Mao Tinggang Yuan, from Astronomy 18 (1549) to Kuanyong 17(164), was born in Saemon, Yanyuan, Shijian and Liaoan.
the son of the ghost court. Later, he was ordered by Taige Hideyoshi to restore his old surname Maoting. He is the Chief Cabinet Secretary of Ida's family.
According to legend, Gang Yuan is a very generous person. When Shiro Wada, the enemy warrior who killed his father Zuo Yuezhai in the battle of taking the bridge, was captured and sent to him, Gang Yuan unexpectedly released Shiro. He said, "Killing prisoners is a disgrace to the samurai!" By the way, did the Japanese army in the war of aggression against China ever think about the deeds of this ancestor when they carried out the Nanjing Massacre and other killings? ) Shiro Wada was moved by Gang Yuan and became the retainer of Gang Yuan.
In the 14th year of Tianzheng, Gang Yuan was appointed as the leader of the Yida family and renamed as "Shijian"; The following year, he was awarded 5 stones of Zhixing. In the autumn of the 18th year (159), a slap riot broke out in the territory of Ida. Taige Hideyoshi Sect monitored the name of Zhengzong in Huijin. Pusheng Township suspected that the riots were provoked by Zhengzong, and Xiang Xiu Ji wrote a letter to slander Zhengzong. In order to relieve this crisis, Gang Yuan went to Los Angeles with Zheng Zong, and showed his diplomatic skills, helping Zheng Zong to make a successful defense in front of Xiuji, so that the Ida family could survive the crisis again.
If Katakura Kagetsuna and Yida in the "Three Heroes of Ida" are really the right-hand man of the political Sect in the military, the ghost court is the pillar that the political Sect relies on in the internal affairs. Gang Yuan is also an elegant person who is proficient in harmony songs, calligraphy and tea ceremony. Taige Hideyoshi often asks him to perform in his own home, and lures him away from the political Sect on the condition that he gives Gang Yuan his house in Kyoto. But Gang Yuan refused.
In the first year of Wenlu, Liangzhi paid a visit to Toyotomi Hideyoshi in Kyoto and was given the original surname of "Maoting", which means "family prosperity". The following year, when Data Masamune sent troops to North Korea with Taige Hideyoshi, Gang Yuan set up the station of Ida's family in order to ensure the supply of grain, hay and equipment in Feiqian (Saga County), and was solely responsible for the supply of Zhengzongjun. He accomplished the task very well and ensured that no one in Zheng Zongjun starved to death.
During this period, Taige Hideyoshi appreciated his ability and gave his concubine Xiang Ji to Gang Yuan. However, because the stunning Xiangji was once the envy of the political Sect, Gang Yuan's move aroused the anger of the political Sect, and Yu Wenlu was driven out of Ida's house in 1595. Later, he dedicated Xiangji to Zhengzong and was allowed to return to Ida's house again. Xiangji became the wing room of Zhengzong, and gave birth to a son Genli Zonggen and a daughter Jin Duo (according to legend, she is actually Gangyuan's own daughter). After Jin Duo's daughter married the son of Ida's family minister Harada Zongshi, she gave birth to Harada Jiafei Zongfu, the protagonist of "Ida Riot".
Since then, Gang Yuan has been serving as the country's senior citizen in Ida's home. When he resigned and retired, he was still awarded a territory of 1, stone for providing for the aged. In the 5th year of Qing Chang, Gang Yuan was ordered to direct the war against Uesugi Kagekatsu, and was responsible for attacking Tangwon City (Qiヶ Sumachi). In 1623 (Yuanhe 9), three generations of Tokugawa shogunate generals, Jiaguang, imposed laws prohibiting the spread of Christianity all over the country, and Gang Yuan was appointed as Sendai's vassal, responsible for handling the affairs of Christians changing their religious beliefs and suppressing Christian riots. At the same time, he recommended Hasekura Rokuemon Tsunenaga's visit to Europe to Zhengzong, and later used his position of "changing the clan to practice" to protect Chang Chang who returned alone (Hasekura Rokuemon Tsunenaga is a Christian, please refer to my book "Celebrating the Long Mission to Europe" for details).
After more than 1 years as a country elder, Gang Yuan resigned and lived in seclusion, and supported the aged with 1 Shi Zhixing. On May 24th, Kuanyong 17th (164), on the fourth anniversary of Data Masamune's death, Gang Yuan died at the age of 92 in Wenzi Village, Kurihara Prefecture. He was born 18 years earlier than Zhengzong and died 4 years later. He witnessed the birth, growth, fighting, aging and death of Zhengzong. His contribution to the Ida family was not only in the war during the Warring States Period, but also in the internal affairs and diplomacy of Sendai Francisco after the establishment of Tokugawa shogunate. Therefore, he was recognized by later generations as the "Three Heroes of Ida" together with Katakura Kagetsuna and Iraq. After his death, Gang Yuan was buried in Dongquanyuan, hence the name "An". His eldest son, Liangyuan, later became an official in Data Masamune and loyal to the Sect in succession as a country veteran. He was an important official who participated in the national politics, and he had 13, stones of knowledge and action in Songshan (now Matsuyama-CHO), Zhitian County.
