"Heiji Rebellion" Taira no Kiyomori Genji, who was defeated by the Heike army led by Mr., tried to fall to the eastern country, but everyone died along the way.
Minamoto no Yoritomo who later destroyed the Taira clan and became the first shogun of the Kamakura Shogunate. However, at this time, he was still young, was caught by Mr. Taira, and was swept away by Izu, forcing him to live as a wanderer for 20 years.
How did the younger brothers, who were younger than Yoritomo, spend their time in Genji's decline this time?
And what happened to the brothers who completed the Taira clan's revenge?
I will introduce this.
Yoritomo and his mother, 4th son, Minamoto no Yoshikado!
1148 , Yura Gozen of the same mother in the same room the year after the birth of Minamoto no Yoritomo I was born as a child of Mr.
During the Heiji rebellion, Miyauchi 丞 However, since then, there is no record of his life, and he was 12 years old when the Genji army was defeated in the Heiji rebellion. Killed in action at youth It is suspected that he has done so.
In fact, there is a theory that his mother was also different.
Minamoto no Mareyoshi, the 5th man who was exiled like his brother and followed the opposite fate!
1152 Born as a child of Seishitsu Yura Gozen. Yoritomo is a younger brother under the age of five.
Around 8 years old , Genji was defeated in the "Heiji Rebellion", his father and brothers died, and when his brother, Yoritomo, was exiled to Izu, Kiyoshi was also exiled to Tosa (currently Kochi Prefecture).
20 years later, 1180 , "Taira clan follow-up" to Genji When his life goes down, his brother Yoritomo raises troops in Kamakura.
Heike "Kiyoshi revenge" for Mr. Noriyoshi who was afraid to respond to this. I went.
Rinyujojin , the teacher of Mr. Nozomi who has been beaten up When he delivered Mr. Nozomi's hair to Mr. Yoritomo in Kamakura,
"It's as if the late Nozomi has visited ..."
Mr. Yoritomo said he was grateful.
There is also a theory that Mr. Noriyoshi, apart from Mr. Yoritomo in Kamakura, expanded his own anti-Taira clan.
Another key player in the "Taira clan's destruction"! Minamoto no Nori (from Minamoto no Nori), the 6th man who was exiled to buy Yoritomo's anger!
Around 1153 It is thought that it was born in Japan, and it is said that it was raised secretly without being confirmed to exist during the Heiji rebellion.
His mother is Totomi (Currently Shizuoka Prefecture) It is said to be a prostitute in Ikeda-juku, but instead, her father, Minamoto no Yoshitomo There is also a theory that he married the daughter of an influential person in order to establish a relationship with Ikeda-juku, which was the cornerstone of transportation connecting east and west.
1180 , Noriyori's name has not yet been confirmed when his brother, Yoritomo, raised his troops.
1183 , His father, Yoshitomo's younger brother Shida (Source) Yoshihiro When he invades Kamakura, his name will be confirmed in historical materials for the first time as a reinforcement.
From this, my youngest brother, Minamoto no Yoshitsune Kiso (Source) Yoshinaka It will be a key player in the follow-up of Mr. Taira and the destruction of Mr. Taira.
Mr. Noriyori was very loyal to Mr. Yoritomo, did not carry things on his own, and had an attitude of following Mr. Yoritomo's judgment. On the contrary, his younger brother Yoshitsune often acted independently without obeying orders during and after the war.
For that reason, Yoritomo and Yoshitsune later became in conflict.
Mr. Noriyori, who has participated in many battles for Mr. Yoritomo and made a successful battle, 1193 , A katakiuchi case "Mr. Yoritomo, who was involved in this incident, has died" The obituary was heard.
Yoritomo's wife, Masako Hojo Noriyori-san,
"Please rest assured that I am here!" To comfort.
However, for some reason, this statement is suspected of rebellion against Yoritomo.
Then, Noriyori was imprisoned in Izu Province and died there.
There is a theory that this event may be a conspiracy of the Hojo clan.
Conflict with Yoritomo's child? 7 man, Ano Zenjo!
1153 , Youngest brother Minamoto no Yoshitsune Tokiwa Gozen who is the same mother as Mr. I was born as a child of Mr. His childhood name is "Ima Wakamaru" ..
Around 7 years old , Because Genji was defeated in "Heiji Rebellion" Daigoji Temple I am a priest at. At this time, "Zenjo" Renamed.
1180 It is said that he secretly escaped from the temple with the recruitment of his brother, Yoritomo, and joined him as soon as possible among his brothers, crying and being pleased with his ambition.
Yoritomo's wife and Masako's sister Awa no Tsubone Married. This person was later the third shogun of the Kamakura Shogunate, Minamoto no Sanetomo She is Kun's nanny.
Mr. Taira is destroyed and the Kamakura Shogunate is born, but 1199 Yoritomo died , Firstborn Minamoto no Yoriie Became the second shogun, but everyone disliked his dictatorial approach,
"Minamoto no Sanetomo becomes a shogun!"
Was raised.
While his wife was also a nanny of Minamoto no Sanetomo and had a close relationship with the Hojo clan, Yoriie took the initiative to treat him as a rebel Hitachi Province .> I will be exiled to (currently Ibaraki Prefecture).
And it kills them there.
He is 51 years old.
Eight men, Gengien (Minamoto Gien), who participated in raising troops but lost to Mr. Taira!
1155 Born as a child of Tokiwa Gozen, his childhood name is "Otowakamaru" ..
Like his brother Zenjo, he left home at Sonjoji as a young child.
When Genji was given the life of "Taira's follow-up", he took a letter from his father, Yoshitomo "Gien" . Renamed. It's fashionable to read "Gien".
Minamoto no Yukiie , the younger brother of his father who joined Kamakura's older brother Yoritomo and was raising troops in Owari (currently Aichi Prefecture). There is a theory that he participated in the reinforcements of Mr. Yoritomo, and that he went directly to Owari without going under Mr. Yoritomo.
Either way, he died in a battle with the Taira clan here. He is 27 years old.
This uncle, Minamoto no Yukiie, is Prince Mochihito "The decree of the Taira clan's follow-up He is the one who walked around to tell Genji in each country.
Although he was the one who urged Yoritomo to rise, he later confronted him, and he tied up with his youngest brother, Yoshitsune, who was also in conflict, but he was captured and beheaded.
Genji's most famous celebrity! Ushiwakamaru, 9th son, Minamoto no Yoshitsune!
1159 Born as a child of Tokiwa Gozen, everyone knows his childhood name "Ushiwakamaru" is.
In the same year he was born, the "Heiji Rebellion" occurred, and his father, Yoshitomo, died in the defeat of Genji, and he escaped with his mother and two brothers.
The two brothers went home and became monks, and Ushiwakamaru-kun also Kurama-dera I was entrusted to, but refused to become a monk, 15 years old At that time, he dressed himself and named him "Yoshitsune" . It was made.
Everyone knows during the life of Kurama-dera, Musashibo Benkei at Gojo Ohashi You met Mr.

When he was entrusted with the expeditionary force to pursue the Taira clan with his brother Minamoto no Noriyori, he succeeded in destroying the Taira clan and became the greatest meritorious person.
However, Yoshitsune often did not obey Yoritomo's orders, and as he received the official position without Yoritomo's permission, the two gradually became in conflict.
1189 , Hiraizumi tries to fight against Kamakura, but when Hidehira dies, his firstborn Fujiwara no Yasuhira Succumbed to Yoritomo's pressure and "follow Yoshitsune's instructions!" Breaking his father's will, he attacked Yoshitsune with a 500-horse soldier self-harm I have driven it into.
