" Chacha Asai When you ask? However, " Yodo-dono " How is it? "Azai Sisters" Then?
If you're a history lover, you've probably heard of one of these names.
Tenkajin ・ Toyotomi Hideyoshi He was very fond of him and became a concubine.
Even though it is a concubine, it is a person who pushes away the main room and goes out in front of Guigui.
"Japan's Three Great Evil Women" I've been called.
However, she is really a very woman who lived a hard life .. She is convinced that a strong personality has been created.
So this time, I would like to introduce Mr. Asai Chacha.
Let's go.
Until Asai Chacha is called Yodo-dono.
Around 1569 , Sengoku daimyo, Nagamasa Asai And Oda Nobunaga Sister, Oh city Born as the eldest daughter between.
However, because there is a difference between the age and birth of her when she died, she is considered to be a child of Oichi, and there is also a theory that Nobunaga and Nobunaga are sisters, so she is considered to be the daughter of Nobunaga and Oichi. There is also a theory.
Either way, Nobunaga's blood is drawn.
Chacha Asai and Sengoku daimyo Kyogoku Takatsugu Wife, first Mr. Tokugawa, the second shogun of Tokugawa Hidetada Wife, Jiang "Azai Sisters" It is called.
Around 5 years old The Azai and Oda clan had formed an alliance due to a political marriage between Mr. Nagamasa and Mr. Oichi, but Mr. Nobunaga broke it.
Nobunaga attacked the castle and the Azai family was destroyed ..
Father Nagamasa is suicide ..
My brother is Hideyoshi Hashiba (Later Toyotomi Hideyoshi) has been executed.
Around 15 , Nobunaga "Honnoji Incident" When he died, Nobunaga's vassal, Katsuie Shibata And his mother, Oichi, remarried To do.
However, the following year, Hideyoshi confronted Katsuie in a battle for the world.
Hideyoshi wins, Katsuie and Oichi self-harm I will do it.
After that, the three sisters went to Hideyoshi and received protection.
Indirectly, how did you feel about going to Hideyoshi, the father, brother, and mother?
Around 20 , Hideyoshi's concubine ..
In fact, Hideyoshi was interested in Oichi, who was considered to be the most beautiful woman in the Warring States period, and it is said that he welcomed Chacha, who was the most similar to Oichi among her three brothers, to her concubine.
That means that Mr. Chacha was also a pretty beautiful woman. However, as far as the portrait is concerned, she looks like her father, Nagamasa, and wasn't very beautiful. He was a big man.
Next year Will give birth to Hideyoshi's successor ..
Hideyoshi was very pleased. Because Hideyoshi had more than 20 wives but no children. Moreover, he is over 50 years old. Everyone is happy with this.
The joy is overwhelming, and as a residence for Chacha-san, "Yodo Castle" I will give you. He became a "castle owner" in his early 20s. She is also a woman. "Yodo-dono" It is the reason why it was called.
For child Hideyori!
The long-awaited successor to the Toyotomi family was born, but he died at the young age of three. Hideyoshi and Yodo-dono are very sad.
Meanwhile, around 25 years old two years later , Again boy, Hideyori Kun was born.
Hideyoshi is overjoyed again, but is he a little unnatural?
He says he hasn't had children for a long time, but he comes here and is born in a row.
There are even rumors that the father is separate.
If Yodo-dono seems to have created the successor to Hideyoshi, you can take control of the Toyotomi family. I don't know the truth.
In fact, Hideyoshi died a few years later, and Yodo-dono began to do politics instead of the young Hideyori.
It seems that she is called a "villain" because she is trying to move politics while she is a woman. The same tendency can be seen in other people who are called "villains."
After Hideyoshi's death, he won the battle of Sekigahara Ieyasu Tokugawa Yodo-dono is not worried that he will become more and more powerful and the territory of the Toyotomi clan will be reduced.
I categorically refused to meet Hideyori-kun and Ieyasu-san. This is because Toyotomi is recognized by the world as a vassal of the Tokugawa clan.
Hidetada Tokugawa and E's daughter, Senhime and Hideyori, will get married, which has been decided since Hideyoshi was alive. ..
As a result, Hideyori and Ieyasu met not because Toyotomi and Tokugawa met, but because they met his wife's grandfather.
Hideyori was very well-built and had grown up to be large, so Ieyasu couldn't control his anxiety and decided that the Toyotomi family had to be defeated.
The relationship at that time is interesting, isn't it? The enemy has a younger sister, and the ally has a younger sister's child.
The Toyotomi clan thought that the administration would eventually be returned because Tokugawa was still a vassal of Toyotomi.
However, Ieyasu handed over the second generation to Hidetada.
This means that the Tokugawa family will continue to carry out politics in the future. This is Yodo-dono's rage, isn't it?
And finally, Toyotomi vs Tokugawa's "Siege of Osaka" Has begun the war.
"Siege of Osaka Winter" Then Yukimura Sanada Big victory However, the Tokugawa army will psychologically hunt down by firing cannons at Osaka Castle.
The maids of Yodo-dono also died in front of them, and Yodo-dono lost his fighting spirit when he saw this scene.
Next year's "Osaka Summer Team" Big defeat In anticipation of this, Chihime's petition for life was not fulfilled, and Yodo-dono and Hideyori ended his life at the age of 49.
Summary
Isn't Chacha Asai's life a living life for her family?
When she was young, she witnessed the deaths of her father, mother, and brother, and became the wife of her deceased Hideyoshi, who would give birth to her successor.
However, Hideyori died while Hideyori was a child, and although she was a woman, she had to protect Hideyori and the Toyotomi family.
It was a very difficult and turbulent life.
The only salvation was that she had a close sister.
