[Shimadzu Narioki] What kind of person is Shimazu Nariakira's father? Became a feudal lord for 42 years!

2018 Taiga Drama "Segodon" Then, the teenage lord of the Satsuma domain, played by Takeshi Kaga, Shimazu Narioki ( Shimazu Narioki ) Mr. Miss.

Shimazu Nariakira of his son, who is known as his later name ( Akira Shimazuna ) O Yura ( Yura ) With "Oyura Soudou" Those who also cause things to become.

He is also the lord of the Satsuma domain who has recovered from the financial difficulties, but the method is "smuggling" . Such a bad thing ...

This will lead to the shogunate being chased by the shogunate.

So this time, Satsuma's Saigo Takamori that caused the Meiji Restoration ( Saigo Utakari ) Sanya Toshimichi Okubo ( Okubo Toshimichi ) I would like to introduce the life of Shimazu Narioki, who has such a well-loved name as a child, not Mr. Shimazu Nariakira, who was loved by many people.

Even though he succeeded the family at the age of 18, his real power came to his grandfather! ??

House turmoil called "Kinshiroku Kuzure"!

November 1791 , Satsuma Domain 9th feudal lord, Shimazu Narinobu ( Shimazuna Nobu ) Born as the eldest son of.

His father, Narinobu, was a feudal lord, but his father, the 8th feudal lord, Shigehide Shimazu ( Shimazushigehide ) He was in control of him even after he retired.

He couldn't help because he was 14 years old when he succeeded the family.

Narinobu-san, around the age of 32, " Reflections on Things at Hand ( Kinshiro scraps ) Re " There was a turmoil.

Shigehide focused on martial arts, academics, medical care, and Dutch studies, giving samurai and peasant tradesmen an opportunity to educate, and even political marriage with the shogunate. He was a very active person who also worked on. His own daughter is the 11th Shogun, Ienari Tokugawa ( Tokugawa Nari ) I am going to the regular room of Mr.

"I was over 80 years old, but I looked around 60 years old. He is a very intelligent monarch." There is an evaluation.

However, he is also a considerable spender, and the clan's debt is 5 million . Now, it has swelled to 500 billion yen. The scale of the forehead is ...

His child, the 9th feudal lord, Narinobu, argued against this.

Mr. Narinobu grew up looking at his father, so his personality is exactly the opposite, " Tsurugame Question and Answer ( Tsurukamemondo ) I will distribute the document to his vassals and work on financial reform. "Avoid the luxury of the monarch and think about the lives of the people." It was something like that.

The conflict between these two people developed into a house turmoil called "Kinshiroku Kuzure", and the number of victims was 77 . It reached to.

Narinobu was forced to retire in the form of taking responsibility for the turmoil, and his child, Narioki, succeeded the family at the age of 18 and became the teenage lord of the Satsuma domain.

However, Mr. Shigehide, the grandfather of Mr. Narioki, was still in control of the clan.

The battle between the spender and the frugal is the world-renowned Toyotomi Hideyoshi ( Toyotomi Hideyoshi ) And tea master ・ Sen no Rikyu ( Sen no Rikyu ) You can also see it.

At the end, Sen no Rikyu ends up being seppuku.

This time, "Yura riot" will occur!

Fiscal reform by smuggling?

Twenty-four years after Narioki became the feudal lord, around the age of 42, when his grandfather, Shigehide, died at the age of 89, he was finally able to take charge of the feudal affairs.

Narioki is a Satsuma feudal lord, Zusho Hirosato ( Zusho Hirosato ) We will embark on financial reforms for the 5 million debts made by the heavyweight grandpa.

However, the method was to threaten the merchants to pay the debt in installments for 250 years without interest, or to secretly trade with Qing (currently China) through Ryukyu (currently Okinawa) "smuggling" That's how it was.

As a result, the debt of 5 million cars has recovered to the point where 2 million cars can be saved.

However, bad things cannot be done without getting caught ...

Edo Shogunate Rōjū ・ Abe Masahiro ( Abe Masahiro ) Mr. (played by Naohito Fujiki in "Segodon") called Mr. Tokoro to Edo and asked him about Satsuma's smuggling.

Mr. Masahiro and Mr. Shimazu Nariakira, the next head candidate, wanted to take this responsibility to Mr. Narioki and retire, but Mr. Tokoro was alone and guilty of poisoning and committing suicide . I did.

Succession battle "Yura riot"!

Within the Satsuma domain, there was a dispute over the successor.

Candidates for successors are the eldest son, Nariakira, who was born between Narioki and Seishitsu, and the fifth son, Hisamitsu Shimazu, who was born between the concubine and Yura. / strong> ( Hisamitsu Shimazu ) Mr. is.

Originally, the eldest son should have succeeded the family, but Narioki was fond of Hisamitsu.

That's because Nariakira was wise, but he had something similar to Shigehide, and it was said that he might worsen his finances again.

Shigehide loved Nariakira very much since he was alive, and both of them were interested in Dutch studies. Because there was something wrong.

Meanwhile, Yura's "curse" Suspicion emerges.

This is because Hisamitsu's children grew up safely, while Nariakira's children left only three girls and their successors were young.

At that time, it was not uncommon due to the limitations of medical care, but on the contrary, due to the low knowledge of medicine, "curse" There was also a place where I was blaming it.

Because of this, more than 50 of the Nariakira factions were exiled to seppuku, 蟄 决, and Toshima for planning to assassinate Mr. Hisamitsu, Yura, and their senior vassals.

"Oyura Soudou" It is the etymology that is said.

The end of this turmoil was at the request of Masahiro Abe, the 12th Shogun, Ieyoshi Tokugawa . ( I'm good at it ) Gave a tea set to Narioki.

This means "Retire and enjoy tea" It's a retreat notice. What a fashionable thing.

Narioki handed over the position of the feudal lord, who had worked for 42 years, to Nariakira.

Poisoned Nariakira?

Shimazu Nariakira, who became the 11th feudal lord of the Satsuma Domain, became an elder when Masahiro Abe died. Naosuke Ii ( Ii Naosuke ) And "14th Shogun Succession Problem" There was a head-on conflict.

Naosuke is Iemochi Tokugawa ( Tokugawa Mochi ) "Ansei Purge" to suppress the opposition when he is decided to be the 14th Shogun To start.

Nariakira died suddenly 7 years after becoming a feudal lord while he was planning to lead 5,000 soldiers to protest. I have done it.

Narioki-san and Hisamitsu-san's poisoning theory because of the sudden death and the death of all his successors. Was rumored.

Narioki seems to have been dissatisfied with Nariakira's confrontation with the Shogunate.

When Hisamitsu's eldest son succeeded the family, Narioki took control of the domain reforms again, and Saigo Takamori and other Nariakira factions were purged, and the domain reforms were temporarily confused.

However, the following year, he died at the age of 69, disturbing the clan.

Summary

Mr. Shigehide Shimazu, who was regarded as a great monarch and was highly evaluated, but was a considerable spender and put pressure on his finances, and Mr. Nariakira Shimazu, who was similar to it.

Mr. Shimazu Narinobu and Mr. Shimazu Narioki who worked on frugality to manage the debt used by Mr. Shigehide.

There are two pairs of extremes in thinking about which one was right.

However, the Satsuma domain will become an indispensable country in the Meiji era at the end of the Tokugawa shogunate, so everyone may have been doing the right thing.
