Japan is a very interesting country, although in the world, although Japan does not have a glorious history of 5,000 years like China, but Japan can also be called a country with a far-reaching history. The real historical record is the time of Emperor Tianwu, which corresponds to the time of Li Dan of Tang Ruizong of the Tang Dynasty in China.
At that time, Japan appeared in the main history of the "Ancient Chronicle", and before that, Japan was actually a primitive tribe, not a country at all, a group of wild people. Of course, Japan has been very eager for China since it was recorded, and has longed to learn China's advanced cultural technology several times, and naturally became one of the younger brothers of ancient China.
There are many small countries in a pattern of division
During the Warring States period (1467-1600 or 1615) in Japan, it was almost in China during the Ming Dynasty. At this time, Japan has already developed a lot, and the economic development of a country to a certain extent will naturally produce many contradictions. At that time, Japan was in a state of chaos, the japanese ruler, the emperor, had little prestige, and the whole of Japan was in a state of division.
Saying that it is a division and division, in fact, there is a sense of enclosure and autonomy, just imagine that the place on the island of Japan was divided into sixty-six countries at that time. What concept? Some countries are as big as a village, and there is a fight between several villages.
There is an interesting story that during the Warring States period of Japan, two countries fought a war, and spies from one of the countries found that the enemy state had a "large army" attacking, and reported to the lord of the country, saying that the enemy state had a "large army" invading. The lord of the country was very frightened, and asked how many soldiers and horses had come, and the spies answered the army of dozens of people. The lord of the country was scared to death when he heard it, such a "powerful" army of soldiers and horses, how good is this!
It can be seen that although Japan at that time was chaotic into a pot of porridge, due to the sparse number of people, it seemed like a child living in China at that time.
Heroes emerge from the sky, smiling and proud
Of course, a chaotic world will produce great masters, even in barren Japan. During the Sengoku period, Japan emerged a number of very capable figures, the most famous of which were the "Warring States Three Masters", namely Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and Tokugawa Ieyasu. These three people took turns in the Warring States period and staged a drama in which you sang and I appeared.
The Sengoku period began with the decline of the Muromachi shogunate, and in the first year of the reign of Eihito (1467), the Igōjin Rebellion broke out in Japan, and the Eastern and Western armies fought bitterly. At that time, the shogun Ashikaga Yoshimasa not only failed to stop the war in time, but also appeared that his brother Ashikaga Yoshishi stood up and robbed the shogun. Although the Onin Rebellion was eventually quelled, the prestige of the shogunate declined greatly, and the emperor was even worse off.
As a result, daimyōs throughout Japan paid little attention to the shogunate, and the successors of the Ashikaga family repeatedly raised troops to conquer the four sides to strengthen their rule, but they provoked the Great Rebellion in the Kanto Region, and Uesugi Yunobu, Oda Nobunaga, and others also rose. In 1565, the three powerful ministers Miyoshi killed Ashikaga Yoshiaki, and the Muromachi shogunate no longer had the slightest status, marking the official arrival of the Sengoku period.
You sing me out
After Ashikaga Yoshiaki's death, the daimyōs of the world fought each other and attacked each other non-stop. Powerful daimyōs recruited weak daimyōs one after another, and eventually formed the two strongest daimyōs, Takeda Shingen and Uesugi Yunobu, in the Kanto region
Dominates The Middle State
The Maori Genji forces, known as the "First Wise General of the Western Kingdom", and the Oda Nobunaga forces that formed the Owari Kingdom.
When the ordinary people can't eat, they think that as long as they can eat enough, they will never expect to have the taste of the mountains and the sea to eat; but once they can eat a full meal, they will want something more delicious. Greed is human nature, and even these "overlords" are no exception.
In 1567, Oda Nobunaga was inaugurated as a shogun based on Yoshiaki, beginning a journey to unify the island of Japan. Takeda Shingen, Uesugi Yushin, and Maorimoto were not convinced by these veteran "overlords", so they united to attack Oda Nobunaga. However, with the successive deaths of Mori Motonori, Takeda Shingen, and others, Oda Nobunaga's power grew day by day, and in 1576, Oda Nobunaga built Azuchi Castle, and the famous Azuchi Momoyama Period of japan's Sengoku period officially began. Just when everyone in the world thought that Oda Nobunaga would soon be able to unify the japanese island, Oda Nobunaga was killed by the rebellion launched by his subordinate Mitsuhide. So Japan was in chaos again.
Oda Nobunaga's old subordinate Toyotomi Hideyoshi was fighting with the Maori family at this time, and when he heard that his boss had been killed, his mind came alive. Either saying that if you want to achieve great things, you must be decisive, and Toyogi Hideyoshi directly advocates the slogan of avenging Oda Nobunaga, supports Oda Hidenobu and calls on Oda Nobunaga's old subordinates to recruit Mitsuhide. Mitsuhide was far from being a rival to Toyotomi Hideyoshi in both his mind and his ability to lead troops, and was quickly defeated by Toyotomi Hideyoshi.
Subsequently, he completely occupied the territory of Oda Nobunaga, and finally defeated the Hojo clan in 1590, achieving the "great achievement" of unifying the island of Japan. Originally, Toyotomi Hideyoshi would have been his own "emperor of the earth", but suddenly he did not want to go to war with China, wanted to divert domestic contradictions through foreign wars, and realized his daydream of annexing Daming and dominating Asia.
The result is self-evident, although the Daimyo at that time was already thinning the western mountains, but it was definitely not a japanese island that could resist fighting wars and children, and soon Toyotomi Hideyoshi was taught by Daimyo how to behave. After the death of toyotomi Hideyoshi in 1598, the island of Toyotomi,000, the Island of Toyotomi's Japan, which he had single-handedly founded, was quickly destroyed by Tokugawa Ieyasu, known as the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" of Japan.
Tokugawa Ieyasu who eats "peaches"
Tokugawa Ieyasu was the last of Japan's "Sengoku Sanjie", but Tokugawa Ieyasu became famous not much later than Oda Nobunaga and Toyotomi Hideyoshi. As early as after the Onin Rebellion, Tokugawa Ieyasu took the opportunity to occupy the territory and divide the side. He also wanted to fight for the world, but found that his opponents were too fierce, and Maori Motoneyoshi, Takeda Shingen, Uesugi Yunobu, Oda Nobunaga, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi himself could not beat them.
Therefore, Tokugawa Ieyasu chose to hide his patience, and Oda Nobunaga sold good to Oda Nobunaga when he grew up, and even in order to show his loyalty, he directly killed his wife and son without saying a word, not only to endure but also to be cruel. During the Toyotomi Hideyoshi period, Tokugawa Ieyasu relied on his constant support for money and grain, and was also reused by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, becoming the first of the five elders.
After toyotomi Hideyoshi's death, Tokugawa Ieyasu saw that the people of the world had nothing to fear, so he resolutely decided to seize the world of the Toyotomi clan, ending the Japanese Warring States rebellion at the age of more than 70 years old, and establishing the last shogunate in Japanese history, the Tokugawa shogunate.
Japan's "Sengoku Sanjie" are one of the few heroes in Japanese history, and there is a saying in Japanese history: Oda Nobunaga planted rice, Toyotomi Hideyoshi harvested the mature rice, and it was Tokugawa Ieyasu who finally ate the rice into his stomach.
This has to sigh at Tokugawa Ieyasu's ability, being able to endure is the key, of course, living a long time is also a top priority.
