supplement

The following that I found by looking at book.

The United States Navy Commodore Perry.
His Uraga arrival in 1853.
(Uraga is located entrance of Edo Bay.)

Season of transformation of Japan began at this time in earnest.

And at this time,Tokugawa had been released the constraint of ship construction.
About 4 years later，Sendai clan did construction of Western-style warships.

However，it was the sailing ship like 250 years ago.

There is a Kesennuma port at about 80 km north of the Sendai city.
This ship sailed between them in the maiden voyage.
That number of days was two weeks.
(Probably include rest of their.)

Then,this ship sailed into Edo twice.
Of course construction of this ship became their financial burden.
 　

・・・・・・・・・
　　

According to the record of Katsu.　

When tycoon went to Kyoto from Edo by ship in 1863.
(Incidentally，Restoration was in 1868.)
At this time，Tokugawa was organized the fleet for the first time.

Western-style warships of lords were also participated in this fleet.
(７ lords and 1 lord was 1 ship.)　

Morioka clan.（Current Iwate)
They were the only participants from the East Japan lords.

"Steamboat"
However，this proviso was in his records for Western-style warship of Satsuma.
So other lords ships might was sailing ship.
　
　
・・・・・・・・・


Ōu alliance had been deployed two thousand people for the defense of the south east coast of Ōu region.
And they withdrew in nonresistance.

Landing troops of new government were thousand people at first.
(3 warships.)
It was strange that a little.

"Secret agreement existed?"
I thought so.

Secret negotiations of lords was begun already by the changes in the tactical situation.
This was of course.　
First of all，nobody of Ōu did want the war.

But Hirakata defense troops.
It was Sendai troops.
So ,would not it.

But their troops were two platoon.
Although its numbers was different by clan.
I think it was about three hundred people at most.

（Of course Sendai clan didn’t want the war.
They had most effort to avoid the war.）


・・・・・・・・・　

　
By the way I found only the number of two thousand.

Its troops deployment situation.
Also its troops organization.
Were it a modern troops?
I do not know now.

Just maybe、all of them.
It might have been Hiragata defense troops.
And combat power of the actual was two platoon of Sendai.
It could have been that.　

A landing possible coastline of only this area was 15 km or more.
And Coastline of Pacific Ocean side of Ōu.
It is 500 km or more.

Even if they run emphasis defense.　
First of all，beach defense strategy might have been impossible.
Navy was needed for them.　


・・・・・・・・・

　　
A one month and a half ago，when they were deprived of the Shirakawa Castle.
They suffered a large damage by shells of new government troops.

Bombardment of Western countries against the Choshu and Satsuma.
They also might had in mind it.

When the warships of new government appeared to Hiragata，they withdrew in nonresistance.
