Even now, the 2017 Taiga drama is [ Naotora:The Lady of the Castle ] So, Naotora Ii is the theme of the drama. What attracted attention here was that the person named Naotora Ii was a woman. Immediately before the beginning of the taiga, the theory that Naotora was actually a man came out and became a hot topic, but the taiga drama progressed with a female theory and continues to this day.
You mean that you are currently waving your arms as a castle owner, right?
In history, there are quite a few famous female warlords who survived the turbulent world, not just Naotora Ii. This time, I would like to write about such a female military commander.
Tomoe Gozen, a female warrior who served Minamoto no Yoshinaka
When I hear the word "military commander", I think of the Warring States period, but the time was around the Genpei War. The female warrior of the era when the era of graceful public houses was over and changed to the era of samurai is Tomoe Gozen . .. [The Tale of the Heike] and [Genpei Jōsuiki] But Tomoe Gozen's name has been confirmed.
Tomoe Gozen is the first shogun of the Kamakura Shogunate, Minamoto no Yoritomo . Yoshinaka Kiso [Minamoto no Yoshinaka] He was also used by Yoshinaka as a military commander in the concubine (also known as the Seishitsu).
[ The Tale of the Heike ] Then, " Tomoe is fair-skinned, has long hair, and has a really good face. 』And Beauty of the Blessed On the other hand, " Strong bow spirit soldier, one thousand tsuwa no tsuwa no ] And fighting with a sword and a bow are drawn.
[ Genpei Jōsuiki ] Then, even with the same military commander, general Written as Battle of Kurikara Pass and Battle of Yokotagawara But she is active in defeating many enemy generals.
My image is very strong in the image of this child who appeared in a certain manga.
The Tale of the Heike and the story related to the Genpei War have long been popular genres such as Noh, Ukiyo-e, theatrical performances, novels, and dramas.
Lady Otsuya, a castle owner who was too beautiful and was proposed by the enemy
Oda Nobusada Daughter, Nobunaga is an aunt connection of. She is the wife of Iwamura Castle, Mino Province, and Keito Toyama.
The people involved in Oda Nobunaga are Oichi, Otsuya, and all the beautiful women.
With the death of Kageto Toyama in 1572, he tried to adopt Nobunaga's five sons as the castle owner, but since he was still young, his wife, Otsuya, would instead protect the castle as the castle owner. ..
This Iwamura Castle, Japan's Three Great Mountain Castles Honmaru was located 717 meters above sea level.
The year after Lady Otsuya became the lord of the castle, Nobutomo Akiyama, a military commander of the Takeda clan, attacked Iwamura Castle, but Iwamura Castle was solid, so he offered a consensus. The lady I met there was so beautiful that Nobutomo Akiyama applied for a consensus and proposed to him. Because Lady Otsuya responded to this proposal, she opened the castle to the enemy Takeda family, and Iwamura Castle, which was married to Nobutomo Akiyama, became the Takeda family's.
In order to recapture Iwamura Castle, which was in the hands of Takeda, Nobunaga sent out soldiers, while concluding a consensus and regaining the castle by appealing to his aunt and Otsuya's relatives.
Nobunaga will execute Nobutomo Akiyama and his subordinates, and his aunt Otsuya will also be sentenced to crucifixion. Lady Otsuya is said to have been executed while shouting Nobunaga's resentment.
Hideyoshi's concubine, Kaihime, who was said to be the beauty of Togoku Musou
" Bo Castle Oshi Castle , which was also the stage for The daughter of Narita Ujinaga, the lord of the castle, and in the concubine of Hideyoshi Toyotomi, " Togoku Musou no Bijin Kaihime was a beautiful woman who was praised. On the other hand, she said she was bright in the military and excellent in martial arts. When Hideyoshi conquered Odawara in 1590, Kaihime was siege in Oshi Castle until Odawara surrendered with 3,000 soldiers and 2,700 territories against the army of 23,000 led by Mitsunari Ishida. It is said that it was.
After the surrender of the Hojo, Kaihime moves to Fukui Castle in Aizu with her father.
However, while her father, Narita Ujinaga, is away, her vassals rebel and occupy the castle, and Kaihime's mother-in-law is murdered. When she learns about it, Kaihime defeats the soldiers who caused her rebellion and subdues her rebellious vassals. Hideyoshi, who heard the story, was deeply moved and invited Kaihime as his concubine.
It is said that Kaihime was by her side until Hideyoshi disappeared, and according to one theory, she was ordered by Yodo-dono and was Hideyori's educator. There is also a theory that says.
Naotora Ii was actually a man! As it is said, the above women also have some uncertainties, but if this is the case, they are as good as men.
The Naotora man theory was played, but the opposite is true, " actually a woman theory . There is a famous military commander.
The name is ...
That person who fought fiercely with Shingen Takeda on Kawanakajima many times ...
Kenshin Uesugi is.
Kenshin Uesugi Women's theory! ??
When you type in Uesugi Kenshin on Google, [ Uesugi Kenshin Woman ] And the keyword appears, Kenshin's female theory seems to be attracting attention.
Kenshin Uesugi was originally from the Nagao family, a vassal of the Uesugi family, and was called Keitora Nagao.
After succeeding the Nagao clan, he was adopted by his main family, Kanto Kanrei, Uesugi Norimasa, and succeeded the Uesugi clan. After that, he unified Echigo, a series of civil wars, and fought a number of fierce battles with Shingen Takeda.
Why does Kenshin have a female theory?
Uesugi Kenshin's female theory emerged because of a writer's advocacy.
According to the writer, a report to Felipe II by a person named Gonzales found in Spain states that Kenshin is a woman.
The report states that [ Kagekatsu Uesugi has a gold mine in Sado developed by his aunt . ] It seems that it is written. Kagekatsu Uesugi is a child of an older sister who has a medical examination, and Kenshin has no other siblings.
Also, by Tadaaki Matsudaira [ Current ], The cause of death of Kenshin is [ large insect ], And this is a menstrual jargon because it refers to red miso. It is said that Kenshin is a gynecological illness and a menstrual illness.
Even in the folk song of Goze song that is handed down in the Niigata region, ] And it seems that he is singing about Kenshin.
It seems that there are many criticisms because both theories lack a decisive hit.
Another reason for being said to be a woman is that Kenshin is single for life . It was. She says she had no evidence of a concubine, let alone a regular room, and even had a kosho. And she says she has a stomachache around the 10th of every month, and even during the battle, she pulls away and stays in the room. When it comes to abdominal pain that is fixed every month, I can't think of anything other than menstruation. Moreover, the menstrual cramps may have been quite heavy because they were enough to get rid of the team.
It is also said that Kenshin liked to read love stories such as Genji Monogatari and Ise Monogatari. That doesn't mean she's a woman, but she may have had a feminine taste anyway. She may be what I call a man's daughter.
Even if it is a woman, it is possible that the Uesugi clan, a foreign lord, disposes of evidence of being a woman because the female castle owner was not found in the Buke Shohatto stipulated by the Shogunate during the Edo period. There is also.
Next time, if I have a chance, Kenshin Uesugi I would like to write about as a biography.
