00:00:00Edo Shogunate
00:00:04The end of the era has come.
00:00:07A storm of anger has broken out all over the country.
00:00:11The Edo Shogunate has been forced to retreat,
00:00:13and a new government has been established,
00:00:15centering on the Satsuma and Choshu clans.
00:00:22And then, the War of the Five Shins.
00:00:25The Satsuma and Choshu clans
00:00:27The Tohoku Shogunate has been surrendering to the new government one after another,
00:00:31but the Shogunate that has resisted to the end
00:00:34has been the Sakai clan,
00:00:36the Shonai clan.
00:00:44The first generation of the Sakai clan was
00:00:49Sakai Tadatsugu.
00:00:51He has served as the vassal of the Tokugawa clan
00:00:53since he was a child.
00:01:00Tadatsugu was famous for his numerous battles,
00:01:03and was praised as the first emperor of the Tokugawa clan.
00:01:06He continued to support the Tokugawa clan throughout his life.
00:01:14Even in the War of the Five Shins,
00:01:16the loyalty of the Sakai clan has not changed.
00:01:18The Shonai clan has been fighting fiercely against the new government.
00:01:24They have won many battles in a row.
00:01:32The one who led the Shonai army,
00:01:34which is said to be the strongest in all of Japan,
00:01:38was Genma Sakai.
00:01:40He was the son of the Bun family of the Sakai family,
00:01:42who were outside of the Sakai Tadatsugu.
00:01:44At the time of the War of the Five Shins,
00:01:46he was only 27 years old.
00:01:52Genma was the second-in-command of the Shonai army.
00:01:55He showed the strength of a head-to-head battle.
00:01:59The new government feared him as the demon Genma.
00:02:09I was able to see through the composition of the enemy,
00:02:12and I was able to predict the size of the enemy's forces.
00:02:14I was able to attack well,
00:02:16and I was able to attack at once.
00:02:18That was a very good strategy.
00:02:22Experts from various fields gather in the studio.
00:02:26They think from their own perspectives.
00:02:32I always think about what it is to be a samurai,
00:02:34and what the reason is for me to fight.
00:02:36I was able to push forward the samurai spirit
00:02:39and the spirit of a head-to-head battle.
00:02:42He was a hero in the Shonai army.
00:02:45Genma Sakai is a national hero.
00:02:50Genma's teacher was Tokugawa Ieyasu.
00:02:52I think I was influenced by Tokugawa Ieyasu.
00:02:56The Shonai army, the strongest of the Bakumatsu family,
00:02:59inherited the genes of Sakai Tadatsugu.
00:03:03The war of the Five Shins is approaching.
00:03:09The Battle of Shonai
00:03:15The Shonai Army
00:03:20The Shonai Army
00:03:22March on
00:03:24The choice was made by the heroes at the turning point in history.
00:03:27What did they think and what did they worry about when they made that choice?
00:03:31Let's find out.
00:03:54Here is today's protagonist.
00:03:59Yamagata's Shonai Clan, who fought with the Shinseifu Army during the Warring States Period.
00:04:04And the legendary commander who led the army, Genba Sakai.
00:04:09Isawa-san, what do you think of the Shonai Clan?
00:04:12The Shonai Clan, the Sakai family.
00:04:14The Sakai family is said to be the same as the Tokugawa family.
00:04:18The Tokugawa family is the oldest family in Japan.
00:04:23The Sakai family was sent to the northeast.
00:04:27They were thrown into the northeast, where there are many large and small villages.
00:04:32They were sent to suppress and gather information in the northeast.
00:04:36They were also in charge of the Tokugawa family's reconnaissance satellite.
00:04:40That kind of personality brought great meaning to the Warring States Period.
00:04:47Let's first look at how the Shonai Clan went through the Warring States Period.
00:04:54The Shonai Festival is held every year in Tsuruoka City, Yamagata Prefecture.
00:05:03This festival began in the 10th year of the Meiji Period.
00:05:06It was started by people who worshipped the Sakai family, who were members of the Shonai Clan.
00:05:11The festival lasted for 140 years.
00:05:15The people of the area still worship the Sakai family as their lord.
00:05:26In the 8th year of the Genna Period, the Sakai family was given the land of the Shonai Clan.
00:05:31The Tsuruoka Castle became their main residence.
00:05:34This is the Sakai family's main residence in Tsuruoka Castle.
00:05:42The first heir was Sakai Tadakatsu.
00:05:46He was the grandson of Sakai Tadatsugu, the Tokugawa Emperor.
00:05:54Tadakatsu said,
00:05:57The Shonai Clan is a good example for the people.
00:06:00It is a good example for the country.
00:06:06The Shonai Clan was established by Inasaku.
00:06:09It became the best rice field in Japan.
00:06:18The unique aspect of the Shonai Clan is the way they think about education.
00:06:28In the 2nd year of the Bunka Period, the Shonai Clan established the Chidokan.
00:06:34It was the place where the Shonai Clan was educated.
00:06:42At that time, the Shonai Clan was taught the Shushigaku,
00:06:46which was the order of the upper and lower classes.
00:06:51On the other hand, the Chidokan taught the Sorai-gaku,
00:06:55which was a Chinese classical art.
00:07:04The classes were held in a semi-formal manner,
00:07:07based on Jigaku and Jishu.
00:07:21In addition, the classes were taught Iso-zuri,
00:07:25which was the way to the sea.
00:07:28It was the way to the sea that the Shonai Clan learned.
00:07:40Tadayori, the 19th generation of the Sakai family,
00:07:44was taught about the education of the Shonai Clan.
00:07:51It was the start of the Shonai Clan's education
00:07:54to help the people of the world,
00:07:57not only the Shonai Clan,
00:08:00but also the people of the world.
00:08:05The Shonai Clan's spirit is called the spirit of the Chinsen.
00:08:09It is the spirit of the Chidokan that the Shonai Clan
00:08:13realized the spirit of the Chidokan,
00:08:16the spirit of the Chidokan,
00:08:19and the spirit of the Chidokan.
00:08:23While the Shonai Clan was taught independently,
00:08:26the Sakai family led a political life
00:08:29that the people of the world respected.
00:08:34During the Great Kikin in the 4th year of the Tenpō,
00:08:37while the Gasshi-sha were in exile all over Japan,
00:08:40the Sakai family freed the Shonai Clan.
00:08:43By distributing rice to the people of the world,
00:08:46not a single Gasshi-sha was released.
00:08:56The crisis came to the Sakai family
00:08:59in the 11th year of the Tenpō.
00:09:04Because of the rescue of Matsudaira,
00:09:07a member of the Kawagoe clan,
00:09:10the Shonai Clan, and the Nagaoka Clan
00:09:13were replaced by the Bakufu Clan.
00:09:16The three clans were changed.
00:09:19The three clans were changed.
00:09:25The people of the Shonai Clan were not satisfied with this.
00:09:28There is a picture of the situation at the time.
00:09:31There is a picture.
00:09:37The Sampo Ryochigae Rei was purchased
00:09:40in 1840, the 11th year of the Tenpō.
00:09:44It's a picture taken
00:09:46after two years.
00:09:51Here, the fire is placed in the middle
00:09:54to prevent the personality of the clan
00:09:57to prevent the Sakai family from being exposed to the public.
00:10:06About 30,000 people opposed the Sakai family's store,
00:10:11and they protested against the change of government.
00:10:19Some of the residents turned to Edo with a petition,
00:10:23demanding the change of government.
00:10:31The petition says that the Sakai family
00:10:36has been doing their best for us.
00:10:42Without the Sakai family, we won't be able to live.
00:10:48Residents protested against the change of government,
00:10:53and the government decided to stop the Sakai family's store next year.
00:11:01When the government heard the news,
00:11:05residents gathered in front of Tsurugaoka Castle,
00:11:09and they were overjoyed.
00:11:18But ten years later,
00:11:21the government itself was in danger.
00:11:30In 1936, Perry's fleet arrived in Japan.
00:11:34The government was forced to leave the country the following year.
00:11:39The government was forced to leave the country the following year.
00:11:44Then, the Sunno-joi gang, who opposed the change of government,
00:11:49began to attack the Sakai family.
00:11:53In 1993, the government ordered the Shonai gang
00:11:57to take over Edo City.
00:12:03Sakai Genba, the head of the Sakai gang,
00:12:07was 22 years old.
00:12:09He was the son of Karo, a member of the Hanshu clan.
00:12:13He was a good student.
00:12:19Genba used not only the Shonai gang,
00:12:23but also the Shincho gang,
00:12:26which consisted of old men,
00:12:29to suppress bandits and unruly old men.
00:12:34However, the Shonai gang continued to decline.
00:12:38The Satsuma and Choshu gangs
00:12:41began to support the new government.
00:12:47On the other hand, the Shogun Tokugawa Yoshinobu
00:12:51changed the government to the court in October of the same year.
00:12:55He tried to maintain his political power under the new government.
00:13:04Takamori Saigo, a member of the Satsuma gang,
00:13:07tried to overthrow the Shogun Tokugawa Yoshinobu.
00:13:13Saigo gathered Sunno-joi gang members
00:13:16from the Satsuma and Choshu gangs in Edo City
00:13:19to suppress bandits and unruly old men.
00:13:27Tatsuya Yamamura, an expert on the Shogun Tokugawa,
00:13:31made a conjecture.
00:13:38The Shogun Tokugawa Yoshinobu changed the government,
00:13:42but it didn't lead to a complete revolution.
00:13:48Saigo's goal was to provoke the bandits.
00:13:54He tried to convince the bandits
00:13:58to fight the Shogun Tokugawa Yoshinobu.
00:14:07The bandits in Edo City
00:14:10decided to suppress the Satsuma gang.
00:14:18On the morning of December 25,
00:14:21the Shogun Tokugawa Yoshinobu
00:14:24launched a surprise attack.
00:14:2764 people on the Satsuma side
00:14:30and 11 people on the old Shogun Tokugawa side died.
00:14:38Due to this incident,
00:14:41the Shogun Tokugawa Yoshinobu's
00:14:44idea of suppressing the Satsuma gang
00:14:47became more popular in Kamigata.
00:14:50The battle between the old Shogun Tokugawa
00:14:53and the new Shogun Tokugawa
00:14:56was the beginning of a new war.
00:15:02Soon, the war reached the Tohoku region.
00:15:05The Shogun Tokugawa Yoshinobu's gang
00:15:08was the enemy of the Shogun Tokugawa
00:15:11and was the target of the new Shogun Tokugawa's suppression.
00:15:20The new Shogun Tokugawa's gang
00:15:23was a new government force.
00:15:26However, the Shogun Tokugawa's gang
00:15:29won many battles.
00:15:36The leader of the Shogun Tokugawa's gang
00:15:39was Sakai Genba,
00:15:42the commander of the Shogun Tokugawa's gang.
00:15:50Today, we have experts from various fields.
00:15:53Thank you for joining us.
00:15:57Mr. Yamamura, what do you think
00:16:00about the Shogun Tokugawa's gang?
00:16:04The Shogun Tokugawa's gang was
00:16:07the descendant of Sakai Taratsugu,
00:16:10so they had a sense of pride.
00:16:13In the end, they fought to the end
00:16:16for the sake of the Tokugawa.
00:16:19The Shogun Tokugawa's gang
00:16:22was similar to the Aizu gang
00:16:25who fought for the sake of the Tokugawa.
00:16:28The fact that the Aizu gang
00:16:31and the Shonai gang
00:16:34were in the Tohoku region at the end
00:16:37is a refreshing memory.
00:16:40Mr. Morita, you have studied the society
00:16:43in the Edo period.
00:16:46The Shogun Tokugawa's gang
00:16:49was given a very important task
00:16:52to suppress the Tozama in the Tohoku region.
00:16:55The Shogun Tokugawa's gang
00:16:58was similar to the Aizu gang
00:17:01who fought for the sake of the Tokugawa.
00:17:04The Shogun Tokugawa's gang
00:17:07was similar to the Aizu gang
00:17:10who fought for the sake of the Tokugawa.
00:17:13The Shogun Tokugawa's gang
00:17:16was a group that increased the number of warriors.
00:17:19It was a problem of the Shogun Tokugawa's gang
00:17:22to maintain the number of warriors
00:17:25and develop them
00:17:28according to the times.
00:17:31It was a feature of the Shogun Tokugawa's gang.
00:17:34It was difficult to maintain the number of warriors
00:17:37even though there was no war.
00:17:40The Shogun Tokugawa's gang
00:17:43was far away from the center of the Edo period.
00:17:46There is a tradition of the Shogun Tokugawa's gang.
00:17:49There is a tradition of the Shogun Tokugawa's gang.
00:17:52Mr. Sato, you are from Tsuruoka City in Yamagata Prefecture.
00:17:55Mr. Sato, you are from Tsuruoka City in Yamagata Prefecture.
00:17:58There are many works based on the Shogun Tokugawa's gang.
00:18:01What does the Sakai family mean to the locals?
00:18:04What does the Sakai family mean to the locals?
00:18:07The Sakai family is like a lord.
00:18:10The Sakai family is like a lord.
00:18:13We have to watch over the Sakai family.
00:18:16We have to make sure that the Sakai family will always be there.
00:18:19On the other hand,
00:18:22when I see the Shogun Tokugawa's gang
00:18:25when I see the Shogun Tokugawa's gang
00:18:28I feel like, is this the descendant of the Shogun Tokugawa's gang?
00:18:31I feel like, is this the Shogun Tokugawa's gang?
00:18:34I don't think it's the Shogun Tokugawa's gang.
00:18:37I don't think it's the Shogun Tokugawa's gang.
00:18:40I don't think it's the Shogun Tokugawa's gang.
00:18:43I don't think it's the Shogun Tokugawa's gang.
00:18:46I don't think it's the Shogun Tokugawa's gang.
00:18:49I don't think it's the Shogun Tokugawa's gang.
00:18:52I don't think it's the Shogun Tokugawa's gang.
00:18:55I don't think it's the Shogun Tokugawa's gang.
00:18:58I don't think it's the Shogun Tokugawa's gang.
00:19:01I don't think it's the Shogun Tokugawa's gang.
00:19:04I don't think it's the Shogun Tokugawa's gang.
00:19:07I don't think it's the Shogun Tokugawa's gang.
00:19:10I don't think it's the Shogun Tokugawa's gang.
00:19:13I don't think it's the Shogun Tokugawa's gang.
00:19:16I don't think it's the Shogun Tokugawa's gang.
00:19:19I don't think it's the Shogun Tokugawa's gang.
00:19:22I don't think it's the Shogun Tokugawa's gang.
00:19:25I don't think it's the Shogun Tokugawa's gang.
00:19:28I think it's the Shogun Tokugawa's gang.
00:19:31I think it's the Shogun Tokugawa's gang.
00:19:34I think it's the Shogun Tokugawa's gang.
00:19:37I think it's the Shogun Tokugawa's gang.
00:19:40I think it's the Shogun Tokugawa's gang.
00:19:43I think it's the Shogun Tokugawa's gang.
00:19:46I think it's the Shogun Tokugawa's gang.
00:19:49I think it's the Shogun Tokugawa's gang.
00:19:52I think it's the Shogun Tokugawa's gang.
00:19:56The Shogun Tokugawa's gang was used as a target during the Warring States Period.
00:20:00Why was the Shogun Tokugawa's gang used as a target?
00:20:05The Shogun Tokugawa's gang was provoked by Satsuma's gang in the late K-1 era.
00:20:11The Shogun Tokugawa's gang was provoked by Satsuma's gang in the late K-1 era.
00:20:16They became the target of the Shogun Tokugawa's gang.
00:20:21I don't know how to put it. It just didn't feel right.
00:20:25That's right. They didn't participate in the Battle of Toba Fushimi.
00:20:28It's hard to understand what the true enemy is,
00:20:33but the new government announced the name of the true enemy,
00:20:38and that was on January 10th.
00:20:40At that time, there were no members of the House of Representatives.
00:20:43First of all, they weren't recognized as the true enemy.
00:20:47At that time, they weren't recognized as the true enemy.
00:20:51In fact, the punishment of the House of Representatives was announced on February 17th,
00:20:56so it was quite early.
00:20:58From the perspective of Satsuma-han,
00:21:00Satsuma-han has already been burned,
00:21:02so I want to recognize him as the true enemy as soon as possible,
00:21:04but I think it took a lot of time to come up with that logic.
00:21:11Now, the House of Representatives, which was to fight the new government,
00:21:14was led by Genba Sakai.
00:21:16Let's take a look at what kind of fight Genba Sakai had.
00:21:24The House of Representatives, which fought against the new government in the Hoshin War.
00:21:30The symbol of that army is...
00:21:37the flag of the second generation of the House of Representatives, Hagun Seiki.
00:21:47One of the stars of Hokuto Shichisei,
00:21:49the flag of the second generation of the House of Representatives,
00:21:52represents the determination to defeat the enemy's army.
00:21:59Genba Sakai led the second generation of the House of Representatives with this flag.
00:22:08In the 4th year of the Hoshin War,
00:22:11Genba Sakai was appointed as the commander of the troops defending the House.
00:22:16He was 27 years old at the time.
00:22:24In January of this year,
00:22:26Tokugawa Yoshinobu, who was defeated in the battle of Toba Fushimi,
00:22:29fled to Edo.
00:22:31He was loyal to the new government and showed obedience.
00:22:36The House of Representatives
00:22:41A letter from the House of Representatives, written by Genba Sakai, was found recently.
00:22:51This is a letter that Genba Sakai wrote to his father
00:22:56when he went to Edo from Tsuruoka in the 4th year of the Hoshin War.
00:23:01When he went to Edo,
00:23:04he saw that Yoshinobu had brought a few friends from Osaka.
00:23:12He saw that he had brought a few friends from Osaka.
00:23:18He wrote to his father that Tokugawa's reign was over.
00:23:31Genba Sakai called Yoshinobu, who had put the Tokugawa family in danger of extinction,
00:23:36a stupid general.
00:23:42I think he was a strict ally of the Shogun.
00:23:47But he wanted to build the Tokugawa family
00:23:51on the foundations of the Tokugawa family.
00:23:54I think that was Sakai's role.
00:24:00In May of the 4th year of the Hoshin War,
00:24:03the 31st House of Echigo in Tohoku
00:24:06formed a large-scale alliance to save Aizu and the Shogunate.
00:24:15But soon after,
00:24:17the Akita and Shinjo Houses started attacking the Shogunate
00:24:20along with the Satsuma Army.
00:24:26In order to prevent the Shogunate from advancing,
00:24:29Genba led the 2nd Shogunate Regiment and launched an invasion.
00:24:39On July 11th of the 4th year of the Hoshin War,
00:24:42Genba arrived at Funagata, a small town in the Shogunate.
00:24:47As soon as he passed through here,
00:24:49he was attacked by the Shogunate.
00:24:52The battlefield was visited by Asakawa Michio,
00:24:55an expert in the Bakumatsu War.
00:25:01This is the place where the Shogunate and the Shinsei Fuga
00:25:05fought against each other during the Hoshin War.
00:25:12This is the place where the Shogunate and the Shinsei Fuga
00:25:15fought against each other during the Hoshin War.
00:25:20There were about 500 Shinsei Fuga soldiers
00:25:23on the northern side of the river.
00:25:26The 2nd Shogunate Regiment had about 400 soldiers.
00:25:35Both armies were equipped with the Mini-A guns,
00:25:38which were very popular at the time.
00:25:41These rifles were loaded with bullets from the guns.
00:25:50The Mini-A guns were standard equipment.
00:25:53The maximum range was about 1,250 yards,
00:25:57so the bullets could fly more than 1 km.
00:26:01Considering that,
00:26:03it was possible to fight with the Mini-A guns
00:26:07at this distance.
00:26:12At this time, Genba instructed his men
00:26:17not to fire before the enemy.
00:26:20If they fired later, they would have won.
00:26:26Even if the enemy fired,
00:26:28we were told not to fire until we were hit.
00:26:31We were told not to fire until we were hit.
00:26:34In order not to fire,
00:26:36the Shinsei Fuga had to move to the side of the Shogunate.
00:26:40The Shogunate had to move to the side of the Shogunate.
00:26:44The Shogunate had to move to the side of the Shogunate.
00:26:48On the other side,
00:26:50the Shinsei Fuga had the Shinjohan in their lead.
00:26:54The Shinjohan had just returned to the Shinsei Fuga a few days ago.
00:26:58Whether or not they would fight was questionable.
00:27:02So they decided to take the lead.
00:27:06The Shinjohan, a part of the Shinsei Fuga,
00:27:10and started firing at the enemy.
00:27:15The enemy's position was confirmed,
00:27:19and a strategy was implemented.
00:27:25A separate unit was formed to enter the riverbed
00:27:28and launch a surprise attack on the enemy.
00:27:31The New Government Army, exhausted by the surprise attack, fell into a great chaos.
00:27:46The battlefield was in a state of panic.
00:27:48The order was to charge across the river to the whole army.
00:27:53The enemy was cornered and many soldiers were killed.
00:28:01The New Government Army, exhausted by the surprise attack, fell into a great chaos.
00:28:04The military reform was very solid.
00:28:10In the post-war period, it was almost unified in the British style.
00:28:16It was organized in such a way that it could be organized.
00:28:21I think it can be said that it was a strong regiment
00:28:25in the O-Uetsu-Reppan alliance.
00:28:29Sakata's family, the Honma family, was the source of the strength of the New Government Army.
00:28:41The Honma family made great profits by trading with the Kitamae-bune,
00:28:46and became the owner of Japan.
00:28:49The Honma family continued to provide funds to the military for generations.
00:28:57When the Boshin War broke out, it was further incited.
00:29:06The evidence of the war remains.
00:29:09This is the Honma family's iron gun.
00:29:12This is the Honma family's iron gun.
00:29:15This is the Honma family's iron gun.
00:29:18This is the Honma family's iron gun.
00:29:22The Honma family's payment record when they traded with the Black War weapon merchant,
00:29:28Akahane Sumeru.
00:29:32It is written that they purchased a gun and ammunition.
00:29:41The total amount is 34,533 ryo.
00:29:46The total amount is 34,533 ryo.
00:29:49If you look at the current price,
00:29:52it is a proof that they purchased a new gun and ammunition
00:29:57for the Honma family.
00:30:04One of the guns purchased by the Honma family was the Spencer gun.
00:30:10It was a new type of gun that could fire a series of bullets
00:30:14by loading bullets from behind the center of the gun.
00:30:18The Honma family was not the only one who contributed to the battle of the Shonai faction.
00:30:24The Honma family was not the only one who contributed to the battle of the Shonai faction.
00:30:30As the war progressed, the people of Shonai also participated in the battle.
00:30:36The number of soldiers who volunteered to fight was 40% of the Shonai army.
00:30:48The Shonai army attacked Shinjo Castle, the main base of the Shinjo faction,
00:30:52which had returned to the Shinseifu side the day after the victory at Funagata.
00:31:03The enemy attacked and retreated.
00:31:06The enemy attacked and retreated.
00:31:12If we lose this battle, the Shonai faction will be destroyed.
00:31:19I'll kill anyone who interferes!
00:31:26The soldiers were outraged by the commander's words.
00:31:32After the fierce battle, Shinjo Castle was besieged.
00:31:37Shinjo Castle
00:31:43At this time, Genba saved the lives of the surrendered enemy soldiers
00:31:47and paid back the debt to the Shinjo people.
00:31:53The Shonai soldiers were told that this was the order.
00:31:58They tried to avoid causing trouble to the people
00:32:02and treat the people of Shonai as if they were their own.
00:32:11It's important to know how the people of the area feel
00:32:15in order to carry out a strategy.
00:32:18It's the same in Europe.
00:32:20It's important to know that in a real battle.
00:32:23I can say that he was a very capable commander.
00:32:30After that, the Shonai soldiers advanced to Akita.
00:32:34In mid-August, they occupied Yuzawa, Yokote,
00:32:38Omagari and other important enemy bases.
00:32:42The Shinseifu army was closing in on Kubota Castle.
00:32:47Yonezawa
00:32:53On the other hand, the other Tohoku Shohan soldiers were forced into a fierce battle.
00:33:02The Aizu soldiers, who were considered super-enemies along with the Shonai soldiers,
00:33:06were attacked by the Shinseifu army and were driven into a siege from the end of August.
00:33:12On September 4th, Yonezawa surrendered to the Shinseifu army.
00:33:18On September 15th, Sendai surrendered to the Oguetsu-Reppan alliance.
00:33:29The Shonai army was the only one in the Tohoku region
00:33:34that continued the war against the Shinseifu army.
00:33:41The Battle of Sakai
00:33:47We just watched the battle of Sakai.
00:33:50Yamamura-san, you wrote in your letter that Tokugawa Yushinobu was a stupid general.
00:33:55That's quite a shocking statement, isn't it?
00:33:57Yes, it's quite shocking.
00:34:00It's true that Yushinobu was on the battlefield,
00:34:03and while his soldiers were fighting, he retreated from Osaka Castle and fled back to Edo.
00:34:09Although the Shonai army was struggling, Osaka Castle still had a lot of troops.
00:34:14If he had mobilized them, there was still a possibility of a reversal.
00:34:18There was a good chance of winning, but he abandoned all of that and fled back to Edo.
00:34:23It's understandable that he felt like a stupid general on the battlefield.
00:34:28Perhaps that was the true intention of the Shonai army soldiers at the time.
00:34:36Sato-san, what kind of person do you think he was on the battlefield?
00:34:40He was really good at fighting.
00:34:42He was a strategist and a strategist,
00:34:45and he was always trying to improve himself.
00:34:50I feel that he was a person who didn't have any worries about that.
00:34:56There were two younger brothers on the battlefield.
00:34:59When the younger brother went to the room on the battlefield,
00:35:02he said, there are a lot of interesting and rare things.
00:35:06He brought in all the rare things that came from the west,
00:35:10and he thought, what is this? What is this?
00:35:13He was probably a person with a lot of knowledge,
00:35:17so he tried to absorb everything that was stimulated.
00:35:20As a result, when he was in his 20s,
00:35:23he had this much ability and knowledge,
00:35:27and I think he had a lot of strength.
00:35:33When Sakai Genba fought against Akita-han,
00:35:37he wrote a poem called Hokusei Nijuzetsu.
00:35:40I'm sorry to say this about Satsuma,
00:35:43but Satsudo has the name of Kin-no.
00:35:48He clearly said that Satsuma didn't fight
00:35:53because he respected the emperor.
00:35:58It's not like that.
00:36:00He always thought about what he thought was right,
00:36:03what righteousness was, and why he should fight.
00:36:07That's how he left his mark.
00:36:10Earlier, Shonai-han said that Bushido was strong.
00:36:15I think he was trying to be cool from day to day.
00:36:18It's a little light to say that he was trying to be cool,
00:36:21but he was trying to be clean and polish his aesthetic sense.
00:36:26Even when he was beheaded or killed,
00:36:29he wanted to look cool.
00:36:32I think he was pushing forward the spirit of Bushido
00:36:35that the people could see and be convinced of.
00:36:39If you look at Shonai-han,
00:36:41he said that the new government's invasion of Europe
00:36:44was very unreasonable.
00:36:46He said that he was pushing forward justice
00:36:49against this unreasonable enemy.
00:36:51I think you can say that this kind of self-confidence
00:36:54was the spiritual strength of Shonai-han.
00:36:57Another reason why Shonai-han was strong
00:37:00was the wealth of the Honma family.
00:37:02The Honma family spent tens of thousands of yen
00:37:05to acquire the latest weapon technology.
00:37:08At that time, it was said that the Honma family
00:37:11wanted to at least become a lord.
00:37:14Even if they didn't get the Honma family,
00:37:17they wanted to at least become a lord.
00:37:22From the time of Tenpo to the Meiji era,
00:37:25about 500,000 ryo of money came from one Honma family.
00:37:29Of course, Shonai-han is strong.
00:37:32The strength of a weapon is the quality of the weapon
00:37:35and the strength of a soldier.
00:37:38In terms of the quality of a weapon,
00:37:41it's a really good gun.
00:37:44First of all, it's a rifle gun.
00:37:47Second, it's a motorized gun.
00:37:50Third, it's a serial gun.
00:37:53If you have a rifle, a motorized gun,
00:37:56and a serial gun, you can shoot
00:37:59more than three times more bullets.
00:38:02The difference between Sakata's port town
00:38:05and Tsurouka's Joka town is that
00:38:08Sakata's port town is completely different.
00:38:11Sakata's port town is all about making money.
00:38:14It's all about buying and selling.
00:38:17It's all about saving money.
00:38:20But Tsurouka's port town is all about
00:38:23being a samurai.
00:38:26It's all about fighting.
00:38:29It's all about fighting until the end.
00:38:32It's all about fighting until the end.
00:38:35It's all about fighting until the end.
00:38:38I think that's what made Sakata strong
00:38:41when the war broke out.
00:38:44It's time to make a choice.
00:38:47What is the choice?
00:38:50September of the 4th year of the Keio Regime.
00:38:53The Shonai army, which fought alone,
00:38:56set up a factory in Kariwano,
00:38:59the base of the Shonai army.
00:39:04The Shonai army had won many battles,
00:39:07but it was defeated by the new government army.
00:39:10but it was defeated by the new government army.
00:39:15On September 11th, Sakai was in a bad condition
00:39:18and couldn't even stand up.
00:39:21and couldn't even stand up.
00:39:25Even so, the Shonai army pushed through the disease
00:39:28and rode on the back of the soldiers.
00:39:36The Shonai army repeated the decisive assault
00:39:39and won the battle on September 16th.
00:39:45But...
00:39:50On September 22nd,
00:39:53the Aizu army, which was still on the battlefield, surrendered.
00:39:56The Aizu army, which was still on the battlefield, surrendered.
00:39:59The Aizu army, which was still on the battlefield, surrendered.
00:40:06Here, Sakai Tadazumi, the leader of the Shonai army,
00:40:09here, Sakai Tadazumi, the leader of the Shonai army,
00:40:12expressed his intention to apologize to the new government
00:40:15and surrender.
00:40:18He tried to end the battle before he was attacked by Ryonai.
00:40:23He tried to end the battle before he was attacked by Ryonai.
00:40:26In 2019, a document was found
00:40:29in the Shonai army.
00:40:35On September 25th,
00:40:38the Shonai army wrote a letter
00:40:41in Tsurugaoka Castle
00:40:44saying that they were going to surrender.
00:40:47saying that they were going to surrender.
00:40:50saying that they were going to surrender.
00:40:56In the letter,
00:40:59it was written that there was a rebel who strongly opposed surrender.
00:41:05On September 22nd,
00:41:08Sakai Tadazumi came back.
00:41:11Sakai Tadazumi came back.
00:41:14Sakai Tadazumi came back.
00:41:17I think the message of surrender
00:41:20I think the message of surrender
00:41:23was expressed by the main power of Shonai.
00:41:26However, one of the people who opposed surrender
00:41:29was Sakai Genba, I think.
00:41:32was Sakai Genba, I think.
00:41:35Sakai Genba was forced to make a choice
00:41:38Let's check this out.
00:41:41Let's check this out.
00:41:47The war is over.
00:41:53You have no choice but to apologize to the new government and surrender.
00:42:01If you continue to fight, your territory will be destroyed.
00:42:06You should avoid sacrificing your people.
00:42:12The Lord has shown his intention to surrender.
00:42:18As a servant, it is my duty to obey the Lord.
00:42:26No, wait.
00:42:28Our army did not lose the battle.
00:42:33Why do you have to surrender when the new government has not even stepped into the city?
00:42:44The new government did not attack properly.
00:42:50We do not know what will happen if we apologize.
00:42:55What?
00:43:00We have to fight and show them what we are capable of.
00:43:13The new government's response to the surrendered Tohoku people was harsh.
00:43:19In Aizu, everyone was banned from the city.
00:43:25Many people were exiled and their property was taken away.
00:43:31If the people in the city surrendered, there was a possibility that the same thing would happen to them.
00:43:38The New Government
00:43:43Will the new government apologize to the Tohoku people?
00:43:46Or will they fight?
00:43:49It was time to make a choice.
00:43:59As the Tohoku people surrendered, it was time to make a choice.
00:44:05Will the new government apologize to the Tohoku people?
00:44:09Or will they fight?
00:44:15Which will you choose?
00:44:18Mr. Yamamura, which will you choose?
00:44:21I will choose to fight.
00:44:25The New Government
00:44:27The New Government's policy is not to pass through the line.
00:44:33It is to take the power away from the Tokugawa.
00:44:37Even if the Shofan of the O-Uretsu Alliance surrenders,
00:44:42the Tokugawa will fight until the end.
00:44:48That is what I think.
00:44:51Mr. Sato, which will you choose?
00:44:54I will choose to fight.
00:44:58The reason is that we are still undefeated.
00:45:04We haven't lost yet.
00:45:06We still have the power to fight.
00:45:10We are almost safe in Hanyo.
00:45:13We still have the resources to win.
00:45:16Another reason is the sense of Tohoku people.
00:45:22It's September.
00:45:25It's a snowy season.
00:45:27It's going to snow soon.
00:45:30Satsuma and Choshu.
00:45:32Those who came from the west.
00:45:34If it snows, they won't be able to fight us.
00:45:38If we bring them into winter,
00:45:40we can fight with an overwhelming advantage.
00:45:44A decisive battle.
00:45:46Mr. Morita, which will you choose?
00:45:48I will also choose to fight.
00:45:52When I think logically,
00:45:55Gii is in the Shonai faction.
00:45:58The Shinsengun faction, as I said earlier,
00:46:02has the Kin-no faction.
00:46:04But that's not a real thing.
00:46:06I can't think of surrendering.
00:46:09The Sakai faction, the Sakai faction of Hanyo,
00:46:13is so close to the Tokugawa.
00:46:16They have such a great history.
00:46:20If I choose to surrender here,
00:46:23I'm going to deny the Shonai faction's history.
00:46:27I'm going to lose my identity.
00:46:29That's what I'm thinking.
00:46:32So you're going to fight.
00:46:35You all chose to fight.
00:46:38Isoda, which will you choose?
00:46:40I will choose to surrender.
00:46:44In a war, there's a limit to what you can do.
00:46:49There's a limit to what you can do.
00:46:52You have to break through that limit.
00:46:57If you go any further than that,
00:47:00you're going to be cornered.
00:47:04You have to be very careful.
00:47:07This is your only chance to make amends.
00:47:12Let's take a look at what Sakai has chosen.
00:47:18Surrender or not?
00:47:21The day after a heated debate.
00:47:27September 26, the Meiji Era.
00:47:33The Shonai faction surrendered to the new government.
00:47:39Sakai, who was opposed to surrender,
00:47:43chose to surrender.
00:47:49Tsurugaoka Castle was dismantled,
00:47:52and the new government came to power.
00:47:55Kiyotaka Kuroda and Takamori Saigo were in charge of the Satsuma faction.
00:48:02The Shonai faction's punishment was surprisingly severe.
00:48:11The Shonai faction members were banned from their homes,
00:48:15but no one's life was taken.
00:48:18They were allowed to wear katanas and leave freely.
00:48:25There were no robberies by the new government in Joka,
00:48:30so the people were able to live a normal life.
00:48:38Takamori Saigo was the one who ordered the punishment.
00:48:43He told the people who were in charge of the Satsuma faction.
00:48:50You don't have to worry about anything
00:48:54because you've already surrendered.
00:49:00After the punishment,
00:49:02the Aizu faction was deported to the Shimokita Peninsula.
00:49:07The Shonai faction lived on the territory of the Goman Kingdom,
00:49:12and they were also banned from their shops.
00:49:18The Honma family and the Ryomin family were the ones
00:49:22who banned the shops in the Sakai family.
00:49:27The Shonai faction members spread the anti-shopping movement,
00:49:32and the Honma family donated 50,000 ryo to the new government.
00:49:37This was the beginning of a change of policy.
00:49:44In Sakata City, Yamagata Prefecture,
00:49:46there is a Nanshu shrine dedicated to Takamori Saigo.
00:49:51The people of the Shonai faction donated the money
00:49:54to express their gratitude for Saigo.
00:50:00Many of the Shonai faction members,
00:50:02including Tadazumi Hanshu,
00:50:04who knew that the punishment for the Shonai faction
00:50:07was the order of Saigo,
00:50:09came to the Shonai faction in Kagoshima
00:50:11and asked for their advice.
00:50:14Three thousand members of the Shonai faction
00:50:17were expelled from their jobs.
00:50:20As they lived on,
00:50:22we sent a number of students to Saigo
00:50:25to ask for their advice.
00:50:27We sent them to the Shonai faction
00:50:30to ask for their advice.
00:50:44The Shonai faction members received Saigo's advice.
00:50:48They built the Matsugaoka Kaikonjyo
00:50:51in Tsuruoka City.
00:50:58In the 5th year of Meiji,
00:51:00about 3,000 members of the Shonai faction
00:51:03brought their swords to Kuwa
00:51:05and began the Kaikonjyo.
00:51:10Two years later,
00:51:12about 311 hectares of Kuwa fields were opened
00:51:15and the production began.
00:51:20After that,
00:51:21Tsuruoka became the birthplace of silk in Japan
00:51:24and began to support the Japanese economy.
00:51:32Matsugaoka Kaikonjyo was established in the 15th year of Meiji.
00:51:36Matsugaoka Kaikonjyo was established in the 15th year of Meiji.
00:51:39Matsugaoka Kaikonjyo was established in the 15th year of Meiji
00:51:42when the Matsugaoka Kaikonjyo was built in the 50th year of Meiji.
00:51:45According to a legend,
00:51:48Matsugaoka Kaikonjyo was established
00:51:51to serve as a place of worship
00:51:54and to show the country its respectable role.
00:51:57However, the Shonai faction was called the Zoku Army.
00:52:00The Zoku Army was the Zoku army's name.
00:52:03So the Shonai faction was established
00:52:06I think it's true that he wanted to be a role model for the country.
00:52:15Genba Sakai was a soldier of the Meiji government after the Boshin War.
00:52:21He died of lung disease at the age of nine.
00:52:24He was only 35 years old.
00:52:27Genba Sakai was a soldier of the Meiji government after the Boshin War.
00:52:37He was entrusted with an important mission, which was to develop a strategy for the war between Japan and the Shinkoku.
00:52:48Genba Sakai went around the vast Shinkoku,
00:52:52and investigated the land and weather.
00:53:00He wrote this in his report after he returned to Japan.
00:53:08It's not difficult to fight.
00:53:11But you should avoid fighting.
00:53:15Genba Sakai said that the battle with the Shinkoku, which would cause many casualties, should not be fought.
00:53:25It may have been his words because he had experienced the Boshin War.
00:53:37Genba Sakai chose to surrender to the new government.
00:53:41Mr. Yamamura, what do you think about this choice?
00:53:44If Aizu surrendered to the new government,
00:53:47he would have had no choice but to do so.
00:53:53If Aizu had surrendered to the new government,
00:53:56there would have been a way to fight together for Aizu's rescue.
00:54:01Furthermore, if he had cooperated with Aizu much earlier,
00:54:05I think the situation would have changed a lot.
00:54:09The new government surrendered to the new government,
00:54:12but the treatment after the war was surprisingly generous.
00:54:15I think the last phase of the war was very important.
00:54:20In fact, during the Boshin War,
00:54:23almost no one was involved in the last phase of the war.
00:54:27At the final stage,
00:54:29when the government was in the middle of the war,
00:54:32and my brother died in the first battle,
00:54:35I thought it was not the time to relax until I died.
00:54:40I think the last phase of the war was very important.
00:54:43The last phase of the war was a very old war.
00:54:46It was a war between Shonai and Satsuma,
00:54:49who had defended the Bushido in the borderlands.
00:54:52I think Satsuma was also trying to defend the Bushido.
00:54:56If the last phase of the war hadn't come,
00:54:59I think the war would have been carried out.
00:55:04I think the last phase of the war was very important.
00:55:07I have a great sense of justice for Shonai.
00:55:10In the future, I think it is bad to leave the name of Shonai in history.
00:55:15If you treat Shonai badly,
00:55:18there may be a legendary existence
00:55:21where there was a very strong Shonai in the desert,
00:55:24and then it became like this.
00:55:27I think we need to admit that we were more generous.
00:55:34Let me add one more thing.
00:55:37I don't think I was that generous.
00:55:40I don't think I was that generous.
00:55:43When was the first time that the order for the transfer of the law was issued?
00:55:48When was the first time that the order for the transfer of the law was issued?
00:55:51It was December 25, the year of the Meiji Revolution.
00:55:54If you think about what happened last year,
00:55:57it was the Yakiuchi Incident in Satsuma.
00:56:00Mr. Isada clearly said he couldn't forget the threat of the coup.
00:56:03He decided to make no suspicion of it.
00:56:06Even though a small number of Bourgeoisie had surrendered,
00:56:09I don't think it was a strict treatment.
00:56:12Even though a small number of Bourgeoisie had surrendered,
00:56:15I don't think it was a strict treatment.
00:56:20What do you think of what happened on the scene?
00:56:23The teacher on the scene was Mr. Tokugawa.
00:56:25I think we were influenced by Mr. Tokugawa.
00:56:28Ieyasu has fought Hideyoshi once before, right?
00:56:34He won the first round and won the second round.
00:56:37Then he jumped into the enemy's trap.
00:56:40That's how he got a good position.
00:56:43In short, Ieyasu did the same thing as Komaki Nagakute did.
00:56:47A samurai has a will, so you can't surrender right away.
00:56:50You have to find your own strength.
00:56:52If you don't show it, it's definitely no good.
00:56:54And if you take off your helmet, you really lower your head.
00:56:56If the enemy is a decent samurai, you have to admit it.
00:56:59Because he was the last one.
00:57:01In fact, the people in the city didn't talk much about Sakai until now.
00:57:08In the war between Tohoku and Boshin, it's like fighting between neighbors.
00:57:14In the battle of Funakata, Shonai, Tsurouka, and Shinjo
00:57:19Even now, I can go by car for a little over an hour.
00:57:22It's really close.
00:57:24At that time, Sakai was a hero.
00:57:29There was a situation where he couldn't go outside.
00:57:35But I think it's time for me to talk about it.
00:57:39I think it's time for Sakai to go nationwide.
00:57:44I'm going to talk about it more and more.
00:57:50Finally, Mr. Isada, this time you mentioned the Shonai and Sakai sites.
00:57:54How did you feel?
00:57:55It was interesting.
00:57:57At the end of Sakai, I went to Shinkoku to investigate.
00:58:02And when I read the diary at that time,
00:58:04I was looking at how the AF-2 landed in Tenshin.
00:58:09And when I ran into a Chinese military officer,
00:58:11I counted the number of guns and reported it to him.
00:58:15From the point of view of supply and population,
00:58:18it may be easy to fight,
00:58:20but I think it would have been difficult to find a route to start fighting.
00:58:25This is very realistic.
00:58:27Samurais in the Edo period were quite realistic.
00:58:30They were people who came out in the middle of the fight.
00:58:33However, the Satcho side made a mistake.
00:58:39They took action on the continent and eventually destroyed the country they created.
00:58:43I feel the depth of Tokugawa samurai.
00:58:51Thank you for your time today.

00:59:47Frankly, we did win this election.
