Okubo Chang 'an, the happy son of Saruga Kush Jin Chun air billow, was influenced by his father to learn ape music and master this art since childhood, and later became an official in Takeda Shingen, which was deeply appreciated by his father. Participated in mining, civil engineering and land inspection in Jiafei. Ten years after Takeda's family was destroyed, Chang 'an took refuge in Hejun and met Tokugawa Minister Okubo, a loyal neighbor. Because he loved music, he left Chang 'an with him and married his daughter, so Chang 'an changed his surname to Okubo, commonly known as Shi Bingwei.
Later, from the eighteenth year of Tianzheng to the eleventh year of Evergreen, Chang 'an was entrusted with an important task because of its outstanding political talent, and proved himself with excellent results. Therefore, he was successively promoted by the rulers at that time and was given the territory of 30 thousand stones by Konka. Chang 'an's official career also reached its peak here.
In the eighteenth year of Qing Dynasty, Chang 'an died of illness at the age of sixty-nine.
However, the fate of Chang 'an did not end with his death. Shortly after his death, he was found by the shogunate to be guilty of embezzling huge sums of money, having proper relationship with North Korea, ignoring the law and spreading Catholicism. He committed a heinous crime. So the seven descendants of Chang 'an were accused of caesarean section, and the bodies were dug up and beheaded. At the same time, the fief was closed, and all the people involved were implicated and changed by the shogunate. This was the "Okubo Chang 'an Incident" that caused an uproar in Japan at that time. However, there is another saying that Ben Duo Zheng Xin, the sworn enemy of Chang 'an, planned to frame Chang 'an.
Even if Chang 'an really committed such a crime, from the historical background, he still made great contributions to the economy of the shogunate and promoted the economic development of an era in Japan. He is a well-deserved historical figure.
The deeds of Okubo Chang 'an
If you want to know the story of Okubo Chang 'an, you should start from six stages. Through these six stages, we can better understand Okubo Chang 'an.
The first stage: Takeda era. At that time, his father, Da Zang Shinan, had been exiled to Jiafei and became the chief Saruga Cushi of Takeda Shingen at that time. After seeing Okubo Chang 'an, Shin promoted him to be a samurai and changed his surname to build a house as the strength of building a house in Changji. Xuan took a fancy to Chang 'an's management ability and planned to hand it over to him as a tax and general administrator for the development of mines such as Kurokawa Jinshan. Later, Chang 'an became a vassal of Takeda Shenglai.
The second stage: change the official position to Tokugawa. Ten years ago, after the death of Takeda's family, Okubo Changan was transferred to Tokugawa's family. Mainly responsible for the construction of Tokugawa Ieyasu's temporary residence in Garfield. Konka discovered his talents and hired them. With the development of things, Chang 'an became a loyal neighbor of Okubo, and his surname was changed to Okubo. 10 nobunaga died in June, and Garfield became the territory of Konka. When the country was in chaos, Konka ordered Ben Zheng Duo and Ina Tadatsugu to rebuild their internal affairs, which was actually completed by Okubo Changan. He built dikes, developed Xintian and exploited Jia Fei's Jinshan, and Jia Fei's politics finally returned to the right track.
The third stage: moving to Kanto. After Odahara War, Tokugawa Ieyasu was ordered to move to Kanto. Okubo Changan and others made a land register for Konka's reference. In the 19th year, Prince Konka Musashi gave him 8,000 stones of land. Actually, there are about 90,000 stones. Okubo Chang 'an built an array house in Bagongsu and started construction. In addition, Chang 'an plays a very important role in maintaining Musashi's public security and border defense for the health of Musashi's family. Therefore, it is allowed to form "eight princes, one thousand people".
The fourth stage: multiple jobs. In the fifth year of Qing Dynasty, the battle of Guanyuan broke out, and Okubo Chang 'an and others were responsible for logistics supply. After the war, Okubo Changan became the agent of Daiwa in September of the same year and was promoted in the last two months. In the spring of the sixth year of Qing Dynasty, Jia Fei and Shi Jian were appointed in August, and Song Hao was appointed as the acting official in September.
The fifth stage: power tilt for a period of time. Taking over many positions, Okubo Changan's power gradually expanded. His seven sons married the daughters of Yasuhiro Ishikawa and Ikeda Terumasa respectively. Because of its great power and connections, Okubo Chang 'an was called "the chief acting official in the world", and formed the Okubo School, which launched a power struggle with Benduo School. The previous victory made the Okubo faction shine. The sixth stage: the elderly lose their rights. In his later years, he fell out of favor, was relieved of his official position, and his wife died, so many blows overwhelmed him. Finally, he died in Chang 'an, Okubo, at the age of 69. After his death, he was accused, his family was implicated, and his body was exposed to the public as an example.
The story of Okubo Chang 'an is really sad. He had a brilliant experience, but in the end he got a tragic ending.
