future is promised and a happy life on the career path of the Muromachi Shogunate, but at the time of the Warring States period, the authority of the Shogunate had already fallen and even the samurai warriors and shoguns were expelled from Kyoto. ..
Mitsubuchi Fujihide was born in such an era of unfavorable generals Although he has not made any outstanding achievements, he can be said to have contributed to the revival of the Muromachi Shogunate with his younger brother, Fujitaka.
Mitsubuchi Fujihide's life as a bakushin
Mitsubuchi Fujihide was a person who left behind the achievements rather than making achievements in the war.
There are few historical materials, and I do not know the steps to serve the shogun family, but the 12th shogun Yoshiharu Ashikaga does not deviate from the elite line. Around that time, I started my life as a bakushin. However, at that time, the shogunate was forced to live an unfavorable life while being tossed by the people in power at the time.
Therefore, even though he was a shogun of the shogunate, he was humiliated by being expelled from his hometown of Kyoto and returning. Nevertheless, Yoshiharu Ashikaga managed to make his own child, Yoshiteru, the 13th Shogun.
Yoshiteru Ashikaga, Bakushin era
Yoshiteru, who became the 13th Shogun, was trying to regain the authority of the Shogun, but he was eager to regain the authority of the Shogun. And Fujitaka That's how it was.
When the work of Shogun Yoshiteru and Mitsubuchi Fujihide makes it possible for him to return to Kyoto for the first time in five years, he will actively give up the worries of each daimyo in order to strengthen the power of the shogun. However, many people did not like it, and did not achieve the desired results.
In particular, Miyoshi Nagayoshi and Miyoshi Sanjin , who had idealized a puppet general in order to seize power. For me, Shogun Yoshiteru was nothing in the way. Thus, 1565 Eiroku no Hen , the assassination of a shogun masterminded by Miyoshi Sanjin Will happen.
At this time, Fujihide rescued Yoshiteru's younger brother, Yoshiteru, along with Fujitaka and other bakushin, and fell out of the hands of the Miyoshi group.
To support Yoshiaki Ashikaga
After the change of Eiroku, Mitsubuchi Fujihide Immediately tries to make Yoshiteru's younger brother Yoshiteru stand up as a rival horse, but Ashikaga Yoshihide has already been set up by the 14th Shogun Miyoshi Sanjin. Was If this happens, Yoshiaki cannot be made a shogun by his own power.
Therefore, we decided to request Joraku with the help of leading daimyo in each region, but it was the Fujihide and Fujitaka brothers who contributed to this. Hexagon → Takeda → Asakura After wandering, Akechi Mitsuhide We succeeded in obtaining the cooperation of Oda Nobunaga through the mediation of.
When Yoshiaki was espoused by Nobunaga Oda and became the 15th shogun, Fujihide participated in the battle with the remnants of Miyoshi in Yamashiro Province at the behest of Nobunaga, and became a senior vassal of Yoshiaki for his achievements and political skills. Will be.
However, this life is not long, and when Nobunaga and Yoshiaki confront each other, Fujihide and Fujitaka choose to live another life.
Looking at the power at that time, it was clear that Nobunaga's power was superior, no matter how general he was. However, it was chosen that Fujihide would be on the Yoshiaki side and Fujitaka would be on the Nobunaga side. Furious at Fujitaka's betrayal, Fujihide plans to attack the castle, but a disturbing air flows at the end of the attempt.
1573 When Yoshiaki decides to raise troops, Fujihide accompanies him.
Yoshiaki Makishima Castle Fujihide is Nijo Castle Started siege at. However, when Nobunaga's army siege, all the bakushin except Fujihide surrendered, leaving only themselves and their forces. Still, I will do my loyalty and struggle alone, but Katsuie Shibata It was decided to surrender the castle in response to the persuasion.
After the surrender, we will return to Fushimi Castle, where we live, and see Makishima Castle in front of us fall due to the Oda army's total attack. In this battle, Yoshiaki Ashikaga was banished by Nobunaga, and the Muromachi Shogunate was virtually destroyed.
Fujihide became a colleague with Fujitaka as a vassal of the Oda clan, but the following year, Nobunaga confiscated his territory and Akechi Mitsuhide was assigned to dispose of it. Unfortunately, I don't know if the reason for this is Nobunaga's sudden thing or something that wasn't in the historical records.
Finally
If anything, it seems that he was a person who was better at practical processing than a military commander who was active in the war. Speaking of famous people, Mitsunari Ishida It may have been a person like. (I think he was more humane than him ...)
He may also be one of the wrong people in his time of birth. If he was born in the middle of the Edo period during the bureaucratic samurai era, he may have become a talented person in history.
