I started with the Shinsengumi in Bakumatsu

Chapter 38 Raid on the Enemy’s Stronghold
Yamato House, Yagyu walked into the Yamato House with a bunch of teppanyaki grilled squid in his hand. The shopkeeper on the steps at the door saw Yagyu's dress and immediately saluted respectfully: "Welcome to Yamato House. I wonder what business you want to do?" "

Yagyu sat casually on the steps and said, "Call your boss Zhuang Bingwei to come out."

The shopkeeper knew that Yagyu was not a good person. Remembering the boss's instructions, he pretended to be sorry and said: "It's unfortunate that the guest is here. My boss is not here today."

"Aren't you here?" Liu Sheng raised his eyes to look at the shopkeeper, his sharp eyes making him unconsciously wandering and making him nervous.

Yagyu slowly turned around, took the last bite of squid, and chewed it slowly for a while.

The shopkeeper felt a huge pressure, as if he was surrounded by water, and had a strong sense of suffocation. In just ten breaths, he was sweating profusely and had trouble breathing.

"Oh, Director Yagyu, why did you come to the store in person? Director Yagyu is so here. The store is really flourishing today!"

At this tense moment, Zhuang Bingwei laughed and walked around the screen from behind, his face flushed, without any trace of embarrassment.

Yagyu said slowly: "Your people said you were not here today, and you just showed up like this. Doesn't that make him offend someone?"

Zhuang Bingwei immediately explained: "Director Yagyu, no wonder, he was not here when the villain came back."

Yagyu was too lazy to talk nonsense with this smooth businessman. He said directly: "Really? I saw Shobei, you brought a ronin back to Yamato House, and this person helped you lift the door curtain. Was I wrong?"

Shoubei met Yagyu's eyes and became visibly panicked. He said in horror: "Director Yagyu, this is a misunderstanding. Please listen to the villain's explanation!"

Yagyu stretched out his hand and knocked on the floor. Shoubei immediately dared not move and looked at Yagyu with a look of fear.

Yagyu then said: "Since I, the Shinsengumi, said I would protect you, I will protect you. But if you leave the Shinsengumi, you will go to those murderers to beg for mercy. If this matter spreads, I am afraid that those ronin will I thought my Shinsengumi reputation was in vain.

Shobei, do you understand that this little move of yours has wiped out months of hard work of my Shinsengumi? "

When Zhuang Bingwei heard that there were such serious consequences, he immediately kowtowed and admitted his mistake: "Director Yagyu, the villain made a mistake. The villain knows that he was wrong. Please ask Director Yagyu to let the villain make up for it. I beg you."

Yagyu still said with a straight face: "For someone like you who compromises with a murderer, I should treat you as an accomplice."

"The villain is just trying to save his life!" Zhuang Bingwei shouted that he was wronged.

Liu Sheng felt that these words were harsh and felt a little unhappy. He said coldly: "In order to save your life, you gave money to those murderers. Do you know what they will do with the money?

Since you have so much money, fine, today you colluded with Yoshimura and other murderous criminals, and you will be fined three thousand! "

"Zhuang Bingwei, no one can help you this time. Three thousand gold, one piece less, I will kill you with my own hands!"

Zhuang Bingwei was frightened by Yagyu's murderous words. He was stunned for a moment and did not dare to speak. However, Yagyu put down his harsh words and left first.

Zhuang Bingwei looked at Yagyu leaving, and suddenly felt sad, but in order to survive, he still had to collect money.

Yagyu left Yamatoya and was still wandering around the nearby streets. After a while, Yamazaki Hao found him and reported the situation.

Yamazaki Hao said: "Director, we have found out clearly. Today, Yamato Yasoubei received the Tosa Kinou Party fugitive Yoshimura Torataro. We have been tracking him to a B&B in Senbondori. There are also their companions around. I am afraid there are seven More than ten people.”

Senbondori is a street between Kamigyo and Sakyo wards. This street leads directly to the vicinity of the Imperial Palace. It is surrounded by high-ranking officials such as Konoe and famous temples.

Yamazaki Hao continued: "I'm afraid that this batch is related to the Sanjo Sano group of the anti-barbarian faction. We still need to continue to find out the specific situation." Yagyu raised his hand and said: "No, no matter what conspiracy the other party has, it is no longer a big deal. Once we catch them all, the conspiracy will naturally disappear."

Yagyu said goodbye to Yamazaki Hao and immediately returned to the camp. He gave a separate order to Hijikata Toshizo: "Tonight, we are going to Senbondong to capture a group of anti-barbarian ronin, including the remnants of Tosa Kinou's party. I will go and tell Lord Matsudaira now. "

The scope of the Shinsengumi is in Higashiyama District, Nakakyo District, and Shimokyo District. The Imperial Palace is in Nakakyo District, and the Nijo Imperial Palace is in Shimokyo District. Not all of these two districts are inspected by the Shinsengumi. The Shinsengumi only inspects the Imperial Palace and Nijo. The area between the royal palaces.

Now that the Shinsengumi wants to enter Senbondori Street to search, they must know about Matsudaira Yoshiho, because that area is patrolled by Aizu Domain soldiers.

However, Matsudaira Yongho now has zero tolerance for anti-barbarian ronin. He immediately agreed to Yagyu's request and wanted to arrange for feudal soldiers to support him, but he was stopped by Komori Kutaro because of the military performance in front of the emperor.

Yagyu didn't pay attention. The Shinsengumi now has more than 200 people, patrolling in three shifts every day, and there are also 60 people patrolling. There are more than 80 mobile units that can be dispatched this time.

In addition, Yagyu personally took action and led 80 people to deal with more than [-] villains, which was more than enough.

Yagyu bid farewell to Matsudaira Yongho, returned to the camp, and immediately arranged tasks.

Yagyu sat in the lobby, and the nine captains, the chief Isamu Kondo, and the deputy chief Hijikata Toshizo were sitting in rows.

"Everyone, according to the supervisory report, Tosa Kinou's remnant Yoshimura Torataro organized more than 70 people in the Senbondori area. They assassinated Hachimanya Ubei and plundered a lot of money. They placed his head on Sanjo Bridge. The provocation of the Shinsengumi.

Such an evil party, the Shinsengumi will never let them go. I have told Lord Matsudaira about this. Lord Matsudaira allowed us to enter Senbondori to capture the evil party. The [-]st, [-]th and [-]th divisions will go out tonight, and the other guerrillas will Team, please work hard and stay on guard at the perimeter for support at any time! "

"understand!"

As night fell, the Shinsengumi were ready to go to war. Yagyu also put on armor, a chainmail helmet, and a haori representing the Shinsengumi. He stood on the steps and waved: "This is We are going to capture the evil party. If there is resistance, we will kill them without mercy. Let’s go!”

"First Squadron, let's go!"

"Team [-], follow us!"

"Team [-], move forward!"

The three teams of 60 people turned around and jogged away from the camp, followed by Yagyu and Kondo Isamu with their guerrilla teams.

Half an hour later, at 08:30 in the evening, more than [-] people from the Shinsengumi arrived at Senbondori and met up with Asano Kaoru from the supervisory side. Asano Kaoru had a scarf tied on his head and wrapped around his head. Only his eyes were exposed and he whispered: : "Director, Mr. Yamazaki is still watching. The enemy was drinking and eating in a private house before, but now he has returned to several nearby private houses."

Yagyu nodded and said: "Well done, Kondo, you take 15 people from the guerrilla team to go around to the back to stop them, and Gensang will lead the rest in front.

Souji, lead your men to attack the first private house. Tadashi, which one is your fourth division's house? Sanjuro, you deal with this one. I'm on the street to support you at any time! "

"understand!"

"Go quietly, launch a surprise attack, and let's go!"

　Regarding the Enfield rifled gun, some readers reacted too exaggeratedly, so the previous article was changed to a sharpshooter shooting 400 meters.
