Minamoto no Yoritomo Is very famous "Let's make a good country Kamakura Shogunate" This is the person.
I wonder if everyone in Japan knows this phrase.
This time, I would like to introduce Mr. Minamoto no Yoritomo, the first shogun of the Kamakura Shogunate.
How was the Kamakura Shogunate born?
What is the scary marital relationship between Yoritomo and his wife?
What is the mystery of Yoritomo's cause of death?
And what is Mr. Taira's conspiracy behind the birth of the Kamakura Shogunate?
etc….
Let's go.
Profile of Minamoto no Yoritomo until the birth of the Kamakura Shogunate
1147 , Owari Province In (Aichi Prefecture), Genji's builder, Minamoto no Yoshitomo Born as a child of Mr.
Around 13 years old , Heiji Ran Will occur.
In this battle, Genji was defeated, Yoshitomo was defeated, and he moved to his vassal, but Yoshitomo was attacked while taking a bath due to the betrayal of the prize.
Mr. Yoritomo was caught by Mr. Taira when he was separated from Mr. Yoshitomo, and Mr. Taira's builder, Taira no Kiyomori Exile to Izu Will be made.
Kiyomori's stepmother helped me to get the death penalty.
Because Mr. Yoritomo was similar to his child who died at a young age. It certainly stops. It's motherhood.
20 years from this time The life of a wanderer has begun.
Hojo Tokimasa who was the watchdog of Yoritomo during this life Daughter, Masako I am married to
Around 33 , "Not a Taira clan, not a person" Mr. Taira was in his heyday.
So the emperor's son, Prince Mochihito "Taira subjugation" to Genji nationwide who are dissatisfied with Taira I gave my life. Even though I'm a child, I'm about 30 years old.
Yoritomo also stands up saying "I was waiting!".
Yoritomo's younger brother, Minamoto no Yoshitsune Also stands up. Yoshitsune is Ushiwakamaru ) from Gojo Ohashi. And Benkei It is Yoshitsune who is famous for the story of.
Around 38 , Taira's destruction due to the great success of Yoshitsune and his friends Achieved.
However, Yoshitsune received a reward from the imperial court without permission, so Yoritomo was furious, and Yoshitsune who fled to Oshu (Iwate Prefecture) was self-harming despite his bloody younger brother. I have driven it into. It goes beyond the quarrel between brothers.
And 1192 , Finally "Let's make a good country Kamakura Shogunate" Was born.
In recent years, 1185 There is a theory that the Kamakura Shogunate was born from the time of the "Taira clan's destruction".
The word "shogunate" has been used since the middle of the Edo period, so the birth date was quite ambiguous.
I don't want to change the way I remember "let's make a good country". Good puns.
What kind of person is Minamoto no Yoritomo?
Appearance is said to have been more mature and beautiful than age. He seems to have been a handsome guy.
He was about 165 cm tall and was very tall at the time.
He has the ability to bring together samurai who have no unity.
Inviting the samurai leaders to their room one by one, "You are the only one to rely on!" That was inspiring everyone. It's a pretty good guy.
680 years until the end of the Edo Shogunate, depriving the imperial court of political power , Samurai politics "Shogunate" The founder who made that. This achievement is highly evaluated.
He rarely leads his own soldiers, and often kills his relatives and siblings. "Ruthless politician" There is also an evaluation. It's a cool image, isn't it?
Around 21 , There was a woman who fell in love before she got married to Masako.
I had a boy with the woman, but the woman's father, who was afraid of being exposed to Taira, killed the girl.
In addition, her father married her daughter to another man.
Yoritomo's cool personality may be due to this event.
Is his wife Masako a little scared?
Yoritomo's wife, Masako, is a pretty demon bride I have an image.
Ashikaga Shogunate 8th Shogun, who built Ginkakuji Ashikaga Yoshimasa Wife, Tomiko Hino Toyotomi Hideyoshi who unified the world with Mr. Wife, Yodo-dono "Bad Woman" There is also an evaluation. "Bad woman" is a little unpleasant evaluation ...
After Yoritomo's death, Yoritomo's children will take over the shogun, and he will take control of politics himself. She was a woman but was in politics.
One little scary story.
While Masako was pregnant, Yoritomo was meeting another woman. It's a so-called affair ...
When Masako noticed it, she broke the woman's her house . .. Jealousy is bad, isn't it?
At that time, polygamy was commonplace to leave many offspring. Moreover, Yoritomo is a shogun. His trace is important.
It seems that Mr. Yoritomo was hiding and meeting with other women.
Yoritomo is also sorry, but Yoritomo wants to go see the women even if he gets angry. Is this cooler?
The mystery of Minamoto no Yoritomo's cause of death?
Yoritomo died at the age of 53 However, the cause is often unknown.
① Falling horse theory. This is the most famous.
② Drowning theory. I fell from the bridge and fell into the river.
③ Diabetes theory. He wanted water and had poor eyesight. Was it a complication from diabetes?
④ And the assassination theory.
Did you continue to be poisoned little by little, and was the poison affected by the fallen horses?
In fact, he died 17 days after the fall. The fall was not the direct cause.
Yoritomo's child, the second and third shoguns of the Kamakura Shogunate, also died in the assassination ..
The mastermind is Masako's father, Hojo Tokimasa . Is said to be.
The Hojo clan was originally the "Taira clan's head family."
The Taira no Kiyomori clan, who had power in Kyoto, is the "branch of the Taira clan."
It is said that Yoritomo might have sided with Yoritomo in order for the head family to have power.
That means that "Genpei War" was "Heihei Battle".
And when the Kamakura Shogunate was opened, Genji was obsolete. It's a scary story.
Summary
