antipathy


"Idiot! "
Arima yelled.

"Why killed Kondo?
He was our enemy surely.
But he was a loyal subject of Tokugawa.
Above all he was a loyal subject of the Emperor."

"If he kept alive,we must continue his monitoring.
It will cost a fortune.
So killed him."
It was a reply.

From about this time,antipathy to the new government army of Edo citizens had became noticeable.

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

"Pass 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 pass capital ship.)
 
 
・・・・・・・・・ 

 
Otori’s deserters troop.
Finally it reached 2,000 people.

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

They did retreat by new government troops attack.
But it was still alive in the suburbs of Edo

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

・・・・・・・・・
 
 
"Edo citizens have lost the core of heart.
Government must called yoshinobu back from mito.
This is a best way of restoration of security. "
Kaishu insisted.

"Those who changing jobs 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 merchant of Edo 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 of Japan.
Perhaps Tokugawa's territory is about 20% of Japan.
You guys are also know well it.

All Japan cover by it.
There is so impossible.
 

If think the priority,the government should protection their lives at first.

Afflict them.
This is nonsense."


・・・・・・・・・
 
 
Way home of after this.
Katsu was shot and fall from a horse.
He was syncope for a while.
 
”I'm alive.”
He muttered after awake.(not hit)
 
And he went home.
