However, Hosokawa Harumoto Nagayoshi Miyoshi When the relationship worsens and a dispute arises, Yoshiteru's parents and children who followed Harumoto will be chased again by Kyo. This causes his father, Yoshiharu, to die in the land of Omi.
At this time, Yoshiteru decides to fight the Miyoshi clan at the age of 15, but 1552 Miyoshi Nagayoshi Hosokawa Ujitsuna recommended by Chokei Became a Kanrei. After that, Yoshiteru Ashikaga relied on Mr. Rokkaku of Omi to fight against Nagayoshi Miyoshi and repeated peace.
To the swordsman general who is also recognized by his master, Tsukahara Bokuden ...
Following the disaster from his father, Yoshiharu's generation, Yoshiteru worked hard in martial arts to train himself.
Among all the Muromachi shoguns, he was known as a swordsman and was a sword master Tsukahara Bokuden . Was also a skill that recognized that ability. One theory is that Kensei Kamiizumi Nobutsuna He is also said to have been taught the sword.
1558 A turning point will come to Yoshiki.
Full-scale peace with Nagayoshi Miyoshi was established through the mediation of Rokkaku Yoshikata of Omi.
As a result, he returned to Kyoto for the first time in five years and resumed direct shogunate politics at the Gosho. However, the power of the Miyoshi clan has not weakened, so Yoshiteru is Nagayoshi Miyoshi and Hisahide Matsunaga for restraint. The general's congregation I left it in the shogunate.
Audience of Nobunaga Oda
1559 Nobunaga Oda who achieved the peace of Owari To have an audience with Shogun Yoshiteru Ashikaga in order to have his rule recognized.
This is the first time that Yoshiteru Ashikaga and Nobunaga Oda met in person.
In this audience, Nobunaga seems to have vowed loyalty to the Muromachi Shogunate and presented a lot of money, and in return he got permission to rule Owari, and after returning to Japan as a cause, he tried to complete the unification of Owari. It is believed that it was done.
However, it is said that the true intention was not to pledge allegiance to the shogun, but to confirm the situation in Kyoto at that time. In fact, 1560 Battle of Okehazama Later, Nobunaga embarked on the capture of Mino in order to find the way to Joraku.
The death of Nagayoshi Miyoshi and the speculation of Matsunaga Hisahide
Although the Miyoshi clan's power is still strong, Yoshiki, who has settled down in Kyoto for the time being, decides to welcome his postponed Seishitsu. At that time he was 23 years old and was married late at that time.
A princess from the Konoe family welcomed her into her regular room, which succeeded in strengthening the connection with the imperial court.
1564 There will be a chance for Yoshiteru Ashikaga.
Even the younger brothers and firstborns who supported the Miyoshi clan, who had become de facto world-renowned people, died one after another. Chokei, who was shocked by this event, will disappear as it is.
Nagayoshi Miyoshi It was the 6th year since I became a puppet.
Among the joys of Yoshiteru, the Miyoshi clan had excellent vassals.
That is Matsunaga Hisahide and Miyoshi Sanjin was.
Yoshiteru was trying to take the lead, but Hisahide and Miyoshi Sanjin still have to remain clowns. If Shogun Yoshiteru had no intention of becoming a clown, he had to think about exclusion by force.
The end of Yoshiteru Ashikaga ( Eiroku no Hen )
Yoshiteru Ashikaga is Puppet General Matsunaga Hisahide and Miyoshi Sanjin Is June 17, 1565 Surrounded by 10,000 troops at Yoshiteru's Imperial Palace.
This eternal change is famous for Matsunaga Hisahide as one of the masterminds, but strictly speaking, his son Matsunaga Hisamichi is the mastermind and carries out it. Hisahide seems to have been in his own territory in Yamato Province at this time, but there is no doubt that he knew something about it.
Yoshiteru Ashikaga noticed the incident at the Gosho, but his aides were only about 30 and could not compete with 10,000 soldiers. However, Yoshiteru couldn't do it for free.
His aides and Yoshiteru broke up with each other and slaughtered.
It is said that one aide struggled to defeat dozens of people by himself, and Yoshiki also fought with his own weapons. Yoshiki, who studied under Tsukahara Bokuden and was taught to the mystery, decided to wield his skill at the end of his life.
Yoshiki stabbed a traditional sword into a tatami mat and prepared a spare, and when he slashed the enemy and the sword became useless, he repeatedly replaced it with a new sword and continued to slash the enemy.
The Matsunaga army could not be defeated for the first time as a swordsman.
Therefore, it is said that he pushed down from all sides with tatami mats and stabbed a stop.
13th Shogun Muromachi, Yoshiteru Ashikaga ... He was 30 years old.
At this time, his biological mother, Keijuin, who was in the same place, is also suicide. And her concubine, which was carrying his child, was also killed. Miyoshi and Matsunaga mercilessly killed Yoshiteru's officials, and the only one left behind was Yoshiteru, the 15th shogun.
Ashikaga Yoshiteru's death poem is ...
" May rain is dew or tears? Hototogisu, give my name to the top of the clouds
(Is it just rain, or is it my tears that die with regret? Hototogisu, please give me my name, who died in battle without giving up pride, above the clouds. Please deliver it to)
Yoshiteru Ashikaga's wish to regain the authority of the Ashikaga Shogunate with his father, Yoshiteru, was only due to the attacks by Miyoshi and Matsunaga. After that, the shogun family continued with the 14th and 15th generations, but the authority of the shogunate did not return and the Muromachi Shogunate went to extinction.
Mr. Miyoshi and Mr. Matsunaga who attacked the shogun are also drunk by the world of the Sengoku period, which was rough on the shogunate, and will be destroyed.
