00:00Although it was a coincidental victory, all the defeats were inevitable.
00:07How did the foreigners, who had colored the history of Japan, lose?
00:13What kind of causes and mistakes were behind them?
00:18This time, we will take a look at the defeat of Kanuma Okitsugu,
00:23who had enormous power in the mid-Edo period.
00:28By bold commercial policies, he reclaimed the wealth of the Waku.
00:34But he was defeated.
00:37Why did the Ratsuan politician, who built the Tanuma period,
00:41lose everything, including his position and honor?
00:46The philosophy of life learned from the failures of the defeated.
00:53The Lessons from the Defeat of the Foreigners
01:02What do we learn from the failures of the foreigners in history?
01:09I'm Yuri Nakanishi, voice of Shinko,
01:14and I'm Jun Ito, a historian.
01:17Nice to meet you.
01:20This year's Taiga drama is also very exciting.
01:24In the middle of the Edo period,
01:27there are many different dramas from the Sengoku period and the end of the Waku.
01:32In the middle of the Edo period,
01:35there are not many dramatic developments,
01:38and people tend to have a boring image.
01:41But in fact, there is a political game that is not as interesting as in other periods.
01:46This time, I would like to focus on the failure of the old beast, Tanuma Okitsugu,
01:52who is also a hot topic in the Taiga drama.
01:56Speaking of Tanuma Okitsugu,
01:59he has a strong image of being a Japanese-style politician,
02:03but it seems that he has changed a little recently.
02:06The image of Tanuma Okitsugu before was that he was a Japanese-style politician
02:11with a strong image of being a politician who did not like gold and silver.
02:15However, in the middle of the Edo period,
02:18the image of Tanuma Okitsugu has changed a little.
02:21In the middle of the Edo period,
02:24the image of Tanuma Okitsugu has changed a little.
02:27That's right.
02:29This time, we will look for lessons to live tomorrow
02:32while remembering the defeat of Tanuma Okitsugu.
02:35First, let's take a look at the life of Tanuma Okitsugu.
02:39Please take a look.
02:42Tanuma Okitsugu, who has been criticized as a wild politician,
02:47was born in Edo as the son of Tanuma Okiyuki,
02:51who was born in Hatamoto in 1719.
02:57Okitsugu, who was appointed as the next general candidate,
03:01Tokugawa Ieshige, in his youth,
03:04was appointed as the 9th general,
03:07and he became a member of the Osoba family.
03:10He became involved in the development of the country,
03:13and became the head of the Osoba family.
03:19Even after the 10th general, Ieharu, became the head of the Osoba family,
03:23Okitsugu was still appointed as the head of the Osoba family,
03:26and he became the head of the Osoba family.
03:29He became more successful as he grew older,
03:32and he gained a great power.
03:38What Okitsugu did was
03:41to create a revolutionary economic policy
03:44to eliminate the financial difficulties of the Waku.
03:48He recruited shareholders by merchants,
03:51and took tax instead of recognizing the exclusive right of business.
03:56He acquired new resources from outside of Nengumai.
04:05He also distributed the Nishugin to Nanryo,
04:08and he unified the military forces all over the country.
04:13He brought a new era called the Tanuma era.
04:20However, in 1782,
04:23there was a great natural disaster,
04:26and Okitsugu's influence became stronger.
04:36Furthermore, in 1786,
04:39General Ieharu, who was the greatest scholar, died,
04:43and Okitsugu, who was isolated, committed suicide.
04:47The following year, he was executed.
04:54It was the moment of Okitsugu's defeat.
04:59Even though Okitsugu was disqualified,
05:02he was charged with the crime of a criminal,
05:05and he was severely punished, such as being deported.
05:11Soon, he passed away.
05:18Okitsugu rebuilt the Waku,
05:21but why did he lose everything in a short period of time?
05:28This time, we will look at the loss of Okitsugu Tanuma,
05:31who suddenly fell from the throne.
05:37Now, let's look back at the main events of Okitsugu Tanuma's life.
05:42In the first place, Okitsugu Tanuma's family
05:45was a family from the Kishu Hanshu period of Yoshimune.
05:49Okitsugu's father, Okiyuki,
05:52was found by Yoshimune, who was still in his room,
05:55and was executed.
05:57This was the beginning of the Tanuma family.
06:00Even though Yoshimune was still in his room,
06:03he became a general,
06:06and Okiyuki was exiled from the Kishu Hanshu period
06:09and was given a position in 600 countries.
06:12Okitsugu was the eldest son of Okiyuki.
06:15When Okitsugu was 14,
06:18he went to Yoshimune to pay his respects.
06:21There were 20 members of the second generation
06:24of the Kishu Hanshu who paid their respects together.
06:27So, Okitsugu Tanuma was not treated
06:30as a special person from the beginning.
06:33Okitsugu Tanuma's father died when he was 16.
06:36At that time, three of the 20 members
06:39were executed.
06:42In other words, Okitsugu Tanuma's father
06:45was executed by Okitsugu Tanuma.
06:48Okitsugu Tanuma was the leader of the Kishu Hanshu.
06:51In that sense,
06:54Okitsugu Tanuma won the competition.
06:57It was because of the strong trust
07:00between Yoshimune and Ieshigi
07:03that Okitsugu Tanuma was able to succeed.
07:06Okitsugu Tanuma, who ascended to the throne
07:09of 57,000 countries from 600 countries,
07:12and Okitsugu Tanuma,
07:15who was a man of authority,
07:18had excellent economic sense
07:21and communication ability.
07:25Okitsugu Tanuma,
07:28who is said to have been a great politician.
07:32This image is actually
07:35made up by Kosei.
07:42In the Edo period,
07:45prostitution was prohibited on the surface,
07:48but in fact it was widely recognized
07:51as the pure oil of human relations.
07:55The person who became a prostitute politician
07:58was Sadanobu Matsudaira,
08:01the role model of the Kansei Reformation,
08:04who held power after Okitsugu Tanuma.
08:08Mr. Oishi, who was familiar with the politics of the Edo period,
08:11said this.
08:15The Sadanobu administration
08:18first spread information
08:21and emphasized Tanuma's prostitution as evil.
08:24It went on for a long time.
08:27The Meiji Elementary School textbooks
08:30said that Tanuma was a bad politician.
08:33Sadanobu Matsudaira corrected that.
08:36That's the kind of education he gave.
08:41What kind of person was Okitsugu Tanuma?
08:47A portrait of him in his 40s
08:50was left in Makinohara City, Shizuoka Prefecture.
08:54This is the portrait of Okitsugu Tanuma.
08:58He was a prostitute politician,
09:01so he had the image
09:04of a very evil person.
09:07Looking at this portrait,
09:10it gives the impression
09:13that Okitsugu Tanuma was a pervert.
09:20The legend of Okitsugu Tanuma
09:23is left behind.
09:27Every year in the New Year,
09:30in Ooku, Edo Castle,
09:33the maids were called Bureikos.
09:36They would touch the bodies of the old men
09:39and drop them into the river.
09:46However, one year,
09:49when Okitsugu came,
09:52the maids forgot about the prank
09:55and fell in love with him.
09:59Okitsugu was fascinated by Ooku
10:02with his sweet mask.
10:06With just one mask,
10:09Okitsugu became famous in 600 countries
10:12and became famous in 57,000 countries.
10:18He became famous in several hundreds of countries
10:21and led the students.
10:25He was the only person
10:28in the long Edo period to wear the mask.
10:32Why did Okitsugu become so famous?
10:39The reason is that he was loved
10:42by many other shoguns.
10:46Among them, the 9th shogun,
10:49Ieshige, who served for 17 years,
10:52trusted Okitsugu completely.
10:55For 30 years,
10:58he led the Tanuma family
11:01and studied Okitsugu.
11:04According to Mr. Sekine,
11:07there was a special relationship
11:10between Okitsugu and Ieshige.
11:20As you know,
11:23Okitsugu was a man of freedom
11:26and his language was unclear.
11:29Only Okitsugu's senior,
11:32Oka Tadamitsu,
11:35who was close to Okitsugu,
11:38was able to communicate with him.
11:44Okitsugu had a political sense
11:47and was able to give him
11:50a reasonable answer.
11:54Okitsugu trusted Ieshige
11:57from the bottom of his heart.
12:04Okitsugu had a big chance.
12:11He was entrusted with the trial
12:14of the Gujo-han.
12:18In addition to the Gujo-han,
12:21Okitsugu also had to deal with
12:24the government officials.
12:27Okitsugu didn't hesitate
12:30to punish the elderly
12:33and the young.
12:41Okitsugu was called
12:45the inventor of Okitsugu.
12:54Ieshige spent his whole life
12:57studying Okitsugu.
13:00Just before he died,
13:03he said this about Okitsugu.
13:06You are a man of the sword.
13:09You should use your heart
13:12to serve the people.
13:15He was a man of the sword
13:18and a man of integrity.
13:21I think it is a great virtue
13:24for a shogun to use such words
13:27to his subordinates.
13:30It is thanks to Okitsugu
13:33that the shogun was able
13:36to become the shogun.
13:39After Ieshige, Okitsugu became
13:42the shogun of Ieharu.
13:45Since the beginning of the shogunate,
13:48Okitsugu has been in charge
13:51of all the affairs of Ieharu.
13:54Okitsugu was in charge
13:57of both the shogun's servants
14:00and the shogun's servants.
14:03There were four servants
14:06who were in charge of the shogun's servants.
14:09One of them was fired.
14:12This was a moment of power concentration.
14:15This was the beginning
14:18of Okitsugu's rampage.
14:21Okitsugu became very powerful,
14:24but he was jealous of the other shoguns.
14:27He was jealous of the other shoguns.
14:30Okitsugu started a great reform
14:33of the shogunate.
14:38At this time, the shogunate's financial situation
14:41was in a crisis.
14:44The financial difficulties of the shogunate
14:47could not be solved with a constriction policy.
14:50The shogunate was in a crisis
14:53due to the increase in taxes.
14:56The shogunate was in a crisis
14:59due to the increase in taxes.
15:02What was the revolutionary policy
15:05that Okitsugu took?
15:23When the tax system,
15:26such as the Shogunate, was at its limit,
15:29what was the policy that Okitsugu took?
15:32We asked Okada,
15:35an economic critic of the Tokugawa Shogunate.
15:38We asked Okada,
15:41an economic critic of the Tokugawa Shogunate.
15:44We focused on the new economic development.
15:47We developed the economy
15:50and took tax from it.
15:53We aimed to diversify the tax revenue.
15:58Okitsugu connected private economic activities
16:01such as commerce and distribution
16:04to the income of the shogunate.
16:07to the income of the shogunate.
16:10The first policy of Okitsugu was
16:13the promotion of joint-stock companies.
16:16The first thing that caught the eye
16:19of the shogunate was the small businessmen.
16:22of the shogunate was the small businessmen.
16:25The shogunate formed a joint-stock company
16:28with them.
16:31Instead of recognizing the exclusive rights of the businessmen,
16:34the shogunate gave them a subsidy.
16:40The second policy was the unification of the shogunate.
16:43The second policy was the unification of the shogunate.
16:46The shogunate was divided into two parts,
16:49the Kinto in Edo and the Gin in Osaka.
16:52the Kinto in Edo and the Gin in Osaka.
16:55Okitsugu came up with the idea.
16:58Okitsugu came up with the idea.
17:01This is the silversmith called
17:04Nanryo Nishugin issued by Okitsugu Tanuma.
17:07This is the silversmith called Nanryo Nishugin issued by Okitsugu Tanuma.
17:10The letters are written here.
17:13Nanryo can be exchanged with Hachihen or Hachihira
17:16Nanryo can be exchanged with Hachihen or Hachihira
17:19for one Koban.
17:22for one Koban.
17:25With these eight silversmiths,
17:28they can be exchanged with one Koban.
17:31they can be exchanged with one Koban.
17:34Okitsugu created a revolutionary currency
17:37that unites the western economy.
17:40that unites the western economy.
17:45He also plans to trade with Russia
17:48and works on the development of the Edo area.
17:51and works on the development of the Edo area.
17:55This is what Oishi thinks.
17:58This is what Oishi thinks.
18:01Yoshimune and Sadanobu
18:02Yoshimune and Sadanobu
18:05Yoshimune and Sadanobu
18:11Yoshimune and Sadanobu
18:21Okitsugu did not have a big power
18:24but he never praised it.
18:27but he never praised it.
18:30He always asked people
18:33He didn't ask for money or respect.
18:35Instead, he hated hard-headedness and joked around.
18:40He couldn't be separated from anyone.
18:44He was very popular as an old beast.
18:51He's the kind of person who makes you want to be a finance minister.
19:00One of Okitsugu's most famous policies was to introduce a new currency called Nanryo Nishugin.
19:08Until the mid-Edo period, Kansai and Kanto had a currency called Kinka.
19:12In Kansai, silver was the main currency for trading.
19:16So when trading across the east and west, you had to make an exception.
19:22The price of gold and silver fluctuated, so merchants traded while looking at the price.
19:29As a result, you had to make an exception.
19:32That's interesting.
19:33Even though it's the same country, there's a difference between euros and dollars.
19:39Okitsugu realized that the economy was stagnant because of this.
19:43He decided to break the foundation of the East and West by distributing Nanryo Nishugin to stabilize the market.
19:52With the Kabunakama system, the distribution of Nanryo Nishugin, and the export-export strategy,
19:59Okitsugu recreated the wealth of the Edo period with these three pillars.
20:03In the first half of the Edo period, Okitsugu was able to store more than 3 million ryo.
20:10So Okitsugu's achievements were huge.
20:13I see.
20:14I thought Okitsugu was saving money and protecting the economy.
20:22But Okitsugu's reform was aggressive and dynamic.
20:27I think he's a genius.
20:30There were other ways to do it.
20:34There was a venture capital group called Kanjosho.
20:38That's not the name of the group.
20:40It's called YUTO now.
20:43They wanted to invest in various projects from the outside world.
20:51They were called YAMASHI.
20:53YAMASHI.
20:54YAMASHI has a bad meaning now.
20:57Yes, it's like a gambler.
20:59But it wasn't like that at the time.
21:03It's more like a company now.
21:06In YAMASHI, there was Hiragana Gennai, famous for the restoration of Erikiteru.
21:11YAMASHI was the company that made the TANUMA policy.
21:16YAMASHI was a private company.
21:19It was a company that used the power of the people.
21:23I see.
21:24But it was misunderstood that YAMASHI was doing it to increase the government's revenue.
21:31At that time, there were many people who thought that rice was the only source of wealth.
21:37And Okitsugu's activities were like a gamble.
21:41This created a big misunderstanding.
21:44With Okitsugu's economic policy, the situation in Edo is getting better.
21:49I feel that it has influenced the way of life of children in Edo.
21:57It is said that the TANUMA era was the time when the Edo culture was mature.
22:02In the TANUMA era, kabuki, yukioe, kyoka, and gesaku were very popular.
22:10Not only that, but also the spirit of Yoshihara was created.
22:21It is said that the TANUMA era was the time when the Japanese created the spirit of Yoshihara.
22:27It is said that the TANUMA era was the time when the Japanese created the spirit of Yoshihara.
22:34The TANUMA era has a big impact.
22:38When things are going well, you should be careful not to be complacent or cautious about your actions.
22:46When things are going well, you should be careful not to be complacent or cautious about your actions.
22:52Okitsugu has acquired a position that everyone is envious of.
22:57However, there will be more and more events that will shake his overwhelming power.
23:04It is a countdown from the top to the bottom.
23:10The free economic policy, which has broken the old system, is beginning to be distorted.
23:20It's great that new merchants are coming in, but at the same time, the gap is widening.
23:29We need to take care of the poor and the underprivileged.
23:36We need to make the safety net more and more abundant.
23:40Otherwise, politics won't work.
23:44The people are starting to complain about Okitsugu, who has brought the society to a standstill.
23:53The people were not the only ones who were dissatisfied with Okitsugu.
23:59The feudal lords of the Go-san family, Go-san-kyo, and Monbatsu, who monopolized power and dominated the traditional values of samurai, were infuriating.
24:14In 1779, General Ieharu's son, Iemoto, suddenly fell ill and died on his way home from hunting.
24:34Rumor has it that Okitsugu killed Iemoto.
24:39Of course, this was not the truth.
24:44Okitsugu had no merit.
24:46I think this is one of the evidences that Okitsugu had a lot of enemies.
24:54The opposition had something to do with Okitsugu's death.
24:59The opposition started to point their fangs at Okitsugu.
25:08While the dissatisfaction of the people was growing, Japan was hit by a serious crisis.
25:14The Japanese government was in a state of war with Japan.
25:19The Japanese government was in a state of war with Japan.
25:26There were 900,000 people, including Gassha, Myoshi, and Issetsu.
25:31This was a great crisis.
25:35At that time, the Tempen government thought that the Japanese government was doing a bad thing.
25:43The Tanuma government was criticized by the Japanese government.
25:48However, Okitsugu could not find a solution to the long-standing crisis.
25:55He could not find a solution to the long-standing crisis.
26:01In the midst of the chaos, Okitsugu appointed his son Okitomo as the head of the family, Wakadoshi.
26:13He was not just a father and son, but a father and son.
26:20The Japanese government was more and more critical of Okitsugu's power.
26:25He was a calm and dignified man.
26:31I think he knew that the Japanese government was going to rebel.
26:34But he thought that if he kept his promise, his policies would not be able to continue.
26:39He wanted to liberate Japan. He wanted to liberalize Japan.
26:42His son had to do that.
26:44Otherwise, Japan would go back to the way it was.
26:48Even if I am hated, I do not care if it is to improve the country.
26:57However, this force creates tragedy.
27:03Okitsugu's son, Okitomo, was assassinated in Edo Castle.
27:17The murderer was Masakoto Sano.
27:24The reason for the crime was a grudge that the Sano family was taken over.
27:32However, the public did not sympathize with the victim, the Taguma family.
27:39They applauded the murderer, Sano.
27:47There is a grave of Sano in Asakusa.
27:54This is the grave of Masakoto, the predecessor of Sano.
28:00Masakoto, the predecessor of Sano, was called Yonaoshi Daimyojin.
28:06At that time, a lot of people came to him.
28:09The smoke of the flash never stopped.
28:13Immediately after the incident, the price of rice was reduced.
28:19Sano was treated as a hero, Yonaoshi Daimyojin.
28:29The dissatisfaction with Tanuma politics was approaching its limit.
28:36To change the direction of the wind, you have to make great achievements in politics.
28:43The project to make it possible is...
28:50Inbanuma's Kantaku business.
28:55If it succeeds, a vast temple will be built,
28:59and a large amount of rice will be brought to Edo by Isunichi.
29:08Its completion was approaching.
29:16Inbanuma's Kantaku business blew away the dissatisfaction of the people.
29:20Its completion was approaching.
29:25However, the great flood of Mizo, which occurred just before its completion,
29:31washed away the dream.
29:37I thought I was one step away.
29:40I thought I would be able to make great achievements in politics.
29:45But then the flood came.
29:47I felt like I was in the middle of nowhere.
29:55In the midst of this, General Ieharu fell ill and died suddenly.
30:03On this occasion, Okitsugu was chased by an old beast.
30:10At this time, there was also a rumor that Okitsugu had poisoned the general.
30:18It is a rumor that Okitsugu's medicine caused Ieharu to die.
30:28There is a letter of Okitsugu's heart-screaming.
30:39I don't remember killing my father.
30:43I don't remember killing my father.
30:49Mr. Sasahara of Tokyo University of Science and Technology,
30:53who has written a lot about Okitsugu,
30:58talks about the rumor of his death.
31:04Sometimes I don't realize it, but I want to tell it.
31:07Sometimes I don't realize it, but I want to tell it.
31:11The reason why fake news is spread and shared is not necessarily because it is deceived.
31:17I think it's because I want to tell it.
31:23The information that the general was poisoned and assassinated,
31:28which aroused curiosity, spread all over Edo in no time.
31:33It caused great damage to Okitsugu.
31:36There are rumors about Okitsugu, but he says it's not his fault.
31:42He says it's not his fault.
31:44I think he wants Okitsugu to go to the farm again.
31:49I think he wants Okitsugu to go to the farm again.
31:52I think he wants Okitsugu to go to the farm again.
31:57Okitsugu was still working for the Wakfu,
32:01even though he was heavily poisoned.
32:06There was a book for the Shogun family,
32:10which led him from Hatamoto to Rouju.
32:18The Kanryos of the Tanuma faction, who remained in the Wakfu,
32:23started to move towards Okitsugu's restoration.
32:28However...
32:36A large-scale shootout took place in Edo.
32:40The Tanuma faction was defeated, and the Jikken was in the hands of the opposition.
32:47After that, Sadanobu of the Matsudaira faction became the head of Rouju.
32:55Sadanobu said he would take full responsibility for Okitsugu,
32:59who had already been exterminated,
33:03and started a further shootout.
33:11He recruited Sagarajo and executed him.
33:16The Tanuma faction was transferred to Mutsu-Shimogura-Ishimangoku.
33:22With this, Okitsugu's political life was completely destroyed.
33:31Okitsugu was completely defeated.
33:37Because of the large-scale shootout,
33:42there is also a conspiracy theory that the opposition was the one who led the shootout.
33:51There was no way for Okitsugu to do anything.
33:57The reason for the defeat of the Tanuma faction
34:01is that he was defeated politically.
34:06But more fundamentally,
34:10he was free to do whatever he wanted.
34:15As a result of his economic policies,
34:19the common people criticized his politics.
34:23They called him a scoundrel and a bully.
34:27That's how his political life ended.
34:32Mr. Sekine believes that Okitsugu's defeat
34:36was due to a lack of consensus with the higher-ups.
34:43In order for things to go well,
34:47you need to put the powerful factions on your side.
34:54You don't have to protest against that.
34:58You just need to do what you need to do.
35:05If you protest against that, you'll be crushed.
35:11Okitsugu lost everything.
35:17Fake news and conspiracy theories.
35:21It's like watching a modern news program.
35:25There's a lot to say about Okitsugu.
35:31He lost his political life
35:34because of fake news and conspiracy theories.
35:38He was an unfortunate politician.
35:41He was not only unfortunate,
35:44but also had a natural disaster
35:47such as the Asamayama eruption,
35:50the Tenmei Daikikin, and the Tone River.
35:54I think he was really unfortunate.
35:57Normally, people sympathize with Okitomo's death.
36:01But in this case, it's like saying,
36:04look at Taiwan.
36:06I feel sorry for him.
36:08When Masakoto killed Okitomo,
36:11he chased him and cut his back many times.
36:15There were many people around him.
36:19But no one tried to stop him.
36:22The people who were there
36:25made Masakoto kill Okitomo.
36:28Okitsugu was born in Japan.
36:31But he was hated by the people.
36:34He was hated by the people.
36:37I think we can say that
36:40Tanuma Seiji was crushed by jealousy.
36:44But I don't think Okitsugu lost everything.
36:50Here is Jun Ito's point of view
36:53from the point of view of a historian.
36:59For example, he was finally deposed
37:02in the late 15th century.
37:05But he was able to resign.
37:08He was not hated by the people.
37:11And he was able to avoid
37:14being involved with the old.
37:17I think there were many ways
37:20to avoid being deposed.
37:23I was wondering why.
37:26I think Okitsugu was not taken seriously.
37:29He was not taken seriously.
37:32Or he was greedy.
37:35I think he was greedy.
37:38I think he was greedy.
37:42After a successful life,
37:45there is always a reaction.
37:48There is a feeling of envy
37:51behind the smile of the people.
37:56Okitsugu, who fell from the top of the planet,
37:59left a last message for his family
38:02even though he was finally deposed.
38:05Please take a look.
38:09In 1787,
38:12when Okitsugu's grandson was deposed
38:15to Musu-Shimomura,
38:18the remaining Sagara Castle was completely destroyed.
38:23Destroying the castle without a trace
38:26is a violent act that does not look good.
38:31This is not only jealousy of the people,
38:34but also by denying Okitsugu,
38:38it was to stabilize the government of Sadanobu.
38:47As the building collapsed,
38:52Okitsugu soon fell ill
38:55and died.
39:01What did Okitsugu think
39:04when he was deposed to Sadanobu?
39:07I think he died thinking that
39:10he was happy with his life
39:13because he was able to climb
39:16to a place where there was no more.
39:21Of course I regret it,
39:24but I think I had a sense of accomplishment
39:27that I had done so far.
39:30I think that the real officials
39:33were the ones who were in charge
39:36and led the students.
39:39I think I had a sense of accomplishment
39:42that I had done so far.
39:50Okitsugu had a wish for his family.
39:57He wanted to be close to people
40:00and not discriminate
40:03even among people of low status.
40:08He broke the old rules
40:11and made new reforms
40:14while being close to everyone.
40:17This is the philosophy of Okitsugu's life.
40:22Sadanobu, the late Matsudaira,
40:25changed Okitsugu's policy
40:28and entered a new era.
40:35In the city of Edo,
40:38there was a song like this.
40:41Shirakawa no kiyoki ni uomo sumikamete
40:46Moto no nigori no tanuma koishiki
40:49Shirakawa no kiyoki ni uomo sumikamete
40:52Moto no nigori no tanuma koishiki
40:57I think Okitsugu's words
41:00can be interpreted in many ways.
41:03You can hear it in the words
41:06that affirm his way of life.
41:09There's also a part that says
41:12you can't be like me.
41:15In the end, I think Okitsugu
41:18regained his authority.
41:21I wonder if there were people
41:24who tried to protect Okitsugu.
41:27It is said that people left Okitsugu
41:30after Okitomo was killed.
41:33It was especially cruel
41:36when people who were in a marriage
41:39betrothed Okitsugu's daughter
41:42Iwatsuki, Yoita, and Yokosuka
41:45were the ones who sent Okitsugu's daughter.
41:48Ayabe, Numazu, and Komono
41:51were the ones who sent Okitsugu's daughter.
41:54But Okitsugu's daughter was also
41:57betrothed to Okitsugu's daughter.
42:00There was a time when
42:03all four of Okitsugu's relatives
42:06were Okitsugu's relatives.
42:09It was a difficult time
42:12because you couldn't fight
42:15with just one spear.
42:18It was a difficult time
42:21because you couldn't fight
42:24with just one spear.
42:27What should Okitsugu have done
42:30to prevent his own defeat?
42:33His allies were getting farther away.
42:36I think he was reluctant to increase the number of allies.
42:39I think he was reluctant to increase the number of allies.
42:42There were many people who were
42:45in favor of the political path,
42:48but there were no allies.
42:51That's the big reason.
42:54Now, let's look at the lessons
42:57we should learn from the defeat of Okitsugu.
43:00Now, let's look at the lessons we should learn from the defeat of Okitsugu.
43:03I think that's what it means.
43:06Okitsugu had to monopolize the power
43:09of the Shogun
43:12because there were four Shogun generals.
43:15Okitsugu's son Okito was only 33 years old
43:18when he became a Shogun.
43:21The role of the Shogun
43:24is to give orders to the Shogun.
43:27The role of the Shogun
43:30is to give orders to the Shogun.
43:33The role of the Shogun
43:36is to give orders to the Shogun.
43:39Okito was like a young boy
43:42after 2 years.
43:45Okito monopolized the power of the Shogun.
43:48Okito monopolized the power of the Shogun.
43:51The Shogun had to do something.
43:54It was natural that the people around him
43:57If you exceed your limit, everyone around you will become your enemy.
44:01If you are not satisfied with just a few things, you will lose everything.
44:07This is the lesson learned from the defeat of Okitsugu.
44:16The image of Okitsugu changed a lot.
44:20He left a lot of lessons for us.
44:23He really left a lot of lessons.
44:26Next time, we will focus on the defeat of Sadanobu Matsudaira.
44:36By comparing Sadanobu Matsudaira with Tanuma,
44:42you can see what is different about their production and what kind of emotions they had.
44:48That's right.
44:50Ito-san, thank you for today.
44:55Lessons from the defeat of Okitsugu.
44:57See you next time.
