Questions on the two Japan's in a world with the Ezo Republic

Partially inspired by this thread I'd l'd like to analyze this scenerio in a TL of my own. With the series of events up to 1870 in the TL of the link maintained for this thread, what other events could we expect?


For such a TL I'd like to ask -
  • How may this change the reformations enacted by the Meiji government from OTL?
  • Will Meiji and Ezo Japan adopt things like western clothes as well as tactics like the Meiji empire did in OTL?
    • How may the military forces of the two Japans differ?
  • How likely is another war between the two to occur?
  • How may this change the plans that plans that Britian, France, Russia, and other countries had in mind for those in Asia? Including colonial plans.
    • What may happen to Qing China, Korea, and Manchuria?
  • What steps may both take to industrialize and can they industrialize to the extent that OTL Japan did?
