[Toyotomi Hideyori] Wasn't it a child of Toyotomi Hideyoshi? Wasn't it dead at Osaka Castle?

Tenkajin ・ Toyotomi Hideyoshi ( Toyotomi Hideyoshi ) Toyotomi Hideyori ( Toyotomi Hideyori ) Kun.

After Hideyoshi's death, he won the battle of Sekigahara Ieyasu Tokugawa ( Tokugawa Ieyasu ) When he opened the Edo Shogunate, the relationship between the Toyotomi family and the Tokugawa family got worse and worse, and 12 years after the Edo Shogunate was opened, the last war of the Warring States period "Siege of Osaka" Will start the war.

What is the fate of Hideyori who was cornered?

Let's go.

Isn't Toyotomi Hideyori a child of Toyotomi Hideyoshi?

1593 , Toyotomi Hideyori is Toyotomi Hideyoshi 57 years old It was born at that time in Osaka Castle. His childhood name is " pick up ( " Hiroi ) ..

Hideyori's older brother is " discard ( " Sute ) .. This is "Abandoned child grows up" It is named after the superstition.

However, "discard" Hideyori "picked up" because he died at the age of three. It was named.

Meanwhile, Hideyori-kun is not a child of Hideyoshi-san ” Rumors go up.

Hideyoshi had a concubine for more than 20 people in addition to the regular room.

But no children are born ..

Concubine, 30 years old, Yodo-dono ( Yodo-dono ) Two children are born in a row between them.

Yodo-dono is Oda Nobunaga ( Oda Nobunaga ) Yodo-dono's father and brother have been killed by Hideyoshi in the past. Despite this, Hideyoshi's concubine has become a successor. It's a little strange.

Yodo-dono is "Japan's Three Great Evil Women" He is one of those who are counted as such. This is planning to take over the Toyotomi family. The truth is unknown.

“Who is Hideyori's father?” That means,

Lord Okura Bureau ( Okra today's pot ) And the child of the station is Ono Harunaga Ohno Harunaga There is a military commander named Mr. He was the one who was near Yodo-dono and Hideyori-kun until the end in the siege of Osaka.

Harunaga and Yodo-dono were raised like brothers and sisters from an early age.

It had already been rumored from that time that the father of Hideyori and Hideyori was actually this person.

Hideyori Toyotomi is getting worse with Ieyasu Tokugawa!

After the death of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Ieyasu Tokugawa Is rising.

“Battle of Sekigahara” Will start the war, but this is not Toyotomi vs Tokugawa yet, and the world is still that of the Toyotomi family. It was just an internal conflict.

Both armies "For Hideyori-sama!" Is fighting as

When Ieyasu wins, he opens the Edo Shogunate, but the Toyotomi family is still in a higher position.

Ieyasu-san isn't interested in this situation either, but the relationship with each other is getting worse and worse.

The Toyotomi family also thought that the administration would be handed over when Hideyori grew up, but Ieyasu handed over the shogunate to his own child.

This meaning will continue to be “the government will be controlled by the Tokugawa family” . It was an act that made it clear.

In addition, Ieyasu urges a press conference with Hideyori. This is “Toyotomi became a vassal of Tokugawa” It was something that made me think.

Tokugawa 2nd Shogun Tokugawa Hidetada ( Hideda ) Hideyori married his daughter and “meet his wife's uncle” Hideyori decides to have a press conference with Ieyasu.

I was finally facing Hideyori with Ieyasu, but Hideyori was height 197 cm . , Weight 161kg Ieyasu was afraid of Hideyori-kun's personality, and "The Toyotomi family must be destroyed" . It is said that he made the decision at this time.

Hideyoshi was petite, so the theory that blood is not connected adds to the truth.

Hideyori-kun 22 years old , Toyotomi vs Tokugawa "Siege of Osaka" Will break out.

Did Toyotomi Hideyori survive in the Siege of Osaka?

At Osaka Castle, ronin who lost their territory in the Battle of Sekigahara 14 years ago gathered. I will come. I hope it will be revived again.

Among them is the famous Yukimura Sanada ( Yukimura Sanada ) There was also Mr.

Thanks to Mr. Yukimura's success, "Osaka / Winter Team" Will be the victory of Toyotomi.

Mr. Yukimura will be named the strongest military commander in the Warring States period in this battle. Before that, no one knew. He is as famous as "the second son of the Sanada family".

Ieyasu "Let's reconcile" I will say.

Hideyori is "OK!" I understand that this is Ieyasu's strategy.

The condition of peace is to fill the outer moat of Osaka Castle. The castle is almost naked.

A few months later, of course, Ieyasu will attack again.

Toyotomi "Ieyasu is old, so it won't be long anymore" I was expecting it. It was sweet.

"Osaka / Summer Team" Finally, the Toyotomi family has disappeared.

Hideyori-kun and Yodo-dono both die on their own. Hideyori-kun 23 years old was.

However, there is a theory that, in fact, it survived, which is common in history.

Surviving in Satsuma (Kagoshima Prefecture), later "Shimabara Rebellion" Amakusa Shiro ( Amakusa Shiro ) There is a story that he was his father.

And Hideyori's grave also exists in Satsuma.

In recent years, excavations at Osaka Castle have found one skull and two body bones.

It is said that the skull belongs to Hideyori because of his physique and age.

Then, it is proved that the survival theory was wrong, but such a theory is also the real pleasure of history, isn't it?
