Tokugawa Iemitsu was killed by a glass of poisonous wine!
Tokugawa Iemitsu was born in Edo Castle in the ninth year of Keicho in Japan. In the sixth year of Keicho before he was born, his mother Ae gave birth to his eldest brother Matsumaru. However, Nagamatsu died nine months after he was born, so Takeru
After Chiyo was born, he enjoyed the treatment and education of the prince. Since Takechiyo was the second son of the second-generation general Hidetada, his grandfather Ieyasu gave him the nickname "Takechiyo", which means that the newborn child will
Become a third-generation general.
Many people also continued to please Hidetada and his wife and Kunichiyo because Kunichiyo might become the third general. Takechiyo felt very dissatisfied, but had no choice. Until one time, Takechiyo attempted suicide. He had always felt that Takechiyo would
Fuku, who had been deprived of his inheritance rights, went to Sunfu Castle to tell Ieyasu the truth inside Edo Castle and the unfairness of Hidetada and his wife. After that, Ieyasu came forward and told Hidetada and his wife that they had to separate their legitimate concubines so that Iemitsu could do it.
To ensure the succession rights of the three generations of generals. It is generally believed that Takechiyo was confirmed as the successor of the general during the Yuanwa period.
In the second year of the Yuanwa period in Japan, Tokugawa Ieyasu decided that the retainers who would assist Takechiyo in the future were Sakai Tadori, Naito Seiji and Aoyama Tadoshi, and appointed more than 60 servants. In the same year, Tokugawa Ieyasu died at the age of seventy-five
Years old. Due to the death of Tokugawa Ieyasu, Takechiyo's Yuanfu ceremony was also postponed for four years. In the third year of the Japanese Yuanhe period, Takechiyo's residence moved to Nishinomaru. In the fourth year of the Japanese Yuanhe period, he welcomed the imperial envoy.
In the sixth year of his reign, Takechiyo Yuanfu, officially changed his name to Iemitsu, under the leadership of two great ministers. The name Iemitsu was chosen by Kanechiin Takaden. Originally, Iemitsu was supposed to be named after his grandfather Ieyasu's "home" and his father Hidetada's name.
He changed his name to Ie-tada, but because the name Ie-tada was the same as the name of the ancestor of the Hanashan family, he chose the name Iemitsu.
In the 9th year of Japan's Genwa era, Naito Seiji, a member of the Nenji Council, passed away, and Aoyama Tadatsuki was dismissed from his post because of his direct advice to Iemitsu. Therefore, the two vacancies were filled by Sakai Tadashi and Sakai Tadakatsu.
In June of the same year, Tokugawa Iemitsu went to Luo with his father Tokugawa Hidetada, and accepted the shogunate at Fushimi Castle. He served as a subordinate to two internal ministers, and met with the empress and sister of Emperor Gomizuo, who entered the country in the sixth year of Yuanwa.
After the father and son returned to Edo Castle, Tokugawa Iemitsu officially became the third shogun, and Hidetada lived in seclusion in Nishinomaru.
Tokugawa Iemitsu moved his residence to Honmaru. Tokugawa Hidetada, like Tokugawa Ieyasu, was called the Great Imperial Palace. The shogun and the Imperial Palace ruled together, which was called dual politics. In September, Iemitsu's fiancée, Lord Takaji Nobu
Fusa's daughter, Takako Takaji, entered Edo Castle, and in December, the two were officially married. Iemitsu was twenty years old at the time, and Takako was twenty-two years old.
In the third year of Kanei's reign, Hidetada and Iemitsu led Date Masamune and many other daimyo to Luo, met with Emperor Gomizuo and Nakamiya Kazuko in Nijo Castle, and were promoted to the rank of left minister.
Tokugawa Iemitsu was not close to his eldest brother, Tadanagi, and did not trust him. Instead, he trusted his half-brother Masayuki. After the death of his mother, Sogenin, Tadanagi became promiscuous, and his father, Hidetada, once asked him to spare his life.
However, he said that Tadaki, Tadanao, and Tadada did not end well. Later, Tadanagi committed seppuku and Tokugawa Iemitsu felt very regretful.
Tokugawa Hidetada died in the eighth year of Kanei, which abolished dual politics and began to govern politics by the shogun himself. The system of Laozhong, Wakatoshi, and Daimatsuke was established, and the current shogun of the shogunate was designated as the highest authority.
In the twelfth year of Kan'ei, the samurai laws were revised, and the feudal lords were required to attend and submit duties. They monopolized the interests of Nagasaki trade and strengthened the suppression of Catholicism. In the fourteenth year of Kan'ei, the Shimabara Rebellion was launched, and four years later, the policy of seclusion was completed.
Because of these things, the series of power policies of the Tokugawa Shogunate were considered "arbitrary politics."
In the thirteenth year of the Chongzhen reign of the Ming Dynasty, the Tiger Guards landed in Japan in large numbers and overwhelmingly defeated all Japanese resistance forces. On the second day of June in the thirteenth year of the Chongzhen reign of the Ming Dynasty, Tokugawa Iemitsu, the third generation general of the Tokugawa shogunate, became a prisoner.
The next day, Tokugawa Iemitsu died suddenly in his shogun's mansion.
Tokugawa Iemitsu ended his life that no one can truly explain.
Soon, his son and daughter also died of sudden illness, and the Tokugawa family was extinct. Although many people in history have implicitly pointed out that the annihilation of the Tokugawa family was the result of Ding Yunyi's instigation, but who
There is no evidence for either.
Even after Tokugawa Iemitsu died, Ding Yunyi held a fairly decent funeral for him.
The death of Tokugawa Iemitsu was just the beginning of Ding Yunyi's efforts to rectify Japan, and the real disaster in Japan began when Ding Yunyi, the Marquis of Warlords, appeared in the Japanese imperial palace.
Just like Tokugawa Iemitsu, Emperor Meisho also met the Ming Dynasty's Warlord Ding Yunyi for the first time.
Emperor Mingzheng seemed to have anticipated his fate, so she behaved quite calmly in front of Ding Yunyi.
"This is good, very good." Ding Yunyi seemed to be very satisfied with the other party's attitude: "The fate has been decided, and any form of resistance will be useless."
"Whatever you want, please tell me." Mingzheng seemed a little tired: "As long as it can ensure that my people are not harmed, I am willing to accept any request you have."
Ding Yunyi nodded: "I like to talk to people who are cheerful, whether they are men or women. If this is the case, then you should abdicate."
Ming Zheng remained silent there.
Abdicate? She never thought that Ding Yunyi's request to him was to abdicate!
"I'm a little tired of killing." Ding Yunyi said lightly: "I can force you to abolish your position, but that will probably cause a lot of resistance. After all, there are still a lot of people loyal to you in Japan, so I hope you take the initiative to ask for it.
Abdicate and minimize the resistance of the Japanese. As I said just now, I am a little tired of killing."
After finishing speaking, without waiting for Mingzheng to speak, he continued: "I have also thought of the reasons for abdicating for you. Failure to cultivate virtue led to the fall of Japan. At the same time, during the defense of Kyoto, he listened to Tokugawa Iemitsu's instigation.
, set fire to Kyoto and displaced innocent people. Do you think this kind of abdication would be the most honorable thing?"
Mingzheng couldn't say a word.
Is this the most honorable way to abdicate? No, this is the most shameful way to abdicate! But now the fate of himself and the whole of Japan is in the hands of this person.
"You have three days to make a decision." Ding Yunyi didn't want to talk too much nonsense with her. He stood up slowly: "I will only wait for you for three days. If you still can't make a decision in three days,
Then I can only help you make the decision."
After saying that, he strode away from here.
Mingzheng sat blankly, not knowing what to do at all.
This is a naked threat. Ever since Mingzheng can remember, I have never been threatened like this.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." Asakusa, the maid who had been with her for half her life, ran in in a panic: "Your Majesty, all the soldiers in the palace are soldiers from the Ming Dynasty. Our people have been gathered together and have lost their freedom."
"I understand, Asakusa." Mingzheng sighed and asked his loyal maid to sit down next to him: "Just now, the general Ding Yunyi of the Ming Dynasty came to see me. Do you know what he wants me to do?
?Abdend, he told me to abdicate immediately in a commanding tone."
"No!" Asakusa shouted loudly: "Your Majesty must not abdicate!"
"But what else can we do?" Mingzheng looked very helpless: "Now that Kyoto is completely in their hands, we have no way to resist them."
Asakusa gritted her teeth and said, "Yes, there must be a way. There are still many people loyal to His Majesty in Kyoto and Japan. I am willing to risk my life to escape from Kyoto and tell everyone about His Majesty's suffering."
"Don't be stupid, you can't even get out of the palace." Mingzheng sighed softly: "Even if you can really run out, where will you find someone who can save me? Everyone has failed. Japan has also failed.
Failed."
Asakusa looked at the emperor in confusion, and suddenly burst into tears.
Looking at the crying maid, Mingzheng felt that he should also cry. Japan, is Japan just over in his own hands?
Have you become a sinner in Japan?
Mingzheng just sat there silently...she was waiting. Waiting for the time limit given to her by Ding Yunyi to arrive.
Let Amaterasu decide everything...
...
"Kyoto is still quiet at the moment." Cai Jiuzhou reported the situation in Kyoto: "The fire has been brought under control, but the damage has been very huge. Almost half of Kyoto has been burned down. The Japanese people are currently conducting post-disaster rescue operations. It is estimated that it will be very long."
There won’t be any big moves for a long time!”
Ding Yunyi nodded, this was the same as what he had imagined before. The fire helped him a lot.
Without this big event, people in Kyoto would not have diverted their attention from the defeat of the war so quickly. From this point of view, we should really thank Ahu.
But you can't say this in front of Ah Hu.
"There won't be big moves now, but that doesn't mean there won't be big moves all the time," Ding Dingyunyi pondered: "Tokugawa Iemitsu is dead, the entire Tokugawa family is extinct, and we have also made up our minds to let the emperor system
It’s over, and classifying Japan as our land will inevitably arouse great resistance from the Japanese. If it is not handled properly, it may trigger a wave of resistance across Japan.”
"Then kill him!" Ah Hu said nonchalantly.
"Kill? It depends on how to kill! If we kill them all, what are we going to do with an empty Japan?" Ding Yunyi glanced dissatisfied at Ah Hu, who only used violence to solve problems: "Any form of riot will always have organizers.
. What we want to kill is this group of organizers, so the top priority is to grasp all the people in Kyoto who are loyal to the Japanese royal family and keep them under strict surveillance and control. This still depends on the people of Idarigi."
Cai Jiuzhou said: "To be honest, these Japanese traitors really helped us a lot and saved us a lot of unnecessary troubles when we were able to end the War in Japan so smoothly."
"So we must treat the Japanese equally." Ding Yunyi said with a smile: "Those who are loyal to us and willing to do things for us are our friends."
Xie Tian said at this time: "I have made a preliminary investigation and found that there are four nobles in Japan, namely Minamoto, Taira, Fujiwara, and Tachibana. These four nobles are the most prominent and the most loyal to the emperor. Minamoto, it is said that Minamoto is the
The surname comes from the story of Shizu of the Northern Wei Dynasty. Emperor Saga had too many princes and could not give them all official positions, so he separated some of them as courtiers and gave them the surname Minamoto. Later, they were Nimei, Wen, Qinghe, and Yangcheng.
, Mitsutaka, Uta, Daigo, Murakami, Reisen, Hanayama, Iichi, Gosanjo, Gosaga, etc. The so-called Japanese emperors also followed this rule. The most prosperous one was the Seiwa Genji. The Taira clan was given by Emperor Kanmu who took the name from Heian Kyo.
The princes became courtiers, and the descendants of Emperors Kanmu, Nimei, Bun, and Mitsutaka all had this surname. The most prosperous one was the Kanmuhei clan. Fujiwara was Nakatomi Kamazu, and Nakatomi Fuhe and others began to be given this surname. Later, they were divided into southern and northern
, Shiki, the four Kyo families, and many samurai families who were married to the Nakatomi family during the manor era also changed their surname to Fujiwara. The Fujiwara family has always been the mainstream of the public family. The Tachibana family was the surname given to his prince by Emperor Minda, and other
The three families were relatively small in power. During the period when the samurai family was on the rise, there was no significant development. They often had marriage relationships with the imperial family and the Fujiwara family. Relying on this factor, the Tachibana family was also able to become a minister. Later, the political struggle with the Fujiwara family failed.
, gradually declined.”
"Okay! Let's start with these four nobles!" Ding Yunyi was very satisfied with the efficiency of his subordinates: "The Japanese respect the nobles very much. Internally, the Japanese divide people into emperors, nobles, samurai, farmers and businessmen, untouchables, etc.
Class. Due to the continuous consolidation of the class ideology that the strong is king, there have been very few civilian uprisings in Japanese history, and even fewer uprisings by the poor that overthrew aristocratic rule. In the minds of the vast majority of Japanese people, the aristocrats at that time were the strong ones, and they were respected.
It is only natural. Therefore, Japan's political power has always been relatively consolidated, and the ruling class has continued to deliberately strengthen the concept of hierarchy and the consciousness of the strong for its own interests, and even deified the Imperial family and compared them to the sun god, causing the strong to ravage them.
The hierarchical concept of the weak is even more unshakable in the hearts of the Japanese. What we need to grasp is this mentality that the strong is king!"
The subordinates looked at each other and knew that by this time, Wu Liehou must have a perfect idea in his mind to deal with the Japanese problem.
"I don't want to go on a killing spree, but I won't care if someone forces me to go on a killing spree." Ding Yunyi said coldly: "From now on, all Huben guards will be on first-level alert, waiting for orders at any time to patrol the streets of Kyoto.
The sentries are doubled, thank the Golden Sword Guards of Heaven, speed up the spying on intelligence in Japan, and pay close attention to all possible developments in the palace!"
"Yes!" When this order was issued, all the Tiger Guard generals responded loudly. Piaotian Literature registered members recommend this work
