[Is it true or false? ] Akechi Mitsuhide's many grudges explode due to the strangeness of Honnoji! !!

1582 In June, Oda Nobunaga was just around the corner. ( Oda Nobunaga ) Is a vassal, Akechi Mitsuhide ( Akechimitsu Hide ) Suicide due to his rebellion.

Everyone knows, "Honnoji Incident" is not it.

However, as everyone knows, it's an event in which no one knows the motive of Akechi Mitsuhide.

On the contrary, there are too many motives, and the grudge theory that accumulates is influential.

Now Toyotomi Hideyoshi ( Toyotomi Hideyoshi ) Sanya Ieyasu Tokugawa ( Tokugawa Ieyasu ) There is also a mastermind theory such as Mr.

So, this time, I would like to introduce what happened between Mr. Nobunaga Oda and Mr. Akechi Mitsuhide.

It may be an anecdote because there are many historical materials written in the Edo period.

Did Nobunaga hit you in front of everyone?

Sengoku warlord Takeda Shingen ( Takeda Shingen ) "Koushu Conquest" that destroyed Mr. Takeda after his death ..

Nobunaga and his colleagues Hokkeji ( ) in Suwa (Nagano Prefecture) Atka mackerel ) We called on many military commanders who participated in the subjugation and gave a prize for commendation.

At that seat, Mitsuhide "It was worth the effort we had" He said a celebration including relief.

However, Nobunaga was furious at the remark!

"What did you do for you!"

Before the famous warlords lined up, he was humiliated by hitting, kicking, and even holding his head down on the balustrade.

This story is a scene often seen on TV.

It is said that the resentment at this time will lead to the strangeness of Honnoji Temple.

Why did you get so angry in front of everyone?

Ieyasu's entertainment role has been dismissed!

Ieyasu Tokugawa Mr. Suruga Province ( due to the military service of "Koushu Conquest" Sugakuni ) (Currently Shizuoka) was given by Mr. Nobunaga.

Mr. Ieyasu is visiting Nobunaga's castle, Azuchi Castle, including thanks for that.

Therefore, it was Mitsuhide who was entrusted with the entertainment role of Ieyasu . was.

Mr. Mitsuhide, who was entrusted with the important role, was very enthusiastic and prepared it from the menu, but Mr. Nobunaga who came to see the situation "This fish is rotten! Mai " I was dismissed from his entertainment role.

Again, Mitsuhide was embarrassed by Nobunaga.

The menu at this time is " Gunsho Ruijū ( " Zokugunshoruiju ) It seems that it is listed in the book.

Certainly during the rainy season, it is said that it was impossible to carry seafood to Azuchi Castle inland without rotting it.

Conversely, "fish are rotten" Because "Put poison!" In that sense, there is a theory that Mr. Mitsuhide got angry with Mr. Nobunaga because he did not obey it.

Change country to enemy territory?

Mitsuhide, who was dismissed from the entertainment role of Ieyasu Tokugawa, was attacking Mouri in the Chugoku region Hashiba ( Hashiba ) Hideyoshi (Later Toyotomi Hideyoshi) is ordered to leave as a reinforcement.

At that time, " Omi country ( " Ouminokuni ) Shiga group (currently Shiga) and Tanba province ( Tamba no Kuni ) (Currently in Kyoto, northeast of Hyogo, north of Osaka). Instead, we will give China two countries, Izumo and Iwami. " It is said that.

However, these two countries are still the territories of the enemy Mori clan, and it meant that they could be made into territories as much as they attacked.

It is said that this story was not credible and was not true.

Even if it was true, it wasn't unreasonable because it was said that the number of territories would increase.

Did you sing a song that hints at the world?

Before the Mori attack, Mitsuhide was Atago ( in Kyoto. Atago ) We will hold a Renga party at the shrine.

Mitsuhide's phrase at this time "When is it raining now? May?"

The meaning of this phrase is Toki ( When ) Mitsuhide's own "time", the rain will "heal", and May is the month when the battle to defeat the Taira clan took place. But it's time to rule the world. " It is interpreted as.

And the phrase read after this "Mt. Matsuyama in the garden"

Masaru Mizukami is used to mean "Genji is superior", garden is used to mean "royal court", and Matsuyama means "expecting".

There is a view that this is just a pry, but it's a little interesting, isn't it?

Mitsuhide's mother is a crucifixion! ??

About 3 years before the Honnoji Incident , Mitsuhide, who was entrusted with the settlement of Tanba Province, is Tamba Yagami ( Yagami ) Castle owner, Hideharu Hatano ( Hatano Hiharu ) I am facing fierce resistance from my brothers.

Instead of promising the life of the Hatano family, he took Mitsuhide's mother as a hostage and led him to surrender, and safely settled Tanba and even Tango (now Kyoto Kita).

Nobunaga praised Mitsuhide's achievements, and he was assigned to the position of "Kinki government territory" by increasing the number of territories and assigning Kinki daimyo to Mitsuhide's vassals.

However, when the Hatano brothers and their vassals, who had been promised their lives, were sent to Nobunaga Azuchi, they were crucifixed.

Knowing this, the vassals of Yagami Castle were furious at the fact that their promise was broken and killed Mitsuhide's mother as a crucifixion.

It is believed that the resentment of this is the motive of the Honnoji Incident.

This story seems to have been further adapted from books written in the Edo period. A myth to make Mitsuhide's resentment bigger.

In fact, it is said that the fact is that Yagami Castle was dropped by a siege for more than a year, and the Hatano brothers were also crucifixed with the idea.

A sword is stuck in the throat and forced to drink?

At the liquor party, when Mitsuhide tried to leave silently for a small business,

"How are you going?" There was an incident in which Nobunaga, who was drunk, had a spear stuck to his neck.

Furthermore, Mitsuhide, who couldn't drink, was forced to drink sake in a large sake cup.

"Would you like to drink this white blade or drink alcohol?" Once again, Wakizashi was struck against my mouth.

However, it seems that Nobunaga himself did not drink alcohol, and there was no story of getting drunk and getting involved.

A vassal battle?

Mitsuhide's vassal Saito Toshimitsu ( Saito Toshimitsu ) There was a person named Mr.

Edo Shogunate 3rd Shogun Iemitsu Tokugawa ( Tokugawa Iemitsu ) Lady Kasuga famous for her nanny ( Kasuga no Tsubone ) Is my father.

Toshimitsu was originally Inaba Yoshimichi ( Inabaitetsu ) It was a vassal of the person named Sa.

Mitsuhide pulled out Toshimitsu, who had been quarreling with Ichitetsu, with a high salary.

In response, Mr. Ichitetsu appealed to Mr. Nobunaga to return Mr. Toshimitsu.

Mitsuhide said, "I don't think it's glorious to be given a territory of 300,000 stones. Rather than that, seeking a good vassal is all for Nobunaga. ”

However, Nobunaga was furious at this, and Mitsuhide's mage ( Mage ) He grabbed and dragged it around.

Looking at this alone, I feel that only Mitsuhide is a good person ...

To burn down the temple!

After conquering Koshu, Erinji ( Erinji ) The temple refused to hand over the person on the Takeda side who had fled to (Yamanashi Prefecture), so Erinji was burned down.

150 monks were killed, priest Kaisen Joki ( Kaisenjoki ) Famous for his death poem,

"If you destroy your mind, the fire will also cool" What is it?

It seems that Mitsuhide opposed this burning and was beaten by Nobunaga this time as well.

However, it was Nobunaga's eldest son, Oda Nobutada , who ordered this burning. ( Odanobu Tadashi ) It was Mr.

Summary

This time, I collected things like the usual grudges that may be the motive of Mr. Akechi Mitsuhide's Honnoji Incident.

I feel that Nobunaga didn't like all of Mitsuhide's actions.

So why did Nobunaga keep Mitsuhide on his side, and why did Mitsuhide not leave Nobunaga?

Was the motive somewhere else?

After all the existence of the mastermind!

What is certain is that both in this era and in the Edo era "Honnoji Incident" And "Relationship between the two" It means that everyone was interested in .
