beyond the position
"Certainly、Tycoon may not be the head of Japan.
If so、he only needs to be the head of Japan.
For example、Like Napoleon III."
This was the basic policy of the French government.
At that time、France was the reign of Napoleon III.
It would be obvious to the people of the West(lol)、but his personality had strongly affected to the foreign policy of France.
※Of course I have seen Napoleon I coronation paintings (in books).
・・・・・・・・・
"Support the Tokugawa."
Léon Roches of the French ambassador、he conducted diplomacy along the intention of Napoleon III.
But It was not only it.
"For Tokugawa is for Japan."
He believed so.
・・・・・・・・・
"Japan's survive way is only this."
Japan decided to live in the rules (system?) of the Western countries.
But it was a completely different civilization system to Japan of course.
As the situation at the time、the 250 years of isolation were suddenly broken (in Japanese subjectivity)、which naturally evoked Japanese nationalism.
Raid against Westerners had also occurred frequently.
Therefore Japan had to concluded unequal treaty under the rules of Western countries,.
After this、Japan was going to suffer for decades by it.
Roches had advised to Tokugawa beyond the position of diplomat of France.
If not、Japan might have entered into more unequal treaties.
※It just depends on my memory、but at least、according to the text I trust、this is not a flattery.

paradigm misalignment
The flow of the world'time (of the development stage of civilization).
Of course it is not uniform、time lag occurs.
・・・・・・・・・
Shortly before of this conference、Bizen (current Okayama prefecture) samurai of West Japan were marching to Osaka for order to participate in the new government troops.
And the incident occurred when they passed through Kobe.
They encountered a group of Westerners there.
(They were old-fashioned samurai.)
"Why you guys has not kneel down on the ground?
Rude guys!"
It became a skirmish and escalated into a gunfight.
British Ambassador was also on there.
※I don't know now whether a group of Westerners were an army.
But their armed were obsolete.
They were easily repulsed.
・・・・・・・・・
Then the foreign settlement in Kobe、which received this news、was naturally prepared for war..
At that time、Choshu troop arrived there for defense of Kobe.
They did not yet know of this incident.
"We want to avoid the unexpected.
Please you guys are away from Kobe temporarily."
Ernest proposed to Choshu troop.
Choshu was originally the center of expulsion of the foreigners .
They fought against Western countries many times with obsolete armed.
”I understand.”
Choshu troop willingly accepted it.

calmed down
Choshu troop left the Kobe.
"The situation settled down for the time being."
When Ernest was relieved.
"Unknown troops have gathered near.
Their numbers、about 300 people."
But immediately after that、this urgent message received.
Foreign settlement became confused by it.
"Please wait a little.
Maybe it is Choshu troop.
I will go to the reconnaissance."
Saying that、Ernest went there hastily.
・・・・・・・・・
It was simply the people of Kobe neighboring villages.
Choshu troop had been stationed in quite away location as promised with Ernest.
"The Imperial Court will maintain the security of Kobe.
We will never allow an act contrary to it.
Local residents、please rest assured.
Please issue this proclamation as soon as possible."
Ernest went there and told with them.
It was performed immediately.
And this situation became calmed down.
By the way、the British ambassador was also snipered in this case (it didn't hit).
But he did not make it a matter.
They cooperated to calm the situation.
※They did not unfairly use this incident politically.
Of course、in reality situation、it is injustice incident for them at the first place.※

what doing now
Satsuma was aiming to reform the system of Japan along with the Tokugawa at first.
"After all、our cooperation only helps to strengthen the power of Tokugawa.”
Negation of the idea of feudalism was exist in the leaders of Satsuma already.
Of course there was a presence of the UK as a model of a modern constitutional monarchy.
There are anecdotes like this.
Katsu had visited the United States before as diplomatic envoy.
"What kind of country is America?"
After returning Japan、he was asked as such by his superior.
"The United States is Japan's opposite、boss is clever than subordinates.”
He replied so.
※With the title of captain of a ship、not a representative of the diplomatic mission.
He seems to have been a complainer in those days、but this seems to have been one of his complaints.※
※"During the voyage、Katsu didn't almost came out of the captain's office by seasickness."
There is a testimony of Fukuzawa Yukichi who accompanied this voyage、but this was the first Trans-Pacific voyage by Japanese people.
Maybe the American sailors (of a ship that stranded?) had been riding together.
(I checked it with an electronic dictionary now、according to it、an American ship was accompanying them.)※
※Fukuzawa was a samurai of the Nakatsu clan (100,000goku) of Kyushu.
He seems to have been a complainer in those days、but this seems to have been one of his complaints(lol).
At this time、he may have been in the position of servant of Shogunate special envoy to the United States.
I think I've read Fukuzawa's text who praised that person.
Incidentally Fukuzawa is the founder of Keio University.※
※By the way、the name of this ship is called "Kanrin Maru" (translation is omitted). 咸臨丸
According to Shiba san's book、no drawings or photographs exis、the shape of this ship seems to be unknown now.
But about two months ago、I saw its detailed model at the Maritime Self-Defense Force museum in Sasebo(lol).
(Of course there is a possibility of imagination or its design drawing was discovered etc.)※
By the way、none of them were bad.
Feudal era.
Boss was boss from before his born.
Subordinates was subordinates from before his born.
That was determined so.
Ｗell the scene changes here.
On one occasion、Sakamoto asked Katsu.
"What doing now the descendants of the first president?"
Perhaps he was thinking of Tokugawa Ieyasu、the first shogun of the Tokugawa shogunate.
"I don't know、because anyone don't care such a thing."
Katsu replied so.
"Great. Japan also should be so."
Sakamoto seemed very impressed to this answer.
※Although there was ups and downs、Katsu was eventually delegated the full authority by the Tokugawa shogunate.
He was not of upper class origin.
I think in any world、it is probably due to accumulation of credit.
That is、there always existed a boss who understood his ability.
(I have never heard of that he was punished for that reason.)
In short、Katsu for Sakamoto.
I think this is a very important point of view.
Expose wickedness as oneself.※
・・・・・・・・・
Back to topic.
Satsuma did began to aspire to change the system of Japan rather than reform it.
However、that was impossible with Satsuma alone.
Possibility to cooperate of Satsuma and Choshu came out here.
To put it simply、total of substantially economic strength of the two countries were comparable to Tokugawa.
When they cooperated、the battle with Tokugawa became possible for the first time.
※The total "real" economic power of both countries is said to be about 2000000 goku.
There are problems such as "exploitation" against Ryukyu (Okinawa) by Satsuma there.
In addition to that、I think that it was primarily a Qing Dynasty、Satsuma seemed to have done dense trade using Okinawa and other southern islands as relay points.
I think that Ryukyu at the time was under the influence of both Qing Dynasty and Satsuma.
I think this is a way of writing that doesn't look directly at the reality.
But "they" is not them.
Tokugawa、on the other hand、had extensive territory、which is said to be between 4000000 and 8000000 goku.
For example、the lord of the Nakatsu clan is a vassal of Tokugawa.
It may be up or down depending on whether to include them.
(Aizu clan probably like a branch family to the head home.)
Many direct territories of Tokugawa were only a tax collectors exist、it seems that there were places where military power hardly existed.
(The direct territories of Tokugawa were scattered all over Japan.)※
※Perhaps it might be a strength of a big company、but the tax rate of Tokugawa direct territory was low compared to other territories.
The tax collector was also strictly elected as model of society.※
・・・・・・・・・
But there was a big issue between the two countries.
(Satsuma and Choshu)
Political change that drove Choshu out of Kyoto、it was implemented under the leadership of Satsuma.
There was always the existence of Satsuma in the suffering of Choshu after that(many people died).
”We want to build a cooperative relationship with Choshu.”
Ｗhen Satsuma said so at first、Choshu didn't never trust Satsuma.
Rather than、they had a grudge against Satsuma.
"Choshu only wants to make Mouri Shogun.
They just want power for it.”
And on the other hand、such doubt remained deeply in Satsuma as well.
※I remembered.
However、this is uncertain as usual.(lol).
"I think my father was a sincere and capable man.
However he had to spend his entire life as lower official of his feudal clan.
Because it was decided like that before he was born."
Fukuzawa said so.
Although I have written many times、my grandfather in my memory was a little japanese tea shop owner in the town.
My father had already taken over the shop.
As a real feeling、my grandfather is such a men.
I will respect my grandfather forever just like Fukuzawa san's respect for his father forever.
(It's a men's world and because I can see my father when I want to see him・lol.)
I think the most important problem is that wish are deprive.
I think the most important problem is wish.
Everyone is freedom as far as not impeding the freedom of others.
We don't intervene in civil affairs.
However we intervene quickly to criminal cases.
It means to kill.
Its standard is my common sense.
Ｉ said so.
All of us don't think want to escape. 10月 30, 2018

why
Katsura arrived to Kyoto and they have started talks about forming an alliance.
After a while、Sakamoto also came to Kyoto.
By the way、you may seem Sakamoto came to kyoto easily.
But after this、he was attacked by Tokugawa police constables at the inn.
Maybe he was being monitored from the beginning.
(From Tokugawa's point of view、this is legitimate police activity.)
Their actions was with risk of life always.
(Katsura was strictly guarded by Satsuma at this time.)
※Maybe he accompanied Satsuma samurai from the port of Osaka where he landed.
※I read it once far before、there is a "Theory of endure something from out of pride" in Fukuzawa san's paper.痩せ我慢の説。
Although it seems that it was the content which criticized Katsu san or Enomoto san who also succeeded as a government official after the Meiji period、I don't remember its contents properly.※
※The topic changes.
This is a memory of an old woman from the Meiji era.
(I think this was read in Shiba san's book.)
If it starts to rain while walking on the street、we quickly run to the eaves.
However osamurai keeps walking leisurely in the middle of the street.
Also when turning、they turn at the middle of the street.
That figure was really beautiful.
This "o" is a light honorific title.
Perhaps it was her girlhood memories.※
When Sakamoto visited Katsura in Satsuma clan residence、he was about to just go back to Choshu.
”What are the details of the alliance?”
Sakamoto asked.
"Nothing."
"What?"
"We didn't have any discussion.
I came to Kyoto for discussion with Satsuma.
Certainly they gave me welcome.
But they didn't have any suggestion from them about the alliance until the end.
Nothing.
First、Choshu came to Kyoto.
So next I think should begin speak from Satsuma to us.
Otherwise there is no face of Choshu.
But they don't say anything about the alliance until now.
If Choshu continues to receive such humiliation、I had better go back to Choshu than still here.”
”Are you still saying such a thing?"
Sakamoto said angrily when hearing it.
"We made an effort certainly for the alliance between the two countries.
But it's not for the two countries.
It's only for the future of Japan.
We believe Choshu and Satsuma Alliance is required surely to Japan.
Nevertheless、the two countries care only about their own pride.
Why you guys do think only own country?
Why you guys don't think the future of Japan?”

no regrets
"I think so、too."
Katsura replied to Sakamoto.
"However、 the current state of Choshu、that isn't something that happened yesterday.
Upon this Japanese crisis、Choshu has made an effort for Japan.
But we were unable to accomplish it and became called "the enemy of the Emperor" eventually.
Choshu was orphaned.
And just now、troops across the country are about to start moving towards Choshu.
Of course、this was due to our inability.
Conversely Satsuma is near Emperor.
They are also not a bad relationship with Tokugawa.
Of course、also with other lords.
Choshu now、all of them is the enemy.
We are standing in the edge of death.
If invite Satsuma from us、we will become inviting them to the death.
Satsuma isn't a situation that must be it.
I'm going back to Choshu and we fight against Tokugawa.
Maybe Choshu become defeats and perish.
However、Satsuma remains.
I believe Satsuma will their best for Japan.
If so、Choshu not regret even perish."
・・・・・・・・・
"I want to disappear like snow."
While ago、when katura was hiding in Izushi、he said so to friend.
(to Katsura’s comrade.)
”No regret even if it kill me.”
Such a man was declare so.

approved
"Are you cowardmen?
Think about the position of Choshu!"
After listening to Katsura's determination、Sakamoto went alone to Satsuma side.
By the way、"Sakamoto was merely one of agent of Satsuma".
There is such theory.
Facts that remain in history.
Sakamoto went alone to Satsuma side.
After that、Satsuma moved.
Satsuma proposed an alliance from them to Choshu.
And finally Satsuma-Choshu secret alliance was concluded.
・・・・・・・・・
If the war began with Tokugawa、Satsuma increase the number of troops in Kyoto and Osaka for restrain Tokugawa.
If the course of war is favorable to Choshu、Satsuma propose the release of ”Enemy of the Emperor” to Emperor.
Even if the war situation is disadvantageous to Choshu、Satsuma strive for Choshu until the end.
If didn't the war with Tokugawa、needless to say、Satsuma propose the release of ”Enemy of the Emperor” to Emperor.
If Tokugawa interfere it、we prepare for battle with Tokugawa in cooperation.
If Choshu will release from ”Enemy of the Emperor”、of course we strive for Japan in cooperation.
・・・・・・・・・
After all、this alliance decided Japan's fate until to the present.
Also this alliance decided Aizu's fate.
Both Satsuma and Aizu has been the subject of Choshu's hatred until now.
Because give the impression of a mastermind、Choshu's hatred may have been more strongly directed at Satsuma than at Aizu.
However、after this、all Choshu’s hatred become directed at Aizu.
