I started with the Shinsengumi in Bakumatsu

Chapter 15 Huajie Team Building

Chapter 15 Huajie Team Building
A new day began. Yagyu summoned the captains of each team in the lobby to announce today's tasks. Ten teams continued to clean up the evil gangs in the town streets, and also cleaned up the underground kilns, banks and gambling houses.

At the same time, Shannan Keisuke and Kawai Kisaburo went to choose the address of the Shinsengumi gaming house and open it.

As for Shimada Kui, Yamazaki Hao and their supervision team are still elusive, rarely appearing in the Shinsengumi camp, and only have single-line contact with Yagyu and a few others.

After arranging the task, Yagyu went to Kurotani Komyoji Temple to meet with Matsudaira Yoho, the lord of Aizu Domain.

When Matsudaira Rongho saw Yagyu again, his smile became even bigger. He was quite proud of promoting Yagyu.

"Jubei, the general is about to leave. I am very happy to be able to keep you to fight alongside me."

Yagyu saluted and said: "Don't worry, Lord Matsudaira, I will definitely stop the conspiracy of those ronin and assist the shogun to restore the prosperity of the shogunate!"

Matsudaira Yongho nodded and said: "I heard about you. It's a really good idea to learn from the foreigners and learn their skills to control the foreigners. I have asked my retainer Kyuma to establish a foreign academy to learn foreign military methods."

Yagyu saluted and said: "With Lord Matsudaira here, I think the shogunate will definitely prosper."

"Lend your auspicious words."

After Liu Sheng and Rongbao greeted Songping for a while, they returned to the camp.

In the afternoon, Shannan Keisuke and Kawai Kisaburo came back to report that the location of the gambling house had been selected. The place was at least [-] square meters, and the rent was twelve gold per month.

Yagyu immediately took the two of them to look at the place. The location was pretty good, at a crossroads, and nearby was the entrance to Flower Street and Gion.

"The location is very good. The next thing is the personnel issue. Shannan, you go hire some good-looking women. The monthly salary is five thousand yuan a month, and there is a commission for another month."

Shannan Keisuke took over the task and immediately went to supervise the matter.

Working five times a month is already a high-paying job. There are many women who come to sign up. A large number of women are crowding Shannan Keisuke, which makes his head feel big. If Hijikata Toshizo comes here, he will probably be very happy.

Shannan Keisuke still dutifully selected more than 20 beautiful women and brought them back to the camp for Yagyu to check.

Hijikata Toshizo, who had just returned, saw a group of pretty girls chatting there. The fatigue of the whole day was gone. He came to the girls in high spirits and said with a smile: "Hello, I am the Shinsengumi. Deputy Chief Hijikata Toshizo, I wonder what the girls are doing here at the Shinsengumi? Have they committed some crime? Then I have to check it out."

The girls didn't feel angry when they saw the handsome Hijikata Toizan making fun of him. One girl said coquettishly: "Mr. Hijikata, we may be colleagues in the future, you have to protect me."

"Do you know how to do swordsmanship? Then we can have in-depth exchanges."

"We can't..."

Hijikata Toshizo laughed and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't know. I can teach you. Who comes first?"

Hijikata Toshizo wanted to continue chatting, but Shannan Keisuke came out and shouted: "Next!"

The girl who asked the question quickly stood up and walked to the main hall.

The Shinsengumi soldiers in the courtyard immediately started talking, and Hijikata Toshizo quickly asked: "Shannan, what's going on?"

Shannan Keisuke replied: "The director is presiding over the affairs of the gambling house and said he is recruiting some beauties to serve as employees of the gambling house."

"Wow, as expected of the director, this move is amazing!"

Hijikata Toisho raised his hands to support Yagyu's approach.

Soon, Yagyu met all the beauties, and then walked out and said to Shannan Keisuke: "Shannan, give them the yard next door and let the cooks add more food."

"what!"

After the girls left, Kondo Isamu, Hijikata Toshizo and others entered the hall, and they each took out today's trophies.

Takeda Kanryusaihui reported: "Director, all evil parties in Dongshan District have been eliminated. Today, 27 people were killed, 75 were captured, and the rest have fled to other neighborhoods.

All 75 people captured were convicted, 51 were imprisoned, and 24 were beheaded. "

Immediately Kondo Isamu said: "Mr. Yagyu, this is captured by the first squad. The Shantong Party has fifty gold coins, two hundred silver coins, and five hundred copper coins."

Hijikata Shisanhui reported: "Director, our second division team seized 100 taels of Higashiyama Tengu Party gold and [-] copper coins."

Followed by Okita Souji, Nagakura Shinpachi and others.

These ten evil parties, big and small, have a total of 720 taels of gold, 400 taels of silver, and [-] taels of copper coins. They are completely inferior to the largest party.

Moreover, these little villains only have shops and no real estate.

However, with this seizure, the Shinsengumi's life became much easier.

Liu Sheng smiled and said: "Okay, everyone has worked hard. Tonight, the whole group will go to Flower Street to celebrate!"

"Yoshi, that's great!"

Hijikata Toshizo cheered, and the sound spread outside.

Soon, the team members also knew the good news, and they were very excited and relieved their physical fatigue.

In order to prepare for the evening entertainment, Yagyu took everyone to a nearby restaurant for dinner. After a short rest, everyone went to the hot spring house to soak in the hot springs.

After entering the hot spring house, everyone stripped naked and entered the hot spring bath wearing only a white loincloth. There would be women or half-year-old children asking if they wanted to take a bath.

At the same time, the store will also ask if you want to buy snacks and sake, and you can eat and drink while taking a bath, which is very enjoyable. "Ah...it's so comfortable..."

Hijikata Toisho looked contented, while Yagyu was also enjoying the woman's massage and said casually: "It's a rare relaxation."

Kondo Isamu wondered: "Why did Mr. Yagyu say that?"

Yagyu said: "I have received news that Gensui Kusaka of the Choshu Domain bombarded American merchant ships two days ago, and the shogunate withdrew its intention to resist the foreigners on the same day.

The actions of the Choshu Domain will definitely stimulate the nerves of those who resist the barbarians. They will definitely be dissatisfied with the shogunate's actions. When the time comes, they will definitely turn their dissatisfaction into anger, and the shogunate ministers in Kyoto will be in danger. "

Hijikata Toshizo said dissatisfied: "These people are really messing around. Why do they always go against the shogunate?"

Yagyu waved his hand and said, "Don't talk about these today, just enjoy it. We'll talk about the rest later."

Toshizo Hijikata thought that he wouldn't have this kind of benefit for a while, so he immediately asked the store to hire a female technician to give him a massage.

In the evening, at eight o'clock, every household on Flower Street has lit up red lanterns, and a large number of guests are pouring into Flower Street. As soon as you enter from the gate, you can see the wandering girls' houses on both sides. Behind those red wooden fences, there are various All kinds of wandering girls.

Some of the wandering girls were sitting upright to show off their temperament, some were lying down enchantingly to show off their figures, some were posing and posing, and a very small number of wandering girls were puffing away at their pipes.

Wanderers are female actors who sell their bodies. In addition to wanderers, there are also kabuki, geisha, etc. in Flower Street.

However, high-class gypsy girls are similar to kabuki and geisha.

There are four types of yomeya houses, the most advanced one is Omise. The red wooden fence of this yuga house is completely enclosed. Guests can only see the beauty of the yukata from outside the fence and cannot get close contact with them. If you want to enter the Omise, you need to be introduced by intermediaries such as tea houses. Oirans basically come from Omise.

Nakamiseyou's house is cheaper than Omise's, and the rules are not as strict, but it still requires some status.Basically, both Omise and Nakamise require samurai or big businessmen to enter consumption.

However, Xiaojianshi is not so strict. The mahogany fence of their maid's house is only half, and the maids can lean on the fence to communicate with guests. Small businessmen, craftsmen, etc. can also receive guests.

The most unstandardized thing is Qie Jian Shi. The wandering girl is not high-looking and is located in a remote place. There are no rules. It is open when it is open and closed when it is closed.

As for the small courtyard of Lingbo Taifu that Yagyu went to before, it was the place where courtesans lived, and only courtesans could be given the suffix "tafu".

The Shinsengumi group poured into Flower Street, but it was just a drop of water. Flower Street was crowded with people, and the girls in the girls' houses on both sides were soliciting passing customers.

Some have two floors. The small door of the private room upstairs can be heard. The sound of shamisen and the singing of wandering girls can be heard from inside. There are even people holding wandering girls and playing by the window, exposing a large area of ​​​​white snow, but they don't care.

Everyone looked at the lively scene in Flower Street and was already ready to make a move.

Yagyu waved his hand and said: "Go and play, someone will pay the bill for you when the time comes."

"Yo Xi, I'm leaving first!"

Hijikata Toshizo was the first to run away, and then the others entered the surrounding Yumei Houses.

Yagyu also went to Lingbo Taifu to rest for a night alone.

As soon as Liu Sheng arrived outside Taifu Lingbo's courtyard, he saw a man making a big fuss, shouting, "I want to see Taifu Lingbo, and all I need is 1000 taels of gold!"

Lingbo Taifu's Zhenxiu's new friend, Aji, quickly declined and said: "I'm sorry, guest, today the lady is feeling unwell and doesn't want to receive guests."

"What, I don't care, I want to see Ling Bo!"

Aji was frightened and backed away.

But the next second, she saw Yagyu coming over and shouted happily: "Mr. Yagyu!"

The slightly tipsy wealthy businessman looked back and said disdainfully, "Who are you?"

Yagyu said calmly: "I am Yagyu Jubei, the director of the Shinsengumi."

"Yagyu Jubei, what...person...!"

The wealthy businessman was so frightened that he sobered up. He quickly bowed his head and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Yagyu, I'll leave now."

Liu Sheng ignored the wealthy businessman and just asked: "What's wrong with Ling Bo?"

"The lady is a little dizzy, she must be tired."

Aji led Yagyu inside.

When Liu Sheng saw Taifu Lingbo resting, he quickly stepped forward and touched his forehead, then tried his own, and said, "It's not the wind and cold."

Taifu Lingbo stood up shyly and said, "Wait a moment, I'll tidy up and dress you up."

Liu Sheng held Taifu Lingbo in his arms and said, "You are not feeling well. You should rest more. I will check you out."

"Ah? Master Yagyu, do you still need to take off your clothes for the examination?"

"Well, experience it yourself and check it in depth..."

"Well…"
