I started with the Shinsengumi in Bakumatsu

Chapter 23 Counterattack!

In less than a moment, Team Saito, who was patrolling outside, rushed into the small courtyard. Everyone was surprised to see the body lying dead in the courtyard. Saito hurriedly stepped forward and saw Taifu Lingbo treating the wound on Yagyu's right hand who was sitting in the corridor. .

The fierce fight just now made Yagyu forget the pain in his hands. It was not until the adrenaline subsided that the stinging pain in his palms made him remember that his hands had been injured before.

"Director, are you okay!"

Saito stepped forward quickly.

Yagyu raised his head and said: "Hey, Saito, don't be nervous. It was the wound left by Okada Izo. The person who assassinated me is not as powerful as Okada."

Saito breathed a sigh of relief and then said: "Director, it's not safe here anymore. It's better to go back to the camp first."

Taifu Lingbo just happened to bandage Yagyu's wound.

Yagyu shook his head and said: "No, how could I be scared off by these people's assassination? Dispose of the body, I will go back at dawn."

"clear."

Saitoichi was a relatively silent person. Seeing that Yagyu had made a decision, he immediately led people to clean up the body, and then asked people to clean up. However, the concierge in the bedroom was rotten and there was too much blood. After cleaning up, Yagyu had no choice but to spend half the night in the lobby with Taifu Lingbo.

At dawn, Yagyu returned to the Shinsengumi camp.

In the hall, everyone knew about Yagyu's assassination, and everyone was filled with indignation.

When Takeda Kanryusai saw Yagyu coming back, he was the first to say: "Director, these ronin are really daring, we must teach them a profound lesson!"

"Why don't we drag dozens of the rebels in the prison to be beheaded!"

Shannan Keisuke frowned and said: "Killing people out of selfish anger will only make the world despise us.

Moreover, this assassination incident was clearly planned and premeditated. The supervisory side has no information at all. I suspect that there is a spy behind it. "

"What, who is it!"

Harada Sanosuke was very angry. He hated this thing.

Hijikata Toshizo shouted: "We must find him and make him commit seppuku!"

Yagyu raised his hand and said: "Let's wait for the news from the supervisory side and see which family the ronin is from."

After encountering the assassination, Yagyu had already thought about it, so he had already asked the supervisor to investigate.

They waited for a while, Shimada Kui hurriedly walked into the hall, sat down and saluted: "Director, there is news. The 13 people who assassinated the director last night were from Tosa Domain and Choshu Domain ronin.

I heard that the ronin of the Choshu Domain found these ronin of the Tosa Domain and told them that they knew the location of the director and invited them to join the action. Originally, there was also a master named Chiba Jutaro, but before the operation started, he was removed from the Tosa domain by the ronin Sakamoto. Ryoma stopped. "

Takeda Kanryusai said immediately: "The matter is very clear. It seems that the Choshu clan has arranged for an undercover agent to enter our new selection team! Director, we should focus on investigating the team members with a Choshu accent!"

Shannan Keisuke blocked it and said: "If we directly conduct a public investigation, it will inevitably be criticized by those who are interested."

Hijikata Toshizo also said: "We must not let the news that the Shinsengumi has an undercover agent leak out, otherwise the shogunate or the old guys from the Aizu clan who don't like us will find trouble."

Takeda Kanryusai saw that the two deputy commanders were opposed to his advice as a staff officer, and he was very dissatisfied, but he finally endured it.

Yagyu nodded and said: "Don't talk about the traitor to the outside world. I will let the supervisor investigate secretly. This time the ronin of Choshu Domain and Tosa Domain assassinate me, the Shinsengumi must respond.

Next, you will focus on attacking the anti-barbarian rogues in these two vassals. Whenever you encounter these rogues, focus on investigating and making things difficult for them. If there is resistance, they will be killed without mercy! "

"Understood!" The director of the Shinsengumi Jubei Yagyu was assassinated, but the news of the killing of 13 people spread quickly. There were many details in it. This was spread by the supervisors Yamazaki Hiroshi and Asano Kaoru. This is also Yagyu's arrangement.

In order to force the shogunate to fight the barbarians, the Choshu and Tosa clans took many extreme actions, such as shelling foreign merchant ships, frantically assassinating shogunate officials, and so on.

The Shinsengumi also made a strong counterattack. More than [-] Choshu Domain anti-barbarian patriots were arrested or beheaded by the Shinsengumi. Tosa Domain lost two people and beheaded, and Takeshi Zuishan was forced to lie dormant.

Because of the powerful blow of the Shinsengumi, the shogunate repeatedly announced that the resistance to the barbarians was forced by the Choshu clan, a conspiracy of the Choshu clan, etc.

Being forced to panic, the Choshu clan secretly ordered the assassination of Yagyu Jubei. Although Katsura Kogoro accidentally planted a few undercover agents, he did not support the assassination plan.

Only a few undercover agents took the initiative to provide information to Kusaka Gensui, and Kusaka decided to assassinate Yagyu Jubei.

However, this assassination attempt failed, but it only contributed to the reputation of Yagyu Jubei. Everyone said that Yagyu Jubei was the No. 1 slayer in the world.

Moreover, under the instruction of Yagyu, the Shinsengumi also focused on suppressing those anti-barbarian patriots in the Choshu Domain and Tosa Domain.

In a certain restaurant, many members of the Choshu clan gathered here. They did not discuss the fight against the foreigners. They only talked about the assassination of the Shinsengumi chief, which had caused a lot of controversy recently. Many people regretted this incident.

Outside the house, Saitoichi came here with his team members. He opened the door curtain and walked in. He shouted: "Shinsengumi, ordered to inspect!"

The Choshu feudal warriors in the room all looked at Saito Ichi. Some of them had already stood up and were squatting on one knee. Their hands had already grasped the handles of their swords, ready to draw their swords and charge at any time.

Saito glanced at it without caring, and just said to the shopkeeper who came over: "Are you the shopkeeper? I am Saito Ichi, captain of the Shinsengumi Division [-], and I have been ordered to investigate."

The shop owner nodded repeatedly and said: "Hi hi hi hi hi... Mr. Saito, these customers are just diners, there is no problem."

Saito looked at the ronin in the room and said, "Are you ronin from the Choshu clan?"

The ronin who was close to Saitoichi immediately said: "Yes, we are. How do you like it?"

Team member Wada Rokuro shouted: "Please cooperate with our investigation!"

The other ronin said angrily: "Why, we don't accept it!"

Saitoichi said coldly: "Disobeying the Shinsengumi's orders means violating the shogunate's orders. The Shinsengumi can take down you, and those who resist will be killed without mercy!"

"Go to hell, the lackeys of the shogunate!"

A ronin drew his sword directly and killed Saitoichi.

"Seibei!"

"Damn, run!"

"Coward! Shinsengumi, risk your life!"

In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen people started fighting in this small restaurant, but more ronin fled. Only a few passionate ronin drew their swords and fought, and blood was spread on the spot.

There were also several slow-running ronin who were captured by the Shinsengumi and escorted back to the camp. As for the slain ronin, the Shinsengumi found crosses and nailed them to Sanjo Bridge for display. This move made the anti-barbarian ronin gnash their teeth with hatred. .

This intensified the conflict in Kyoto.
