201 神風連の乱 the war of Shinnpuurenn(God wind)

旧武士階級は明治維新後は「士族」とされましたが実益はほとんどなくプライドは
傷つき不満がたまっていました。そこへ廃刀令です。

明治９年(1876)１０月、神風連(敬神党)の乱、秋月の乱、萩の乱と立て続けに士族を
中心とする反乱が起きました。

Old samurai had a status as "Shizoku(samurai tribe) " in new government.
But they were poor and jobless person in an actual situation.
At that situation,Haitourei(No sword policy) was promulgated.
Their pride were wounded.

On Oct. Meiji 9th(1876) the war of Jinnpuurenn,Akitsuki and Hagi were happened
in succession.
