for make the tomorrow to japan

By some freak coincidence，Sakamoto became a disciple of the Tokugawa senior officials.　

”At first，he came to kill me.”
Senior official said so later.
I do not know reason，Sakamoto became a disciple of him at any rate.
(Maybe they had hit it off simply.)
　
Sakamoto seems to have been an charming person.
However，in the class society，it did not help anything. 　
There was also no backing of nations for him like Satsuma and Choshu because he was a Ronin.

But，thanks to this senior official，after this his human companionship did become wider including Tokugawa people.
For example，when Sakamoto said I want to meet Saigo of Satsuma，senior official wrote a letter of introduction to Saigo.

This Tokugawa senior officials name is ”Katsu Kaishu”.
Saigo and katsu were  very famous at that time already，on the other hand Sakamoto was not known.
Sakamoto had the endorsement of people's trust to Katsu.
(Of course，I think Katsu wrote a letter of introduction because that's Sakamoto.)　
　
And later，Sakamoto wrote the endorsement of the alliance sentence between nations of Choshu and Satsuma as an individual of Ronin.

・・・・・・・・・　

Incidentally，a few years later Katsu saved one million people's life of Edo as cessation of large-scale combat in there.　
　
I also will not say unconditionally.
”Be victory or be defeat.”
With this idea. (Of course this idea had left.)

”Do our best for future of Japan.”
This idea was appeared.　

Katsu was surrendered edo of base ground of Tokugawa to new government by the discussion.
Because of that，Tokugawa become more disadvantage.
However，one million people’s life and capital functions remained almost intact.
　
・・・・・・・・・
　
Just maybe he would be Katsu’s political enemies，there was  person name "Oguri Tadamasa" of Tokugawa senior officials .
Oguri very talented，and had planed the policy for the victory of Tokugawa to the end.
At the same time、perhaps he had forecast the fate of the era exactly.

He built the first modern shipyard to Yokosuka. (Near Yokohama)
At that time, he said with a laugh.
"We can leave this shipyard to Japan."
"Tokugawa regime was worth of existence."

However，of course he claimed the fight against the new government to the end.
He was laid off finally by Tokugawa because of it.

As can be seen in this fact，Tokugawa might tried to the corresponds of adults to new government.
After all，the fight against the new government followed up to Ezo (now Hokkaido) of the north end.
But when Japan changes became clear，Tokugawa made definite effort to pass Japan of intact to new government.
