This is because it will not create a blank period of security (even in terms of the number of people of course). It is the same meaning as Soviet troops entering Manchuria County in the end of World War II. Of course it is include "ATTACK".

cross

"'Don't worry、I was the one who taught the Mikado horse riding.' That's what Nakayama-san told me." 

Okubo said with a smile.

"What will their families do？"

"It seems that Princess Ichijo's wet nurse was from a prominent family in Tanba Sasayama、so it was decided that everyone would take refuge there."

"But then、wouldn't Okami be burdened with unfair slander、saying 

'Maybe someone in a responsible position would be the first to run away？'"

"Whatever action you takethere、there will always be criticism.

You know that very well.

Of course、the timing of its implementation will require careful consideration、but the reality is that the Emperor must suddenly disappear from Kyoto、and we cannot leave his family there.

Well、once the Choshu troops actually entered Kyoto、everyone would be busy evacuating and no one would care about such a thing."

When the shogunate ministers、led by Tokugawa Yoshinobu、who was in Nijo Castle in Kyoto、tried to immediately implement a plan to withdraw all the shogunate forces stationed in Kyoto、including Aizu and Kuwana、to Osaka as an official shogunate action (there were already many cases of conflict in Kyoto City、including deaths caused by fights between samurai of the Aizu clan and Satsuma clan)、the Choshu forces landed at Hyogo Port "to apologize to the Imperial Court" and continued to remain there、but the Imperial Court issued a formal decree ordering the Choshu clan to "immediately enter Kyoto in order to defend the Imperial Castle".

"With this、our troop strength will be 6,000. We will have 3,000 in reserve and for the defense of key locations、and about 3,000 will be available for deployment on the front lines in the Osaka area.

In response、if Aizu and Kuwana joined the Shogunate forces at Osaka Castle、 would their total military strength be around 30,000？

We must assume that the enemy forces have an effective combat force of 20,000、including over 10,000 soldiers equipped with the latest weapons.

I don't think they learned anything from their defeat in the battle with Choshu、but if、for example、3,000 soldiers with old weapons were to launch a flanking tactic against us、it would create a very serious situation."

"It may have been Emperor Kanmu's will that Heian Kyoto City、the royal castle、be the worst place in terms of defense.

However、this is extremely troublesome for us (lol)."

"Yoshinaka kou probably suffered from the same problem.

Ichizo、I won't run away."

"What？"

"Even if it is a planned defeat、a rearguard is necessary for a smooth retreat、right？

I will be in charge of sutegamari along with 1,000 old-fashioned soldiers、and you should leave the front line safely and prepare for the real battle ahead."

"Saigo！

'So now it's my turn to take on the role of Ashikaga Takauji？

I'll definitely see it through.'

When Okami himself is about to fight this war with this determination、you don't have such petty thoughts、right？"

"Ichizo、what do you think about Tokugawa Yoshinobu？"

"He is a representative of the old-fashioned forces that must be defeated for the sake of a new Japan."

"Yes、I think so too.

By the way、what do you personally think of Tokugawa Yoshinobu？"

"It's the same、of course."

"I think he is doing a good job for Japan in his own way、including the recent withdrawal of troops to Osaka.

But、of course、the idea remains that he represents an enemy that must be defeated."

"Saigo、is that why you think you're going to die dating Yoshinobu？

Come to think of it、the first time you spoke privately with Nariakira kou was about the possibility of Hitotsubashi Yoshinobu.

Saigo、that sentimentality is nonsense.

You are now the de facto commander of the Revolutionary Army、and there is no way that you will be allowed to accompany Yoshinobu and others to hell！"

"No、as long as you、Katsura-san、and the young people are here、everything will be fine.

I'm sure Gessho Osho will praise me for standing in the same position as him、when the situation is moving so far toward realizing our dreams."

"Saigo、perhaps you are underestimating us？

The reason we recognize you as our leader is because we believe、at the risk of our lives、that you are qualified to be our leader.

We will never allow you to die in such a cheap way."

"Win is fine、right？"

Okubo said this and stood up、as if to stop Saigo from saying something.

"And、Kichinosuke-saa、 Katsura-san's current name is Kido."

After a while of Sakamoto and Ito assassination.
The Restoration had been declared.
　
"The Restoration is established now.
But it can not be said that it has real substance yet.
Ｗe must change the system that lasted 300 years.
If we waste spend the time、Japan will fall into the now more confusion.
Yes we must war against the Tokugawa.
We should put out the pus of Japan at once by it."
Okubo of Satsuma said so.

Iwakura also had the same opinion.

High-ranking aristocratics until then.
They were excluded from the new government by notification.　

・・・・・・・・・

Perhaps Yoshinobu noticed it.　

”In order to avoid unnecessary confusion.”
He did withdrawal of Tokugawa forces from Kyoto to Osaka.
　
Shinsengumi also had been decided going to Fushimi of Kyoto's south suburbs.
　
・・・・・・・・・　

There was a symbolic event.

When Tokugawa troops went to Osaka from Kyoto、they had cross with some troops.

That troops was towards to Kyoto.

That was Choshu's troops.

shut up

"Why isn't Yoshinobu here？

Of course、our efforts were a factor、but it is undoubtedly the Tokugawa's continuous efforts that have kept Japan peaceful for the past 300 years.

And there is no doubt that the fact that the restoration of the monarchy has now been achieved and that we are gathered here to consider the new shape of Japan is thanks to Yoshinobu's peaceful return of political power to the Imperial Court.

Yes、from any perspective、there is no doubt that Tokugawa Yoshinobu was one of the greatest contributors to the restoration of the monarchy.

Yet、they did not invite Yoshinobu to this meeting and instead excluded him. This is so despicable and dishonest that it cannot be helped that the insight of all of us present here is doubted. This is a serious problem that will leave the roots of trouble for Japan in the future. , should be improved immediately."

On the day that the great proclamation of the Restoration of Imperial Rule was issued influential aristocrats and feudal lords gathered in a corner of the Kyoto Imperial Palace to hold a meeting to decide Japan's future direction、and Yamanouchi Yodo the representative of Tosa clan (the clan that drafted the restoration of imperial rule)、continued to strongly advocate this from the very beginning.

At first、Yodo stated his opinion calmly、but his tone gradually became more and more fierce、and as if overwhelmed by his passion、all the other meeting participants fell silent、Yodo stated his opinion with an even more terrifying expression.

"I'm afraid that Mikado is still young、and even if there are tanuki lurking among the people around him、he probably won't be able to tell.

That can't be helped、but if as a result His Majesty is unknowingly helping to plot a heinous conspiracy、then as a subject I would be dereliction of my duty if I did not say something to admonish him.

Everyone！what do you think？

This is too insidious."

”SHUT UP!”

Iwakura shouted.

"Shujō is completely dependent on the opinions of others and has no opinions of his own.

In other words、this is extremely frightening、but are you saying that 'Shujō's abilities are limited to that extent'？"

"That's not true、I'm saying that Shujō is too young..."

"Shut up！

Don't you realize that is disrespectful？

How arrogant of you to dare question Shujō's abilities！

Yamauchi Toyoshige has behaved extremely disrespectfully towards Shujō in front of a full audience.

You should apologize to Shujō immediately、or you have no right to be here！"

After this、Yodo was just silent.

※☟Original text as of 7:36am, 22/12/2018(japan time). 2024070408:30(japan time).

Just after the Restoration、the first lords and aristocrats meeting was held.

But there was not name of Yoshinobu and high-ranking aristocrats there.

"Why Yoshinobu is not here?

This is very strange.

Until now Tokugawa had been guarding the security of Japan.

And Yoshinobu returned Japan's regime to the Emperor with peaceful.

So this Restoration was possible.

　

Yoshinobu is best achievement person for this Restoration.

However we exclude him from the new government.

This is disingenuous."

Yodo of Tosa insisted so.

"Emperor is still young.

And in my findings、there are many ambitious persons around him.

He therefore is dependent on them opinion.

This is a conspiracy."

Yodo also said so.

　

”SHUT UP!”

Iwakura shouted.

　

"Emperor is dependent on someone opinion.

Fearfully、you are saying so.

Fearfully、ability of Emperor is that extent.

Therefore are you saying so?

You have doubts about the ability of Emperor.

This is very disrespect for Emperor.

Don't you have a feeling of reverence for Emperor?

You should apologize to Emperor."

Iwakura also said so.

Yodo did silent.

◆王政復古の大号令

詳細は「王政復古 (日本)」を参照

上記のような閉塞状況を打破するため、大久保利通や岩倉具視は秘かにクーデター計画を練る。12月8日夕方から深更にかけて行われた朝議で、毛利敬親（長州藩主）・広封（同世子）の官位復活と入京許可、三条実美ら八月十八日の政変で追放された5人の公卿の赦免、および岩倉ら謹慎中の公卿の処分解除が決定された。翌9日未明、公卿たちが退廷した後、待機していた薩摩藩・土佐藩・広島藩・尾張藩・福井藩の5藩の軍が御所9門を固め、摂政・二条斉敬をはじめ要人の御所への立ち入りを禁止した後、明治天皇臨御の下、御所内学問所において王政復古の大号令が発せられた。新政権の樹立と天皇親政をうたい、摂政・関白と征夷大将軍職の廃止、新たに総裁、議定、参与の三職を置くなどの方針が発表された。これにより、二条摂政や中川宮朝彦親王ら親幕府的な公卿は発言権を失うことになった。

この大号令を受けて早速、新設の三職を小御所に召集して12月9日18時頃から小御所会議が行なわれた。

　土佐藩士　後藤象二郎、神山左多衛

　薩摩藩士　岩下方平、西郷隆盛、大久保利通

これらの参席者は王政復古に伴い三職（総裁・議定・参与）に任ぜられたものである。ただし各藩の藩士はほとんどが後日（12月10日～12日）の追任であり、小御所会議に出席していない尾張藩の荒川甚作、越前藩の毛受鹿之助、芸州藩の久保田平司、土佐藩の福岡孝弟も参与に追任されている。

大久保や西郷としては、王政復古の大号令の際に、慶喜の辞官（内大臣の辞職）・納地（徳川宗家領の奉納）の勅命を出させ、徳川家を無力化することを企図していたが、議定の山内容堂や松平春嶽らが抵抗したので審議は小御所会議にずれ込んだ。

小御所会議の展開

明治天皇の外祖父である議定・中山忠能から開会が宣言された後、公家側が「徳川慶喜は政権を返上したというが、果たして忠誠の心から出たものかどうかは怪しい。忠誠を実績を持って示す（辞官納地を指す）よう譴責すべきである」との議題を出す。しかし山内容堂はそれを遮り、「この会議に、今までの功績がある慶喜公を出席させず、意見を述べる機会を与えないのは陰険である。数人の公家が幼い帝を擁して権力を盗もうとしているだけだ」と論陣を張った。それに対し、岩倉が「帝は不世出の英主であり、今日のことは全て帝のご決断である。それを幼いとは妄言である」旨を述べて論駁したため、容堂が失言を謝罪した。ただし、この容堂と岩倉のやり取りは後に作られた「挿話」であるという説もある。

松平春嶽が容堂に助け船を出し、慶喜の出席を重ねて求めたが、岩倉や大久保利通は徳川家の罪状を並べてこれを断然拒否した。大久保は慶喜が辞官納地に応ずることが前提であり、それがない時は免官削地を行いその罪を天下にさらすべきと主張したが、後藤象二郎は公明正大な措置が肝心でこの会議は陰険であると容堂の論を支持。大久保・後藤の間で激論が交わされる。しかし、春嶽と徳川慶勝が容堂を支援。岩倉・大久保案は島津茂久が賛同したのみで、会議の趨勢は慶喜許容論に傾きつつあった。中山忠能が場を納めようと正親町三条実愛らと協議しようとしたところ、岩倉が「御前会議で私語するとは何事か」と叱り、一時休憩となった。

休憩中、岩倉は広島藩の浅野茂勲に対し、この会議での妥協はあり得ず、いざというときは非常手段を取らざるを得ないとの覚悟の程を語り、茂勲の賛同を得る。その知らせを辻将曹が後藤に伝え、妥協を促した。後藤もここに至っては無駄な抵抗となることを悟り、山内容堂を説得。結局、春嶽や容堂もに決議に従うこととなった。こうして夜半まで続いた小御所会議は決着し、松平春嶽と徳川慶勝が慶喜へ辞官納地の決定を伝え、慶喜が自発的にこれを申し入れるという形式をとることが決定された。

新政権の三職を集めて行われた初めての会議であったが、上記のごとく岩倉、大久保、後藤を除けば小御所会議での実際の発言は全て議定からなされており、実質的には諸侯会議の色彩が強かった。

以後の政局への影響

概要

小御所会議で慶喜の辞官納地が一応決定されたため、一般的には王政復古クーデターは、薩摩・長州など倒幕派の勝利と受け取られることが多い。しかし慶喜はもちろんのこと越前・土佐・尾張などの親幕派諸藩の執拗な抵抗により、辞官納地案は次第に骨抜きとされ、それほど倒幕派の思惑通り事態が進んだわけではない。結局倒幕派が完全に主導権を握るのは翌年初めの鳥羽・伏見の戦いまで待たねばならなかった。

※以下、日付は全て旧暦（天保暦）によるものである。

諸侯会議派の巻き返し

小御所会議での辞官納地の決定は翌10日、春嶽と慶勝によって慶喜に伝えられたが、慶喜はただちに実行すれば部下が激昂するとの理由で猶予を求めた。同日赦免された長州藩兵が入京したこともあり、大久保は強気に出るが、京都には会津藩・桑名藩などの徳川方諸藩の兵も駐屯しており、戦闘回避を求める声も強かった。ここから春嶽、慶勝、容堂ら反倒幕派が巻き返しを図る。

容堂は12日、辞官納地問題を春嶽の周旋に委任することを求める建白書を新政権に提出。14日には議定・仁和寺宮嘉彰親王が岩倉や大久保ら身分が低い者を抑えるべく、身分を正すことを求める意見書を提出した。これらの情勢から岩倉までもが弱気となり、同日、春嶽が辞官納地の具体的内容を岩倉に迫った際も、岩倉は慶喜が「前内大臣」と名乗ればよいとし、領地については確答を避けるなど弱腰になってしまう。岩倉は慶喜が辞官納地に応じさえすれば慶喜を議定に任じるという協調策を大久保、西郷らに提示した。

いっぽう、13日に大坂城に戻っていた慶喜は、16日には英・仏・蘭・米・伊・普6国の公使に引見し、王政復古後も外交権が自らにあることをアピールするなど、強気の姿勢を崩していなかった。大目付・永井尚志も薩長二賊を討つべしと主張。慶喜は大目付・戸川安愛に薩長の非をならす上表文を持たせて上京させるとともに、在京の譜代大名諸藩軍へ上坂を命じた。

一方、新政府側でも19日大久保と寺島宗則が、新政権の諸外国への承認獲得と外交の継続宣言をすべく、アーネスト・サトウ（英国公使館付通訳）やモンブラン伯爵（フランス貴族）と協議し、新政権から諸外国への通達詔書を作成する。しかし春嶽や容堂らは、その文面に「列藩会議を興して国事を議する」とあることを逆手に取り、小御所会議は所詮数藩の代表のみであり列藩会議とは言えないとして、改めて議論を行うべきと主張し、諸侯会議派がますます勢いを得た。from 小御所会議wiki.

requirement

"Tokugawa clan had been maintaining the security of Japan is a fact.

I think it is enough for atone of the currently sins.☜ I believe it is enough for atone of the currently sins. 2024071209:40(japan time)

We should be allow participate of Yoshinobu into this conference."

There was such lords opinion besides Yodo.

　

"Apparent does not matter.

Whether the Tokugawa has true remorse？

This is matter.　

We should confiscate the territory of the Tokugawa. ☜ Yoshinobu should immediately return to the Imperial Court all Japanese territories currently being unjustly occupied by the Tokugawa. Furthermore、from the perspective of running the nation、this is something that must be done first and foremost. 2024071209:53(japan time).

If Tokugawa accept this、their remorse is the truth.

We must think so.

This is the minimum requirement for participate of Yoshinobu in."

Okubo said so.

Of course Satsuma wanted a war.

　

・・・・・・・・・

This requirement was send to Yoshinobu of Osaka.☜ this requirement was send to Yoshinobu in Nijo Castle. 2024071209:48(japan time)

"I understand it.”

Yoshinobu said so.

　

"This become war."

And he understood it.

"We should fight against Satsuma and Choshu."

This opinion inside the Tokugawa、at this time it had been on the verge of explosion.

　

"I do not want to fight against the Emperor."

However Yoshinobu said so with crying to his vassal.
