over sea

New government troops have succeeded in landing in nonresistance.　

Because Ōu people lacked the perspective of the sea.　
It was never the case.
　
Sendai clan in particular.　

Harvest rice of Sendai clan.
It was accounted for significant part of the consumption of rice of Edo city.　
This rice was taken to Edo city by ship.
　
Therefore seaway had been developed already in this era.
　
　
・・・・・・・・・　
　

Also 250 years ago from this time.
Date Masamune of the first lord of Sendai.　
He build a Western-style sailing ship.
And he sent envoys to the Pope of Rome.
　
The ship crossed the Pacific Ocean.　
And arrived in Acapulco harbor.
　
Then they crossed the Atlantic in a ship of Spain.
They were able to audience with the Pope.

However、in the meantime，significant conversion of policy had been performed in Japan.

Prohibit of Christianity.
After this this developed into the implementation of the policy of seclusion.

Prohibition of entry into Japan of foreigners.
And of course prohibition of departure of the Japanese people.

Foreign countries are over sea for the Japanese people.

Ships which has open ocean voyage ability.
Prohibition of that build.

This prohibition had been thorough by Tokugawa regime.
As result Japan ship was became the ability to sail only along the coast.
This voyage was also influenced considerably by the weather.

It was Sendai clan at that time.
(Aizu was exist in inland.)

The upheaval that caused by release of seclusion policy.
It was all happening at the west Japan.

Sendai clan had taken the distance always against this upheaval.
It was naturally.
The political center had moved to Kyoto already.
It was far from Sendai.
And its situation was too unstable.

People of Sendai was able to maintain the peace by it.
At the same time，they were delayed conclusively awareness of the era by it.

When Second Choshu subjugation，Tokugawa Navy also ran the landing operation to the Choshu territory.
It was not a unknown operation for Tokugawa.

However，their strategy plan was biased inland.
It was a strategy plan of 300 years ago.

The peace of 250 years by seclusion policy.
It was also the stagnation of 250 years.
Their strategy had been established by thought of that time.
As with early Choshu and Satsuma.

New government troops have succeeded in landing in nonresistance.

Landing from over sea of Japanese people troops.
Seclusion of Ōu might was over at this time.
