"This government positions must hereditary by us.
Because our pedigree is precious.

Okubo of Satsuma,Goto of Tosa.
They behave as though they owned the place.
But they are persons of the humble beginnings.

Okubo top minister.

Do we call him like that?
Please stop joking."
There were many such opinion inside aristocracy.

Increase the width of the road.
Make a vast vacant lot at a regular interval.

As a result，Edo city had high conscious against fire protection.

"And Kan'eiji is located on top of a small hill in Ueno.

I think it will depend to some extent on the weather.　
But if can summarize the enemy to Kan'eiji.
Limit the damage to Edo city.
It is quite possible.

Kan'eiji is also presence of only branch castle of Chiyoda Castle at Edo city.
Strategic base which large army can be gathered.
Therefore it is only here except for the Chiyoda Castle.

Of course i think they also know it well.

And they are large number surely.
But most of them is old style samurai.

Modern soldiers of Tokugawa.
Most of them escaped already from Edo city.

So the Shogitai hasn't ability to respond to modern warfare.

If our troops surround at the organizational against them.
And we will summarize them to Kan'eij.
It is quite possible."
Omura continued.
