In the turmoil of the Onin War, the looting of Rokkaku's mansion, which ruled Omi, was overwhelming, so the 9th Shogun Yoshihisa conquered the Rokkaku, but died in the middle of his career.
When that happens, the shogunate will again have a succession problem.
Masamoto Hosokawa Was pushing Yoshimasa Ashikaga's younger brother, Yoshizumi, but Tomiko Hino Is Yoshimi's child, Yoshitane I recommend. The former 8th Shogun Yoshimasa was also in favor of Yoshitane, so it was decided that the 10th Shogun would be Yoshitane.
Naturally, Masamoto Hosokawa, who was pushing Yoshizumi, became dissatisfied with this decision and became distrustful of Yoshimi and Tomiko Hino.
Yoshitane, who became a teenage general, inherits the policy of his predecessor and heads for the Rokkaku clan conquest again. However, the result of the battle is Rokkaku Takayori Was banished to Koka, but he will return to Kyoto in about a year without securing his personality.
Shogun's successor turmoil before the political change of Meio
1490 In addition, when the 8th Shogun Yoshimasa, who had been living in a retired life, died, the politics of Yoshimi and Yoshitane's parents and children became conspicuous. Even Tomiko Hino, who was pushing herself, came to keep a distance from Yoshitane's parents and children.
On the other hand, Masamoto Hosokawa was also dissatisfied with Yoshimi and Tomiko Hino, Sadamune Ise . Plan a coup d'etat.
Here, the dispute over the family reign of Mr. Hatakeyama, the governor, is involved.
Masamoto Hosokawa Father, Katsumoto Masanaga Hatakeyama Was inaugurated. The president asks Shogun Yoshitane to subdue his rival Hatakeyama Motoya in an attempt to unify the Hatakeyama family around himself.
The shogun, who wanted to reduce his dependence on Masamoto Hosokawa and bring in Masanaga Hatakeyama to his side, goes to Kawachi Province to avenge the Motoya Hatakeyama in a way that listens to his wishes. Many daimyo families participated in this, but Masamoto Hosokawa opposed it and refused to go out.
Mr. Hatakeyama, the same Kanrei, would self-destruct, but I thought that if the general intervened and calmed down, I would not be able to worship the world of Hosokawa. Although the results of the battle were excellent due to the direct departure of the shogun, Masamoto Hosokawa secretly provided support through the Hatakeyama Yoshitoyo on the enemy side.
By this time, Ise / Akamatsu and Tomiko Hino I was on my side, and all I had to do was carry out a coup d'etat.
Political change in Meio
This coup is Kakitsu Incident It wasn't assassinating the general as it was at that time. Instead, he protected Yoshizumi, the candidate for the shogun, and killed all of Yoshitane's backers and successors.
The record says that this coup was led by Tomiko Hino, but the truth is uncertain. Masamoto Hosokawa abolished the teenage Shogun Yoshitane on the same day, and 1 1st Shogun Yoshizumi Was supported.
The daimyo on the expedition were confused by the events in which the incumbent was in the field, but due to the conquest of Kawachi immediately after the conquest of the hexagon, the war expenses were swelling and the daimyo were in a state of zero motivation.
Under such circumstances, [ Coup d'etat, so from today, Yoshitane is not a shogun ~ ], So most of the daimyo returned to the country because it was a migratory ship, and it was decided to take up the 11th Shogun Yoshizumi side.
Only Masanaga Hatakeyama, a former shogun, remained in Yoshitane.
Due to this political change in Meiyo, the authority of the shogun fell to the point where it fell, and the power was reduced by the Onin War Shiba . Next to Mr. Hatakeyama Kanrei is monopolized by Mr. Hosokawa However, until the rise of the Miyoshi clan, he will take control of the shogunate.
The Warring States period begins due to the political change of Meio
Onin War So, I think that the power of the shogunate became the breath of insects, and it was the political change of Meiyo that stabbed it. Generally, it is said that the Warring States period, in which the whole country was divided into groups with the Onin War, began, but recently it is said that it began with the political change of Meio.
In this case, Masamoto Hosokawa succeeded in taking control of the shogunate, but Masamoto was also assassinated in the battle for the reign of the Hosokawa clan, and the power struggle over the power of the shogunate was confused. It increased.
After that, as I wrote in the previous article, Mr. Miyoshi took control, and then the experiment was transferred to Matsunaga Hisahide. Since this political change, the lower ones have politically and militarily defeated the upper ones and upset the hierarchical relationship nationwide [ Coup d'etat ] The trend will spread.
Teen Shogun Ashikaga Yoshitane
Yoshitane was dismissed due to the political change of Meio, but Yoshizumi was imprisoned after he became a shogun.
However, he succeeded in escaping with the guidance of Masanaga Hatakeyama and others, and was called "Echizen Kubo" because he went down to Etchu Province. Therefore, he relies on Mr. Echizen Asakura and aims for Joraku with Mr. Sadakage Asakura and Mr. Hatakeyama, but the defeat continues.
Eventually, I will rely on Mr. Ouchi of Suo to return to the general, but let's write it at another time.
