105-Tokugawa Ieyasu-Sōhachi Yamaoka-Bigoraphy-1950
Barack

cuckoo does not cry, but to hear it cry, what are the alternatives? Oda Nobunaga will furiously kill it. Toyotomi Hideyoshi will try his best to induce it to call. Tokugawa Ieyasu is resistant to heart and waits for it to call on their initiative.

"Tokugawa Ieyasu", first serialized in 1950. Biography novel books. It mainly tells the story of Tokugawa Ieyasu who came to the fore in the middle and late period of the Warring States Period in Japan, ended the Warring States Period, and opened the 300-year peace and prosperity.

Yamaoka Zhuang eight was born in Japan in 1907, new diarrhea ( xì) a small county town, died in 1978. He left home at the age of 14 and started earning a living independently. During World War II, he wrote field reports, war literature, and other propaganda materials for the Japanese army. These works were highly praised by the Japanese military and won many awards. Representative works: "Oda Nobunaga", "Toyotomi Hideyoshi", "Tokugawa Ieyasu", etc.

Tokugawa Ieyasu was born in 1543 in Okazaki Castle, Mikawa Country (now Okazaki City, Aichi Prefecture), and died in 1616. After the battle with Oda Nobunaga, Oda Nobunaga formed the "Kyushu Alliance" and cooperated with the Oda Army to defeat powerful enemies many times, and continued to erode the Imagawa family's territory with the Takeda family. After the change of Honnoji Temple, he confronted Toyotomi Hideyoshi in the battle of Komaki and Nagakute and then surrendered to him due to the situation. After the Battle of Odawara, it was transferred to Kanto by Toyotomi Hideyoshi. Although it lost its long-standing base, it gained the largest territory among foreign names under the Toyotomi regime.

Served as the head of the five elders. After Toyotomi Hideyoshi's death, he led the Eastern Army to defeat the Western Army in the Sekihara Combat and determined the hegemony. In 1603, he was named the general of the shogunate and founded the shogunate in Edo. From 1614 to 1615, the Toyotomi clan was destroyed by the Osaka winter and summer battles, and the rule of the Edo Shogunate was solid as a rock from then on, and Japan entered a period of peace. The Japanese court granted the title "Tosho Ogwonen" and became the god of the Edo shogunate. It was enshrined in Tosho Palace in Japan and was called "Tosho God" by later generations.

Oda Nobunaga was born in 1534 at the age of 48; Toyotomi Hideyoshi was born in 1537 at the age of 61; Tokugawa Ieyasu was born in 1543 at the age of 73. Nobunaga is one step away from unifying the world; Hideyoshi was able to unify the world, but he failed to achieve stability in the world; Ieyasu finally achieved stability in the world and created a 264-year-long period from 1603 to 1867 for his descendants. The Edo Shogunate.

From the age of the "Three Masters of the Warring States Period," I first thought of a basic fact that to win the final victory, the priority is to be able to live to the end. Nobunaga and Hideyoshi, although the power in front of them is overwhelming, it can be said that one person has less than ten thousand people, but if they die, their life's efforts will instantly collapse. The matter of these three families has a lot of meaning from the Cao Wei to the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Western Jin Dynasty to Cao Wei.

But there is a very big difference. This is also a very different place between Japanese culture and Chinese culture. That is, although Japanese daimyo is conquering each other endlessly, there is daimyo who know how to use the name of the imperial family to be a teacher, but they seem to have never No one has ever meant to take the royal family instead. For them, the imperial family represented theocratic power, not secular power. The ambitious daimyo believed that they could command the world, but they never thought that they could become the emperor.

For China, there does not seem to be such a symbolic emperor. Our emperor is a symbol of secular power. Although everyone says that the emperor is ordered by the sky, what he thinks in his heart is "the king, general Ning has a kind of kind.” In Japan, the consciousness of theocratic power seems to be quite strong, and the Celestial Royal family is a concrete symbol of theocratic power in the secular world; in China, there is no deep-rooted theocratic worship in the hearts of the people.

Even if the common people worshiped the royal family, after the change of dynasty, the royal family changed to blood, and the emperor changed the surname, it does not seem to have a big impact. Zhao Qian Sun Li, it seems that no surname cannot be emperor.

Oda Nobunaga's son Oda Nobuo to less than Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Tokugawa Ieyasu has succumbed to this duo. After Hideyoshi's death, he fell to Ieyasu in the Battle of Osaka and was restored to his fame by Ieyasu. He is the only one of Oda Nobunaga's sons who managed to survive the Edo period as a daimyo, and his descendants have survived to this day. Nobuo was judged as a stupid and mediocre person, but it was precise because of this that he survived safely and continues Nobunaga's bloodline to this day. The reluctance of the queen of Shu Han to think about Shu is also a kind of wisdom to protect oneself.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi's son Toyotomi Hideyori to less Tokugawa Ieyasu, but do not want to submit to Ieyasu, Ieyasu twice and break operations. In the end, the castle of Osaka was broken, and Hideyori committed suicide. All males of the Toyotomi family, both young and old, were executed. The 22-year-old Hideyori and an illegitimate son, Kunimasumaru, were fostered in an ordinary home but were also found beheaded. After the death of Hideyoshi's wife and Ieyasu's granddaughter Chiyohime, Hideyoshi's line was completely dead.

Hideyoshi Taiko's life, a legend, and 18 years after his death, he ended up with the extinction of all male descendants, which is embarrassing. One of the important reasons for the failure of the two is the lack of strong heirs.

What is domineering? To subdue the enemy by war and force. Based on the experience of these three people, I think that in troubled times, although you should be domineering first when you kill, you should hold that the killing is for mercy and the war is for peace; if there is no charity, it will easily become Bloodthirsty killing machine.

Today’s hegemony should be for the king’s way of tomorrow. If there is no kindness in the heart when the hegemony has been achieved and should be transformed into the implementation of the king’s way, I am afraid that it will be easy to fall into the mud of pursuing greater hegemony, and finally, hand in hand for oneself. Dig the grave. When born in troubled times, you should settle your life in the way of the inner sanctuary and outer king. Although there is a bodhisattva's heart, with thunderbolt means.

Nobunaga has a violent personality and lacks Ieyasu's forbearance, and finally cannot end well; Hideyoshi is so invincible that he misses the conquest, challenges the fate, and wants to unify Asia in his lifetime. As a result, he planted various causes and effects before his death. After his death, retribution was imposed on his descendants. When Nobunaga and Hideyoshi were alive, Ieyasu could not bear it. If Ieyasu passed away early, or Nobunaga and Hideyoshi had stabilized the world for his descendants, perhaps Ieyasu would be willing to be the clan of Nobunaga and Hideyoshi's descendants for the rest of his life.

What is the kingly way? Let the people live and work in peace and contentment with benevolent governance and compassion. Ieyasu is one of the three who has successfully transformed from domineering to kingly. He died when Nobunaga's dominance was about to become successful; Hideyoshi's dominance was established, but he still lacked his heart and invaded North Korea to challenge the Ming Dynasty, and Ieyasu devoted himself to the kingly way in his later years. Try to avoid conquests, amend the laws, and start to cultivate the third-generation successors of the Tokugawa Shogunate.

When he was about to withdraw from the stage of history, Ieyasu was not thinking about winning more victories in front of him, but considering that if he was behind him, when he could no longer help his children and grandchildren, he would still be able to serve his children and grandchildren without repeating the mistakes of Hideyoshi. Lay the foundation for a stable world. This kind of mind and state is indeed admirable.

For a family, organization, and regime that hopes to last for a long time, the issue of heirs is a very, very important issue. Now all kinds of " X second generation" problems are flying all over the sky. In a word, the first generation of pioneers did not pay attention to and solve the problem of heirs.

The grandfathers or fathers not only passed on their glory and status to the children but also passed the retribution of their mistakes and faults to the children. The children received visible benefits and had to accept the invisible dangers.

The benefits and embarrassment we are now facing may be caused by the behavior of our parents or even our grandparents, and our current behavior may also affect the well-being and punishment of our children and grandchildren.

Regarding the custom of Japanese samurai committing suicide, my impression of this behavior was mainly from history textbooks. This word always reminds me of some unpleasant historical events. But now, it seems that people who can make sharp aspirations are amazing in at least some aspects. I don’t know the origin and cause of the Japanese samurai’s practice of cutting abdomen and committing suicide, but the so-called "death sees the truth", deliberately choosing the most painful way of death, such as cutting the abdomen, to show their determination. Things out.

Many lords and daimyo would ask the vassal warrior who died together to explain the mistake for themselves before the abdominal incision, that is, when they were unable to complete the abdominal incision process due to excessive pain, they would help themselves to complete the last cut of the abdominal incision. At this time, the act of cutting the abdomen seemed quite sacred, like some kind of ritual to pour out the will to the gods.

" "There is one thing for the father to tell you. I made a big mistake, thinking that sending your mother to Okazaki Castle was a win, but it turns out that it was just a miscalculation that fell into ridicule. "The room was extremely silent, only the sound of beating the back gently echoed in the room. Zhongzheng deliberately did not face his daughter, and in a light tone, he confessed his last words to the beloved daughter who was about to be sent to the enemy: "The father of Guangzhong When Qingkang asked me for your mother, I was very angry and scolded him as a bastard.

Especially look down on him, thinking that he is just a womanizer. Although I felt wrong, I thought I had won. Your mother left five children and went to Okazaki Castle alone. As long as she is in Okazaki for one day, Mizuno will be safe for one day. "Zhengzheng's tone became more and more excited, and Yu Da's eyes were moist. Yu Dubai knew how deeply his father used his mother. Therefore, although she missed her mother very much, she never resented her father. "... There is nothing wrong with my thinking on this matter. Isn't Mizuno safe and sound now?

But my original plan was to send your mother as a hostage first and then look for an opportunity to kill the Songpei clan, but my plan was completely miscalculated. Your mother is a virtuous person, and her servants still respect her. The generals who confronted the Matsudaira on the battlefield are all her children, and no matter how brave they claim to be, they will never destroy the city where their mother lives. Because as long as you destroy the opponent, it is equivalent to killing your biological mother... "

During the Warring States period, the marriage between the city lord was mostly for political purposes. Not only women, but even men may not have the ability to actively choose their wives. Marriage is for the benefit of the service, for the need to breed children, but not only for love.

" Everyone congratulates the mouth, but the hearts of hidden infinite desolation. I do not know when to start," married "with the word" meaning hostages "in. Among the troubled times, women can only lock from their feelings, did not reveal. "

" If you want to create a set of the art of war that others can't understand, you must have knowledge that is different from ordinary people. If the knowledge and knowledge are the same as others, the thoughts in your heart will be quickly seen through. "

It is useless to intercede, the world is determined by heaven. Just like a snail is born on a tree, a conch lives in the water. "I don't know what Xinxiu thought of, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. "In the eyes of a fool, maybe you can't notice the changes in the world. As long as you don't pay attention to it, everything will disappear. You should understand this. The so-called Fujiwara clan, Tachibana clan, Genji clan, and Hei clan have changed over and over again, and there is no constant. Saito Dozo of Mino was originally an artist who had no surname in the Nishioka area of the capital. Matsunaga Dan Masanori was once an Omi trader. To cling to a wealthy family, saying that he is a descendant of nobles, is nothing but a laugh in the world. "

"In that case, you can see my thoughts? If you really can see it, it means that my ideas are too simple." He looked at Hataro with a tentative look. Hamtaro was silent, and Nobun Xiu's tactics made him feel terrified. Xinxiu is very different from ordinary people, and his thoughts are like a wild horse running out of the air. "You can only see that I will not kill these women?" "No, the adults will entrust those women to the next." "Oh, since you can even see this, you should also know why I entrust them. For you. Let's talk about it."

"The adults may want to say: Let them be goddesses and serve the gods for the Xiongruogong family." "Haha, your eyes are sharp. You are right." Xinxiu touched her belly and smiled happily, "I might as well. To put it bluntly, those who only knew how to bury their heads in the pile of paper but did not understand the practical things would never think of it." "Listen here and there." "In the eyes of ordinary people in the world, the goddess should live in the inner courtyard of the shrine, staying at home, and dedicated to the gods. "Yes." "I want to use this idea."
