Sakamoto Ryoma, who spent three years in Keio University.

In Sakamoto, Tianshouge set a fire by himself, but fled to Nagaoka Prefecture in Tosa, and opened a izakaya "Color Valley House". From the fourth generation to the eighth generation, he was qualified as a country scholar. Eight Lang Wei Bing's name is Naichi, and he is the grandfather of Ryoma Sakamoto (real name Naoyu).

Ryoma Sakamoto was born on 6th 1 15 10 (1836, 13 10) in Tosa Mountain (located in Shikoku Island, now Kochi Prefecture), Kochi Prefecture. His ancestors ran the Caiguyu Hotel and sold sake. Later, they obtained the status of local scholars, that is, the lowest samurai class who paid for it (the samurai class of Tosa Francisco can be mainly divided into the higher rank staff sergeant class and the lower rank corporal class, and there are various differential treatments between the staff sergeant and the corporal, so the corporal class has long been suppressed by the staff sergeant class).

His father Sakamoto is straight and his mother is lucky. It is said that when her mother was pregnant, she dreamed that Yunlong was running in her belly, so she was named Malone. He is the youngest son of Sakamoto's family. His father has a big brother (Quanping) and three sisters (Rong and a daughter). Therefore, Malone is different from most other reformers. First of all, he is humble, just a countryman, and then he is rich (Cai Guyu is one of the best businessmen in Tosa).

Defeated swordsman

Ryoma Sakamoto was born in the invasion of western capitalism at the end of the shogunate, and Japan was in an unprecedented era of national crisis. At this time, people of insight in Japan had a high sense of national defense. In order to defend Japan, samurai began to practice martial arts, especially fencing, which was once revived and fencing halls all over Japan flourished again. Teenager Sakamoto is no exception. He studied fencing at the fencing hall of swordsman Hineno in Kokura School near his home. The children of junior soldiers are gathered here, and there is a strong sense of freedom without restraint.

Sakamoto, 19 1853, 199 years old, went to Edo, entered Beichen, Jingqiao Town, and sent Chiba Ding's fencing hall to further practice fencing. He kept in mind his father's warning-never forget to practice loyalty and filial piety first, never waste money on material things, never forget national affairs and concentrate on learning skills. Two years later, he finally obtained the teacher's secret certificate, and moved his household registration to the Ding Fencing Hall in Chiba and settled in Edo. In the fourth year of Anzheng (1857), Tosa Lord Toyoji Yamauchi held a martial arts competition in Edo, and dozens of swordsmen participated in the competition, Sakamoto and.

Teru Shimada Xiao Ye won the competition.

The fencing hall at that time was not only a place for practicing martial arts, but also a political school. The young people of the governors discussed the affairs of state and how Japan should treat its foreign enemies. To prove their point, they traveled all over the world (Francisco) to collect information, and then returned to Edo as materials for discussion. Ruishanwu of Tosa, Nobuyuki Takayama of Changzhou, and Kogoro Kwai are such young people. In the first year of Wenjiu (186 1), Ruishan in Urumqi organized the Tosa Wangqin Party in Edo Mansion, and returned to Tosa to expand the organization, with more than 200 participants, Sakamoto being one of them. 1862 65438+ 10 Sakamoto went to Changzhou on behalf of Zhu Ruishan, the leader of Tosa Wangqin Party, to meet with Hisaka Xuanrui, the leader of Changzhou Wangqin Party, and ask about the world situation. After returning to San Francisco in March, he resolutely left San Francisco.

At that time, it was a felony to leave the vassal, not only to be executed, but also to implicate the family. Because of Sakamoto's desertion, his sister and daughter B had to divorce and gave Sakamoto's sister Rong a famous knife to commit suicide. Brother Quan Ping finally saved himself from a large sum of money. He himself became a professional revolutionary after leaving Tosa Francisco, but the severe test of life awaited him.

After the curtain fell, the only way out for people who left the vassal state was to send troops to riot. For example, Yoshlmura Tara-Tatro, a pioneer in martial arts who started the "Tianzhu Party Rebellion", had a strong desire for fame and fortune. However, Sakamoto left the vassal not for fame, but to get rid of the shackles of Tusa vassal full of reactionary forces and gain freedom of thought and action. Therefore, Sakamoto did not follow Yoshlmura Tara-Tatro, but traveled around Kyushu, went to Edo via Osaka, met Shogun Katsumoto, and learned navigation from him. Wushi Ruishan wrote poems praising his decisive desertion;

Courage, strange machine spewing out.

Who knows diving, but not ashamed of the name of the dragon?

1after the coup in August, 863, the radicals, including three Shi Mei and seven other ministers, didn't lose power. They respected the king and sent foreigners to be the insiders.

Expelled from Kyoto. Tosa's conservative Toyoji Yamauchi suppressed the loyalist party headed by Ruishan in Takeshi, and Takeshi was arrested and committed suicide. This is the result that Wu can't get rid of feudal thoughts-loyal to the emperor, loyal to the generals and loyal to the famous soldiers. Sakamoto cooperated with Samoan to establish Kameyama Trading Company, which specializes in trade, transportation and purchase of weapons and ships between Samoan and Samoan, surpassing the "one school, diligence and imperial way" of Ruishan in May.

Sakamoto worshipped Laozi all his life and called himself "the natural hall". He accepted nihilism from Laozi, that is, he regarded himself as empty. Laozi's thought that "when we return to nature, people only have the meaning of existence in nothingness or emptiness" attracted Sakamoto's attention most.

This spirit of wanting nothing and self-denial is embodied in "I don't want other people's evaluation" or "I don't agree with other people's evaluation", as his teacher Sheng Haizhou said, "Action is in me, evaluation is in others, and it has nothing to do with me". 1867, Sakamoto didn't brag that I had come up with "eight strategies in the boat" when he confided in Jiro Goto, so Goto, Toyo Yamauchi's favorite, took it as a vassal theory of Tosa and further developed it into a proposal to return the shogunate's major policies. This matter even participated in the major political return movement at that time with Goto, and drafted "Five"
