Since the Warring States period is parallel to the Azuchi-Momoyama period from the end of the Muromachi period, is it only me who thinks that the flow of the Muromachi period is not good enough?
Therefore, I wrote about the flow from the establishment of the Muromachi Shogunate to its destruction, so I hope you can refer to it.
After the fall of the Kamakura Shogunate, Emperor Go-Daigo Kenmu Restoration to revive the politics of the imperial court Establish a new government called. However, this policy resulted in the dissatisfaction of the samurai, and he was a collaborator Ashikaga Takauji . The government will collapse in a few years.
Thus, Emperor Go-Daigo and Takauji Ashikaga Northern and Southern Dynasties I will go to.
The establishment of the Muromachi Shogunate and the turmoil of the Northern and Southern Dynasties
Kenmu Restoration 1336 after the collapse , Takauji Ashikaga Is Emperor Komyō Kenmu Shikimoku showing the political policy to create a new government by samurai Is issued. This Emperor Komyō The side is Northern Court side (Kyoto) It is said that this period is the actual establishment of the Muromachi Shogunate . It has been with.
On the other hand, Emperor Go-Daigo stayed in the mountains of Yoshino due to Takauji's departure. However, in this land of Yoshino, the Southern Court To establish.
This will result in about 60 years Northern and Southern Dynasties Will start.
The decline of the Southern Court and the unification of the Northern and Southern Courts
1338 On the Southern Court side, Kusunoki Masashige And Nitta Yoshisada They died one after another, and Emperor Go-Daigo Has collapsed, and the Northern Court has a military advantage.
The Northern Court was Ashikaga Takauji in the same year. Is Shogun Appointed to his younger brother Naoyoshi I will share the politics. But 1350 In addition, Takauji's Butler Kono Moronao And Naoyoshi Conflict Kannō Will occur.
Here Naoyoshi Was torn and returned to the Southern Court I will do it.
This civil war is Takauji / Naoyoshi It will continue even after death, Shogunate side VS Naoyoshi faction, Southern Court Will continue to fight for more than 10 years.
This conflict between the North and South Dynasties is also Yoshimitsu 3rd It will be put to an end in this era, and the system of the Shogunate will be established.
Muromachi Shogunate and Guardian Daimyo
3rd Shogun Yoshimitsu Ashikaga We succeeded in ending the civil war by realizing the union of the North and South Korea. So Yoshimitsu 1378 Muromachi Palace in Kyoto And start politics there.
At the same time, the guardian daimyo Toki, Yamana, Ouchi , who had been strengthening in the midst of numerous upheavals. I also tried to attack influential daimyo such as, and reduce their power.
Around this time, the structure of the Shogunate will be in place.
Kanrei ... A position that assists the shogun and controls the shogunate
Selected from Mr. Shiba, Mr. Hatakeyama, and Mr. Hosokawa
Four positions ... Positions responsible for security and criminal trials inside and outside Kyoto
Selected from Mr. Yamana, Mr. Isshiki, Mr. Akamatsu, Mr. Kyogoku, Mr. Toki, etc.
Since these daimyo were in Tokyo and performed important affairs, it was customary for their territory to be governed by the Shugodai.
Onin War and the decline of the Shogunate
Yoshimitsu Ashikaga / Yoshimochi In that era, the balance between the shogun and the guardian daimyo was maintained. However, 6th Shogun Yoshinori Then, in order to strengthen the power of the shogun, he will carry out a tyranny.
1438 , Yoshinori was rebellious against the Shogunate Ashikaga Mochiuji of Kamakura Koga Will attack and destroy. After that, the influential daimyo was also suppressed, so the guardian daimyo Mitsusuke Akamatsu Assassinates Yoshinori ( Kakitsu Incident ) Will occur.
With this event as a boundary, the authority of the shogun declined, and each influential daimyo and the shogun family began to fight for the family.
In 1467, Katsumoto Hosokawa and Sozen Yamana were caused by the overlapping of these battles for the family. Onin War begins.
I have written about the Onin War with illustrations, so please refer to it ...
After the Onin War , Masamoto Hosokawa succeeds in the abolition of the shogun and takes control of the shogunate, but the Hosokawa family also deepens the confusion in the battle for the family after the death of Masamoto.
During this period, the shogun family existed while living in the daimyo families in various places, and had no authority as the central government of the shogunate. When the daimyo embraced the shogun, the daimyo who embraced the government was repeatedly in control.
As a flow of those in control of the government ...
Ashikaga ⇒ Mr. Hosokawa ⇒ Mr. Miyoshi
It will change.
There is an article about Mr. Miyoshi about this transition of power, so if you read this, you will understand a little.
And as time goes by, Oda Nobunaga The last 15th Shogun of the Muromachi Shogunate Yoshiaki Ashikaga by Joraku Will appear.
Yoshiaki Ashikaga Became a shogun under the patronage of Nobunaga, but the way of thinking was different between Yoshiaki who wanted to revive the shogunate and Nobunaga who wanted to control the world by force. Eventually, the two were in conflict, and Yoshiaki was Shingen Takeda . And Asakura Yoshikage In response to these, Nobunaga Siege Network But Nobunaga repels this.
Nobunaga was furious at this action and exiled Yoshiaki from Kyoto in 1573 . To do.
It is generally said that the Muromachi Shogunate was destroyed by this.
The shogunate is destroyed by the expulsion of Yoshiaki in 1573 Azuchi-Momoyama era It is said to be the beginning of.
Also, what is called the Warring States period is the Onin War of 1467 . From 1590 Hideyoshi's unification of the world It refers to the period until. Some people think that the period up to Sekigahara and the end of the Siege of Osaka is the Warring States period.
Some say that the time of the destruction of the Muromachi Shogunate may be different.
The late years of Yoshiaki Ashikaga, who was a shogun even after the Honnoji Incident
Muromachi Shogunate 15th Shogun Yoshiaki Ashikaga Is Honnoji Incident It seems that he was a shogun even after Nobunaga was defeated. However, when Hideyoshi took over the world, he resigned from the shogunate.
As a result, Hideyoshi Yamashiro Koku 10,000 stones It seems that he was given the rest of his life. Even if it is 10,000 stones, it is treated as a daimyo or more because it is a former shogun. It seems that it was.
In his later years, Hideyoshi was a good talker.
