Chapter 38 16. Love with one sleeve

The order to return quickly was not just for Ryoma, but for all students from the Tosa Clan.From the perspective of the Fan Hall, Ryoma and others in Kobe are also similar to Takeshi.Fan hall wants them to go back and put them in prison. Ryoma laughed.He is not as obedient as Takeshi Hanheita, and he doesn't pay much attention to Tosa controlled by Rongtang. With a contemptuous expression, he stuck his little finger into his nostril, and under the watchful eyes of the little supervisors, he dug out a black lump and held it in his hand. "This is the order of the vassal! Don't be rude!"

At this time, the vassal should have knelt down to accept orders. Ryoma did not yell, but lay down on the ground suddenly. "Because of such a feudal order, Hanpeita lost his life as a hero dedicated to the Tosa. What is the feudal order this time? Are you going to imprison me Ryoma too? Hmph!" "Sakamoto, don't be rude. We are sent by the lord, what's your attitude?" "Fart! What is the master's order!" Ryoma stood up and said angrily, "He should be merciful. Arbitrary people are arrested and tortured in prison. What kind of master is it? This is probably the conspiracy of those bastards and senior officials in the domain."

"Don't be rude." "Don't draw your sword." Ryoma stopped them with gestures, "As a supervisor, waving a knife in another domain to provoke the people of this domain, this alone is enough to constitute the crime of seppuku, and even the family that your descendants depend on for a living. The salary will also be confiscated, leading to the destruction of the family. If you lose your life here, it will make the situation worse." "You are a countryman, what nonsense are you talking about?" "Shut up! Japan is facing such a national disaster. Only those high-level officials in the Tosa clan still say that they can't get along with their own people. I told Takeshi that dreaming of the king of the whole clan with you people is just a dream. , but it's a pity he didn't listen to me. I don't play with you guys."

"It is unforgivable to speak wild words to the feudal officials!" "Oh, please forgive me." "Disrespectful! According to the law of the vassal, the sergeant can take the life of the villager at any time." The two little inspectors held long knives in their hands, and the five lower horizontal eyes quickly ran behind Ryoma. "You guys stop playing. Although I am keen on the navy now, I was originally a swordsman. Kill ten or twenty of you." Ryoma gave them a hard look, and said, "It's not a problem at all." He drove the feudal officials out of the gate of the school.Longma took a completely different approach from Takeshi, which made the feudal officials angry and angry.

Ryoma was once again out of the domain because he did not obey the order to return him to the domain. Not only Ryoma, but students from the Tosa clan at the Kobe Naval Academy received orders to go back, and they all refused.They agree with Longma's idea that the world is the greatest.Therefore, they all became people who voluntarily left the domain, and naturally became exiles.Since they were political prisoners, Tosa still sent people to search and capture them. Rong Tang was furious, and said: "Although Longma has never met me, he has left the domain once before. With Sheng Haizhou and Matsudaira Haruyue's dealings, I was able to absolve him of the crime of leaving the domain, but he was ungrateful and once again defied the master's order to leave the domain. "

When Long Ma heard the news of Rong Tang's fury, he laughed and said, "What do ignorant people know?" In Wushi's eyes, the majestic lord turned into an insignificant ignorant in Ryoma's mouth. The night the little inspector came, Ryoma wrote a very severe sentence in his notebook.In his opinion, although Rong Tang is wearing the cloak of a virtuous master, he is actually a comatose person.Longma's dislike for Rongtang made him angrily write: "Everything in the world, people, dogs, insects, beautiful, all living beings, there is no distinction between upper and lower." Longma is a warrior who has been educated in loyalty and righteousness.He was able to write such impassioned words, it seems that the royal party incident had a great impact on him.

Ryoma went on to write: "Japan's national style, except for the emperor, regardless of generals, daimyo, and family elders, are just false names and are not worth mentioning. The so-called salary is nothing more than bird food. The way of heaven created man, and it also created food for us. Some people are kept in cages like birds and eat a kind of food called 'salary'. But it is not only this kind of people who are called people. Rice is everywhere in the world. If the salary is not satisfactory, it should be thrown away." What is defiance? Ryoma's handwriting was taught by his older sister Otome.His spirit is also reflected in his unique font.

In the morning of the next day, Ryoma summoned the students of the Tosa clan and gave them a lecture: "If you care about the so-called feudal states and lords, you will not be able to achieve great things. If they attack, I plan to take up swords and guns to fight them, and you should also be prepared for this. " Ryoma is busy every day.Since the training ship has not yet been purchased, whenever the warships and steamships of the shogunate arrive at Tempozan Bay in Osaka, he will take the students to the ship to learn.Since Sheng had already negotiated the matter, the people on the ship could only let them use it.

During this period, the shogunate warship Jundong entered the port, and Ryoma commanded the trainees, sailing between Hyogo and Kidan Strait every day.Ryoma burned the boiler and climbed the mast.He was very clumsy at the beginning, but because he was a Lianjiazi, he quickly mastered the tricks of the operation, and soon he was more familiar than the waterman and fireman from the Yanbu Islands. In terms of weather forecasting, measurement, and agency operations, Mutsu Yonosuke and Mochizuki Kameyata are better than Ryoma.As the captain and commander, Ryoma was able to enter the room.Second only to Ryoma is a young Satsuma man named Ito Yuhiro. "Good job." Ryoma always praised him.

You Heng admired Ryoma very much, and even imitated Ryoma's walk.He often talked about Saigo Takamori of his domain. "Although he came from a humble background, everyone in the feudal clan admires him. Mr. Xixiang has a strong figure, and he looks a bit like Mr. Sakamoto." "Hmph, where does it look like?" Longma had heard of Xixiang, and later they became close friends.But at this time, Ryoma has no interest in Saigo.First of all, he thinks that people who are like him must be worthless.Yuheng Ito is thoughtful and cautious in his actions.When driving the boat, he was also very careful, even a little timid.Ryoma didn't like him.

"It's good to be prudent, but it's not good to be decisive. Prudence is the virtue of lower-level officials, and decisiveness is the character of generals. In this era, although generals and soldiers are born, you have to learn the bearing of generals." Between exercises, Mutsu Yonosuke would joke with Ryoma from time to time: "Mr. Sakamoto, I heard that Takeichi and his comrades encountered a catastrophe in Guifan. Can you still practice warship operations here calmly?" "No rush. It's useless to criticize the shogunate all day long. The time has not yet come. If the tumor hasn't grown, it won't be possible to strike." Longma believed that if people in Changzhou and Wushi in Tuzhou were so anxious, they would only increase unnecessary sacrifices, and nothing would be accomplished.The current situation and the cancer of the shogunate, in his opinion, have not yet reached the point where the knife should be dealt with. Ryoma set off from Kobe Village, and he was going to Kyoto to find Katsu Kaishu.He followed Saikuni Avenue to Hirakata, where he took a thirty-stone boat up the Yodo River and arrived at the mooring in front of the Fushimi Temple farmhouse at dawn. The figure of Long Ma getting off the boat and going ashore just caught Aaron's eyes. With a cry of surprise, she stood up.The short-sighted Ryoma also saw her. He glanced into the yard and said, "I won't stop, I'm going in a hurry." Aaron nodded with his face flushed.Deng Shi shouted loudly from the counter: "What are you talking about? Shrink your head like a weasel." "Weasels? That's too much." Ryoma walked into the yard and sat down on the stove without taking off his shoes. "It's getting cold." "Winter is coming soon. By the way, there is a lot of noise in Kyoto. The number of Shinsengumi has increased a lot, and they are patrolling the city every day." Long Ma took a sip of the bitter tea that Aaron brought up, and made a strange appearance. "Is it bitter?" "Ok." This is the finest tea from Uji.As expected, Aaron came from a good background. Even though he had experienced such poverty for a few years, he was still very particular about drinking tea.Regarding Aaron's meticulousness, Dengshi didn't say a word.As expected of Dengshi. "I grew up in the countryside. I can't afford to drink this kind of tea." "Then drink water?" Dengshi joked, "Did you drink tidal water in Tosa?" "What a sharp mouth." Longma couldn't do anything about it. "I heard that you left the domain again." Dengshi's news is very well-informed.This is because Teradaya is the designated boat inn of the Satsuma clan, and Tosa's king Zhishi often lives here.Regarding the news about the Qin Wang Zhishi in the world, perhaps no one is more well-informed than Deng Shi. "Yes, I have left the domain." "In and out." Dengshi thought it was interesting and smiled.But she quickly became serious and said, "Yesterday, I heard from the Satsuma people that the Tosa clan will do everything possible to catch you." "What are you arresting me for?" Long Ma tilted his head as if he had nothing to do with him, expressing his confusion, "Did you cook it?" Hearing Ryoma's serious question, Toshi burst out laughing. "Old Lord Tosa must want to treat you as an appetizer." "yes?" "You still have to be careful of Tosa, Shinsengumi and Mikaigumi, and try not to get close to Kyoto recently." "No problem." Katsu should live in the town temple of Teramachi.When Ryoma walked to the bottom of the Gion stone section, he ran into Yasuoka Kinma and Tonosuke Chiya head-on from the same school.Long Ma let the two follow Sheng to protect his safety. "What's wrong? Hanging out here." Seeing the reproach of Longma, the two said: "Mr. Sheng has gone to Ertiao City, we are waiting here for a stroll." "Idiot, follow Mr. Sheng." "No matter how chaotic the world is, it should be safe in the city." "You two idiots, I mean, if you don't follow Mister, you will be in danger. As long as you are by Mr. Sheng's side, the Shinsengumi will not dare to do anything to you. Mr. The team is staring at each other. When the two sides are together every day, they will be able to rely on each other and be safe." "Ah, that's it." Jinma scratched his head, "But Mr. Sakamoto, you? It's dangerous to walk alone in Kyoto." "I have God's blessing. Those who achieve great things have God's blessing." Longma strode forward. The weather is extremely cold.Ryoma grew up in the south, so he is very afraid of the cold.Although it was still late autumn, Ryoma could no longer stand the cold wind in Kyoto.It was also a very windy day.Long Ma came to the east bank of Si Tiao, and the wind blew his temples. He crossed Banqiao and walked to the lively Sijo West Bank.It is true that the ghosts will arrive, and the patrol team of the Shinsengumi is walking towards them. There are twelve or three people, all wearing team uniforms. With a big bun, shoulders shrugged, and a few pawns carrying a big box, majestic. No wonder the ronin in Kyoto are frightened, Ryoma thought to himself.Although it hasn't been long, compared with when Ryoma met Todo Heisuke and others, the scale and prestige of the Shinsengumi are no longer the same as before. The current momentum is huge and shocking. The man in the front is handsome, fair-skinned, with double eyelids.Yasuoka Jinma said that this person is the deputy chief Hijikata Toshizo.The ronin in Kyoto ran away from the Shinsengumi patrol like a mouse meets a cat.They are especially afraid of earthworks. "Mr. Sakamoto, it will be troublesome to be interrogated by those people, so let's go." "Ok." Ryoma disagrees. There are people on both sides, and the street is very narrow.If the stalemate continues, there will inevitably be a head-on conflict with the oncoming Shinsengumi. Hijikata, who was at the front, saw three Tosa ronin-like people approaching, and could easily tell that they were Tosa ronin from the style of their sabers. "Kinma, Tonosuke, I'll teach you a trick in swordsmanship." Ryoma narrowed his eyes. "What, what?" In front of the Shinsengumi, even if the two were not timid, they were already slurring their speech due to nervousness. "This coup is also applicable to all aspects of daily life." Ryoma asked the two to hide under the eaves on both sides, and strode forward alone in the middle of the road. This kid, want to fight?When Hijikata Toshisan and his men saw him, they immediately dispersed, drew their swords, and put on a fighting stance. The black kapok-pattern suit Ryoma was wearing had faded from running around every day, and it smelled of sweat.He didn't comb his hair, it was originally curly, and the hair on the temples was also curled up because he often wore a helmet, fluttering in the wind.At first glance, it looks like the door god is coming towards you.Besides, he was five feet eight inches tall, wore dirty clothes, and hadn't washed his face for three days. No matter how he looked, he looked like a bold wanderer who came to provoke trouble. "Everyone be careful." Hijikata carefully drew out the Izumi Mori Kanesada sword.He was taken aback, as if he had seen it somewhere before, but he just couldn't remember it.Thick eyebrows, a little nearsighted, thick lips.Ah, it turned out to be Ryoma Sakamoto from Tsushu.The earthworker remembered. When Hijikata was still practicing martial arts in that small martial arts gym in Edo, he used to go to the Chiba martial arts gym in Yuchi, Kanda to watch a martial arts competition through the relationship of an acquaintance.At that time, Ryoma also participated in the contest.Hijikata still remembered that Ryoma defeated three swordsmen from other schools in the blink of an eye. The natural Rishin-style martial arts school of Isamu Kondo, Toshizo Hijikata, and Soji Okita developed into the current Shinsengumi.The martial arts school survived mainly by recruiting Kondo and Hijikata's native Wuzhou Tama farm disciples. The swordsmanship master and acting master went to the countryside to teach swordsmanship, and what they taught was the natural Lixinliu.At that time, even well-known swordsmen, many people had never heard of such a school of swordsmanship in Wuzhou under the general's feet.Just as Ryoma and other Tosa locals are very hostile to the sergeants of the same domain, Kondo, Hijikata and others also have a feeling of hostility and inferiority towards Chiba, Momoi and Saito. "Higata." Next to Hijikata, Chief Director Okita stared at Ryoma and whispered, "That person is a bit tricky." "why?" "I can't say it well, but it feels difficult to deal with. It's not about swordsmanship, but something other than swordsmanship." Hijikata wouldn't say try it, he was cautious and extremely smart. When Ryoma walked ten meters away from the Shinsengumi, he suddenly turned his head to the left.There was a kitten there that looked like it was only about three months old.It slept soundly curled up in the sunlight under the eaves. According to the law, a samurai can kill anyone who walks in front of the team at will. The people in the Shinsengumi were furious, but the big man in front of him picked up the kitten and held it up to his face.While meowing and teasing the cat like a mouse, he continued to move forward, crossing the line proudly. Everyone held their breath.While they were still at a loss, Ryoma kissed the kitten, and passed through the middle of the team leisurely, continuing to the west. Shinsengumi to the east. "Am I right?" the young Okita Souji said to Hijikata Toshizo, "I can't kill this person." "What a weirdo." Tufang turned his head abruptly, and Longma imitated the sound of a mouse, and had already gone a long way. "It frightened us." Yasuoka Kinma and Chiya Tonosuke tiptoed to Ryoma's side, and said, "Those guys have lost a lot of arrogance." "It should be so." Long Ma said, "In this situation, the most taboo thing is to collide. If both sides have high fighting spirit, they will definitely fight." "How about escaping?" "Same. Although there is a difference between fighting and fleeing, they also have emotions. At this time, the opponent will chase after you. People's actions are mostly emotional outbursts. At this time, you must calm the opponent down." How about Shinsengumi at this time? "He's so brave." Toshizo Hijikata, who was walking in front of the team, sighed. "Yes." Okita Souji nodded. "Not only that. He calmed us down in an instant. You see, the expressions of our team members have changed, and everyone has become very kind like a child." "Oh." "We've been tricked." "It seems to be." Hijikata Toshizo nodded unhappily, thinking to himself, what a weirdo.He seems ambitious, and also seems to be just a lazy guy who likes cats. Ryoma lived in Kikuya, a bookstore on Kawaramachi Road, and either went to see Katsu Kaishu or the Tosa feudal lords. "Sakamoto Ryoma is here." The news not only reached the ears of the Tosa vassals and ronin, but also reached the ronin who left the vassals.They came to Ryoma one after another. "Mr. Sakamoto, are you home?" They would call when they came.The boy Minekichi from Kikuya was in charge of reporting them.Fengji was already staggering from exhaustion just to announce and pour tea for them. Fengji felt ridiculous.Whenever those ronin called Ryoma "Mr.", he couldn't help laughing. "Do I look like a gentleman?" Ryoma himself couldn't help laughing sometimes. Sir is very popular now.Even this teenager finds it strange.Before Ryoma came to Kyoto, there would not be so many ronin looking for him. One night, after the last customer finally returned, Fengji joked with Ryoma: "If you do business with such popularity, you can make a lot of money. My father said that everyone can make money for ten cents." "I'm also very embarrassed." Ryoma didn't make fun of Minekichi this time, but had a serious expression. "Why is sir so popular?" "Am I popular?" Ryoma immediately became serious.He felt that his current appearance was very funny, so he couldn't help laughing. From last year to this year, the vassal king ronin who left the feudal clan and came to Kyoto one after another, under the instructions of the chieftain of the San Feudal clan, either took over the killing operation known as "Tianzhu", or visited the leaders to listen. They talk about state affairs.They are Katsura Kogoro and Hisaka Genzui from Choshu, Kurume priest Izumi Maki who served as an advisor to the Choshu feudal clan, Takeichi Hanheita from Tosa, and others.However, Choshu collapsed in Kyoto, Takeshi was also arrested in this feudal domain, and Satsuma had formed an alliance with Aizu feudal clan. The ronin immediately lost their leader and backer, just like abandoned wild dogs.Moreover, after the establishment of the Shinsengumi and Mikaigumi, which did not exist last year, the scale of the organization and activities has grown, and Kanwang Ronin has become their prey.As long as the Shinsengumi finds them, they will be chopped up like carrots.The ronin had no money and was poor.Ryoma, who had "acted strangely" in their eyes before, naturally became the new leader in their hearts after Takeichi, Hisaka and Katsura. Times have really changed, and Ryoma finds it ridiculous. In Luozhong, there are two hundred Qin Wang Langshi.Ryoma regards them as unemployed.In this regard, he is different from Takeshi, Katsura, Hisaka and Maki, and even the former Qinghe Hachiro.He understood that first of all they had to have something to eat. Qinghe is instigating, while Wushi and Gui are erupting.At that time people were very radical and even thought that the shogunate would be overthrown soon.Therefore, people with lofty ideals all over the world, in order to join the army to fight against the shackles, rushed to the top with their family's precious swords.But only one year later, the current situation has undergone tremendous changes, and the trend of discussing the curtain has taken a sharp turn for the worse.When the tumor is not suppurated, the knife cannot be cut. This is Ryoma's view on the current situation.The tumor of the shogunate has only swelled up, and it has not completely rotted away.That's why the Shinsengumi ran rampant in Kyoto, beheading the barbarians with lofty ideals. Qinghe Hachiro, Maki Izumi, Takeshi Hanpeita and others left behind these hard-working rogues, and now they can only rely on Ryoma to think about survival strategies for them. First, in order to avoid the Shinsengumi, they must be allowed to leave Kyoto.Do you want to persuade them to return to their hometown?That is impossible.Ryoma himself is also a vagrant, and he is very aware of this.If a person who escapes from the domain returns to the domain, he will be arrested by the domain hall as a prisoner. That night, Ryoma was lying in the side room of Chrysanthemum House with his head covered. "Yes." He jumped up suddenly.Let them reclaim Hokkaido.He wants to turn Hokkaido into a place to garrison troops.Organize them into an army, and give them guns to defend against an enemy attack.In addition, when the time is right to discuss the curtain, they can be recalled from the north and join the team to discuss the curtain.If possible, you can also occupy Hokkaido, temporarily establish a kingdom of kings, and become independent... It seems that there is God's protection in the dark. In the future, the shogunate Mumoto Wuyang stood in the position of the shogunate and adopted Ryoma's idea. He also led the shogunate fleet and army to land in Hakodate and establish a temporary regime. The next day, Ryoma started running around to realize his idea. The shogunate felt troubled by the ronin lurking in Kyoto, and the shogunate would definitely be willing to pay.Ryoma went to Sheng Haizhou first. Shocked, Sheng said: "Ryoma, your idea is very strange." Sheng has a good intuition and excellent understanding ability, so he promised Ryoma: "I will help you." Ryoma immediately called the boy Minekichi and asked him to go to the nearby Changzhou feudal mansion.Although Changzhou has lost power in Kyoto, there are still a few vassals in the vassal mansion. "Who are you looking for?" Fengji asked while eating the steamed bun that Ryoma gave him. "Give this letter to a man named Tadasaburo Terashima in that domain." Chusaburo Terashima is 21 years old this year. He was a disciple of the late Yoshida Shoin. Later, he and his fellow disciple Kusaka Genzui killed each other during the Gamyomon Incident. Ryoma is not looking for Terashima, but the Tosa off-fan ronin who defected to Terashima and hid in the vassal mansion. "Go and go back." Fengji went out. It was raining outside and it was a surprisingly cold afternoon. Take everyone to Hokkaido.If the Hokkaido Tuntian Corps is established, Ryoma intends to let Kita Timo take the lead.Ryoma thinks Kita Bemo has this ability. Beitian has big eyes, dark skin, short stature, and looks as ugly as a kappa.There are no kappas in Tosa's rivers and mountains, but there are Shibaten dogs, which, like the kappa, are imaginary monsters.But people believe they exist. When Longma was still in his hometown, rumors of Chai Tian appearing in the river at the foot of Wutai Mountain spread to the city. At Takeshi's home, Ryoma heard the news from a friend. "Let's subdue it together," his friends said loudly. Without saying a word, Ryoma went to the river at the foot of Mount Wutai that night.Ryoma is curious by nature, he wants to see the legendary Chai Tian with his own eyes. It is said that Chai Tian is a kind of animal that likes to wrestle. When he sees people, he will say "wrestle, wrestle". Long Ma sat by the river, waiting for Chai Tian to appear. Soon, Chai Tian's black shadow pushed aside the reeds and came to the dragon horse. "Let's wrestle." Hearing what Chai Tian said, the dragon horse immediately rushed over and rode on Chai Tian's head. "You still dare to make trouble? If you still dare to make trouble, I will beat you to pieces." Chai Tian burst into tears.It turned out to be just a child.He found that as long as he said that, the adults would be very scared and run away one after another, so he played pranks all day long. Because they lived very close, Kitabemo came here in the rain soon.When he sat in front of Longma, Fang asked: "What's the matter, Sakamoto?" He looks more and more like a Shiba Tenu.His long hair was wet from the rain, and he looked like a little monster from a hometown legend. "When I see you, I think of my hometown." Long Ma laughed. "Yes." Bei Tian thought that Longma was expressing his fellowship with his hometown, so he responded in dialect: "It should still be autumn in my hometown, but it's really cold in Kyoto." Bei Tian is good-natured, but he acts vigorously and resolutely, and doesn't like to hurt the spring and the autumn. "What do you want from me?" He anxiously rubbed his thigh with his hand and asked. Kitato Jimo was born in Iwamedi Village, Tosa Takaoka County, the son of the village chief.Many of the village chiefs in Tosa are descendants of the survivors of the Nagasoga family, so they often have the temperament of a samurai.Compared with the village chiefs of Biefan, they don't care about bullying the people, but prefer to plead for the people.When Tosa's sergeant asked the village chief to hand over innocent people indiscriminately in the name of "disrespectful offender", they would never do so.There is a reason for this.In the eleventh year of Tianbao, when Ryoma was six years old, the village chiefs of Tosa County, Wuchuan County, Nagaoka County, and Takaoka County formed a secret alliance and concluded an agreement that "all matters must be handed over to the judge".Their reason is that farmers are not the private property of the shogunate, daimyo and sergeants, but the people of the emperor.It is a miracle of history that such an idea was born in the middle of the backcountry of Tosa.Moreover, there is another item in the additional items of this secret covenant: "If the sergeant still insists on acting recklessly, refuses to listen to advice, and wants to judge the people of the emperor privately, he can be regarded as an enemy of the court and killed without mercy. " This is a very aggressive secret agreement.Based on this alliance of village chiefs, at the end of the Bakumatsu, a royalist party with subordinate samurai and village chiefs as the backbone was born in Tosa, which even led to the freedom and civil rights movement after the Restoration.From this point of view, there is a fundamental difference between Tosa’s King King Movement and the King King Movement in Satsuma, Choshu. As the eldest son, Kita Timo Jimo was a student of Masaki Tsema, who committed seppuku. He was particularly talented in poetry, and some people even said that he was better than his teacher. In February of the third year of Bunjiu, Hokusame pretended to go to Arima Hot Spring to recuperate, and left the feudal domain with three comrades, and went to Ryoma in Kobe Village.Ryoma's words about Hokkaido really opened their eyes. "Beitian, don't you want to visit Hokkaido?" Ryoma said to Beitian. Beitian Jimo was shocked.Because in people's eyes, Hokkaido is a distant place of bitter cold.Moreover, Beitian Jimo and others left the domain for the fall of King Qin, not to go to Hokkaido. "Sakamoto, this is sudden. Are there any passionate people in Hokkaido?" "There are no patriots, but there are bears." "Don't take people for fools." Bei Tianbei said loudly. Nose Tatsutaro, Yasuoka Futaro, and Komatsu Kotaro who left the feudal domain with him were also furious.Everyone has just risked their lives to leave the feudal clan, and it is the time when they are full of energy. "That's all." Kotaro Komatsu, the youngest 22-year-old Kami-gun villager, persuaded, "Masters, Sakamoto must have his own considerations. That's why he said that. We just came out of the countryside and don't know the situation in the world. You It was too sudden to say let us go to Hokkaido..." Longma then said what he had been thinking about all the time. The so-called activities of people with lofty ideals cannot just be accomplished by mobilizing the ministers in Kyoto or killing important people from the Saba faction in the name of Tianzhu.Ryoma has always believed that the field of activity should be expanded to the north.He analyzed that Tsarist Russia will inevitably come to seize Hokkaido, Thousand Islands and Huatai. "If you don't understand Hokkaido, you can't talk about state affairs. If you don't even know Hokkaido, it's just a few nonsense to shout all day long." When everyone heard this, they were all at a loss.The focus of their thinking is quite different from that of Ryoma. In their view, Ryoma is just bragging. "I hope you will also visit North Korea and the Qing Dynasty by the way. I really want to conclude an offensive and defensive alliance with these two countries one day." Several people were stunned, and even felt that it would be inappropriate for them not to go. "We have no travel expenses." "Yes." Longma stood up and walked to the inner room, took out one hundred taels from the school's treasury, and put it in front of Beitian and the others. "Take these and go." Beitian and others were dubious, and then went to Hokkaido via Oshu. Nose Tatsutaro, who accompanied Kitazo, was a native of Aki Prefecture, who studied poetry and prose under Fujimori Taiga in Edo.Yasuoka Futaro is also from Yasuda Village in Aki County, and Komatsu Kotaro is from Katji Funaya Village in Kami County. Kotaro was suffering from tuberculosis at that time, his condition worsened on the way, and he died of illness on the way to Hakodate by boat.Kitasumi and others transported his body to Jizo Mountain in a fishing village called Shirizawabe near Hakodate and buried it.The remaining three people took the recommendation letter obtained from Katsuki through Ryoma's dealings, and found Hakodate Nobuki Koide Yamato Mori.Xiaochu was very lonely in Rendi in the north, so he warmly entertained the three Tuzhou wanderers.With the help of Yamato Shou, the three arrived at Echa, then returned, went to Oshu by the way, landed in Oma, the southern feudal domain, and then passed under Morioka Castle, all the way south, passing Sendai, Fukushima, Shirakawa, and in this year I arrived in Edo on the tenth day of July. They took Ryoma's letter of recommendation to Shigetaro and Sanako and stayed at Chiba's house for a few days.The two brothers and sisters warmly entertained them.In Edo, they happened to meet the shogunate's warship Nishigami. Relying on Sheng's face, they returned to the top on the warship. At that time, only Yasuoka Futaro joined the Tenju group under the persuasion of his fellow villager Yoshimura Totaro. Later, he became the leader of the artillery team and moved to various places in Yamato. , sent to the Hexagonal Prison in Kyoto.In the first year of Yuanzhi, he was killed by a clerk at the age of twenty-six.The body was buried in the bamboo forest in Erjo, and has never been found since then. Nose Tatsutaro joined the Changzhou ronin team in July of the first year of Yuanji, retreated to Tenno Mountain after the Battle of Hagomon, and committed seppuku with 17 people including Maki Izumi. Their leader "Shibaten" Kita Bemo later met the Shinsengumi in the Ikedaya Incident and died in battle. The rain dripped from Beitian's long hair, and the boy Fengji served tea. "What's the matter?" Bei Tian was shivering from the cold, and asked after taking a sip of tea. "How much land do you see in Hokkaido?" "It's boundless." Bei Tian made a look of looking into the distance. The dragons and horses are counted, at least 300 to 400 rogues can move into Hokkaido to reclaim land.Of course, permission must be obtained from the shogunate, and Ryoma also has to ask the shogunate to contribute. It seems that he has to go to Edo. Ryoma asks Kita Timo to recruit two Hokkaido ronin armies. "No." Bei Tian resolutely said, "It's fine for us to be coaxed by you to go to a remote place like Hokkaido, but I oppose sending comrades there. We still have things to do in Kyoto." What Beitian is thinking now is not Longma's roundabout strategy of saving the country.His idea is to respond to the Changshu Domain, rise up in Kyoto, occupy the palace, set fire to the towns, attack the resident of the shogunate Kyoto Guardian (Matsudaira Yoho, the lord of the Aizu Domain), defeat the Shoji Dai, and establish a new government. He fled to Changzhou, established a new local government, commanded the world's famous people, and fought against the Edo shogunate. "Courage is commendable." Ryoma clapped his legs and said.But his heart is not like this.In fact, he had already predicted that the King of Kings Ronin, who was being chased and beaten every day by the shogunate, would eventually have such an idea. "However, it will not succeed." Ryoma asserted. "Why?" Bei Tian looked serious. "Beitian, if people want to succeed, they must rely on the luck of heaven. The so-called sky is the situation, or fortune. If you can ride the horse of the situation or fortune, great things will be accomplished in one go. To achieve great things..." Long Ma said, "First of all We must work hard to learn to discern the weather. Bei Tian, ​​look at my family crest." "Wise Kikyo." "I don't know if it's true or not, but the Sakamoto family is said to be descendants of Akechi Mitsuhide's general Akechi Samasuke." Samurai families were often proud of their lineage.After the Tokugawa family claimed to be Yoshisada Nitta, the Yamauchi family, the lord of the Tosa domain, claimed that their distant ancestors came from the Fujiwara family.Ryoma knew that these 80% were fake.Ninety percent of the three hundred vassals grew up during the Warring States period, and after gaining status, they began to fabricate their families.It is said that after the failure of wisdom, the son of Samasuke, the lord of Omi Sakamoto Castle, was exiled to Tosa, and has been living and multiplying here, which is the origin of the Sakamoto family.The Sakamoto family was regarded as a prominent family in Tosa, but Ryoma laughed it off—it was just the descendants of farmers who reclaimed wasteland in Saiya Village, Nagaoka County. With the land and money, they bought the status of a villager, but they were still the sons of farmers. Immediately, Long Mafang claimed for the first time that he is "a wise offspring". "Akechi Mitsuhide didn't grasp the timing of the weather, and was eager for success, so he killed Nobunaga at Honnoji Temple and lost his life. Hideyoshi grasped the timing of the weather, so he won the world. Kita, our luck has not arrived." "Here we are." Bei Tian said loudly. Ryoma refused to admit defeat, and shouted: "Not here! Beitian, you unreasonable guy!" In Ryoma's view, the Satsuma and Changzhou feudal quarrels are increasing day by day.Even if Ronin and the Choshu Domain occupy Kyoto by force and establish the Kyoto regime, the Satsuma Domain will not cooperate, and they will even join forces with the Aizu Domain, which has formed an alliance, to crusade against Choshu. "Judging from the current situation, as soon as Changzhou comes out, the Sahui and the two feudal clans will immediately hinder it. Of course, because the Sahui and Sahui are stronger in terms of force, they will definitely turn Changzhou into an enemy. Hahaha. Bei Tian, ​​you will definitely think that I am talking nonsense, how could Changzhou be an enemy of the court? But, does the Changzhou Fan really want to serve the king?" "Dragon horse!" Beitian Jimo pulled the long knife over.He was rightly annoyed.For the Qinwang rogues under the sun, Changzhou is their base camp.Respecting the king and fighting against the barbarians, the Changzhou Fan is a "sacred fan" who has received the holy order. "Do you think Changzhou will become an enemy of the DPRK?" "Kitato, think about it carefully, think about Japanese history. For hundreds of years in the Ashikaga era, Kusuki Masanari has always been an enemy of the court. Why? Because he was defeated." When the people with lofty ideals are obsessed with the Mito-ryu's respect for the king and fight against barbarians When he advocated, he was a little more sober.When he looked at history, he did not mix any ideological factors.The idea of ​​respecting the king in the Mito style is an ideology.They use Qin Wang and Fei Qin Wang to divide history into two colors, and evaluate characters based on this.However, the Mito-ryu's idea of ​​honoring the king is not meaningless in the history of the Restoration, it is even the mainstream at this time, and it is a distinct revolutionary thought that contributed to the Restoration Movement.It is precisely because of this kind of thinking that the shogunate that is still in power can be denied, and even the intellectuals of the shogunate almost have this kind of thinking.Because of this, with the surging turmoil at the end of the shogunate, those in power in the shogunate became weaker and weaker. But Ryoma didn't want to say this, what he wanted to say was "the winner is king".Those in power in Japan have always been in the company of the strong, and the weak are thieves.From Ryoma's point of view, Takeichi Hanpeita is still a typical loyal king who died because he insisted on his own ideas. "The Satsuma clan and the Aizu clan are invincible in the world. They are powerful and can influence the court's will at will. They will forcefully demand that the court be an enemy of the Changzhou clan, and join hands with the shogunate and the three hundred princes to destroy Changzhou." Bei Tian said nothing. , because he thought of that too. “所以，我们要创建一个'北海道藩'。” 北添倍摩大吃一惊：龙马的想法太天马行空了！ 龙马的梦想是在濑户内海创建一支亦商亦兵的船队，如果可能，还在北方的北海道创建一支陆军。“如此一旦与幕府打起来，便能海陆呼应。可能的话，扩充这两支军队的实力，直到无敌。北添，这样一来，不管是倒幕还是尊王攘夷都不再是一纸空谈。你率领陆军，倒幕事成之后，作为北方边境的守卫，开垦北海道。我开展我的海运业。” 北添这时想起了一种说法——坂本的牛皮。 “我不愿意。”北添依旧固执己见，听不进龙马的建议，他只想坚持在京都发起暴动。 “也罢，我去江户，做做准备工作，等我回来之后再跟你商量。”龙马无奈。 “你是想让幕府出钱？肮脏的钱。” “你这是什么话？幕府是自家康以来日本三百年的政府。那些钱都是百姓的租税。这是日本人的钱而不是德川家的私有财产。既然要为日本所用，那还跟幕府客气什么？” “那是敌人的钱。” “幕府也是日本的。我并不认为幕府是日本人的敌人。罢了，我不与你争论了。反正，先去要钱。”龙马用手指弯成银钱的样子，说，“没有钱能成事吗？”龙马一直和北添佶摩谈至深夜，才总算说服了他。最终北添倍摩答应，只要龙马募到钱，他就去召集浪人。 “好，明日就去江户。”龙马大声道。他的脑中浮现出海陆军的威容，觉得大事已然成了一半。 北添佶摩冒雨回去了。 龙马请胜给自己写了一封荐书，正好幕府的汽船要从大坂天保山湾开往江户。 “我坐船去。”他便乘船离开了京都。 他要从寺田屋的海边乘顺淀川而下的三十石船，因此必须去一趟船家客栈寺田屋。 龙马边招呼边走进院子。老板娘登势站了起来，对龙马道： “阿龙病了。” 龙马到阿龙的房间，只见她满面通红地卧在榻上。“发烧吗？”他摸了摸阿龙的额头。很烫，就像火一样。“什么时候开始发烧的？”龙马看着随后进来的登势，问道。 “这……”登势苦笑道，“问她不就好了？” "indeed." 龙马再次看了看阿龙那双因为发烧而湿润的眼睛，心中一跳。二人的脸上都闪烁着异样的光芒。 “从昨天傍晚开始发病。” “不会丢命吧？” “岂有此理！”阿龙和登势都惊讶不已。小小伤风，怎么会死？ “就是有些发冷。我一伤风就会发烧，每次都这样，不用担心。” “大夫怎么说？” “伤风。”阿龙小声说道。 “坂本先生，你住上十天，好好照顾照顾她。” "That's all." “罢了？” “她既说不会死，我就坐今晚的船去大坂。我得赶紧去江户。” 佐那子在龙马脑海中一闪而过。他很是困惑：我到底倾心于哪一个？连自己都不知道，摇摆不定。 登势心明眼亮。“脸色很怪啊，不会是想到江户千叶家的大小姐了吧？” “这你都知道。”龙马感叹。 登势无奈地笑了，阿龙也无奈地微笑着。 “坂本先生，即便真是这样，你也得拿事作托辞。你这样说，阿龙岂不可怜？” “但是我不能留下来照顾她啊。”龙马老老实实道。 “你可恶。这样定会招女子恨。” "That can't be helped." “阿龙。”登势附在阿龙耳边说道，“这种人有什么好，别理他了。” “但他对我有恩啊。” 登势顿时笑得前仰后合。“对，你是为了报恩。好个知恩图报的姑娘。” “不不，不是那样。” “就这样说。这样很好。对这种薄情郎，就得这么说。” “是这样？”龙马怏怏不乐，到现在还没有抓住阿龙的心啊。 正好，大夫来诊。来者是伏见的名医山根祥庵。因为阿龙是同行權崎将作之女，祥庵看病时格外用心。“这好像……”他歪头道，“不仅是伤风。” 龙马虽是个外行，也能看出阿龙的病情非同一般。她不仅发烧严重，还咳嗽，多痰。 “要是贻误病情，可能导致痰结痛。” 真是那样，性命堪忧。 “这两三天看看情况再说。一定要多加小心。” 龙马紧紧地盯着大夫。那人留着光头，身形肥大。 “会死吗？”龙马小心翼翼地问道。 “啊？”祥庵睁大了他那双小眼睛，许久才明白龙马的意思，冷冷道：“怎么能问大夫这种事情？” “浑蛋！”龙马恼了。大夫不就是诊断生死之人吗？ 祥庵点点头承认。“但是，我们在大多数情况下无法断言生死。”真是倨傲不逊的大夫。 "why?" “这种事情要问那些算命的。我山根祥庵不会逊到不遵天命。” Ryoma was speechless. “大夫越是用心，就越不敢下断言。我说多加小心就是此意。” “哦。”龙马总算点头表示同意。祥庵貌似偏执，说活却在理。 “乞丐也能活到九十。即便有十个御医整天围在身边为自己号脉的王侯，也终究会有一死。” “有理。” 这个市井大夫的话，直击龙马内心深处，他忽然感觉自己明白了许多。生死置之度外，他心道。寿命自有天定，人只要将生死交付上天，拼命去干自己的事业便好。 “我明白了。”龙马看了一眼阿龙，道，“你的寿命由天定。我要坐船走了。” "Ok." 阿龙呼吸艰难。 龙马乘着幕府的军舰朝着江户出发了。这艘船叫蟠龙号，木造，载重三百七十吨。 “坂本，是第一次坐这艘船吧？”舰长松冈磐吉站在甲板上对龙马道。他穿一身礼服，海军服的袖子上绣着三道金线。他是伊豆韭山代官江川太郎左卫门的家臣，在长崎学习海军，被幕府任命为军舰士官。咸临号赴美时，他是测量士官。后来幕府投降，他与復本武扬一起奔走箱馆，降后在狱中病故。他性情朴实，脚踏实地。 “第一次坐。这船真破啊。” “不，这艘船很好。” 蟠龙号是一艘纵帆船，有一个一百二十八马力的蒸汽机。顺风的时候可以不用烧炭，靠帆行进。船原来叫皇帝号，是英国制造的。在英国，这艘船是作为王室的游船而造，安政五年，维多利亚女王将船送给了日本幕府将军。 两根桅杆上船帆飘扬，航行在纪州湾，左边就是熊野的山脉。有一根桅杆上悬挂着日章旗。 龙马饶有兴致地看着那面旗帜。“人们说的日之丸，就是那个？” 文久三年八月初七，幕府出于外交的需要，认识到应该定下一面国旗，于是有了这种旗帜。龙马听说，由于这面旗帜的设计独具匠心，欧洲很多小国纷纷来日本交涉，想要买走。 此旗说来话长。当年丰臣秀吉攻打朝鲜的时候，就是使用这面旗帜作为大旗。有记录说，加藤嘉明的家臣、大名鼎鼎的墒团右卫门直次曾经是有几个榻榻米大的大日章旗旗手。从秀吉无意间使用这面旗帜来看，这面旗应是颇受认可。萨摩的岛津家如今已经将这面旗帜作为船旗使用。幕府决定将这面旗帜作为国旗时，参考了岛津家的船旗。 虽然日之丸已经定为日本国旗，但实际上只有陆军和舰船使用。所以，在鸟羽伏见之战以及接连发生的关东战争、东北战争、箱馆战争，革命军使用的是日月锦旗，幕府军队则是用日之丸。 总而言之，这时的龙马看到日章旗，感到非常新鲜。 龙马这时对船已经非常熟悉了，甚至连蟠龙号的士官都感到非常惊讶。“可以当个不错的舰长了。”松冈磐吉夸奖龙马。他并不是奉承。 第二天夜里，舰船在骏河湾中航行。龙马受松冈之托，当上了临时的值班士官。 The moon is out.龙马在航海日志的末尾写下“月色皎朗，深夜，骤雨一阵”，旁边再添一句“风力六级”。正适合扬帆行船。 龙马还记下各种测量仪表的数据。这些东西看起来很难明白，但是习惯了之后，龙马发现它们都是一些很有意思的“家伙”，他将这些“家伙”称为机器的随从。他常对人说：“如果好好使唤这些家伙，就能知道自己现在在哪里，应该做什么。”比如可以用六分仪测量太阳与星辰，由此知道天体的高度。不管在大海的什么地方，都可以用经线仪和天文历计算出准确的位置。 龙马从这些知识中体会到了改天换地的诀窍。不断地测定时代的风力、湿度和晴雨，弄清自己的位置，然后判断应该做什么。龙马是绝对不会像北添佶摩那样在暴风雨中扬帆出航的。 不久，船抵品川湾。龙马立即去了桶町千叶家。 总管与平道：“真不凑巧，大当家、少当家和小姐都去了玉池，傍晚应该能回来。” “是吗？那我就先去办点别的事。能借我一双鞋吗？” 龙马换了草屐，他想去拜访幕臣大久保一翁，和他谈谈组建北海道浪人军队的事。“回来可能迟些。” "yes." 脚力真壮，与平目送着渐行渐远的龙马的背影，感叹不已。 大久保一翁正好在家中。龙马被带进书房。壁龛中堆着大量中外书籍，角落里还放着一个地球仪。地球仪的托台上，刻着金属家纹——大久保家系中，有一个叫大久保彦左卫门忠教的，曾追随德川家康打天下，所以这个特殊的家纹非常著名。 一翁名忠宽，他们家的人，名字都带有一个“忠”字。 大久保一翁乃是将军庆喜的顾问，在这一点上与被称为德川家光谏言官的彦左卫门相似。彦左卫门乃是率领千军万马的大将，征战多年，晚年逢太平之世，无法适应时代，自称“战国遗老”，反抗当时懦弱的世风，做出了许多奇行怪事，可以说是一个有气节的保守之人。一翁不同。他和胜海舟一样，是幕府中为数不多的思想进步之人。他没有彦左卫门那样清高，是个真正的官僚，能识时务。 正因如此，才受到洋派将军庆喜的赏识，给他安排了一个合适的职位，能够充分发挥他的才能。 龙马背地里将这位幕府的高官称为“彦左卫门”，也许应该称作“摩登彦左卫门”。 “何事？”一翁拿着烟盆出现了。他皮肤白晳，额头宽阔，眼中总是带着笑意。 “如若现在沙俄从沿海各州进攻北海道，幕府会怎样？”龙马开口便道。 “应该不知如何应对。”一翁搪塞道。 “仅仅如此吗？” “应当是。除了苦求横滨外国公使干涉俄国之外，别无他法啊。” “不打一仗？” “当然要打。要是不打，原本可能会替我们周旋的法英等国肯定会蔑视我们，自己也抄起刀来，跟沙俄一起瓜分我日本。” “明白，是要与之一战。但谁与之战呢？旗本八万骑吗？” “他们？他们肯定不顶用。” 正如一翁所说，经过了三百年的太平安逸，当年的八万铁骑早已失去了战国三河的野性。一翁逐渐入龙马彀中。 “是的，靠旗本肯定不行。”龙马毫不客气地说道。 一翁苦笑，他也是旗本之一。但他比谁都清楚，包括自己在内的旗本，已经没有肩负时代使命的气概和能力了。“诸藩的门阀以及享受厚禄的武士也不行。他们过了三百年丰衣足食的生活，不可能为了时势不惜性命。”总之，上层已经无法改变这个腐朽的时代。 “庶民就可以吗？”一翁怀疑地看着龙马，道。 龙马也困惑地摇了摇头，“不行。” 因为在德川的统治下，老百姓已被奴化，麻木不仁。而且，他们只有欲望，无知无识。德川政府奉行“民可依不可使知”，使万千百姓成了只知交纳租税的工具。换言之，他们成了对社会不负责任的阶层。 “大久保大人，生成这样一种奇怪的阶层，正是德川家之过。” 龙马将日本的平民和美国的公民相比较，说出了这样的话。值此国家多难之际，占据日本人口大多数的平民却在袖手旁观。这样想来，日本真是一个与众不同的奇怪国家。在所有人口中，九成是平民，一成乃武士。只有武士，才会对自己的身份自豪。 “坂本君，也不仅仅只是有过。武士在美国和大清都是没有的。” 武士的上层已经腐朽，希望在下级武士。他们大多家境贫困，有身为武士的知识和道德，又有野性与气概。 龙马说，从这个意义上来看，聚集在京都的勤王志士，大多出身下级武士，最具野性与气概。 “把他们送往北海道？”就连大久保一翁也颇为难。他们一心攘夷倒幕，对于幕府，就像是毒物。 “他们或许是毒物，但是无毒的那些却没有用处。毒物运用恰当，或许能成良药。” 直到半夜，龙马才说服了一翁，一翁方答应将这个方案上奏幕府。 二人话毕，大久保一翁点上纸烛，用手护着灯，将龙马送到了玄关。“对了，我把最重要的事忘了。”一翁站在式台上，自觉糊涂可笑。从他那张笑脸可以看出，他要说的肯定让龙马高兴。 “是军舰的事吗？”龙马道。 "Guess right." “什么时候能给我？要不然，现在就给我，我开回去。”龙马一只脚还在式台上。 “且慢，你说得倒像要小狗小猫似的。那艘船两三天内就能回航到品川湾，或许你能坐船回大坂。” “我开船回去！”龙马一高兴，唾沫喷到了一翁脸上。 一翁实在忍不住，擦了一把脸上的唾沬道：“你能不能别这样？” 但是龙马依旧笑着往他这边靠，“是哪一艘？” “观光号……喂喂，你离开一点。”一翁赶紧往后仰。 龙马欢喜雀跃，这实在是他生平最畅快事。他出了大久保家，打着灯笼，在寂无一人的路上匆匆走着，几次高呼“军舰”。他就这样一路雀跃到了佐竹侯的中府邸，正要拐弯，一条狗朝他吠叫。他吃了一惊，才终于平静下来。 观光号载重四百吨，船龄十四年，有点老旧。这艘船是在荷兰制造的。安政二年，荷兰国王将其作为礼物送给幕府，让人开到了长崎。这是幕府拥有的第一艘洋舰，胜海舟等第一期海军练习生正是在这艘军舰上学习航海技术的。 这是一艘有三根桅杆的纵帆船，装有一个一百五十马力的蒸汽机，六门大炮。幕府将这艘船借给了佐贺藩训练海军，现在佐贺已将军舰还给了幕府。 马上就有练习舰了！龙马万分高兴地回到了桶町千叶家。看门人吃惊地说道：“您是早晨回来啊。” 一抬头，东方的天空已经开始泛白了。 龙马走到井边。少当家重太郎刚刚起床，正在洗漱。 “哎，小龙啊。”重太郎不及擦脸，就嗔道，“门上都告诉我了，说你刚进门又不见踪影。昨晚住哪里？” “在大久保大人府上。”龙马感觉背后有人走了来，是佐那子。 龙马跟佐那子打招呼。她掩饰不住内心的喜悦，道：“脱藩以后，你比以前更脏了。” “我可是真正的天竺浪人啊。只是脱藩之后，老家不再给我寄钱，实难忍受。嗯，我饿了。现在想想，昨晚到现在，还什么都没吃呢。” “不吃不睡，去哪里了？”佐那子的口气就像是责备一个调皮的孩童。 “真正丢脸。你先别骂我，给我做点吃的好吗？” “马上就去。”佐那子一路小跑着离开了。 “小龙啊，你赶紧娶了她吧。妹子看起来不以为意，内心对你十分倾慕，为了你可是不顾一切呢。” “不要说笑。怎么会有人看上我这种流浪汉？”龙马不接他下荐。 “你梳梳头。看来你是坐军舰来的，海风一吹，根根竖起。” “哎，先不说头发的事。”龙马兴奋地将自己弄到观光号的事告诉了重太郎。 重太郎也高兴地抓住龙马的手，道：“哈哈哈，小龙，你马上就可以实现大志。真是人贵有志啊。想来你一个浪人想要军舰，大家肯定都以为你在说梦话。我一开始也很吃惊，没想到你终于还是弄到手了。真是难以置信。是真的军舰吗？” “是真家伙。”龙马苦笑道，“能开。船叫观光号，只要有一艘，就能到天下任何地方。” “干得好。”这个善良的剑客热泪盈眶。 “好了好了，我饿了。” "Yep." 重太郎忙吩咐厨房备饭。他这个人太善良，有时做事有些轻率。 早饭准备好了，龙马坐到饭桌前。佐那子伺候他用饭。重太郎和八寸都不进来，大概是想给他们二人单独相处的机会。 “真冷。”龙马拿起筷子，打了个冷战。腹中空空加上一夜未眠，觉得冷。“多吃点。”佐那子劝道。 一会儿工夫，龙马便吃下三碗米饭，喝了两碗汤，气色才终于好了些。“我忘了向你道谢。今年夏天，北添佶摩等人从北海道回来，住在这里，很是安适。有事我还会劳烦你的。”他似把闻名天下的千叶武馆当成了同志的江户客栈。 “土佐人真是有意思。他们说什么脱藩周游天下之后，才终于吃到了白米饭。” “那倒是真的。”龙马觉得有意思，“今年秋天在大和起事中牺牲的那须信吾，来自一个叫祷原的山村，村人靠吃稗子和小米为生。虽是武士，其实都很贫困。换成江户和京坂的商人，那种生活一天也受不了。” “你家可是个不一般的有钱人家啊。” “所以才养出我这么一个性子。” “而且还是次子，有姐姐疼。” 要是市井中的女子，定会骂他没心没肺。 “遇到你也
