Chapter 61: The shogunate assists, the smiling tiger celebrates
After sitting down, Hirosawa Tomijiro said with some unbearability: "Yagyu-sama, this time my lord has tried his best. My lord has to obey the orders issued by the shogunate. Please forgive me."

When Hijikata Toisho heard this, he frowned and said, "Mr. Hirosawa, what do you mean? We can't be targeted just because our Shinsengumi has done so well, right?"

Hirosawa Tomijiro lowered his head and said: "The shogunate has issued an order for the Shinsengumi to go to Osaka to suppress the local anti-barbarian ronin."

Kondo Yuong said anxiously: "What about the safety of Kyoto? Who is responsible for it?"

Hirosawa Tomijiro replied: "Hitohashi-sama asked my lord to form a team called the Bessengumi. Their tasks are the same as the Shinsengumi."

Nagakura Shinpachi said in confusion: "How could the shogunate treat the Shinsengumi like this? It's so unfair. Director, let's write a confession to the shogun!"

Kondo Isamu hurriedly stopped him: "Shinpachi, don't be impulsive!"

Hijikata sneered and said, "I think the plans of some people in the shogunate are about to fail."

When General Okita heard this, he found it interesting and immediately asked curiously: "Mr. Hijikata, please tell me, why?"

Hijikata Toshizo looked at Yagyu, who had been unresponsive, and said with a smile: "Have you forgotten that the director is a judge for non-violation? The Shinsengumi can leave Kyoto, but the judge for non-violation does not need to!
In other words, the director can use the imperial agency to stay in Kyoto and preside over the overall situation. From a legal point of view, the team of the Procuratorate and Non-Violation Bureau led by the director can govern all areas of Kyoto! "

"That's it!" Souji Okita suddenly realized.

Yagyu looked at Tomijiro Hirosawa and said, "Mr. Hirosawa, please go back and tell Lord Matsudaira that I, Higen Yagyu, have accepted the transfer order from the shogunate and arranged for the Shinsengumi to go to Osaka as soon as possible to suppress the local anti-barbarian ronin."

Hirosawa Tomijiro just heard Hijikata Toshizo's analysis, and he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Hahaha, Yagyu-sama was still calm and composed, and discovered the problem all of a sudden. We were so anxious that we forgot about it. So, first of all Go back and tell the lord."

Yagyu immediately stood up and sent Tomijiro Hirosawa away, then returned to the house.

As soon as he came back, Hijikata Toshizo smiled and said: "I was scared at first, but when I saw the director didn't react, I suddenly realized. Director, if the Shinsengumi goes to Osaka, who will lead it?"

Yagyu thought about it carefully and said: "Kondo, Hijikata, this time you will take all 220 members of the Shinsengumi south to Osaka. You must stabilize the situation in Osaka.

In addition, what you have to do is to establish a Shinsengumi stronghold, open a gambling house, and collect management fees from those businessmen. "

Hijikata Toshizo said happily: "We can have a big fight again!"

Okita Souji was also very excited. He touched his sword and said with a smile: "I haven't done anything for a long time!"

Kondo Isamu asked: "What about the director? If Heisuke and the others are the only ones..."

Hijikata Toshizo interrupted: "What are you worried about the director for? Don't you know that the director's name can scare children away from crying?
In the past few days, I went to the countryside with the director, and I heard a peasant woman there threatening her son, saying, 'Keep crying, keep crying, and the Shinsengumi's Yagyu Battosai will arrest you later!' ', Hahaha, I was laughing so hard! "

Yagyu didn't expect that his name would become so frightening that children would not dare to cry at night, which made him a little embarrassed.

Hijikata Toshizo, who was still laughing just now, felt a chill on his neck. He stopped laughing instantly, glanced at Yagyu, and quickly changed the subject: "Speaking of which, even if there is only one director left in Kyoto, there will be no problem."

Okita Souji covered his mouth and laughed, and pointed at Hijikata Tozo with narrow eyes.

Yagyu nodded and said: "I don't have a big problem here, I can handle it, but when you get to Osaka, you have to be careful. Osaka's powerful leader Uchiyama Hikojiro will make things difficult for you. If it's not too much, then forget it. If it's too much, , let Yamazaki find the evidence of his crime, and then kill him." Hijikata Toshizo immediately wrote down this incident.

Yagyu nodded and said: "Okay, let's go down and get ready, and tell the team members about going to Osaka."

When everyone left, the corners of Yagyu's mouth couldn't help but curl up. This time the shogunate did a great job!
Originally, his power was trapped in Kyoto, but now the shogunate transferred the Shinsengumi to Osaka, allowing his power to expand to two major cities!
Of course, he knew that Hitotsubashi Keiki would adopt such a plan, probably because he wanted to separate Yagyu and the Shinsengumi, and then win over Kondo Isamu, Hijikata Toshizo and others, or at least use a divorce plan.

It has to be said that Hitotsubashi Keiki is a very powerful person. He followed the trend, implemented such a plan, and took advantage of the situation to the extreme. Moreover, by doing this, Hitotsubashi Keiki must have a clear understanding of the Shinsengumi.

The only breakthrough for Hitotsubashi Keiki is Kondo Isamu. As for Hijikata Toshizo, Nagakura Shinpachi and others, Hitotsubashi Keiki can't win over them at all.

But Kondo Isamu can, because Kondo Isamu is moving closer to a traditional samurai, and historically Kondo Isamu also actively moved closer to the shogunate after becoming an imperial family member.

That's why Yagyu arranged for Hijikata Toshizo to assist Kondo Isamu. With Hijikata Toshizo here, Hitotsubashi Keihi's win over would not be so smooth. At least Yagyu would know Kondo Isamu's actions.

"Don't underestimate Ichibashi Keixi. This guy really hides his secrets and has a smiling face."

Yagyu murmured, remembering what happened today.

The words were divided into two parts. Hirosawa Tomijiro told Matsudaira Yongho with Yagyu's answer. Matsudaira Yongho learned that Yagyu would stay in Kyoto as a judge for prosecuting illegal crimes. He felt relieved. He finally completed the mission of the shogunate. At the same time, Yagyu didn't blame the shogunate and turned to others, which made him happy.

Matsudaira Yongho said with a smile: "I feel a lot more relaxed when I can work with Jubei to guard Kyoto."

The news that the Shinsengumi was leaving Kyoto for Osaka soon spread. It suddenly became a hot news on the streets of Kyoto, and soon even the ministers and the emperor knew about it.

The emperor immediately asked Guan Bai to investigate the matter and summoned Yagyu.

In the palace, Yagyu visited the emperor. Emperor Komei asked hurriedly: "I heard that Ai Qing is going to be sent to Osaka. What should I do in Kyoto?"

Yagyu saluted and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. I have sent Kondo, Hijikata and the others to lead the Shinsengumi south to Osaka to suppress the anti-barbarian ronin related to the Choshu clan. As for me, I have already formed a team that is responsible for checking and not violating the rules, and will stay in Kyoto to protect your Majesty's safety." .”

When Emperor Xiaomei heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "I see, I feel at ease now that I have my beloved in Kyoto."

Nijo Saike quickly said: "Your Majesty, Lord Satsuma, Lord Tosa and others can also protect the safety of Kyoto."

Emperor Takamei just nodded and did not answer. He knew very well about these feudal lords. These people used his name to seek their own power, unlike Yagyu who was reassuring and worry-free.

"My dear, you have done a good job. When the new year comes, I will promote you to captain. Soon, you will be the deputy minister of the police."

Yagyu immediately thanked him. Emperor Takamei was so kind.

 Thank you for your support!Thank you so much!
