②上洛後の木曾義仲【Yoshinaka Kiso advancing to the capital】

合戦
合戦歴史上の人物
義仲に仕えた女武者・巴御前(ともえごぜん)一説には義仲の妾だったとも言われている。
It is said that Tomoe Gozen, a female warrior who served Yoshinaka, was a concubinage of Yoshinaka.

倶利伽羅峠の戦いで大勝利を収めた義仲は、上洛が間近に迫る上で軍勢が膨れ上がり、義仲でもわからない郎党たちを抱えることになっていました。
朝日の将軍と称される官位を得た義仲でしたが、数々の難題を解決せねばなりませんでした。

上洛後の義仲は、ここ数年続いていた飢饉の問題(養和の飢饉)を解決するために奔走しましたが、
上洛までの間に膨れ上がった軍勢が長期の遠征のためか都にて略奪行為が横行し、義仲の直接の配下ではない者たちが悪行をして都はさらに悪化の一途を辿りました。

また、天皇の皇位継承問題では、高倉上皇の皇子を推す院側と以仁王の系譜が正しいと推す義仲とで対立してしまい、義仲が都育ちをしたことがない教養のない人物と朝廷側に泥を塗られるという結果になりました。

私個人の意見としては、義仲が以仁王の令旨を得て戦い、院側の念願であった平家を都落ちさせたのにも関わらず、都合が悪くなったら恩も忘れ義仲を罵倒する院側(朝廷)が大嫌いだ。
血統主義で公家の家に生まれただけで、ろくなこともしていないのに義仲を批判する朝廷は情けないし、こんな無能な集団のために義仲を始め、多くの有能な者が命を落としたと思うと悲しくなる。

結果、後白河法皇と馬が合わず、法皇は鎌倉の源頼朝に上洛を催促します。
この意味は義仲を討ち、頼朝が都に入れという義仲にとっては到底受け入れられるものではありませんでした。そのころ、義仲も平家追討のために備中国(現在の岡山県西部)にて平家との戦いに苦戦していました。(水島の戦い)

その中で源範頼・義経の軍勢が美濃国不破関に入ったという報があり、義仲は急いで引き上げ、京都に戻り後白河法皇の身柄を拘束して自らが官軍という立場を無理やり作ります。
そして、義仲は自らを「征東大将軍」に任命させ、義経らを討つ大義名分を作りました。

宇治川の戦い【Battle of Uji River】

しかし、あまりの強硬策に義仲に味方をするものは少なく、宇治川や瀬田の戦いで敗れ、義仲一行は立て直すべく北陸へ向かったものの、近江国粟津(現在の滋賀県大津市)にて義仲四天王・今井兼平らと共に討ち取られ、31年の生涯を閉じました。

華麗なる義仲の生涯をご紹介させていただきましたが、義仲の義の精神など義仲から学ぶべきところはたくさんあると思います。

義仲寺にある義仲公のお墓【The tomb of Yoshinaka at Gichuji Temple】

江戸時代の俳諧師・松尾芭蕉も義仲の生き様に感銘を受け、遺言で「義仲の隣に自分の墓を作るようにしてほしい」と言われ、実際に大津市の義仲寺(ぎちゅうじ)の義仲のお墓の隣に葬られました。
男も惚れる義仲!本当にかっこいいですね。
何百年経っても人々の心の中にある義仲は源平合戦におけるNo.1ヒーローではないでしょうか。

Yoshinaka, who won a big victory in the battle of Kurikara Pass, was supposed to have a rogue party that Yoshinaka could not understand as the army swelled as Joraku approached.
He was Yoshinaka, who got the title of General Asahi, but he had to solve a number of difficult problems.

After Joraku, Yoshinaka struggled to solve the famine problem (Yowa famine) that had been going on for several years.
The swelling army was rampant in the city, probably because of a long-term expedition, and those who were not directly under Yoshinaka did bad things, and the city continued to worsen. rice field.

In addition, regarding the issue of succession to the throne of the emperor, there was a conflict between the institute side who recommended the prince of Emperor Takakura and Yoshinaka who suggested that the genealogy of Prince Mochihito was correct. The result was that it was smeared with mud.

In my personal opinion, Yoshinaka fought with Prince Mochihito’s decree, and despite the fact that the Heike, which was the wish of the institute, was dropped in the capital, when it became inconvenient, he forgot his favor and cursed Yoshinaka. I hate the side (the imperial court).
The imperial court criticizing Yoshinaka, who was born in a public family with pedigree, did not do anything bad, and started Yoshinaka for such an incompetent group, and many talented people died. It makes me sad when I think about it.

As a result, Emperor Go-Shirakawa and his horse did not match, and the Pope urged Minamoto no Yoritomo in Kamakura to go to Joraku.
This meaning was completely unacceptable to Yoshinaka, who defeated Yoshinaka and let Yoritomo enter the capital. At that time, Yoshinaka was also struggling to fight the Heike in Bitchū (now western Okayama Prefecture) in order to pursue the Heike. (Battle of Mizushima)

Among them, there was a report that the army of Minamoto no Nori and Yoshitsune entered the Fuwa District of Mino Province, and Yoshinaka hurriedly pulled up, and after returning to Kyoto, detained the character of Emperor Shirakawa and forcibly created himself as a government army.

I introduced you to the splendid life of Yoshinaka, but I think there are many things to learn from Yoshinaka, such as the spirit of Yoshinaka’s righteousness.
Then, Yoshinaka appointed himself as “Seito Taishogun” and created a cause for defeating Yoshitsune and others.

However, there are few people who are on the side of Yoshinaka due to too hard measures, and although they lost in the battle of Ujigawa and Seta, Yoshinaka and his group headed for Hokuriku to rebuild, but Yoshinaka Shitenno in Omi Kuni Awazu (currently Otsu City, Shiga Prefecture). ・ I was defeated with Kanehira Imai and died 31 years.

Basho Matsuo, a haiku master from the Edo period, was also impressed by Yoshinaka’s way of life, and in his will he said, “I want you to build your own grave next to Yoshinaka.” ) Was buried next to Yoshinaka.
Yoshinaka who also falls in love with a man! It’s really cool.
Yoshinaka, who has been in people’s hearts for hundreds of years, is probably the No. 1 hero in the Genpei War.
