Sat Kiyorien Is a military commander who was active from the end of the Kamakura period to the Northern and Southern Dynasties.
He is a shocking person who has shown a great deal of stormy weather, but I would like to introduce Toki Yorien, who tends to be buried because it is not a major era.
Toki Yorien's career path
Toki Yorisada was born as the sixth son of Toki Yorisada, the first guardian of Mino in the Muromachi period. During the Kamakura period, he and his father, Toki Yorisada, served in the Kamakura Shogunate's authority, the Hojo Tokusou family, and Rokuhara Tandai. It seems that his grandmother is the daughter of the Kamakura Shogunate, and you can see that Mr. Toki has been heavily used since the Kamakura period.
This boy should be such a good boy, but Yorien was a very unique person. At that time, it seems that there was a social trend and fashion that rebelled against the old authority because the clothes and actions were flashy and fluttering.
Such people are called " Basara Daimyo I call it. Yorien is like the head of the Basara daimyo. He is generally strong in war. Yorien is also one of the people who made a name for himself in the war.
In the midst of Rokuhara Tandai, Emperor Go-Daigo decided to subdue the Kamakura Shogunate. It seems that some of the Toki clan were on the anti-Kamakura shogunate side during the first defeat movement of Emperor Go-Daigo. Yorien's father was also one of the suspected defeats, but he escaped the difficulty just by suspicion.
Although the first failure ended, in 1333 Emperor Go-Daigo escaped from the place where he was captured and tried to recover.
"Please cooperate because it will be overthrown."
After receiving an apology from Emperor Go-Daigo, Yorien raised troops with his father and joined Ashikaga Takauji's army.
When Emperor Go-Daigo undertook a new government of Kenmu after the fall of the Kamakura Shogunate, his father was appointed as a guardian of Mino due to his achievements until then, but when the new government of Kenmu failed, Takauji Ashikaga was recruited. Support another emperor. Together with his father, under Takauji, he fought in various places against Emperor Go-Daigo, and in the repeated battles, Yorien made a name for himself.
By the way, the imperial court where Takauji held at this time was "Northern Court" . , "Southern Court" the imperial court newly created by Emperor Go-Daigo Is called. Yorien Is a Northern Court Warlord who has a close relationship with Takauji and others. It will be that.
Battle of Aonogahara
It is said that Yorien was particularly famous for the Battle of Aonogahara . is.
Because the other party is Kitabatake Akiie .. Kitabatake Akiie is a person who has achieved considerable military service while being a lord (and a teenager at the time when he was active).
In 16 days, it traveled 600km, which is longer than "Chugoku Ogai", which is said to have traveled a distance of about 200km in 10 days by Hideyoshi Toyotomi, who is famous as a forced march in the history of Japan. It was Kitabatake Akiie who led the army (which is far from anywhere because it is a country). This great march is the decisive blow to hunt down Ashikaga Takauji to Kyushu.
It seems that Mr. Kitabatake used the flag of "Furinkazan", which was taken from the military method of the grandson of "Soldiers respect my speed", almost 100 years before Shingen Takeda (super light! Japan). Rather than learning history by a charismatic instructor, it is recommended for those who want to know Japanese history loosely because it is studded with various anecdotes and can be read without getting tired. By the way, the story of Furinkazan is "I do not understand the credibility. The proviso is written).
From 1337 to 1338, this Kitabatake Akiie led Oshu-based confidant Munehiro Yuki and Yukio Date in an attempt to pursue Mr. Ashikaga Takauji in response to the convocation of Emperor Go-Daigo. increase. If you drop Kamakura, which is protected by Takauji's firstborn, Yoshiakira, and head west on the Tokaido ...
There was Mino on that path. It is said that the number of troops led by Kitabatake Akiie is 500,000 horses (although there is an exaggeration, there is no doubt that it was quite a number because the remnants of Mr. Hojo of the former shogunate had joined).
Takauji Ashikaga is responding to Yoshisada Nitta after that time. Speaking of Nitta Yoshisada, along with Kusunoki Masashige, he is famous as a military commander who was in the Emperor Go-Daigo. In addition to being quite cautious, Takauji seems to have been unable to cope with the march speed of the Kitabatake Akiie as usual.
Allies other than Yorien say, "Wait for getting tired" because the other party is too big.
In this way, Toki Yorien will compete with the Kitabatake Akiie.
Kitabatake Akiie may not have directed all his troops to Yorien, and his troops may have fallen, but Yorien must still be at a disadvantage. At that time, the troops led by Yorien were only 1000 horses, even though they were fine soldiers.
Yorien and his friends fought a lot, but if there was an overwhelming difference in the number of troops, the inferiority could not be overturned. Allies were scattered, almost injured or missing ... In the end, Ashikaga's Yorien was defeated as a result of violently attacking him so that he was temporarily missing.
During this time, Noriaki Uesugi of Ashikaga regained Kamakura, which was temporarily dropped by Kitahata. Mr. Taka joined Ashikaga, who is based in Mino, and Norikuni Imagawa in Totomi, and Mitsuyoshi Kira in Mikawa, and tried to pinch and shoot Kitabatake, but Kitabatake Akiie changed direction. I will give up entering Kyo via Omi. It seems that the long-distance forced march + the battle between Kamakura and Mino echoed.
In this way, I lost the battle of Aonogahara, but because I was able to exchange the speculation of Kitabatake, the fame of Yorien increased at once.
Yorien succeeds his father and becomes the guardian of Mino
Yorisada's firstborn has already died, so Yorisada was chosen as the successor to Yorisada.
In addition to his great success about two years ago, he has made numerous achievements and will raise the name of the samurai corps that supports the Muromachi Shogunate army.
It looked like a smooth sail, but there was a bit of a disappointment in terms of personality. As some of you may have noticed, he is very easy to get on with . He was the one. There are quite a few stories that he was wearing an unmanned behavior. This well-behaved personality drives us into an irreparable situation.
The incident caused by Toki Yorien
The irreparable incident that Toki Yorien did came across the line of Battari Kogonin in 1342 on the way back from Toki Yorien's Kasagake (shooting an arrow while riding a horse with a guy like Yabusame). It starts with that.
Yukiharu Nikaido, who went out to Kasagake with him, immediately built and disembarked when he was in the line of Kogonin, but Yorien was drunk and kicked down the ox cart of the institute and shot with a bow and arrow. is.
The center of politics at that time was Ashikaga Tadayoshi. Naoyoshi is very angry at the actions of Yorien.
Naturally, it was a sham and a wolf that was about to break the house, but there are a lot of people who are hesitant because of their achievements so far. In the end, it was not a severance of the house, but was judged and beheaded as a sin only for the person himself.
By the way, Naoyoshi prohibits Basara in the basic policy of the Muromachi Shogunate, "Kenmu Shikimoku". Since it is an outrage that completely denies the legitimacy of the Muromachi Shogunate and the legitimacy of his brother Takauji, there is a story that he thought that the punishment for his paternal, maternal and wife's tribes was appropriate for his actions.
It seems that the fact that he was only beheaded despite considering the disposition up to that point is not only the incompleteness of the martial arts so far, but also the circumstance that must be removed due to the continuation of the war at that time. Despite all this incident, the punishment was finally given three months after the incident ...
Anyway, it's not good to overdo everything.
