"Sakuradamon Incident" And " Ansei Purge And " Naosuke Ii San "is It's very famous for the set.
Among them, this time, "Sakuradamon Incident" I would like to introduce.
Both the perpetrator and the victim had a sad ending.
Let's go.
I will also introduce "Ansei Purge" and "Ii Naosuke" for a moment.
Why did the change outside Sakurada Gate happen?
Assistant to the Shogun, and virtually Japan's No. 2 Elder ・ Mr. Naosuke Ii.
Immediately after Naosuke took up the post of elder, he faced two problems.
① Shogun succession problem!
13th Shogun Tokugawa Iesada She was so sick that she couldn't hope for a succession.
There, two factions compete. Naosuke is sandwiched between them.
Bean knowledge here.
The first shogun, Ieyasu Tokugawa "Tokugawa Misanke " to his 9th, 10th, and 11th men. I will give you the name.
If the succession of the shogun is cut off, we will adopt from this. With this, Ieyasu's bloodline will not be interrupted. He thought.
In fact, the 8th Shogun, Tokugawa Yoshimune Is an adopted child from Ieyasu's 10th son, the Kishu Tokugawa family. From this time on, the Tokugawa family has a bloodline of the Kishu family It has become.
And this "Shogun succession problem" Is 12 years old from the Kishu Tokugawa family Iemochi Kun And Ieyasu's 11th man, 21 years old from the Mito Tokugawa family Yoshinobu Faction dispute What is it? After all, everyone wants to get a general out of their own family.
As a result, Naosuke is 12-year-old Iemochi . Select.
Sure enough, you got antipathy from the Mito Domain (Ibaraki Prefecture).
➁ Japan-US Treaty of Amity and Commerce.
Perry who came aboard the Kurofune " Convention of Kanagawa Four years later, this time Harris "We will conclude a Japan-US Treaty of Amity and Commerce!" I will say.
Mr. Perry simply "Let me use the Japanese port!" Harris just presented a treaty against Japan I have done it.
The Edo Shogunate, which was shown the military power of the United States, had no choice but to listen.
And the shogunate has signed an unequal treaty.
Moreover, without the permission of the emperor.
Japanese young people are "weak waist! Shogunate!" I get angry with that feeling.
This is what is commonly referred to as " Joi is not it. It's the one who can get rid of foreign countries. However, the incident is happening on the spot.
It seems that Naosuke signed it in the world, but in fact Naosuke "Wait for the sign until the emperor's permission!" I was always saying that.
The people of the founding sect signed it without permission. It feels like I've put all my responsibilities on Mr. Naosuke. Well, it's No2.
The Mito clan stood up with the "Shogun's succession problem", and Japanese young people were excited to defeat the Shogunate under the "Unequal Treaty".
The idea for these calming is , "Ansei Purge" That's how it was.
More than 100 people were sentenced to death or disciplined for their criticisms and actions against the Shogunate.
However, this policy is like buying a grudge, and Naosuke was attacked by the Mito Dappan Ronin at Sakurada Gate in Edo Castle two years after he took up the post of senior citizen.
This is the "Sakuradamon Incident".
I tried to put water on the fire to calm it down, but I had oiled it, Naosuke-san!
The day outside Sakuradamon!
It was snowing out of season and the area was pure white.
Time is March 3rd. This day is the Doll's Festival, and each clan's lords are celebrating at Edo Castle. We head to the castle.
The surroundings were full of spectators trying to see the Daimyo procession at a glance.
A banquet was held at Sagamiya in Shinagawa last night.
There were 17 Mito Domains and 1 Satsuma Domain . .. I swear tomorrow's success and exchange a sake cup.
All were those who had departed from the clan so as not to be inferior to the clan.
8:00 am on the day of the decision. A drum that announces the climb of the castle echoes from Edo Castle, and the lords of each clan form a daimyo procession and proceed to the castle.
9am. The gate of the Hikone clan mansion has opened. 400-500m to Sakurada Gate. The procession of Naosuke Ii was about 60 people.
"There is a suspicious person" under Naosuke I received the information.
And there was a warning on that day as well. But Naosuke wasn't upset, and he ignored it.
And the Kago with Naosuke on it. When the procession approached the outside of Sakuradamon, a man stood in front of the procession and suddenly started. Immediately after that, a single ammunition was fired at Naosuke's Kago.
With that sound as a signal, surprise attack from all directions starts Was done.
The Hikone clan rushed to a surprise attack, and because it was snowing, the sword handle bag was attached. I couldn't pull out the sword because of that. Some people resisted with their scabbards and fought with their bare hands.
The swords were thrust one after another into the Naosuke's Kago, where there was no one to protect.
Naosuke was dragged out of the Kago and decapitated.
It was only a dozen minutes.
After the Mito Dappan Ronin.
After assassinating the elder between the Mito and Satsuma domains (currently Kagoshima prefecture), he was recruited in Kyoto. There was a plan to defeat the shogunate with the permission of the emperor.
However, the Satsuma domain left this plan blank. That was not known to the Mito Domain.
The Mito Ronin who carried out the assassination of the elders "Let's all go up to Kyoto after defeating the elder Ii!" I had decided.
As for the damage of the Mito Ronin, one was killed in battle, four were injured, so they were seppuku themselves, and eight were beheaded after surrendering . ..
The survivors went to Kyo, but they couldn't reach it and were caught, and because the plan with the Satsuma Domain had collapsed, they were all lost on the road.
The Hikone Domain (currently Shiga Prefecture), which was the victim, killed 8 people. Over 10 people injured ..
What's more, two years after the incident, Naosuke Ii's escort failed and his family name was humiliated, and the survivors were punished.
It was ordered that the seriously injured were imprisoned and all the minor injured were seppuku.
From this incident, young people from all over the world started to say, " Defeat ".
Summary
Naosuke Ii has the image of an unscrupulous politician.
The truth was that the people around him were threatened by the threat of the United States and decided to open the country.
Naosuke is "I don't want to open the country" He was the one.
And both the performers and the victims of "Sakuradamon Incident" died in tragedy.
It's a sad incident, but it will lead to the world of the Meiji era seven years later, so I think it was meaningful for Japan in the future.
