I don't know if you are watching the new "Pingjia Story", people who have seen it should be able to find that the characters in this series are inextricably linked to some of the followers in FGO, to be precise, whether it is Pingjia Story or Fgo, they are cut off from the same history and adapted into a story.
The difference is that the Tale of the Heike family is narrated from the perspective of the Hira family, while the story of fgo is more from the perspective of Genji. But it is precisely because both sides are cut from a piece of history. Today, Big Cat Jun wants to use these two stories to tell the story of the Genji Heishi dispute, which is very famous in Japanese history.
The Japanese Imperial Family is a very rare imperial family that has not died since ancient times. And unlike most families who pride themselves on their surnames, Japanese imperial families do not have a surname, and this rule continues to this day. The so-called Genji and Heishi, if you really want to trace it back, are in the same vein. They were the same surnames that the Japanese imperial family acquired when they were granted their citizenship. Specifically, Genji generally conferred on the crown prince, imperial daughter, and imperial grandson, while the Hei clan mostly gave to the descendants of the imperial grandson, in other words, the status of the Genji was higher than that of the Hei clan.
Genji's lineage can also be regarded as a long history, in the Heian period of Japan, Kiyowa Genji was a talented person at that time, Genrai hikari's father Genmanchu helped establish the regency politics of the Fujiwara Kita family, Genrai Hikari himself was in an important position in the Heian period, and the people also praised him a lot, and his deeds of commanding the Four Heavenly Kings of Lai Kwang to fight against the youkai came from this period. The original fictional Sakata Kaneshi really existed because of Genrai Hikari, in a sense, Genrai hikari is really Sakata Kaneshi's mother.
Incidentally, fgo also landed a number of followers of this period, such as the Aome Takemai Blowing Boy of The Golden Age, and her other side of the Wine Swallow Boy, the Wine Swallow Boy's nemesis Ibaraki Boy, and watanabe Gang, one of the four heavenly kings of Lai Guang, who had an ambiguous relationship with the Ibaraki Boy, and finally The Two of Lu Mo Daoman and Tamaki Mae.
As for Pingshi, there is no shortage of excellent people. The first thing that emerged was the flat door that dared to start a new stove. He was also a bold man, and actually dared to raise an army in the absence of chaos, calling himself the new emperor, but unfortunately he was not strong enough, and eventually he was defeated, and the Hei family was also greatly reduced in his strength, and once fell behind in the confrontation with Genji.
The rise of the Heike family was led by a warrior named Hei Masamori, who was originally the leader of the local Hao clan and had great strength in the Ise region, but because he had suppressed the power of genji in the local area, he was greatly rewarded by the emperor at that time, and the emperor also allowed his family to settle in western Japan, because there was a great profit in trade with China. Since then, the power of the Ping clan has grown day by day.
After Ping Zhengsheng, the Ping family also produced two outstanding pawns, Ping Zhongsheng and Ping Qingsheng, especially Ping Qingsheng, who can be said to have pushed the Ping family to the peak of power, but at the same time, it was also because of his arrogance that the Ping family pushed the Ping family step by step into the abyss. The Ping Qingsheng mentioned here is the Owner of the Ping Family in the Tale of the Ping Family.
At the end of the Heian period, the Shounaga Rebellion broke out in Japan, and the two major samurai groups, Genji and Heiji, began a large-scale conflict. The war ended with the victory of the Hei clan, the defeated Genji was greatly reviled, the Genji samurai Genyoshi dynasty, who was led by genji, was killed, and his son Genrai dynasty was exiled to Izu.
After this battle, the Hei family completely controlled the situation, and the leader of the Hei clan, Hira Kiyomori, was promoted to the position of minister of taizheng in 1167, and many important positions in the court were also held by the Hei family. It is worth mentioning that Hira Kiyomori's eldest son, Hira Shigemori, unlike his father, had great respect for the Then Emperor Go-Shirakawa and strictly observed the courtesy of his subordinates when facing him. It was precisely because he acted as a lubricant between the Emperor and Hei Kiyomori that the two remained at peace for a while.
Unfortunately, Ping Chongsheng, who was sandwiched between the two, was embarrassed by the two ends, because he did not want to see the arrival of the day of the ping family's defeat, he even prayed to the god Buddha to take away his Yangshou. Sure enough, soon after this, he died and put his wife and children in an even more difficult situation.
Unlike the wise and courageous Hirashigemori, The second heir of Hira Chyung-sheng, Hira Mun-sheng, was a clumsy disciple who only knew how to spend days and wine. Although Heisei Saw this clearly, because he did not want to cause turmoil, he chose Tokihito instead of Ritsuhito on the issue of heirs, although Heisei's two younger brothers were much stronger than him.
In 1179, Hirashigemori died of illness, and Emperor Go-Shirakawa took back the Echizen Kingdom of Hirashigemori, which caused dissatisfaction among the head of the Hira clan, Hira Kiyomori, who was keenly aware that Emperor Go-Shirakawa wanted to attack the Hira clan, so he preemptively forced Emperor Takakura in 1180 and installed his 2-year-old grandson Prince Yanjin to succeed to the throne as Emperor Ande, and the power of the Heian family reached its peak.
However, after the peak, it was followed by a downward spiral, and the princes and nobles who were dissatisfied with the power of the Ping family began to contact genji, who was defeated but still had considerable strength at the behest of Emperor Go-Shirakawa. Soon, in April 1180, the third son of Emperor Go-Shirakawa, who was known as Emperor Go-Shirakawa, conspired with Genrai Masamune of the Regent Genji clan under the false title of "Prince of the Most Victorious", and secretly sent the Genji (Genyoshi's younger brother), who was living in seclusion in Kumano, to send a message to genji to the whole country to solicit the Hei clan. Unfortunately, their actions were only discovered by Ping Qingsheng at the beginning. The Hei clan soon sent troops to recruit and completely defeated the Unconventional Genji rebels.
However, even if the Ping clan sent troops in time to requisition, the Genji forces scattered in various places still raised troops one after another under the order of emperor Houbaihe to negotiate peace, and their leader was the Genrai dynasty of the Genji clan in Hanoi. Soon after gense raised an army, another branch of the Genji clan, Kiso Yoshinaka, also rose, and he was also the husband of Ba Mizumae in Fgo.
On March 21, 1181, the leader of the Ping family, Ping Qingsheng, died of illness, which cast another layer of shadow on the Already stormy Ping family. Hein Kiyomori was succeeded by his second son, Heisei Jong-sheng. Due to their limited abilities, the Hirahi family began to decline after this, and was soon driven out of Kyoto by Genyoshi Zhong due to the fiasco of the Battle of The Soul Garo, and fled with the young Emperor Ande and the Three Artifacts.
However, Yuan Yizhong, who succeeded in Shangluo, did not gain great power and gain the hearts of the people, on the contrary, because his soldiers did not observe military discipline, wantonly robbed the grain of the kyoto civilians, and quickly lost the hearts of the people, many people began to hope in their hearts that the Yuan Lai Dynasty would be able to enter Beijing to quell the rebellion.
On the other hand, Genrai Dynasty, who was recuperating in the Kanto region, further strengthened its strength and reunited with his half-brother Gen Yoshikei. Under the leadership of this brave and matchless general, the combat effectiveness of the Yuanlai Dynasty army was further improved. Seeing that Kiso Yoshinaka's forces were at odds with the Nobles of Kyoto, he began to raise an army and march towards Kyoto.
On November 19, 1183, Kiso Yoshinaka staged a coup d'état, put the Emperor under house arrest after the Battle of Hojuji, and relieved the regent Konoe Kitsu and several of the Emperor's close subjects, and appointed himself as the General of the Imperial Household, and then began to conquer the Genrai Dynasty, but unfortunately, the Genrai Dynasty at this time was stronger than Kiso Yoshinaka. Under the command of Gen Yoshinori, Kiso Yoshinaka's army was defeated, and Kiso Yoshinaka tried to flee to Hokuriku, but was intercepted and killed in Omi Agutsu. It was during this period that Ba Yu mae was separated from Kiso Yoshinaka, so he fled into the empty gate and waited for someone who would not appear.
Even as the two Genji forces were fighting, the Hira clan was not idle, and they took the opportunity to recover some of their territory, and by January 1184, the forces had returned to the area around Settsu Fukuhara. After cleaning up Kiso Yoshinaka, Genrai Dynasty finally freed his hands to prepare to clean up the Hirashi. Yuan Lai dynasty fate Yuan Fan Lai and Yuan Yijing marched into Fukuhara. The two soldiers attacked the Ping army in two ways, and defeated the forces of Ping Zisheng and Ping Yousheng in one fell swoop, but then the two armies fell into a stalemate and won or lost against each other.
It was in this situation that Genyoshi Yoshikō boldly adopted the method of attacking the west from the east, and ordered Yasuda Yoshiding to lead 10,000 horses to attack The Heijiao Sutra and Hei shengjun of Yumeno, while he himself only led more than 40 horses into the mountains and detoured back to the rear of the Heijia Honjin. This move really worked, and the Ping family did not expect that the Yuan Yijing would be so bold, so the battle was chaotic, and the casualties were heavy. After this battle, the Hei family was seriously injured, and many people were killed and captured in the battle of the leading troops, and they were no longer able to fight with Genji.
However, after this battle, Yuan Yijing, who had made great contributions, also began to be suspected by his brother Yuan Laichao. Not only did he not reward him, but he was left in Kyoto, which was very cold. In September 1184, Yuan Lai Chao deliberately snubbed Yuan Yijing and assigned Yuan Fan Lai to requisition the Ping family, but Yuan Fan Lai was incompetent and was soon defeated by the Ping family. In desperation, Yuan Lai Chao had no choice but to use the Yuan Yi Jing again.
In February 1185, Genyoshi led an expedition and the Battle of Yashima officially began. The two sides can be regarded as evenly matched in coming and going, but unfortunately, at the critical moment, the Hei family mistakenly believed in the information of the source Fan Lai leading the army to reinforce, and chose to withdraw from Yajima and directly sent the Seto Inland Sea to each other. As a result, morale within the Heishi clique was greatly reduced, and the water forces such as Kono Communications, as well as the samurai cliques of China and Shikoku, also surrendered to Genji.
The Ping family finally ushered in a situation of exhaustion, and then the decisive battle of Tanzhipu that broke out later, in fact, there was not much suspense, the Ping family was defeated, and the generals of Ping Zisheng, Ping Yousheng, Ping Jingsheng, Ping Jiaojing, and Parallel Sheng were thrown into the sea one after another and died. The General of the Ping clan, Who had been active in the battle, Ping Jingqing, managed to escape and defected to his uncle Ōhnichi. Unfortunately, not long after, Ōhnichi was assassinated, and Hira Kyung-ching was betrayed and arrested, and in March of the following year, Hira Kyung-ching committed suicide by hunger strike.
At this point, the Heike family was completely destroyed, and the long-lasting dispute between the Hira clan and Genji came to an end, and genji finally laughed to the end, and then the Genrai dynasty established the first shogunate in Japanese history, the Kamakura shogunate, after eradicating the thorn in genji's eye, the Kamakura shogunate.
Since then, the Japanese emperor has completely become a mascot, and Japanese history has entered the shogunate era, which was respected by the shogunate. It is worth mentioning that even in the later Sengoku period, daimyōs all over Japan were actually members of genji, especially Tokugawa Ieyasu, who even considered himself a descendant of Kiyoshi Genji, which is why Hirakei Kiyoshi, who was a collection of Heishi's grievances, hated the Sengoku period followers so much.
