I love to study shogonate Japan and their gay Samurais!.
You mentioned the Meiji loyalist who wants to overthrow the Shogunate because the Shogun is modernizing Japan so they can compete with the bully westerners, and its interesting that they are divided with that issue, the imperialist wants to maintain the old order but the Irony once the Emperor Meiji was in placed along with the Meji oligarchy they ban all the Samurais and the old Fudal system, Samorais can no longer fuck their boy Samurai apprentices
and they got mad!
There were also some Daimyos who don't think the new Empire should develop railways as they see free movement of people as threat to their hedonistic self serving lifestyles but still progress and logic won and they build one of the first railways in Asia.
