Japanese: 明治6年（1873年）の対朝鮮問題をめぐる政府首脳の軋轢は、6月に外務少記森山茂が釜山から帰って、李朝政府が日本の国書を拒絶したうえ、使節を侮辱し、居留民の安全が脅かされているので、朝鮮から撤退するか、武力で修好条約を締結させるかの裁決が必要であると報告し、それを外務少輔上野景範が内閣に議案として提出したことに始まる。

English: Saigo resigned as General of the Army, and as concurrent Sangi councilor, and as Konoe-totoku on September 23, and announced that he would return these ranks, but Iwakura, who finished maneuvering in the Imperial Court, submitted an opinion document for the indefinite postponement of dispatching Saigo separetely from a decision of the Imperial Court.
Japanese: 9月23日、西郷が陸軍大将兼参議・近衛都督を辞し、位階も返上すると上表したのに対し、すでに宮中工作を終えていた岩倉は、閣議の決定とは別に西郷派遣延期の意見書を天皇に提出した。

Japanese: このとき、西郷の参議・近衛都督辞職は許可されたが、陸軍大将辞職と位階の返上は許されなかった（岩倉・木戸・大久保らは、これらを許可しないことによって、西郷ら遣韓派をいずれ政府に復帰させる意図があることを示したのであろう）。

If not, there will be some debates about wise lost', because he was concerned about the future of the Meiji Government.
Japanese: このとき、西郷の推挙で兵部大輔大村益次郎の後任に補されながら、能力不足と自覚して、先に下野していた前原一誠は「宜シク西郷ノ職ヲ復シテ薩長調和ノ実ヲ計ルベシ、然ラザレバ、賢ヲ失フノ議起コラント」という内容の書簡を太政大臣三条実美に送り、明治政府の前途を憂えた。

Japanese: 猟に行き、山川の鰻温泉で休養していた明治7年（1874年）3月1日、佐賀の乱で敗れた江藤新平が来訪し、翌日、指宿まで見送った（江藤は土佐で捕まった）。
English: But in April, he received a request from Judo SAIGO, who was Totoku governor general and the younger brother of Saigo, who had been in the Taiwan conquest force, and reluctantly agreed to recruiment from Kagoshima, and sent about eight hundred soldiers to Nagasaki.
Japanese: しかし、4月、台湾征討軍の都督三弟西郷従道の要請を入れ、やむなく鹿児島から徴募して、兵約800名を長崎に送った。
English: Since soldiers and the Keri police officers who resigned along with Saigo returned to the prefecture one after another in 1873, Kagoshima became filled with many unemployed hot-blooded men and young men who were inspired by them (a situation that continued after a private school was established, the details of which are in "the diary of before and after Seinan-eki (Seinan War)").
Japanese: 西郷の下野に同調した軍人・警吏が相次いで帰県した明治6年末以来、鹿児島県下は無職の血気多き壮年者がのさばり、それに影響された若者に溢れる状態になった（この状態が私学校創設後も続いたことは『西南役前後の思出の記』に詳しい）。
English: And because the young men and other men who were in their prime might go astray, Saigo was asked to volunteer to lead them, then got help from Tsunayoshi OYAMA with Kenrei in Japan, Kenrei 2, and the private school was established at the former remains of a stable around in June 1784 ("Oyama, Kenrei (government general) and Shigakko").
Japanese: そこで、これを指導し、統御しなければ、壮年・若者の方向を誤るとの考えから、有志者が西郷にはかり、県令2日本の県令大山綱良の協力を得て、明治7年6月頃に旧厩跡に私学校がつくられた（『大山県令と私学校』。
English: The private school established branch schools in each town under the prefectures, which were the gun army school that Kunimoto SHINOHATA supervised, the bombardment army that Shinpachi MURATA supervised, and the Army Cadet school (Shoten school) that Murata supervised.
Japanese: 私学校は篠原国幹が監督する銃隊学校、村田新八が監督する砲隊学校、村田が監督を兼任した幼年学校（章典学校）があり、県下の各郷ごとに分校が設けられた。
English: And the other is the Yoshino-Kaikonsha school (Kyu-Rikugun Kyododan Seito (students of former Imperial Army's school)), which Toshiaki KIRINO lead and Kyuji NAGAYAMA and Shosuke HIRANO supervised, and it was established in the wasteland that was secured by negotiation between Saigo and Kenrei OYAMA on April 1875.
Japanese: この他に、明治8年（1875年）4月には西郷と大山県令との交渉で確保した荒蕪地に、桐野利秋が指導し、永山休二・平野正介らが監督する吉野開墾社（旧陸軍教導団生徒を収容）もつくられた。
English: Saigo was relaxing at home or went hunting and rest at hot spring most of the time from 1875 to 1876.
Japanese: 明治8年から明治9年（1876年）にかけての西郷は自宅でくつろぐか、遊猟と温泉休養に行っていることが多い。
English: The private school was maintained under Saigo's influence, and the sophisticated men of Shigakko started to have great influence in the prefecture, and then Kenrei Tsunayoshi OYAMA could not maintain prefectural politics smoothly without their cooperation, so Oyama employed the these erudite men of Shigakko as the officers of prefecture or police officers, and asked Saigo to recommend a ward mayor and a deputy mayor of the ward on Novenber 1875 and April 1876.
Japanese: 西郷の影響下にある私学校が整備されて、私学校党が県下最大の勢力となると、県令大山綱良もこの力を借りることなしには県政が潤滑に運営できなくなり、私学校党人士を県官や警吏に積極的に採用し、明治8年11月、明治9年4月には西郷に依頼して区長や副区長を推薦して貰った。
English: In this way, Beppu, Henmi, Kono and Sokuro OGURA (the older brother of Heihachiro TOGO) became ward mayors and the Shigakko party controlled politics in the prefecture, thus the government considered the prefecture of Kagoshima to be controlled by the Shigakko party, and it became mostly independent.
Japanese: このようにして別府・辺見・河野・小倉壮九郎（東郷平八郎の兄）らが区長になり、私学校党が県政を牛耳るようになると、政府は以前にもまして、鹿児島県は私学校党の支配下に半ば独立状態にあると見なすようになった。
English: The decree banning the wearing of swords was issued in March 1876, and after the Kinroku-kosai Shosho Jorei (regulation for the security of the Kinroku government) was established in August, many of the Shigakko party, which came from the warrior class, and their relatives (who were made to be warriors for generations by the Conscription Ordinance) were indignant that the prerogatives of the warrior class, that is, being able to wear a sword and the Chigyochi fief were taken from them.
Japanese: 明治9年3月に廃刀令が出、8月に金禄公債証書条例が制定されると、士族とその子弟で構成される私学校党の多くは、徴兵令で代々の武人であることを奪われたことに続き、帯刀と知行地という士族最後の特権をも奪われたことに憤慨した。
English: The Kamikaze ren-no-ran War of the warrior class of Kumamoto Prefecture, the Akitsuki-no-ran War from the warrior class of Fukushima Prefecture, and Ogi-no-ran War were also divested of their prerogatives on October 24.
Japanese: 10月24日の熊本県士族の神風連の乱、27日の福岡県士族の秋月の乱、28日の萩の乱もこれらの特権の剥奪に怒っておきたものであった。
English: He said things like, "If I returned, the young men might become impatient, so I will stay in this hot spring."
Japanese: 今帰ったら若者たちが逸るかもしれないので、まだこの温泉に止まっている。
English: And also "I never revealed what I would do in the past, so if I were to reveal my future actions now, it would surprise everyone."
Japanese: 今まで一切自分がどう行動するかを見せなかったが、起つと決したら、天下の人々を驚かすようなことをするつもりである。
English: The letter in which wrote those things was given to Hisatake KATSURA, and announced that he was waiting for the time to 'make a decision.'
Japanese: などを記した書簡を桂久武に出し、「起つと決する」時期を待っていることを知らせた。
English: It is unclear whether the phrase 'make a decision' was meant to refer to raising an army in the country, or to the Russia problem with which Saigo was concerned most at that time.
Japanese: この「起つと決する」が国内での決起を意味するのか、西郷がこの時期に一番気にかけていた対ロシア問題での決起を意味していたのかは判然としない。
English: On the other hand, the government was worried that a rebellion of the warrior class of the prefecture of Kagoshima might occur between the end of that year and January.
