The life of the characters in Mary Trumoto's novels

In the 22nd year of Astronomy (1553) 65438+1October 22nd, Huiyuan was born in Anyiguo (Hiroshima Prefecture), the eldest son of Mō ri Takamoto. In the sixth year of Lu Yong (1563), Long Yuan died unfortunately, and Hui Yuan, aged1/kloc-0, succeeded to the throne. Although his grandfather Mao Liyuan was 60 years old at that time, he had to continue to hold the real power of the Maori family until Hui Yuanyuan took over. At the public sacrifice ceremony in Fu Yuan, the name of Keio Maru was officially changed to Huiyuan (the name of Huizi was Ashikaga Yi Hui, the shogunate general of a prefecture).

In the second year of Yuangui (157 1), Yuan died, and Huiyuan took charge of the state affairs, and duly inherited the huge family of Ximaoli.

Huiyuan's territory extends from Fengyuan country on Kyushu island to the border between Bomo country and Kitakyushu country. It not only has a powerful navy (the first in Japan at that time), but also has two talented uncles, Kobayakawa Takakage and Kikkawa Motoharu. At this time, the Nizi clan, the old enemy of the Maori family, was wiped out in Lu Yong for nine years (1566). Yuan left instructions before his death, pointing out that his people should satisfy everything they had at that time and give up taking risks to expand their territory.

To some extent, Hui Yuan followed the teachings of his grandfather in his later years. In addition to the small-scale conflict in Kyushu Island, it mainly adopted the expansion mode of gradually infiltrating farther east. In this context, the first year of Huiyuan's rule quietly passed. In the third year of Tianzheng (1575), the Maori-Ukita alliance led by Kobayakawa Takakage and Ukita Naoie defeated the three village families in Beizhong, thus expanding the influence of Maori in that area; At the same time, in the battle between Kikkawa Motoharu and Nitz supporter Lu Jie in the mountains, the Maori extended their territory to the north coast of China. The great changes that have taken place in Kyoto during this period will have a great impact on the future of Maori families, no matter what.

In the 11th year of Lu Yong (1568), Nonaga Oda made Ashikaga Yoshiaki a foreign general in Kyoto, and made the Emperor emperor to show his ambition. As a general who conquered foreigners, Zhao Yi also felt uneasy about his fate and tried to revive the Muromachi shogunate. He secretly sought help from powerful family forces around Oda's family (that is, formed Nobu Network), including of course the Maori family. Before Yuan died, he publicly announced that he would no longer form an alliance with Xinbu, so the young Huiyuan issued an open challenge to Xinbu.

In February of the fourth year of Tianzheng (1576), Yi Ming, who was driven out of Kyoto by Nobunaga, passed through the reservation of Maori territory. In that year, Yi Ming came to Nobunaga with a tung pattern (Ashikaga family pattern) and gave Huiyuan the same treatment this time. Yi Zhao, like his brother Yi Hui, asked Hui Yuan to be the guardian of all parts of China.

Since the first year of Yuangui (1570), Maori have been intervening in the siege of Benyuan Temple in Shishan, a religious force in Shejin. In fact, the war did not happen at the border of the Ministry of Information. When the Maori water army, which Huiyuan has always been proud of, started to act, Nobunaga's water army general, alcoholic Jialong, had cut off the sea route of Hong Anji Army and blocked the coast. Huiyuan ordered his fleet to advance to the sea area of Shejin under the command of Murakami Takeyoshi. There, Maori Navy defeated Oda Navy led by Nine Ghosts and opened the supply line to Shishan Temple. This happened in the fourth year of Tianzheng (1576), which is also known as the Kawaguchi War in Jin Mu. This loss greatly stimulated Nobunobu, who refused to give up, so he ordered drunkards Jialong and Suichuan Yiyi to build six huge warships (it is said that at least some armored ships were covered on the ship's side). When these warships were completed in the sixth year of Tianzheng (1578, two years later), he ordered six "sea monsters" to set out for the inland sea. These warships equipped with artillery met with the Maori water army again where the last battle took place. In the second battle of Kawaguchi, Jin Mu, the Navy of Ota defeated Maori-Murakami Suigun under the command of alcoholic Jialong. Maori-Murakami Suigun returned to Anyi.

In the next few years, the Maori family's attempts to break the blockade failed (600 warships of the Maori water army went to rescue Shishan and fought with the Nine Ghost Fleet blocked by the sea in Muchuan. Although the Maori water army launched a brave attack on the armored ship, it was helpless that the Tianjun was destroyed by the artillery on the armored ship. As a result, the Ota water army won a total victory and the Maori water army had to fail. The victory of Kawaguchi War in Jin Mu laid the advantage of weaving Tian Jun in the joint war between Shishan and Yamagata. Finally, in the eighth year of Tianzheng (1580), with the surrender of Hong Anji, the Lion Mountain War ended.

At this time, Huiyuan also encountered a big trouble. Because Takeda Gui was defeated by Zhi Tian Jun in the battle of Chang Xiao in the third year of Tenzin (1575) and the death of Shan Qianxin in the "Leaping Dragon" in the sixth year of Tenzin (1578), Nobu was able to concentrate more on fighting the Maori army, and he sent two large-scale troops to the west to advance into China. Among them, Yuchai Hideyoshi led the army to carry out armed resistance in the south, while Akechi Mitsuhide's army moved to the Yin Shan Tunnel area in the north. But the whole process can be said to be quite slow. At this time, many Yuxi families in front of the north suddenly rebelled. Nevertheless, some loyal supporters of the Maori family are bravely resisting: Bie Bomi held on to Sanmu City until the eighth year of Tenzheng (1580), and Ji Chuan, commander of Tottori City (due to national reasons), led his troops to resist for more than 200 days. But on the verge of starvation in the city, the two castles finally surrendered.

In the sixth year of Tianzheng (1578), Yuchai Hideyoshi occupied the last moon city, and dedicated it to Nizi Shengjiu, a descendant of Nizi family who was supported by famous deer in the mountains. The latter attempted to rebuild the extinct Izumonitz clan. Perhaps it was only stimulated by the arrival of the new owner of Yuecheng last month that Huiyuan sent his uncle to recapture Yuecheng. They did succeed, so Steve and shinya yamanaka were beheaded later. However, according to this is neither a leader like his grandfather, nor as charismatic as his father rumored. Although he inherited his grandfather Yuan Jiu's outstanding leadership ability, he could not use it wisely and flexibly.

However, in the tenth year of Tianzheng (1582), Maori's defeat seemed inevitable: Yuchai Xiuji's whole army surrounded the prepared Gaosongcheng. Although Lord Shimizu ruled the loyal opposition (former minister of the three villages), if all the lines fall here, the door of the reserve will open, and then the Maori home will be behind. In the past six years, Huiyuan has never met an invader who can openly challenge in its own territory, so this time it was forced to make preparations for loyal resistance to the end.

Hideyoshi knew that Gaosongcheng was a tough nut to crack. If the battle failed, the Maori family would have a huge advantage, so he decided to take a strange plan as soon as possible. Interestingly, there is a river not far from Gaosongcheng, and Xiuji successfully submerged Gaosongcheng by taking advantage of its geographical position, making it an island surrounded by water. At this time, Huiyuan has mobilized troops to support the front line, but hesitated whether to directly attack Xiuji's troops, delaying the fighters. The Duke of Shimizu started from his own interests, and Xiang Xiu Ji proposed not to hurt other people in the city, saying that he would lead the people to surrender and perform caesarean section to show loyalty. At this critical moment, fate miraculously intervened, or it can be said that it was biased towards the Maori side. After the change of Honnoji Temple, Akechi Mitsuhide immediately sent messengers to report to the Maori. Unexpectedly, the emissary got lost in the dark night, which led to the secret letter (that is, Xin Guang died at the hand of Yu Xiuji) being intercepted by Yuchai Xiuji (this happened to be the second day of Honnoji Temple's transition). Hideyoshi knows the importance of this news and dare not make it public easily. So he immediately held peace talks with the Maori, and proposed that except for three counties east of Jiao Bo and two places east of Gaoliangchuan, the rest areas were still owned by the Maori (before the preparation, the United States was owned by many Yuxi families), and asked Masataka Shimizu to commit suicide by caesarean section. Perhaps out of deep belief in Soo-kyi's leniency, Huiyuan agreed to these conditions and allowed Soo-kyi to return to the territory quickly before other forces took action against the rebels in Akechi Mitsuhide. After reviewing the real reasons for his failure, Maori not only abided by the armistice agreement, but also became one of Hideyoshi's most loyal supporters. Later, when Hideyoshi led an army to conquer Kyushu Shimadzu and Shikoku, Huiyuan sent "Maoli Liangjiang" (Kobayakawa Hideaki and Kikkawa Hiroie) to lead troops to support Hideyoshi. In the eighteenth year of Tianzheng (1590), when Hideyoshi attacked Houbeitiaojia, he sent a water army to help. In the first year of Luwen (1592), when Xiuji invaded Korea, Huiyuan also led a team-although he spent most of his time fighting the Korean guerrillas, the so-called famous soldiers were also defeated and fled by the guerrillas. For example, on August 1592 14, Mei Lite Lumoto and Ankokuji Ekei led the Seventh Army to the whole state. As the officers and men had fled, the militia leader Pu Huang led them. The strength of the so-called "famous soldiers" can be seen.

In the third year of Changqing (1598), Hui Yuan was appointed as one of the "Five Elders", responsible for deliberation and decision-making until the young master Toyotomi Hideyori came of age. The five elders include Tokugawa Ieyasu, Maeda Toshiie, Yuxi Duoxiujia, Meiri Huiben and Kobayakawa Takakage (added by Uesugi Kagekatsu after Kobayakawa Takakage's death), among which Huiyuan ranks second only to Tokugawa Ieyasu, the inner government, with an annual income of more than 6.5438+0.2 million stone. Perhaps, after Toyotomi Hideyoshi's death, the problems left by him before his death will make Japan face a great change in the country, which is inevitable. On the one hand, due to the conflict of interests and distrust between the literati and the military commanders, the two factions have different opinions and the situation is the same; On the other hand, Tokugawa Ieyasu, an ambitious man, thinks it is a good opportunity to finally get rid of the shackles of Toyotomi Hideyoshi and strive to become a bully in the world. The Duke of Ishida Mitsunari, one of the Linhe Mountain City and Wuqinxi, has always been dissatisfied with Tokugawa Ieyasu. In order to repay Toyotomi Hideyoshi for promoting himself as Regent Xiulai, and at the same time unwilling to lose power to Tokugawa Ieyasu, he decided to rise up against Tokugawa Ieyasu. In this case, the Toyotomi regime tends to split. In the fourth year of Evergreen (1599), two camps led by Tokugawa Ieyasu and Ishida Mitsunari began to form. Huiyuan initially considered joining the Tokugawa side. Unfortunately, for Huiyuan and Maori families, they were persuaded by Ankokuji Ekei, a long-time guest. Ankokuji Ekei, as the diplomatic envoy of Maori, has a certain position among Maori. He convinced Huiyuan that Tokugawa Ieyasu would seize the power of the young master Toyotomi Hideyori at that time. Ultimately for political reasons. Ri Terumoto was determined to join Ishida Mitsunari and was elected as the general of the western army.

In the future, when comparing the wealth of Tokugawa and Maori, Gangneung, a Korean who has close friendship with scholars such as Fujiwara Keiji, Yoshida Yoshida and Akamatsu Hiroshi, once described it like this: "The rice grains obtained on Konka land are called 2.5 million stones, and the actual income is several times that. Huiyuan's gold and silver are not inferior. Konka is related to the east, and Huiyuan has Yinshan Yangshan Road. When people comment on their wealth, they all say that Konka has many grains of rice, which can be used to pave a road from Kanto to Kyoto. Huiyuan is rich in gold and silver, and all bridges from Yinshan Yangshan to Kyoto can be replaced by Jinqiao Silver Bridge. They are extremely rich ... "If we don't bring in M not riterumoto, the war will be doomed to failure from the beginning, and everyone knows that.

On the morning of July 1600 in the fifth year of Qing Dynasty, Huiyuan left Hiroshima with her six-year-old son Xiu and arrived in Osaka on the evening of June16. Instead of being in Xiyuan, Guangben asked his son Xiulai to serve him. On 17, he held a public meeting and decided to publish a campaign against Tokugawa Ieyasu. However, Huiyuan showed no enthusiasm for this new "post". Not only was he not good at seizing the opportunity of commanding, but he even worried about whether he could be the commander-in-chief of the "marked army" as Tokugawa Ieyasu said. 30% finally let Huiyuan (leave Hiroshima for Osaka on July 15) enter Osaka the next day. In essence, 30% just let him be a nominal general. This fatal mistake evolved into the Battle of Guanyuan, which broke out in September15 (16001021) in the fifth year of Qing Dynasty, and the eastern army defeated the western army.

The joint forces of the Maori Group (including Mori Trumoto and his adopted sons Maori Xiu Yuan and Yoshikawa Hiroyuki) are the largest forces in the western army. But in actual combat, Huiyuan is almost unable to move. In the impregnable Osaka Castle, Hui Yuan is convinced that Xiu Yuan said that the best measure at present is not to stick to it; At the same time, it is pointed out that 30% of actions are doomed to failure, or at least they are worthless. Kikkawa Hiroie (who opposed the Maori family to join the Western Front Army from the beginning) conveyed this to Tokugawa Ieyasu through Governor Kuroda, and then Konka said that if the Western Front Army did nothing, it would be beneficial to the victory of the Eastern Front Army. As a result, things developed unexpectedly. Although Konka understood Yoshikawa's explanation that the western army had nothing to do with Japan at first, it seemed to be just a strategy to bind Huiyuan to the solid Osaka city alone. Once the battle begins, the East Army can surround Osaka, so Osaka is Konka's bag. Konka publicly declared that this battle is the mission of the warriors, especially the battle with the so-called western army generals. After the war, Huiyuan's land in Zhou Fangguo and Changmen was greatly reduced to 370,000 stones, and she lost Anyi. After the preparation, she saw the stone and went out of the cloud, hiding in five countries and three counties in the west of the country, and preparing it in China, west of Gaoliang. This seems to be a cruel joke. In the cut territory, 30,000 stones in China district were sealed by Konka to Yoshikawa Hiroshi as a token of gratitude. What makes Huiyuan even worse is that. Later Huiyuan became a vassal of Changzhou. Compared with Huiyuan, which keeps calm, Ankokuji Ekei is not so lucky. On June 65438+1 October1day of the same year, he paraded in Kyoto with Ishida Mitsunari and Konishi Yukinaga, and was beheaded in Liuhe Hospital of Kyoto. 10 June, in the same year after the war, Huiyuan shaved her hair and called it Shenmiao Temple, making her eldest son Mao succeed as governor. In the eighth year of Changqing (1603), Hui Yuan went to edo to plead guilty. In the ninth year of the following year (1604), construction of Changmen Imperial City was started as a residential city.

In the 9th year of Yuanhe (1623), Hui Yuan officially lived in seclusion.

In the second year of Kuanyong (1625), Hui Yuan died in Sibensongdi, Yucheng, at the age of 73.
