Chapter 018: The Tale of the Imagawa Family
Before Imagawa Yoshimoto wants to make a big hit, let's talk about the profile and family history of the next protagonist, the dead fat man Imagawa Yoshimoto.
Imagawa Yoshimoto, known as the first bow in the East China Sea, Yutori is the meaning of samurai, so Imagawa Yoshimoto is called the first samurai in the East China Sea, this is awesome, not the general, Saito Michizo so narcissistic people also say that they are the third handsome guy in Japan, Imagawa Yoshimoto is the first, very awesome, I think around 1560 Japan is the most powerful Imagawa family, their strength should have surpassed the Hojo family of Hojo clan Yasuya and the Takeda family of Takeda Shingen at that time. And the peasant Oda family then not to mention, complete abuse!
Imagawa Yoshimoto is so awesome, he is not the following to be awesome, people have been a famous family since the time of grandfather Imagawa Yoshitada, quite a long time, at that time, what Matsudaira family, Oda family is really still farming...... Imagawa Yoshitada is the Suruga guardian daimyo before and after the Onhito Civilization Rebellion (the beginning of Japan's Warring States, which will be pulled later), and the guardian daimyo is different from those daimyo in the future, and those daimyo in the future are called Sengoku Daimyo, the difference is that these daimyo control over the territory, and the guardian daimyo is also under the control of the Ashikaga shogun of the Central Muromachi Shogunate, but the Sengoku daimyo is completely independent and only responds to the emperor in name. Imagawa Yoshitada also has a relatively powerful son, the Imagawa clan (Yoshimoto's father), it's not that Yoshitada is not awesome, it's really that he can't do anything big to protect the daimyo, but his son is a person with ideas.
Baidu Encyclopedia: Imagawa clan affinity and Hojo Sakumo, Niko sukushi (there will be a chance in the future) and others are the first batch of Warring States daimyo in Japan. The first act of modern Japanese history was opened. I saw that there was no such evaluation.
The character of the Imagawa clan can be said to be good, open the map of Japan and see, the distance from the fiefdom of the Imagawa family Suruga to the Muromachi shogunate is not long or short, it is more suitable for small actions, one day, the Imagawa clan is not happy to see a city next to it.
Fighting if you are not happy is the basic principle of the Imagawa family.
So I fought. And the city lord who was beaten was also very awesome and didn't give face to the Imagawa family, so he hid in the city and didn't come out
How do you keep your sharpness while compromising?
Answer: "Fuck me today, forget it"
That is, as the saying goes, "a good man doesn't suffer a loss in front of him", the Imagawa clan is a good man, and if you can't get in, what should you do?
Remove!
At this time, the Imagawa clan's relatives suddenly broke out, and a gold mine was discovered outside the city! Gold is a good thing. Taking good things is another principle of the Imagawa family.
So Imagawa's father took it, but as soon as he took it, the construction team actually dug up the groundwater and cut it off.
I tried to do it, but it turned out that this underground channel led to the city. There is no way, it can't be used as water to drink, and the people in the city go out of the city and surrender.
Someone asked, if this groundwater was dug up, could the city still dig a new well? There's no way, so let's take a look at the World Heritage Site of Himeji Castle and see how big it is. All I can say about this battle is amazing.
And the Imagawa clan is a very strong man with a strong expansion, that not only to the east to fight people, but also to the north, the north of the Imagawa family is the Takeda family that was still relatively weak at the time, and the governor of the Takeda family is Takeda Shingen's father Takeda Shinhu (will be pulled later), although this person is not the tiger of Kai, but it is really awesome, because he was weak He defeated the Imagawa family, which was very awesome at the time, and laid the foundation for the alliance between Takeda and Imagawa (military subdued can only break through diplomatically).
But at that time, the collapse of the Japanese social system, the frequency of wars was not as uncontrollable as in the later period, so the Imagawa clan did so few things in his life, but all of them were not key moves, digging gold mines, economic foundation, strengthening the sense of territory, and making the Imagawa family a Sengoku daimyo.
The governor of the Imagawa family after the Imagawa clan is the eldest brother of Imagawa Yoshimoto, Imagawa Shihui, this person is relatively weak, frail and sickly, and has no heirs, in 1536, Matsudaira Kiyoyasu of Mikawa (Ieyasu's grandfather) was suddenly assassinated in the army, you must know that the Imagawa family is worried about the land of Mikawa is not a day or two, although the Shihui of Yoshimoto's eldest brother is weak, but the kind of ** who wants to fight is very strong, as soon as he hears that the old opponent is hanging, he immediately prepares to be bare-chested, but due to the weakness of the body, it is inevitable that something will happen to the shirtless shirtless, So also hung up (another said, poisoned). This is not good, it is troublesome for the leader to die suddenly, and the leader who has no son suddenly dies, and it is even more troublesome, and the people who caused the trouble are Imagawa Yoshimoto and his second brother.
Imagawa Yoshimoto was called Mei Yue Chengfang at that time, and his second brother was called Xuan Guang Huitan, why, this is the way to tease the Japanese, in order to avoid cannibalism, all the heirs of the family governor except for the successor are monks and monks, and they can return to the vulgar under special circumstances. And the monk, naturally there is a number, in view of the fact that the Imagawa family is more awesome, I believe that the host used a lot of effort to take this number of "Mei Yue Chengfang".
In Chinese's opinion, this is, special case...... Hehe, you must know that there are many special cases. So as soon as Imagawa Shihui died, the two younger brothers were still vulgar, and Imagawa Yoshimoto is the eldest brother's own brother, and he must be more favored by the eldest brother, and this is exactly the case.
After getting the help of the big bald Taiyuan Xuezhai and the assistance of a group of powerful factions of the Imagawa family, outside the city of Junfu, the two armies fought, Imagawa Yoshimoto suddenly put his second brother down, inherited the position of the governor of the Imagawa family, I don't know if it was because of the reason for the suspension of Buddhism He did not kill his second brother, but someone wanted to slaughter it, Yiyuan's mother (a very awesome woman) and the big bald Taiyuan Xuezhai The two people combined, decided to never suffer and forced Yiyuan's second brother to death, and the woman was really ruthless. This incident is known in history as the "Hanakura Rebellion".
I don't think that a person is born very good, strong people must have gone through countless experiences, look at these governors of the Imagawa family are all standing up in iron and blood, and the stupid Imagawa clan is really a flower in a greenhouse, useless.
After several battles with the Imagawa family, the Takeda family found that it was unwise to see such a family as a goal of expansion, so they turned their back on the alliance with the Uesugi family and began to attack Shinano, while the Imagawa family, who longed for stability in the north and the east, also established an alliance with Takeda and Hojo through the diplomatic mediation of the bald head, which was known as the "Triple Alliance". From then on, the Imagawa family began to intensify their westward invasion......
Imagawa Yoshimoto is also a person who is at the forefront of fashion, although he is not as murderous as Oda Nobunaga, but he is very fond of cosplay, cosplay Kyoto's prince and grandson.
Yiyuan likes beauty, and the history is recorded: a man who paints eyebrows and dyes teeth. What is eyebrow painting and tooth dyeing, eyebrow painting is to shave off the eyebrows, paint two black circles, and dye the teeth is to paint your teeth black. The aesthetic view of a very magical hobby is beyond the comprehension of earthlings. Amazing Japanese ......
Yoshiwon loves to play football.
Yiyuan likes to have tea parties and parties.
Yiyuan likes to have a broken back, and he is ambiguous together after finding beautiful children to raise him in Junfu. For this reason, he also built a Linji Temple in Junfu, specifically to collect folk children, and the folk children are also eager to sell chrysanthemums and become the first male pet in the East China Sea...... Speechless, really speechless...... It is said that Yoshimoto's nickname is Fang Ju Maru, and it seems that this nickname is really prescient...... Fangju ...... Ha ha......
However, it is useless to discuss the quirks of a historical figure's private life, and Imagawa Yoshimoto prefers to cut people, especially to the west, preferably to the west, and to have a tea party and a party in Kyoto, and the Japanese call this act of wanting to have a tea party in Kyoto "Kamiraku", that is, the highest level of hegemony. And the first person who stood in the way of Yoshimoto's slashing was the "Oda Nobunaga" of Harmony Owari
