History of Asia

Was Oda Nobuyuki (Nobuyuki) better than his brother Nobunaga? ??

Nobunaga Oda Until he unified Owari, it was his relatives, not other daimyo, who were the big enemies. In fact, he was betrayed by his relatives many times after he succeeded to his family, and it took 13 years to get Owari in his hands.

The most troublesome betrayal of his relatives was his younger brother Oda Nobuyuki . It is a family dispute with.

I think that it is a factor that makes Nobunaga's image cold because he is a brother who shared the same blood and got his real younger brother, but was Nobunaga unilaterally bad?

Even if Kirin comes, I would like to follow his life this time when Oda Nobuyuki appeared after the return butterfly married the Oda clan.

Nobuyuki begins to appear in historical materials around the age of 14

Nobuyuki Oda was born as Nobunaga's younger brother to his father, Nobuhide, and Dota Gozen.

1536 It is said that he was born and is two below Nobunaga. Another younger brother, Hidetaka, 1541 Given that he was born, 1535-1540 It is believed that there is no doubt among them.

As Nobunaga's bloodline, I think that he has abundant historical materials, and there are not many records of his childhood, and he will be on the stage of history at the age of 14 around 1549.

At that time, Nobuhide was the residence of the castle, Suemori Castle . I lived with my parents.

1551 Issued a document with a flower stamp issued by the samurai to the Atsuta Jinguji lord under the name of Nobuyuki Oda, which is said to have been his first official work.

For a while after this, he will be involved in the final governance in the form of taking over Nobuhide's work.

Nobunaga dies while the relationship between Nobunaga and Nobuyuki remains ambiguous

At this time, his firstborn, Nobunaga, was Nago Yashiro . Was taken over and was half independent.

On the other hand, Oda Nobuyuki Lives in the same Suemori Castle as Nobuyuki and takes over the work, so even among the vassals, " The head of the Oda clan will eventually become Nobuyuki . " The Oda clan will not be inherited in that Utsuke It seems that it was the air that said.

In such a situation, Oda Nobuhide Will die without being clear about what to do with Nobuyuki, even though his firstborn is Nobunaga.

There is a famous episode in which Nobunaga came to the funeral of his father, Nobuhide, dressed like a rough man and took a violent attitude of throwing incense at his father's mortuary tablet. As a result, the disparity in reputation between the two became wider throughout the Oda family.

After the death of his father, Nobuhide, Suemori Castle Nobuyuki ruled as it was, Katsuie Shibata The elders who accompanied him continued to serve. Nobunaga is also a shukuro, Hayashi Hidesada It can be said that there was no difference between the siblings in terms of the case of the elders.

However, at this point, Hayashi Hidesada Was a Nobuyuki sect, so it may have been a disadvantage for Nobunaga. The disturbing air remains July 1553 Until then, there was no obvious conflict between the two.

A dispute with Nobunaga Oda broke out

However, in October, Nobuyuki and Nobunaga began issuing hammotsu separately, and [ economic war 】It began. At this stage, the Oda Clan Masatada, who is weak in terms of family character and terrain, has the only source of power [ money . ] Then, the conflict over it began between the brothers.

1553 Speaking of which, Nobunaga's grandfather Hirate Masahide Suicide, Nobunaga and Dosan Saito It is also the year when we had the first meeting. At the meeting, " Dosan acknowledged Nobunaga It became a big threat to Nobuyuki.

Meanwhile, Nobuhide's younger brother, Nobumitsu, 1554 When he died in an accident, Oda Nobunaga's reign of the family is narrowed down to Nobuyuki and Nobunaga It will be.

Nobuyuki and Nobunaga's reign of the family

As the official successor to the Oda clan, Nobuyuki first carries out an image strategy.

I often used it in the Oda clan of Kiyoshu, who was a monarch. [ Tachi Use the character [ Achievement ] And the same as his father [ Masatada Dan ] The official position also begins to give its name.

On the other hand, Nobunaga is Nakoya Castle . Shiba Yoshikane Owari Guardian Enclosure to hold.

In the first jab, Nobunaga, who was a guardian, took a step forward . It became a shape.

At this point, Nobunaga, who carried a strong portable shrine rather than a guardian, would be more advantageous.

For the relationship between the guardianship of Owari and the guardianship at that time, please refer to the previous article.

Difference in correspondence between the death of his younger brother Hidetaka

The difference between Nobuyuki and Nobunaga is the response to the death of his younger brother Hidetaka Also appeared.

1555 Hidetaka Oda Was killed by his uncle Shinji's vassal. This incident was an unfortunate accident in which he was accidentally killed, but when he heard this, Nobuyuki was extremely high and burned down Shinji's castle, Moriyama Castle.

On the other hand, Nobunaga is

[ A person who might be my younger brother went out alone without knowing his identity, so it can't be helped if an accident occurs ]

He said, calmly judge about this incident. It seems that he was doing it.





A plan to betray Nobunaga in line with the disturbing movements of Yoshitatsu Saito

A big incident happened to Nobunaga in April 1556.

Dosan Saito, who was Nobunaga's father-in-law and his greatest collaborator, was killed in the Battle of Nagara River. Yoshitatsu, who defeated Dosan, approached Mr. Oda Iwakura, a half-guardian of Owari Kamisho-gun, and began to move to hunt down Nobunaga.

In line with this, Nobuyuki rebelled against Nobunaga in August and Battle of Ino . Begins.

Katsuie Shibata and Misaku Hayashi Nobuyuki's senior vassals were also in the field, but the result was Nobunaga's overwhelming victory and Hayashi Misaku was killed in action and lost completely. Nobunaga tried to bring him to the siege battle against Nobunaga who attacked Suemori Castle with the momentum of victory, but Nobuyuki apologized and was pardoned with Shibata Katsuie and Hayashi Hidesada through the mediation of his mother, Dota Gozen.

After the defeat of the Battle of Ino, [ Masatada Dan ] Is no longer self-proclaimed, but the hostile color against Nobunaga has not disappeared, and disturbing movements such as the issuance of his own hammotsu and contact with Yoshitatsu Saito continue.

Further March 1558 , Nobuyuki started the construction of Ryusenji Castle. It is said that this was a preparation for Suruga's Imakawa and Nobunaga, but Nobunaga could not ignore it because there was a danger of coordinating hostile forces.

Around this time, Nobuyuki was Katsuie Shibata because he loved his male opponent and began to despise other vassals. Their senior vassals were changing to Nobunaga It has been with. Nobuyuki had no chance to win when he was abandoned, neglecting the serious and serious Shibata Katsuie.

The end of Nobuyuki Oda

Nobunaga's overthrow Nobunaga never disappears, and this time, Iwakura Castle's Oda Nobuyuki leads to a rebellion I planned.

However, Nobunaga, who knew the situation by the secret notice of Nobuyuki's chief retainer, Shibata Katsuie, took a step.

Nobunaga pretended to be a false illness and invited Nobuyuki to Kiyosu Castle to kill him.

At that time, Nobuyuki Oda was 22 years old ...

After that, Nobunaga dramatically expanded his power and succeeded in overthrowing the Oda clan, the guardian, in just a few months. became.

Nobuyuki Oda's child, Bomaru, was trusted as Nobuzumi Tsuda in the Oda clan, and was active as a magistrate with Nagahide Niwa when the Azuchi Castle was built. He was even entrusted with the defense of Osaka Castle when he attacked Shikoku, but because he had the daughter of Akechi Mitsuhide in the main room, he was suspected of rebellion after the Honnoji Incident and was defeated by Nobunaga's third son, Nobutaka. I have.
