History of Asia

How did Mr. Hojo, the successive authority of the Kamakura Shogunate, seize power?

Kamakura Shogunate authority Is a important position to assist the general and govern affairs That is as I wrote in other articles. During the Minamoto no Yoritomo era, the position of authority was not so important because it was a shogun's dictatorship.

However, when Yoritomo died, his wife, Hojo Masako The Hojo administration will be established within the Kamakura Shogunate by burying his own children and grandchildren.

The reason why Masako aimed for the Hojo administration from the Genji administration is to maintain her own power, not to the Hojo Soke. As evidence, Masako is a parent Hojo Tokimasa Because even they are banished.

Aside from the introduction, Kamakura Shogunate after Yoritomo's death In Mandokoro Betto Is called authority, and the first government office Betto is Oe Hiromoto . was. There are pros and cons to making this Hiromoto the first authority, but " Mandokoro Betto If you pay attention to the position, you can understand Mr. Hojo's behavior after Yoritomo's death.

So, this time, let's see how Mr. Hojo seized power while tracing the successive authority of the Kamakura Shogunate.

First authority Hojo Tokimasa and Kamakura Shogunate established

Minamoto no Yoritomo Wife, Masako Hojo Father, Tokimasa Governed the Hojo region of Izu Province.

1180 Tokimasa himself also set out to support Minamoto no Yoritomo when Taira's pursuit approached the eastern country.

Genpei War Ended 1185 In addition, Tokimasa Hojo, who was ordered by Minamoto no Yoritomo, led a soldier to Kyo and succeeded in getting the imperial court to approve the establishment of a guardian and a priest. [ Bunji's royal license ]

1199 When Minamoto no Yoritomo died, Minamoto no Yoriie Will be the second shogun, but in order to stop the dictatorship of the shogun, [ a consensus system of 13 shukuro ] Was launched, Hojo Tokimasa Thirteen people, including the one in the shogunate, were listed as the central figures of the shogunate.

When Minamoto no Yoriie became a shogun, the dissatisfaction of the influential gokenins who had been suppressed during his tenure in Yoritomo exploded, and Samurai-dokoro Kajiwara Kagetoki was defeated ( Kajiwara Kagetoki's change . ) And 1203 Hiki who began to have power as a consort kin of the shogunate Will be destroyed, and Shogun Yoriie's own general position will be abolished and expelled. ( Hiki Yoshikazu's change )

Thus Hojo Tokimasa Exiled the influential gokenins of the shogunate and even the shogun, and espoused Yoriie's younger brother to the shogun, Oe no Hiromoto . Along with that, he was appointed to the government office, but his authority was higher than that of Hiromoto, and he had established a tyranny in the shogunate.

Hiromoto Oe and Tokimasa Hojo The first sovereignty debate seems to be pondered by whether or not he had tyrannical power.

The territory has been expanded even while the influential staff members have been kicked down in this way. A consensus system of 13 shukuro Mr. Hojo, who was a small family before, was also Miura and Hatakeyama by this time. Shigetada Hatakeyama to expand the power of Musashi Province I fought with.

Hatakeyama Shigetada's Ran Was won, but innocent Shigetada Hatakeyama / Shigeyasu His son-in-law, Ichijo Sanemasa, was murdered and his son-in-law was murdered, and his real child, Hojo Masako, Yoshitoki's sister and brother He was priestly priest and was banished from Kamakura.

  • A consensus system of 13 shukuro is established, and Tokimasa Hojo is listed.
  • Eliminate influential gokenins due to changes in Kajiwara Kagetoki and Hiki Yoshikazu
  • As a result, he was appointed to the government office and has more power than Hiromoto Oe .

Assassination of the Shogun by Hojo Yoshitoki, the second-generation authority

Hojo Tokimasa After Hatakeyama Shigetada's rebellion, his second son, Yoshitoki, expelled his father and said, " Mandokoro Betto ".

After that, he destroyed Yoshimori Wada, who was a Samurai-dokoro, and his job was " Samurai-dokoro . Also serves as. From then on, Mandokoro Betto and Samurai Betto concurrent The one who does it This position will be inherited by the Hojo Tokusou family.

Hojo Yoshitoki The biggest incident in this era was the assassination of Shogun Minamoto no Sanetomo is.

When Genji's blood died due to the assassination in the morning, Emperor Go-Toba Is Hojo Yoshitoki Subjugation Inzen Jokyu War Happened. The first battle between the samurai government and the imperial court in Japan will remain in posterity as a samurai who defeated the imperial court by force, even after the victory of Hojo Yoshitoki on the samurai government side.

On the other hand, after the defeat, Emperor Go-Toba was swept away by the Oki Islands, and after that, the shogunate went to Kyoto to watch the imperial court Rokuhara Tandai . Was established and became a major influence on the succession to the throne, and the political system led by the Shogunate was solidified.

As a result, Mr. Hojo, who had power on behalf of the shogun, will continue to have substantial control of the Kamakura Shogunate for more than 100 years.

Due to the assassination of Minamoto no Sanetomo, the fourth shogun was greeted by Yoritsune Fujiwara, and for a while Sekke Shogun Will continue.

Created the code of samurai society.

This was the samurai code "Goseibai Shikimoku" (Sadanaga Shikimoku).

This Goseibai Shikimoku Is the first samurai code in Japan, and it is almost always learned at school, so I made it with Yasutoki Hojo and 1232 . It's a good idea to remember how much it was established.

In his later years, he worked as a coordinator for famine, former aristocrats, temples and shrines, and Jito and Gokenin, and as the founder of the Hojo clan of the Kamakura Shogunate, he has left his name as the prestigious authority of this era.

However, because the former Shogun Yoritsune stayed in Kamakura and continued to assist the fifth Shogun, he made a plan to expel Yoritsune, but failed.

With all these efforts, he handed over his authority to his younger brother, Tokiyori.
