1467 , If you go with the puns "Human world is empty and Onin War" Is super famous.
However, what kind of disorder is Onin's disorder because the name comes first? Isn't it?
That's right. The content doesn't come with the name. I'm just getting ahead of my name. I put the contents and eat it.
So, this time, the content of Onin War that lasted for 11 years Let's introduce about.
It was bigger than the battle of Sekigahara, the division of the world !?
Speaking of the battle that divides the world, everyone "Battle of Sekigahara" I will answer.
However, the scale of the Onin War was larger than that of the battle of the world division. ..
The Battle of Sekigahara is only one day It ended with. To be exact, about 6 hours is.
In comparison, the Onin War has been 11 years . is. The town of Kyoto is in a state of destruction. Just "Human world empty" ….
I thought it was a pun, but it's quite good.
In the last 11 years, the Muromachi Shogunate has been declining steadily, and the daimyo of each region have begun to take power.
The Onin War triggered the "Sengoku period" It is also said.
Oda Nobunaga Sanya Shingen Takeda , Kenshin Uesugi , Ieyasu Tokugawa We are entering an era when super celebrities such as Mr. You're not rampaging.
Why did the Onin War occur?
Simply put, "Fight for the reign of the shogunate" is.
Ashikaga Shogunate 8th Shogun ・ Ashikaga Yoshimasa Mr. Miss. You are the one who built Ginkakuji.
However, this person, a person who escapes to hobbies such as tea because of politics.
But he is also a poor person.
My wife is a demon bride, and her aides are all people who do politics without permission over the shogun.
In fact, Yoshimasa was also motivated. However, I'm sure you don't like it anymore. He is not happy just because he is a general.
And Yoshimasa is 29 years old At that time, quit the shogun and retire I couldn't help it because I wanted to.
However, Mr. Yoshimasa had no heir. So Yoshimasa thinks.
"Let's bring back his real younger brother who was in the Buddhist gate!" When.
Younger brother, "No, big brother! I'm still young, so this successor will be born!"
Yoshimasa who wants to retire, "No, I can't do it anymore. Even if this successor is born, the general will always be you, so I'll ask!"
As a result, my younger brother reluctantly runs for the shogun!
But here the worst happened.
The next year, a successor was born That's right.
Of course, you want to take over your own child as well as the demon bride.
In addition to the shogunate, Mr. Hatakeyama, who was the highest rank in the shogunate, is also in the same fight for the family.
The problem of the family reign was a daily occurrence. Everyone wants to be number one, not just one.
Then, the leading daimyo of the Ashikaga Shogunate, Katsumoto Hosokawa And Yamana Sozen Japan will be divided into "East Army vs. West Army" and will fight for 11 years.
The reason why the Onin War is called "house turmoil" is not it. It's an annoying story.
What has been going on for 11 years?
May 1467, The Onin War begins!
Shogun Yoshimasa Ashikaga "Reconcile!" from an early stage But no one heard.
Soldiers from all over Japan gather and Kyoto begins to burn.
There was a battle somewhere in the town of Kyoto, and the enemy set fire before the enemy escaped, and it was already in a state of hell.
In the end, Yoshimasa-san, his younger brother was priestly retired I will let you.
And the enemy, the Western Army, makes his younger brother a new general! I will welcome you. The enemy and allies are already in a mess.
The battle began to occur in the home countries of each daimyo who participated in the battle in Kyoto, and the whole of Japan became a battlefield.
6 years later , A pandemic Yamana Sozen and Hosokawa Katsumoto died of illness one after another I will do it.
Maybe Yamana assassinated Mr. Katsumoto because the deaths of the two were so close. It is also said to be.
After that, the children of Sozen and Katsumoto reconciled and became the East Army, but "East Army vs. West Army" was not over yet. The skirmishes continued endlessly. You just lost track of when you stopped.
Despite the suffering of such people, Shogun Yoshimasa was drowning in a banquet, and the demon wife was also hungry by lending money to both the East and West forces. This couple is really! !!
Around 10 years From then on, the movement of peace began to occur, and the lords of the Western Army returned to Japan and were virtually dismantled.
Despite hundreds of thousands of soldiers fighting in Kyo, the main general was not killed in action, and no one was accused after the war.
In the Battle of Sekigahara, the loser was confiscated, killed, and exiled.
Why did the parties also happen? Why are you fighting? The Onin War ended in 11 years ..
Summary
After the Onin War, the shogunate recovered with financial reconstruction, but Yoshimasa did not devote himself to the relief of the people, but spent money on Higashiyama culture and hobbies such as Ginkakuji.
If Yoshimasa did not become a shogun, the Onin War would not have occurred, and the Warring States period would not have come.
After this, Mr. Oda Nobunaga will be born, so I feel that the future when the Ashikaga Shogunate will be defeated will not change, but Tenkajin Oda Nobunaga is born I feel like I was doing it.
The history of Japan may have changed ..
That was a meaningless conflict with the Onin War.
Many important historical materials have disappeared due to the fire. Yoshimasa! !!
