It is impossible to do bad things because it is easy to fail. Everyone wants to succeed and do good things.
So even though what Du Lan said was very reasonable, but he said doing bad things as a test, the three members of the True Selection Team disagreed. They were all upright warriors and would not do bad things.
Du Lan smiled. If the Shinsengumi did good things, they would die faster, because it would be a good thing for the shogunate, but a bad thing for the people. It would be a good thing for the samurai, but a bad thing for the country.
The real selection team's vision is still not broad enough, but Duran knows that no matter what he says, they will not listen. After all, they also have their own positions, and it is impossible to say that they will change 180 degrees in one day.
Even if three people can change, it is impossible for the more than 100 members of the Shinsengumi to change in one day. The Shinsengumi is not an individual, but an organization. If you want to change, you have to do ideological work. It is impossible to change overnight.
.
So Duran didn't make things difficult for them. At least they already knew the dilemma, and the next step was to find a solution. Of course, it was very likely to fail. After all, if you can solve the problem when you see it, then the problem is no longer a problem.
The reason why it is a problem is that it is difficult to solve.
The contradiction between the old and the new within the True Selection Group is still very fierce. It is difficult to create a flow through assessment. It is very likely that the assessment will be opposed by both the old and the new.
The old people think that the assessment is an excuse to beat themselves up, while the new people think that the assessment is biased towards the old people. After all, the old people have more experience and it is easier to take the assessment. The new people are primary school students, and the old people are at least junior high school students.
If you want everyone to accept the assessment, the assessment must be balanced, which is difficult to achieve.
Anyway, the real selection team is caused by internal and external troubles. Once the problem is recognized, it is difficult to change it.
Of course, it is difficult for Gui to create a state of being 'on the road to success'. If he continues to fail, his enthusiasm will be dampened. If he succeeds, he will be unlucky and have to find a new 'road to success'. But where in the world is it?
Are there so many paths to success?
If there were many paths to success in the world, then everyone wouldn't have to worry.
"It's all very difficult, but Gui is still a little more relaxed. After all, it's easier for people with anti-Yi patriots to change. Anti-Yi people with patriots are not on the 'road to success' right now. If they see the possibility of success, they can go on it. And the Shinsengumi is already on the way.
'On the road to success', it is difficult to suddenly change the track." "People always long for a full state, but it is difficult to maintain that state. Most of the time, human nature is not fixed, and it keeps changing after thinking about it, which will cause anxiety.
"Dulan said that the nature of human beings is like this. If you want to solve it, you can only stare into the abyss. At that time, you may be able to replace fullness and anxiety with madness.
The True Selection Group needs to change, and change takes time. So does the True Selection Group have time? Can they complete the change before conflicts break out?
Sometimes it's like this, there is a problem and there is a solution to the problem, but there is no time.
The reason why it is easier to turn around a small ship is because it takes less time to make a change. It is difficult to turn around a big ship because it takes a long time. During the turn around, it may have hit an iceberg. It is not that the iceberg cannot be seen, nor that it does not know how to avoid it.
, but there is not enough time for them to avoid it.
The new representative of the Shinsengumi is a gentle man with glasses, Ito Kamotaro. He is good at both civil and military skills, but he dislikes Jushiro Hijikata very much.
Because Jushiro Hijikata is the representative of the old people, and because he and Isao Kondo spent a long time together, he became the deputy team leader. As for Jushiro's ability, I really didn't see it.
In fact, the two of them are very similar. They both want to get ahead, but their paths are different.
Ito Kamotaro's path was to study hard, because the opportunity to become a samurai was not his, but belonged to his eldest brother. But because his eldest brother fell ill and died, he had the opportunity to become a samurai. When he was in the rural kendo gym,
He worked very hard and did not dare to slack off when he came to Edo.
Hijikata Jūshirō took another path, which was to compete in kendo halls. He found kendo halls everywhere to compete in and increase his reputation by going to kendo halls.
Their methods are different, but their goal is to become famous.
There is no room for two tigers in one mountain. On such a small stage as the True Selection Group, there is no room for two people who want to stand out. Not to mention that both of them have similar status and are very humble. It is impossible not to get involved.
However, if there is no involution system within the Shinsengumi, it would be difficult for Ito Kamotaro to replace Hijikata Jutsuro and to stand out in the Shinsengumi. Although Kondo Isao respects him, this respect makes Ito Kamotaro
Taro felt that he could not integrate into the Shinsengumi and could not replace Hijikata Jūshirō.
At this time, Takasugi Shinsuke found him and proposed a series of plans to weaken the Shinsengumi and overthrow the shogunate.
It can be said that he has found an opportunity to stand out. If you want to become famous, you must take risks. It goes without saying that the corruption of the shogunate will be over sooner or later. If you really become a part of overthrowing the shogunate, your status will naturally increase.
Anyway, there is no chance to get ahead in the true selection team, so why not help Takasugi Shinsuke.
Starting from a rural kendo gym, I studied hard all the way to Oedo. Only here did I realize how luxurious it is to get ahead. Since the Shinsengumi didn't have the chance, it was not impossible to take an unusual path.
So the two hit it off and decided to launch the Shinsengumi rebellion. In order to overthrow the shogunate's righteousness, they first weakened the power of the Shinsengumi and assassinated Isao Kondo.
Although Isao Kondo may not look serious, he is the soul of the Shinsengumi because his companionship unites everyone.
It's a pity that Ito Kamotaro doesn't feel that Kondo Isao regards him as a companion, and the respect of the other party will only create distance between them. There is no room for improvement in the Shinsengumi. The old people are just sitting there, and the new people can't display their talents. Although Kondo Isao
He keeps saying he protects his companions, but his attitude towards the old and the new is completely different.
Companion? Kamotaro Ito doesn’t feel like he is a companion of the Shinsengumi.
On the contrary, Takasugi Shinsuke admired him very much and praised him for his talents. Compared with the two, Kondo Isao was not as good as Takasugi Shinsuke.
Isao Kondo has a lot of work, and he really doesn’t have time to get to know every member. Shinsuke Takasugi specially took time to communicate with Ito Kamotaro, and the exchanges were mutual.
It's like many elderly people complain that their children don't accompany them, but people who sell health care products and medical equipment are more friendly.
Children have jobs and their own lives, so of course they cannot stay with their parents all the time. People who sell health care products make money by pleasing the elderly. During working hours, they just talk to the elderly. Isn’t that ‘kind’?
Many elderly people do not consider the cost of time at all.
Ito Kamotaro didn't consider the cost issue either. Anyway, he just felt that there was no chance for the Shinsengumi, but he had a lot to do with the Ghost Soldiers.
In fact, Takasugi Shinsuke is just a painter, but because of his cordial communication, Ito Kamotaro thinks that he has a chance to rise. He believes that in the Ghost Soldiers, newcomers can also make progress, because Takasugi Shinsuke is very enthusiastic about newcomers.
It is a thirst for talents, and this is what a newcomer deserves to devote his life to.
Takasugi Shinsuke made Ito Kamotaro think that he was "on the road to success", but Ito Kamotaro obviously didn't think carefully about whether this road could really be successful.
In fact, it is useless to think about it, because there is no choice. There is no way out if you choose the real team. There is a way out for the Ghost Soldier Team, so you can only choose the Ghost Soldier Team. Why should you make progress? Because only by making progress can you have companions, and you can get the companions you need.
Making progress means gaining companions. This is Ito Kamotaro's twisted understanding.
So the assassination against Isao Kondo is about to begin, but first Jushiro Hijikata must be transferred to reduce the number of people who are in the way, so that the assassination can be completed more smoothly.
