"They will be Christian faith again."
The village headman of Urakami reported to the person in charge of Tokugawa in Nagasaki.

After one month，Kyoto.

"Choshu seems be send troops to Kyoto.
And They attacking the Nijo Castle with Satsuma.
(The Nijo castle was residence of Tokugawa in Kyoto.)


Ronin troops.
Its troops’s core is Tosa Ronin.
At the same time they attack Aizu base of Kyoto."
(Sakamoto was thought to be a reader of this troops from Tokugawa.)

　
Such information had been reported from Kondo to Tokugawa ministers.
And also there was likelihood of a riot by people.
　
・・・・・・・・・
　
"I will return the government to the emperor."
There was a notice from Yoshinobu to Tokugawa executives before the official announcement.
　
"Their's raising an army plan is not a problem for Tokugawa.

Because Tokugawa can be suppressed it easily by our force.
Japan's maintain security is obligation for Japan government.

　

However，nothing solve the problem by it.
I think after all, the same thing must be followed.　
We therefore should consider the fundamental solution.

　
Tokugawa Ieyasu of Tokugawa first king.
He put an end to the Warring States Period and Japan did unified again.
He had done it for only Tokugawa clan?
For peoples peace.　
I believe he did it for the people of Japan.　
Just now we should have the same ideas."　

tortured

About 30 people had been arrested.
They were central figures of Urakami Christians.

Church of Christ 250 years ago of Nagasaki.
It had become a prison.
They were imprisoned there.

"Be converted to Buddhism.”
And they were tortured.
Imprisoned of Christians
That had increased as the passing day.

Jail of about 6.6 meters square.
More than 30 people have been imprisoned there.

"I abandon the Christian faith."
Eventually most people said so.

The man named ”Senuemon” in central figures of Urakami Christians.
Person who did withstand torture until last.
After all It was he was the only.
"This would be no problem."
He also was released under strict surveillance

・・・・・・・・・
　
But contingency for Tokugawa had occurred.
People who abandoned Christianity by torture.

”We had mistake.　
We all will go back to the Christian faith."
They reported to the village headman of Urakami.
　
"Next you will killed surely."
Headman persuaded desperately.
But it was in vain.
　
This was one month before of Taisei Houkan.　
　

rejection

"If this proposal is rejected，you have to die for the protest.
Of course I also fight against Tokugawa and die.”
Sakamoto said so to Goto.
At that time Tokugawa's answer to Tosa had delayed.
　
"Of course."
Goto replied.
　
"I will negotiate to Tokugawa at the risk of life and limb.
Because peaceful resolution is this plan only.
However，until the situation is clear，please you do not the radical action."
　
・・・・・・・・・
　
"Rejection of this plan.
Its meaning is reform from upper class be impossible.
　
Dissatisfaction of the people is increasing.　
I approach the Buddhists and Christians.
And to incite people.
Take money from Tokugawa facilities in Nagasaki.　
　
I will aim for a revolution from lower class.
Absolutely I will be to overthrow Tokugawa."
Also Sakamoto said so.
　
・・・・・・・・・
　
About six months ago.
Christian secret church was being built to Urakami of Nagasaki.
There was attacked by police of Tokugawa.
About 30 people arrested.　
(Of course yet there was no modern police system in Japan.)
　

however

Tosa final plan that had submitted to Tokugawa.
It is almost the same as eight policy in the ship.

"Legislators is elected by election."
Was about this word has been supplemented.
There was no objection almost to ministers of Tokugawa.

"If tokugawa give up japan's regime, Japan will become era of the number of powerful lords like warring States period before 300 years.
It's only beneficial to other country."
Certainly there was also an opinion like this.

"My opinion is the opposite.
Japan already became era of the number of powerful lords like warring States period.
If this situation continues，it's going to be even more so.
Maintenance of Japan's security by Tokugawa authority.
It's therefore impossible anymore.

Its possible authority is the Emperor only.
Return the government to the Emperor.
And do politics by the authority of the Emperor.

If it is this，all lords of Japan can consent."
Yoshinobu  thought so.

　
"However"
　
"We do not know the process to achieve it without confusing."
Tokugawa’s answer to Tosa was delayed.
　
・・・・・・・・・　
　
"If the proposal is rejected，Satsuma will send troops to Kyoto.
Please Tosa also send troops."
Satsuma said so.

In reality，regardless to success and failure，Satsuma were planning raising an army.

submitted

"The current situation is indeed severe for Tosa's proposal.
However，the current king of Tokugawa is Yoshinobu.
He is a wise monarch.
And he is best person in japan who understand the state of the world's.
Because he is king，there is a possibility this proposal be approve. "　　
Goto has submitted it over the objections inside Tosa.
　
"If there are other solutions,we do it.
That's also good,
However，there is no other alternative for ours.
Japan's regime returns to the Emperor.
Tosa believe this is the only way to converge the situation peacefully.　
All things are imminent.
Please let know this results to me as soon as possible."
He said so to "Itakura” of Tokugawa ministers.　

・・・・・・・・・
　
After this，Itakura sent a report to colleagues of Edo.
　
"Well，proposals of Taisei Houkan were submitted from Tosa.
For example Japan's regime will returns to the Emperor from Tokugawa.　
In the first place Tokugawa is vassal of the Emperor.
As my personal opinion，therefore have no objection to that.
We also can inform the Justification of Tokugawa to public opinion by it.
　
However as a practical matter，I do not think that there is an ability to hold the reins of government to them.
　

Above all here’s situation is just worse with each passing day.
Likelihood of riots occurrence is also high.　
If tokugawa give up Japan's regime in this situation.
We can not predict what things will happen."

　
・・・・・・・・・
　
"If tokugawa give up japan's regime, Japan will become era of the number of powerful lords like warring States period before 300 years.
That situation is only beneficial to other country."
There were also many such opinion.
　

mutual understanding

After the incident Ikedaya，Shinsengumi became famous overnight.
Naturally，kondo's presence was growing inside Tokugawa.
　
・・・・・・・・・
　
By the way，his opinion for national policy.
　
It was "Expulsion of the foreigners."　
It might the same as those who killed at Ikedaya by him.
　
At that time，he had to say.
　
"Choshu and Satsuma performed a expulsion of the foreigners.
However，they are merely part of japan.　
Only it is useless.　
We need to do antiforeigner promptly as Japan."
　
Because there was also Shinsengumi’s achievements，Kyoto was peaceful during little period.
Therefore Kyoto was not at the center of the political situation.
And during this little period，there was great change of the spirit of the age.　
Choshu and Satsuma threw away the expulsion of the foreigners.
Of course Kondo was in Kyoto.　
He had been left behind by the spirit of the times.
　

When Kyoto became the center of the political situation again.
Maybe he was brought home to it.

Goto of Tosa.
He was on the tip of the spirit of the times.
Kondo was possible mutual understanding with him.
His thought might had also change at that time.
　
But he was the leader of Shinsengumi.
