Yoshitsune Minamoto Anecdote5

Why did Yoritomo Minamoto and Yoshitsune Minamoto have to fight?

Yoshitsune drove Heike clan by a fight of Dannoura and gave big military gains.

However, why did Yoshitsune have to be subdued afterwards?

I want to explain it from the then situation.

It is thought that the reason why Yoshitsune made Yoritomo angry is two mainly.


1: Self-centered behavior by the fight of Dannoura

Yoshitsune pushed forward a fight at the time of fight of Dannoura without hearing an opinion of Kagetoki Kajiwara who was a schemer.

He drove a result, the Emperor Antoku into the suicide.

And Yoshitsune have lost three kinds of sacred treasures which could become the negotiations materials with the Imperial Court.

Furthermore, Yoshitsune punished samurais of subordinates without permission without getting permission of Yoritomo.

It is in this way written in Azumakagami that He incurred Samurai's and others other bad feeling.

Because Yoritomo was going to make the samurai family society which assumes oneself a top, it is disagreeable and comes to feel Yoshitsune behaving in a selfish way in this way.

It is the second next reason to have accelerated this.


2: Yoshitsune is that office and rank was granted by Emperor Goshirakawa after a fight of Dannoura

Yoritomo prohibited the samurai who received office and rank without one's permission from the Imperial Court from coming back to Kanto.

Because he did not yet perform opening the Edo shogunate of the Kamakura Shogunate in those days, Yoritomo was not able to give a subordinate office and rank.

In other words, it was an act to be able to shake a position of Yoritomo oneself to be given office and rank without permission of Yoritomo from the Imperial Court.

Yoritomo does not give office and rank, but the samurai who think that then the which the Imperial Court had is profit that the Imperial Court gives office and rank may come out.

For this reason, Yoritomo was prohibited to receive their permit without rank.

However, Yoshitsune breaks this and receives office and rank.

Emperor Goshirakawa is said to have given Yoshitsune an important post as the equal for fear of Yoritomo.

Yoritomo took distance out of the Imperial Court and was going to make the political circle by the samurai family.

Yoshitsune enhanced trust of the Imperial Court, and it was the menace that was serious for Yoritomo to become the popular person of samurais of the circumference.

Yoshitsune was good at war, but it is said that it was ignorant about politics.

Since it was not necessary that a war with Heike clan is over and does a war, for Yoritomo, it is thought that it is not necessary to give Yoshitsune an important post and subdued it.

Yoshitsune Minamoto Anecdote4

Battle of Ichinotani

The whole families of Genji cornered Heike clan that was an old enemy.

This story is an event in the competition between two clans battle.

Yoshitsune got a duty to hunt down and kill Heike clan with Yoritomo who was a year, the older brother who became 25 years old.

Yoshitsune helped Noriyori Minamoto which was half brother and was going to drive Heike family.

Noriyori was given 56000 soldiers then, but Yoshitsune had only the mounting a horse soldier of 70 horse men.

However, Noriyori was forced to an unexpected hard fight.

The battle of Ichinotani were fierce battles.

The fight that began at the daybreak was prolonged very much while an arrow flew in the battlefield, and a hand-to-hand fight by the mounting a horse was developed.

A voice broke out in such a case from the cliff of the rear.

Yoshitsune ran down a cliff on a horse how.

It was steep so that it was thought that it was absolutely impossible to march on in a cliff.

In fact, Yoshitsune asked local people in this way beforehand.

"Which a deer saw being below this cliff"

Yoshitsune encouraged the army of 70 horse men without flinching from the situation that he fell down if they failed in the operation of the horse even once and died.

The result was a great success!

Heike clan that had the back that they thought to be safe stolen was restless and ran away rushingly to the sea.

A large army of Noriyori launched an all-out attack there and won.

In this way, an action was light, and Yoshitsune was good at a surprise attack.
