It is not possible to eat me without insisting that I sing praises of my devourer?
Tokugawa Kamenosuke

Though I am but a boy, I have taken it upon myself to join my Samurai compatriots in the assault upon Sado. May all whom hesitate for fear, witness their families dishonor and ruin before their very eyes. To this end, I have mandated that Keisuke be made Daimyo and take martial control of the attack. Furthermore the Foreign minister, is to seek the merchant party leader Katsu Kaishu and proceed upon his merchant ship to the Sado port of ogi, to conduct diplomacy on behalf of Ezo. By shogunate Edict may it be done, or may they face loss and condemnation for their failure and cowardice.

As I gaze out upon the water, preparing myself for the ordeal to come, I wish only the fairest winds for the diplomatic envoy I have sent, it is right that only the grandest merchant and his fine ship ferry our humble diplomat to treat with the Meiji dogs.

For those whom pledge their swords should diplomacy fail, only the greatest hounour awaits us.

May our flag fly proudly.

Regarding the control of sado, it is my decision that we split the island under sever daimyo, notably the honorable Matsudaira brothers whom fought so valiantly to secure it. Such worthy courage, and the bonds they portrayed under battle surely cements them as worthy to rule part of the island. I shall draw up divisions once I consult with them. Of course sado will answer fully to the congress and president of the glorious Ezo republic, this is just a local control matter of which I wish to solve. Having lost his leg, it is only right that Katamori be allowed to continue to serve with distinction and honor, with local lordship over at least part of Sado.

It has been brought to my attention that Katsu Kaishu wishes to challenge our honorable president in this coming election. I ask all voters of Ezo, why should we elect this man, this cowering geisha snake, into office? Already he violates government orders, already he spits on diplomacy, sullies our constitution, and makes a mockery of our elections! Is this the man we want to let lead our great, and growing republic?


In regard to President Enomoto Takeaki's proposed samurai registration act, full support is given by the Tokugawa shogunate.

Tokugawa Kamenosuke

With Sado, momentarily pacified my thoughts turn now to an issue both historic and administrative. The allotment of land to honorable men, who will serve the shogunate with the rank of daimyo. After tedious deliberation with Tokugawa advisers we have found the men whom will serve as daimyo, and the land they must improve and serve honorably from.

Sado, in purple shall remain Mine personally.
The sea green region shall come under Governor daimyo Matsudaira Naritami me (ooc:hes an NPC Tokugawa sphered anyways)
Governor daimyo Nagai Naoyuki is given the yellow region.
The light orange region, after much deliberation will be given to the Matsudaira, namely Matsudaira Katamori.
the green region is given to Matsumae Takahiro as an act of reconciliation between the two clans.
Light blue is given to Kasuga Saemon
Brown allotted to Tsukinoeaino of the Ainu
Our current president, now daimyo Enomoto Takeaki is given the lands in blue
Pink is for our loyal army minister Otori Keisuke
Red for our Security Magistrate: Hijikata Toshiz
The region in orange for Arai Ikunosuke
Finally Light purple for high judge Takenaka Shigekata

management of these lands is left to their governor daimyo. So long as the lands are managed fairly no problem shall arise.
Honor to the new daimyo. Honor to Ezo, and Sado.

I can not, in good faith leave my support unto this bill, when our foe is across the waves reaching for a dagger. Once the situation with the Meiji is addressed, and even a weak peace reached, then I may focus on matters of population. Until then my mind is with the men of our grand army as we prepare to make a desperate defense against the Meiji dogs.

I am honored to see Matsumae Takahiro willingly take the role of daimyo, for though we may have had our grievances it is only right that a family as old and wise as the Matsumae be granted this honor. My other newly crowned daimyo Kasuga, has also proved his worth exceptionally, with his skill in the arts. May his wise ways, transfer well to the administration of his holdings. Finally the removal of that insidious and foolish bill has been struck down, showing that ezo is a nation of men, not desperate cowards. However not all is well. It saddens me to see disdain for the appointment of an Ainu chieftain, for they have proven to be as courageous as any Samurai. I hope in due time that we may all come to accept their role in ezo.

Bill 2-3 Fills me with a sense of disgust. Given his recent proposals to Ezo, I am starting to wonder if the noble president is mentally stable, or worse, whether he truly has Ezo's interests at heart. I could never stomach the loss of Ezo's rightful lands to the Russian devils.

However I now have a tale to relate to my samurai.
Once there was a women, so foul and shrew like in temperament that none could bear her company. She stank of cow, and had the ravenous hunger of a an unleashed typhoon. Yet the gods were cruel, and blessed this creature with the visage of a goddess. Men from around the countryside all tried winning her hand, forgoing her absurdities. The first man to win her favour, was left destitute after beuying her the finest silks, though he was happy until she moved on to another. Shamed, he committed honorable suicide, departing this world for his mistakes. My point is men, many of you are young and not nearly so sardonic as I. be careful of the devil woman, for her beauty at night may distract you from her evils in day. I only say this, because I know. For you see that woman was.... My eldest sister.

In other news, I wish my eldest sister the best as she marries Mr. Blakiston. May this cement ties between myself and Britian.

Its cute to see Bill 2.6 try to strip me of my powers of shogunate, but also highly insulting. YOU do not posses the power to give fiefdoms to daimyos, nor will you ever. Sado is not being split and those whom served already received their fiefdoms on the mainland. Aside from as obvious power grab, its disrespectful to the old ways for some cur to insinuate he can perform the duties of the shogun.

Though I thank the Shogun wholeheartedly for his endorsement of our faction for the Congressional elections, I am saddened to see his opposition to Bill 2-6. I understand that denying to one Matsudaira brother what is given to another will balance the power of fiefs in Ezo, but Sado is significantly smaller than Ezo and these men fought bravely to deserve what they have. It is rooted in tradition for Shoguns to reward their best warriors, and is the loss of a leg insufficient to warrant reward? These brothers are meritorious, so I plead for you, Lord Shogun, to be generous and give them their deserts.

I don't oppose from a disregard of my men, I opposed from outrage that you would have the audacity to take it upon yourself to perform my duties. You now insinuate wrongly, that I did not reward my men. You ask is the loss of a leg enough to merit reward, and I tell you that for his valour, the brave man who lost his leg now holds daimyo over the richest coal lands in ezo. Your serpent like attempts to weave the minds of my daimyo into feeling that they have not been rewarded, when in fact they have, and in fact were rewarded with far more than 1/5th of a tiny island is deplorable, and is reason for me to regret giving you a position, oh minister of fallacy and half attempted slander. Perhaps I will be withdrawing my support of the Right party now that I see what kind of lies they spin and what presumptuous steps they take. Remember your place, minister

In fact the dishonor you do me with this statement is appalling.
"These brothers are meritorious, so I plead for you, Lord Shogun, to be generous and give them their deserts."
They have received their deserts as could best be facilitated, as they know. Why do you do this to me minister? Is it a power play? Spite? Some grand and nefarious machination yet unknown, rotting away in the dark womb of your snake mind?

I thank the Magistrate for his willingness to bring whatever miscreant performed this appalling crime to justice, but I wish to be allowed to head this investigation, for it was my family preyed upon and I will not rest until I find who perpetrated this crime. I wish to investigate this along with the Authorities, as to me no one is beyond guilt for this crime, and none are yet vindicated.

in fact if the authorities are willing, I wish to head this investigation personally. I will take leave of my military duties, and track down this man. I mean this not as a sign of disrespect, but at the moment I trust no one.

It appalls me that cowards would turn my family tragedy into an excuse to bring to light political machinations. Approach me all of you with your staged investigations betraying dark political schemes and call it justice?! I call it a dishonor to samurai and every man in Ezo. If you were so far enraged by the wedding of my sister why did you not meet me on the field like a man? Why did you not meet me face to face? You skulked in the shadows liked a damned rat, then using dishonorable tactics, killed a woman on her wedding day, and slew British nationals over your political greed. Ezo does not have a government so much of a nest of silver tongued vipers, and I spit on your contrived investigations, and politically charged suspects.

In response to the deposed army magistrate and former samurai, by act of congress it is vested within me to remove the status of samurai, and daimyo as well. Found guilty of gross dishonor you may no longer hold a position in this congress or vote, as you are no samurai only a peasant. This is not up for debate as it is clearly written, and fairly evident.

Recently and at the expense of the Tokugawa family, I have expanded and worked the mines on sado, that recently fell into my ownership.

I cannot and will not stand idly by while the forces who brutally murdered my sister attempt to cover up those responsible in her grisly fate; the appointment of one Jules Brunet, the special adviser to the President--the President who, I might remind you, is a chief suspect--is a miscarriage of justice.

What is project Red Eagle, who is in charge? A faction within the government is looking to extort credits out of our governments coffers with threats of assassination and with very little explanation on who is running this project, what the project is, and on who's authority it is being ordered.

I refuse to allocate funds for secret pet projects of congressmen, and I know that congress should not approve of any secret measures that would drain our meager budget in this time of war.

In light of these events I may have to prepare for my resignation as I am rapidly losing faith in the ability of many of my fellow congressmen and many of my fellow ministers to successfully defend and run this country.

an excerpt extracted from a letter given to a guard loyal to Ezo and not to a foolish man, power hungry and mad

.... This man, this president seeks to brand himself the emperor, and in his own delusional mind he sees himself fit as the man to rule. Samurai take heed, already he seeks to discard your titles,and bastardized your heritage. Ainu take heed, already has he sold off your lands given to you by Me as a sign of goodwill. Brave warriors take heed, already has he plotted the assassination that led to the fatal day on the mainland leaving your brothers slain. Ezo take heed, for this man would kill our emperor and leave our nation in ruin for the slightest delusions of power. It is absurd that a boy of 15 would kill his own blood, a boy that has been going bankrupt to provide for our defense, to provide for my vassals, to provide for ezo. Yet, here we are with a man that has done nothing of gravity but propose the corruption of our blood with opium fiends and whores, arresting a boy whom has provided more for ezo and the true emperor, than our so called president...

....I would lend all those who still support the path of virtue and honor to look towards the loyal samurai as the last bastion of sanity and decency in ezo.... restore the shogun, revere the true emperor and expel the barbarians friends, this is what I ask of you as the hand of our president chokes the lands into decay.

..... though it may be just a symbolic gesture to a fool so far corrupted by the meiji, I strip the president of any semblance of samurai status by the powers given to me through fair and just legislation, let it be known our president is no more a samurai than a dog.

The shogun has passed a note to his guards, to be used as evidence to debunk this theory.



quote:

Suzu Nakamoto: Nakamoto, a low ranking retainer of the Tokugawa clan, had been detained by authorities in the investigation into the bombing at the Blakiston wedding. After repeated and aggressive interrogation, Nakamoto implicated three fellow retainers in a conspiracy to harm foreigners at the Blakiston wedding by planting a bomb under the tent and detonating it during the ceremony. He claims the orders came directly from the shogun with no intermediaries, and he followed the orders as any underling should. This witness is under heavy protection, and represents the strongest witness against the shogun.

quote:

My friends, it is well known that under torture and duress, men will say anything to alleviate their own personal torment. Are we to rely on the testimony of a man that would of implicated his own grandmother if only to ease his suffering. The torture itself illustrates yet more dark and underhanded tactics used by the Government to facilitate their nefarious goals. Surely if the man wished to serve to condemn me he would of approached you as a friend and equal under the law. The fact that you must resort to underhanded and brutal gangster tactics to deal with a "witness" only illustrates the depravity of the forces that hold me a political prisoner.

Kinzo Takashita: Takashita claims to have sold large quantities of fertilizer and other potentially explosive materials from his large farming estate to a man claiming to be a "large landowner" from somewhere near Lake Ozuna (the location of the Shogun's budding castle complex). The bomb utilized at the wedding could have been constructed with such materials.
May a man not indulge his passion for a garden? Surely this fertilizer bears no realtion to my attempt to construct a new and gourgeos center of the republic, but perhaps that transition of power only incited the men who falsely imprisoned me to accelerate their plans.

quote:

Aoki Fumiko: Fumiko claims that the young shogun boasted to her of "a great calamity soon to befall the foreign devils" some weeks before the wedding, as she joined his harem of young women and men as part of his daily pleasure harem.

Let us start with a reading from a dictionary, as im sure the morons who think this fallacious plot will succeed, have no grasp of grammar.
Calamity: an event causing great and often sudden damage or distress; a disaster.
Damage: injury or harm that reduces value or usefulness

My friends what I told my cute little concubine was only about my sexual conquests of a foreign woman, whom arrived for the wedding. I was planning to take her womanhood, and that is the calamity that would occur. A sudden damage to her hymen would strip her virginity and leave her with less value in marriage. Surely it is not out of place to give a but of hyperbole concerning my sexual conquests to my concubines?


quote:

Tomoaki Okuda: Okuda claims to have seen some men burying something in the night, approximately 8 days before the wedding, in the location where the tent would be. As groundskeeper, Okuda approached the men, and was told that foundation was being laid for the future tent sight, and did not question the samurai who were above his rank.

The government of Ezo claims that the Shogun and his family represent the only party, other than the English, that could have had access to the wedding to the extent necessary to store the explosives. This is due to the enhanced security brought to the wedding by Blakiston and his British allies. The Shogun and his followers did not need to follow the strict protocol, and those bearing the seal of the Tokugawa clan could largely ignore the checks and searches, as well as curfews, imposed at the wedding site.

I will address the actions of these samurai, under attempted cover up.

quote:

Exhibit C: Attempted coverup

Shortly after the incident, someone attempted to disturb the crime scene by disturbing the dirt surrounding the suspected area in which the bomb was buried. The government contends that this was an attempt to coverup the bomb's location, and make the dirt disturbed in such a way that would obscure the bomb's location. This was not particularly effective.

Of the three accused by Suzu Nakamoto of being a part of the conspiracy to harm the Blakistons, two of them are now dead. Both were found drowned in the sea shortly after the Blakiston incident. The third is currently missing. The government contends that this is no accident.

Both of these facets of evidence seem to suggest one thing to me. A group of rouge samurai, ronin had become displeased with the shogunate allowing one of its daughters to marry the white man. Sadly they took matters into their own hands, and latter upon realizing they had killed the wrong person, they became ashamed to betray their shogun in such a way. Ritual seppuku remained that last way for them to regain honor, so they sought to kill themselves to find honor, explaining the deaths and the disappearances. perhaps they even robbed me of my fertilizer to accomplish the heinous act. These may have been the samurai whom constructed the tent, and had security clearance to the wedding which only further explains why they took seppuku over dishonor after abusing the Tokugawa name for selfish interest.

quote:

Exhibit D: Role of Sadaaki and Naritami?

Interrogation of those involved in the Sadaaki led mob lead to three confessions of guilt, in which they admitted to their desire to harm Blakiston and his wedding guests. Sadaaki has thus far been unabashed in his anti-foreigner rhetoric, though no direct evidence linking him to the bombing plot could be found.

The raid on the Tokugawa estate revealed no evidence of any further cooperation by elites or leaders within the Tokugawa household, including chamberlain Naritami or any of the shogun's young siblings. Whether this is due to the concerted effort to conceal evidence, as seen by the absence of records or notes pertaining to the wedding, is unclear.


How the hell is finding no evidence evidence to try me on?

quote:

Motive?

The one weakness in the prosecution is the motive. While Blakiston claims that this plot was hatched to secure his fortune for the Tokugawa family, no other evidence has substantiated this motive. The witness claim no knowledge of why the Shogun might have ordered the bombing. It is also unclear whether Blakiston's fortune could even have passed into Tokugawa hands in the event of his death.

So the people whom would see my gone have no motive for why I would slay my sister. Interesting as we have plenty of motives for why they would falsely have me arrested and imprisoned, such as to remove a political opponent.

OOC: Regardless of the outcome of the trial on my Shogun character I'm most likely going to have to drop. Its an amazing game but I have 3 exams in the next week, a final paper, than its straight to finals.

Shogun
Concerning my honorable death.

It has been agreed that I will commit my seppuku in a public square in full of view of the people of ezo, in the city of Hokkaido, as I have always found its cheery trees beautiful this time of year. Good bye ezo.
