"High Definition Japanese Warring States History 4" is the fourth part of "High Definition Japanese Warring States History". The author reflects the many contradictions in the shogunate's rule at that time and the intrigues between the ruling class through the relationship between the shogunate Tokugawa Hidetada and a group of important ministers, the mutual relationship between the important ministers, and Tokugawa Hidetada's biography at Tokugawa Iemitsu. The fight between Tokugawa Iemitsu and the emperor reflects the relationship between the emperor and the shogunate. The spread and resistance to Catholicism hinted at the serious dissatisfaction of the lower class of society with the rule, and the sharp contradictions and conflicts between the bottom and the upper class finally led to a series of peasant uprisings. Although the uprising was eventually suppressed, its impact was extremely far-reaching. It not only shook the foundation of the shogunate's rule, but also prompted Japan to implement a closed-door foreign policy. With the deaths of Tokugawa Iemitsu and a number of ministers and the intensifying conflicts between the daimyo, the foundation of the shogunate's rule was seriously weakened. With the rise of the ronin class and some daimyo, it seemed that the edifice of the shogunate's rule was about to collapse.

After the Battle of Sekihara, Tokugawa Ieyasu was appointed by the Emperor as the General to Conquer the Barbarians, founded the Tokugawa Shogunate, and began his journey to become the first person in Japan. However, the Toyotomi family has always been regarded as orthodox and still powerful. Toyotomi Hideyori also has loyal retainers around him and has a marriage agreement with the Tokugawa family. Tokugawa Ieyasu must start from two aspects, one is to make the world surrender with his strength, and the other is to oust the Toyotomi family from power as legitimately as possible. A competition of intelligence and strength that lasted for more than ten years began. At the same time, the issue of successor was also placed in front of Tokugawa Ieyasu. Who can I trust with my long-lasting achievements? The internal fighting of the Tokugawa family burned the life of this overlord in another way.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi had just ended a century of turmoil, but he was unable to eliminate the negative effects of this century of war in the short term - low national power, poor people's lives, and conflicts between various forces that had not been completely resolved. In order to divert domestic conflicts, Toyotomi Hideyoshi launched an aggressive war against North Korea. North Korea was vulnerable and could only ask for help from the Ming Dynasty at that time, and relied on the help of the Ming Dynasty to repel the invaders. This failure caused a generation of heroic Toyotomi Hideyoshi to die in depression, leaving his youngest son Toyotomi Hideyori to inherit the family business. However, there are similarities in history both at home and abroad. The accession of a young master to the throne often means the beginning of turmoil. Mitsunari Ishida, who was loyal to the Toyotomi family, and Tokugawa Ieyasu, a powerful minister, had frequent frictions, which eventually led to a war of unprecedented scale. Almost all the forces at that time took sides out of their own considerations. In the end, Tokugawa Ieyasu defeated Ishida Mitsunari in the decisive battle of Sekigahara, seized the entire world, founded the Tokugawa Shogunate, and began the Edo Shogunate era.

Tell the history of Japan in a popular and smooth way.

In June 1853, four steamships from the United States arrived in Edo, Japan, breaking Japan's two-hundred-year policy of seclusion and becoming known as the Black Ships in history. The actual ruler of Japan, the Tokugawa Shogunate, announced the founding of the country and signed a series of treaties with Western powers. At the same time, Japan's local samurai formed the Zunban faction and began a vigorous "overthrow" movement. In 1867, the shogunate returned power to the emperor, but it did not intend to give up control of Japan. The two sides fought a fierce battle at Fushimi Toba in Kyoto. Although it ended in the defeat of the shogunate, Edo Castle was still in the hands of the Tokugawa family.

What is it that makes Japan the country it is today? From the arrival of the black ships to the death of Emperor Meiji, this was almost a 60-year period that completely changed the destiny of Japan. In 1853, the actual ruler of Japan, the Tokugawa Shogunate, declared the country. In 1867, the shogunate returned power to the emperor. The reformists announced the "restoration of royal government." In 1875, Japan announced a preparatory constitutional period. In 1890, Japan convened a congress, and then began its crazy expansion, launching the Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese Naval War and the Russo-Japanese War. The victory of the Sino-Japanese War and the Russo-Japanese War made Japan a world-class power. In 1912, Emperor Meiji died and the Meiji era came to an end. It's the end of an era and the end of another crazy era.

Emperor Meiji, who regained control of the government, worked hard to govern and reform, determined to put Japan on the road to prosperity. In 1871, the Meiji government sent a large-scale mission headed by Right Minister Iwakura Tomomi to visit Europe and the United States to inspect the capitalist state system. The new government actively introduced various European and American systems and carried out many reforms in the economic system, national industry, national education, etc. These reforms are collectively known as the Meiji Restoration. But like all reforms, the Meiji Restoration faced many obstacles from the beginning. Because of reform measures such as the abolition of feudal lords and the establishment of counties, the military system, and the abolition of sword orders, strong dissatisfaction arose among the former samurai class, and rebellions continued in various places. In 1877, the Satsuma Domain led by Saigo Takamori rebelled. This war, known as the Southwest War, lasted for half a year and was the last civil war in Japanese history. With the defeat of the Satsuma Army in the Southwest War, the feudal militaristic state controlled and dominated by the emperor was established, marking the end of Japan's capitalist revolution. After pacifying the southwest, Japan established a parliament in accordance with the model of Western powers, revised its constitution, and conducted diplomacy with Western countries.

In 1199, Minamoto Yoritomo died. After Minamoto Yoritomo's death, the shogunate power was controlled by his wife Hojo Masako and his father-in-law Hojo Tokimasa. Since then, the shogunate's power has become a mere decoration, and the real power has been led by the hereditary power of the Hojo clan. In 1219, Hojo Yoshitoki instigated Minamoto no Yori family's surviving son Minamoto no Akatsuki to assassinate Minamoto no Tomo, and then used this to kill Minamoto no Kōko. The Minamoto family was extinct. Hojo Masako became the supreme ruler, and supported Fujiwara Yorike, who was related to the Minamoto family, as the general. In 1221, Emperor Gotoba launched a war to overthrow the emperor, which was known as the "Jokyu Rebellion" in history, but it ended in failure. After the Chengjiu Rebellion, the public power began to decline, and the warrior class developed unprecedentedly. However, the stability of the Kamakura shogunate did not last long. The Yuan-Japanese War between China and Japan accelerated the decline and destruction of the Kamakura shogunate and deepened the rift between the public and samurai families. In 1318, Emperor Go-Daigo ascended the throne and was determined to restore the authority of the imperial family, deposed the imperial government, and began his own campaign. In 1331, Emperor Go-Daigo once again conspired to overthrow the emperor, but was defeated by the shogunate army. This was known as the "Motohiro Rebellion" in history. Emperor Go-Daigo was exiled, and the second overthrow movement failed. In 1333, wealthy families in various places began to fall. The shogunate sent Ashikaga Takashi (Ashikaga Takauji) to quell the rebellion. Ashikaga Takashi was already dissatisfied with the autocratic regime of the Hojo clan. He defected on the way and captured Kamakura. The last generation in power, Hojo Takatoki, committed suicide, and the Kamakura shogunate was destroyed. After Emperor Go-Daigo abdicated, he was defeated by Yoshino, and Japan entered the Southern and Northern Dynasties period.

Through the Meiji Restoration, Japan "left Asia and joined Europe", its national strength greatly increased, and it gradually embarked on the path of aggression and expansion. Correspondingly, the Qing Dynasty at this time appeared to be "returning to glory" through the Westernization Movement, but in fact it was politically corrupt, people lived in poverty, and various factions in the officialdom were fighting overtly and secretly, and intrigues among themselves. Under such circumstances, competition between the two countries became inevitable at that time. In 1876, Japan used force to open the door of North Korea, forced the North Korean government to sign the "Treaty of Ganghwa", and obtained a series of privileges such as consular jurisdiction. In 1894, the Donghak Party uprising broke out in North Korea. The North Korean government troops were retreating steadily and were forced to ask for help from their sovereign state, the Qing Dynasty. Japan took the opportunity to also send troops to North Korea, deliberately provoking a war. The Battle of Toshima broke out on July 25, 1894, and the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1894 began. Because Japan had been planning for a long time and the Qing Dynasty rushed to fight, the war ended with China's defeat and the complete destruction of the Beiyang Navy.

After the Battle of Shiromurajiang, Japan's vitality was severely damaged and it retreated to its homeland. In Japan, after the death of Emperor Tenchi, the Imshin Rebellion broke out, and Emperor Tenmu succeeded to the throne. After Tenmu came to power, he took full power and continued to push forward the Daika Reform until Emperor Bunmu and Emperor Genmei formulated the "Daibao Ryuto" and "Youro Ryuto" successively, fully establishing the results of the Daika Reform. In 710, Emperor Genmei moved the capital to Nara Castle, starting the Nara era; in 794, Emperor Tsunemu moved the capital to Heian-kyo, starting the Heian era. The emperor was in power during both the Nara and Heian periods. In 877, Fujiwara Momotsune forced Emperor Seiwa to abdicate and was succeeded by the 9-year-old Emperor Yosei, who served as regent as his uncle. In 887, Emperor Uta succeeded to the throne and announced that Fujiwara Motosune should be "cleared" for all matters, no matter how big or small. This began the famous "photography policy". In 1086, Emperor Shirakawa established the "institutional administration" in order to compete with the Fujiwara clan, which is known as the "institutional administration era" in history. In 1179, Taira Kiyomori led troops into Kyoto and imprisoned Emperor Shirakawa, imposing a dictatorship. In 1185, Minamoto Yoritomo raised an army to eliminate the Taira clan and took control of the central government. He was later appointed by the emperor as the "General for Conquering the Barbarians" and established the shogunate in Kamakura. From this time on, the nobility and the emperor were no longer the center of Japanese political power, and the samurai holding steel swords became the new masters of history.

In 57 AD, the Japanese slave king went to Luoyang to meet Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty Liu Xiu, and was named "the Japanese slave king of the Han Dynasty". At that time, Japan's political power was limited to today's Kyushu Island, divided into dozens of tribes, and there were constant disputes. Until the Three Kingdoms period, various tribes formed an alliance and elected Queen Beimihu as the leader of the alliance. After that, Japan continued to send envoys to China to learn from China's advanced systems and technologies. In 593 AD, Prince Shotoku took over as regent and implemented reforms. After the death of Prince Shotoku, Emperor Kotoku once again implemented reforms after coming to power, which was known as the "Taika Reform" in history. However, the Dahua reform was resisted because it touched the interests of the nobles. It was not implemented again until Empress Saimei (Princess Tao) came to the throne. Soon, the famous "Battle of Shiromura River" broke out, and Japan was defeated and retreated to its homeland.

This book is the third volume that tells the history of Japan in a popular and smooth way. In the eighth year of Keicho (1603), shortly after the Battle of Sekigahara, Tokugawa Ieyasu was appointed by the Emperor as the general to conquer the barbarians and established the shogunate in Edo. This is of course the result of countless arrangements, but for Ieyasu, his purpose is far more than that. What he really wants to do is to eliminate the Toyotomi family and put the entire Japan in the hands of the Tokugawa family. On the other hand, the Toyotomi family, which has felt many crises, has also carried out various resistances under the leadership of the core group headed by Mrs. Yodo. Whether it is negative or positive, everyone hopes to protect the great achievements of the late Taiko Toyotomi Hideyoshi to the end. Thus, a decisive battle between east and west will begin again. And whose side will the goddess of victory stand on this time? Is it the east side or the west side? Is it a giant or a Hanshin?

In 1890, Japan held a parliament, and then began its crazy expansion, launching the Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese Naval War and the Russo-Japanese War.
