cloudy heart

Sakamoto and Nakaoka of Tosa、and Katsu who was plenipotentiary of Tokugawa at that time.

Roughly speaking、the man who made the current political line were them.

Katsu was also Sakamoto's master.

"If Sakamoto and Nakaoka alive now."

At this time Tosa samurai would have thought like that many times.

When Yoshinobu returned the regime to Imperial court of Kyoto、Tosa was at the center of the times.

But after the assassination of Sakamoto and Nakaoka、Tosa was receding rapidly from the times.

"Dogsbody for Satsuma."

In their current situation、some of them may have had such dissatisfaction.

"They were killed by the Shinsengumi."

At that time many Tosa samurai believed so.

(Sasaki of Mimawarigumi who is said to have commanded the Sakamoto assassination directly、he had been died already on battle of Toba Fushimi.)

Itabashi is about 6 km north of the Chiyoda castle.

The Nakasendo army centered on Tosa's troops stationed here.

※It may be positioned as the Second Army rather than the main force.

Therefore many Tosa samurai were on there.　

Almost of them had revered Sakamoto and Nakaoka.

Naturally、they insisted on the death penalty of Kondo.

・・・・・・・・・

"We want to save Kondo's life."

Satsuma had claimed so.

"Satsuma never understands our feelings.

How many Tosa people have been killed by Shinsengumi?"　

Heard this proposal、they were furious.

A major member of Tosa in the political revolution movement leading up to the Meiji Restoration.

Before Restoration they were almost dead as front-line soldiers of the revolution.

Conversely Satsuma had almost survived.

(This is just issue of the political system of Tosa.

Of course、that was the case、so the Meiji Restoration may have been established.)

※Ten years later、many Satsuma samurai、including Saigo、will die in the Satsuma Rebellion.

Tosa only insisted on the death penalty of Kondo.

The result、death penalty of Kondo finally decided.　

・・・・・・・・・　

One day at midnight、there was a visitor at Katsu's mansion.

It was Hijikata.

"Currently、Kondo is in a very dangerous situation.

Please help to rescue him.

Just before Kondo goes to the position of the Western Army、he tried to commit suicide in our position.

Don't give up until the end、you have a duty to live as a leader of Shinsengumi.

I told him so.

Yes、I stopped his suicide.

But he is now about to be executed as a rebel against the Emperor.

I must help him absolutely."

Hijikata said.

"It's impossible.

I think you can understand about its reason.

Now、this matter is very important to the survival of the Tokugawa.

They has also suspecting my involvement with Kondo.

It is evident from their cross-examination against Kondo.

I can not behave actively now."

Katsu replied so.　　

"He is immediate follower of the Tokugawa Shogunate.

He fought putting his life on the line for Tokugawa."　

"Drive the Tokugawa into a dangerous situation.

I can not do such an act for only one vassal."

"Kondo is my best friend.

Please help me to rescue him."

Katsu was silence.

Hijikata was gone.

・・・・・・・・・

"Hijikata came to visit me at midnight."

Katsu only wrote so in his diary.

"I killed Kondo without helping him."

He left it in history.

・・・・・・・・・

Kondo was executed at Itabashi (The samurai's death penalty is seppuku).

His head was exposed in Kyoto as an unspeakable rascal.

antipathy

"Idiot! "

Arima yelled.

"Why killed Kondo?

What's more、as a sinner.

He certainly our enemy.

But he was a loyal retainer for Tokugawa.

Above all、he was a loyal retainer for the Emperor."

"If he kept alive、we must continue his monitoring.

It costs useless expenses.

So killed him."

It was a reply.

From around this time、the antipathy of Edo citizens toward the new government army began to stand out steadily.

・・・・・・・・・

Katsu negotiated with Enomoto at the request of the new government.

"Delivery half of Tokugawa warships to the government."

As result this was agreed、navy's problem was solved by it for the time being.

(Of course、they did not hand over the main ships.)

・・・・・・・・・　

A desertion troop of Ōtor、finally it reached 2,000 people.

They attacked the Utsunomiya castle and took possession of this castle.

※The current Utsunomiya city is the prefectural capital of Tochigi Prefecture.

After all、they did retreat by new government troops attack.

But they still stayed in the suburbs of Edo

At the same time、security in the city of Edo had become deteriorated steadily.

・・・・・・・・・

"Absence of Shogun、thereby Edo citizens have lost the core of their heart.

The government needs to immediately bring Yoshinobu back from Mito.

This is a best way of restoration of Edo's security. "

Katsu insisted.

"Those who changing position in early to the government from Tokugawa.

They has been protect their property by the government.

Vassals who had loyal to Tokugawa to the end.

They are people with good sense.　

But their lands was confiscated all by the government.

Currently、all of them has to struggle to make a living.

Also Edo's merchant was made up by their consumption.

It was all destroyed.

This is a major factor in the deterioration in the security situation of Edo.

The government seized the territory of the Tokugawa.

The government say this is for make the state budget.

However、I think this amounts are not enough for cover the state budget.

It's not surprising.

Tokugawa was mere largest local lord in Japan.

Perhaps Tokugawa's territory is about 20% of Japan.

You guys are also know well it.

Please cover the whole of Japan with that.

There is so impossible.

If think the priority、the government should protection their's lives at first.

But the reality is afflicting them.

This is nonsense at all."

・・・・・・・・・

On this way home、Katsu was shot and fall from a horse.

He was syncope for a while.

”I'm alive.”

He muttered after awake (the bullet didn't hit them).

And he went home.

By the way、Ｉ was understood it by reading the text of the net、you know? David Bowie san's "Dead Ｍan Ｗalking" and "Ｔhe Supermen" are the same chord progression.
