raising an army

"Now the situation is very bad for us.
More than anything，we do not have withdrawal of army of Tokugawa yet."

But they had refused to Takasugi's approached.
Takasugi came from the upper class of Choshu and his class consciousness was very strong.
In contrast，most soldiers of those corps came from low class.　

”Will refrain from rash and blind act.”
The corps commander said so.
　
"My spirit is unlike the farmer like him."　
Takasugi was cursing him to originally farmers soldiers.
　
There was also that antipathy.　
(If I says oppositely，they become commander from lower class that was possible in those corps.
This corps was strong.)

Therefore，Takasugi's plan of raising an army was crushed.
That was not.
He decided to raising an army alone against the current regime.　(There was no soldier.)
　
・・・・・・・・・　
　
"I will participate in your raising an army."
There was young man who said so.
It was "Ito Shunsuke" who was returning from the United Kingdom.
　
Ito also came from the lower class.
He was able to study in the UK because his belongs group was at the helm of Choshu.
But now that group did downfall，and conservative group had at the helm.
(This "conservative"  meaning  is "conservation of status of the samurai".)　

”Future，there is no chance to person like me.”　　
He might have been so desperate.　
However, there was such situation besides him.
They were all prudent.　
　
Rather than a theory，Ito liked merely Takasugi maybe.

"Anyway he will die in solitude.
He is pitiful.
I'll die together.”　
Eventually they were raising an army at Shimonoseki in about 60 people against the current regime.

A few decades later，Ito became Japan's first prime minister.　
In other words，after this，they won to the current administration.
