I started with the Shinsengumi in Bakumatsu

Chapter 14 New settlement
The weakness of the evil party was beyond Yagyu's imagination. Their combat effectiveness was not even half that of the ronin. Only two groups of 20 people defeated the Yasha party of nearly 400 people.

When the samurai of the Kyoto sect came to Qingshui Lane and saw dozens of corpses in a pool of blood, they were all frightened. They looked at the people of the Shinsengumi and lowered their heads with guilt.

When Yagyu saw the samurai, he ordered: "Just move the body away and clean the blood stains. This Miki house will soon be the camp of the Shinsengumi."

The samurai quickly agreed, and after the Shinsengumi left, he said to the people behind him: "Tsk, tsk, look inside and outside the Miki Residence. There are at least fifty corpses. This has become a haunted house. Shinsengumi He actually wanted to be chosen as a settlement."

If the samurai are the police, then the Tonxins are the auxiliary police.

A fellow member answered: "Sir, the Shinsengumi killed many more people in Osaka than here, so only these killers can suppress them."

The samurai nodded and said: "Yes, I think Director Yagyu has killed hundreds of people, right?"

"This is amazing..."

"Then do you think Director Yagyu will become the Thousand Man Killer?"

"That's not certain."

The co-workers discussed, then took out a white cloth to cover their mouths and noses, and began to carry the body.

Car after car of corpses were pulled out of Qingshui Lane, and the residents nearby were familiar with these people.

"Look, isn't that Shinpachiro, the backbone of the Yasha Party? He's actually dead!"

"Good death! I saw the Shinsengumi people earlier. They were probably cleaned up by the Shinsengumi."

"They actually provoked the Shinsengumi? Director Yagyu is a swordsman who can fight hundreds of people by himself!"

"You mean fighting against a hundred people alone? I heard it means fighting against 200 people alone..."

"Then you heard wrong. I have a relative who works in Osaka. I heard that Chief Yagyu fought with 500 people alone..."

The people were discussing fiercely, but it could be seen from their faces that they were very happy.

Yagyu took some members of the Shinsengumi back to the Yagi House and Maekawa House, and packed up all the Shinsengumi's things. Then Yagyu said goodbye to Yagi Gennosei, returned to Higashiyama District, and settled in the Miki House.

The wooden sign of Miki House was torn off by Harada Sanosuke, and then the Shinsengumi sign was put up.

This mansion has five entrances, which is enough for the Shinsengumi people to live in. Moreover, several small courtyards near this mansion have been bought by Naotaro Miki, and now the land deeds are in Yagyu's hands.

In the courtyard ahead, members of the Shinsengumi gathered together. Yagyu sat in the upper position. He took the lead and said: "Everyone, these evil parties are weak. We must clean them up as soon as possible. Those captured evil parties can collect evidence from the people in the town. If Anyone found guilty of murder, forced to separate his wife and children, etc., will be beheaded. Others found guilty of minor crimes such as collecting protection fees will be sent to Kyoto for detention."

Because the Yasha Party had nearly 400 people, Yagyu felt that the opponent was relatively strong, so he took action personally. The result was that he was vulnerable. He stopped participating in the subsequent cleanup of the evil party.

This time after taking down the Yasha Party, Yagyu found 1000 taels of gold and [-] guan in Miki's house.

In the Edo period, there were three types of currency: gold, silver, and copper. Gold coins were divided into large gold coins of twelve taels, small gold coins of one tael, two cents of gold, one cent of gold, two cents of gold, and one cent of gold.

Silver is divided into one cent silver, two zhu silver, one zhu silver, five zhu silver, as well as ding silver and bean board silver for weighing.

Copper coins are divided into small coins of one penny and large coins of four coins.

According to the regulations of the shogunate, ten liang gold coins can be exchanged for ten one-liang small gold coins. One liang small gold coins can be exchanged for two two-cent coins or four one-cent coins. It can also be exchanged for four thousand one-cent coins or one thousand four-cent coins. money.

In addition, one liang of gold is sixty cents.

One cent of silver can be exchanged for a thousand coins and a penny, and one cent of silver can be exchanged for 250 coins and a penny.

This is the exchange amount stipulated by the shogunate. In fact, it is always 960 wen.While the annual income of an ordinary family in Kyoto is around [-] kan, the Miki family's extravagant wealth is the annual income of [-] families.

This does not include Naotaro Miki's properties, shops, land, etc.

Now the Miki family's more than 200 years of heritage have been taken over by Yagyu.

However, he was not a solitary person. Yagyu arranged for Kondo Isamu and others to organize a new settlement, and he took 200 taels to the Kyoto Shoshidai to meet Inaba Masakuni.

He is the 12th generation lord of the Yodo clan in Yamashiro Province, a feudal clan with a hundred thousand koku. The Yodo clan is located in Fushimi Ward, Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture.

This is a dangerous place, and the Battle of Fushimi Toba broke out here.

Inaba Masakuni heard that Yagyu had come to visit him, so he had people come into the hall to meet him.

As soon as he saw Yagyu, he said: "Director Yagyu, I heard about you. Some ministers have already come to complain to me. This is very difficult for me to handle."

Yagyu directly took out the 200 taels of gold that he had prepared, handed it to Inaba Masakuni, and said: "Cleaning out the evil parties and ronin in the jurisdiction and maintaining law and order in the jurisdiction are the responsibilities entrusted to me by the shogun, and I am also acting under my orders.

As for the trouble caused to Lord Nagato, I sincerely apologize. These golds are my hard-earned money. Later, Lord Nagato will need to send people to cooperate with the Shinsengumi to clean up the situation. "

When Inaba Masakuni saw the 200 taels of gold, his eyes were blazing. He immediately accepted the gold and said with a smile: "I have also heard about Director Yagyu's dedication to his duties. Don't worry, I will definitely be on your side."

Although it is said that the acting director of Kyoto is under the guardianship of Kyoto, Matsudaira Yoshiho, you must win over your own people who should be roped in. This will save you a lot of trouble.

After being tied up with the interests of the Kyoto Secretary, Yagyu returned to the camp.

Today's plan went so smoothly that the Shinsengumi had nothing to do in the afternoon. However, Takeda Kanryusai, Shannan Keisuke and the others were leading several teams to review the prisoners of the Yasha Party.

Shimada Kui, Yamazaki Hao and their supervisory team are also out looking for information about other evil parties and underground gambling houses.

As for Kawai Kisaburo's accounting team, they are calculating salaries and daily expenses.

This is what Yagyu ordered before leaving.

As soon as Kawai Kisaburo saw Yagyu coming back, he immediately came over with the account book and said: "Director, according to our calculations, the basic salary issued this time is about 800 taels of gold.

The money within the group is now more than enough to distribute the basic salary. If rewards and subsidies are included, it will cost about 200 taels. "

Yagyu asked: "Then how many more do we have?"

"A little over two thousand two hundred taels."

Yagyu didn't hesitate and said directly: "Distribution in full. In addition, you take the people to book an izakaya, and everyone will attend the celebration banquet tonight."

"Hi Yi!"

Kawai Kisaburo was quite excited and quickly led his colleagues to fulfill Yagyu's instructions.

When the team dealing with the evil party came back, Yagyu announced to everyone that salaries and subsidies would be distributed.

Some people danced happily and sang songs from their hometown, which made everyone laugh.

This can be regarded as one of the few happy times of the Shinsengumi.
