I started with the Shinsengumi in Bakumatsu

Chapter 79: Killing towards Ikeda House
Masuya Kiemon was brought back to the camp. When Yagyu saw Kiemon, he took out a love letter: "Kieemon? Ha, I should call you Kotaka Shuntaro, Omi Ronin, now Naga. Yoshida Nomo, a wanderer who escaped from the feudal state, was doing something."

Kodaka Shuntaro was very surprised. He didn't expect that his identity would no longer be a secret in the hands of the Shinsengumi.

Yagyu put down the intelligence report: "Tell me, what is the plot of the Choshu clan that actually needs so much gunpowder, foreign guns, kerosene, armor, and lanterns from the Aizu clan?"

"Could it be that the Choshu clan is determined to set fire to Kyoto and then kidnap the emperor under the banner of the Aizu clan?"

Kodaka Shuntaro's eyes widened, he looked at Yagyu and shouted: "Who told you! Traitor, who betrayed us!"

He certainly didn't expect Yagyu to know everything. In his opinion, this was clearly a traitor in the team.

Hijikata Toshizo said somewhat sinisterly: "If you, Choshu, can arrange for the Shinsengumi to be a spy, so can we. I forgot to mention that several of the secretaries you arranged for died just two hours ago. Chief Chef Matsunaga is here to see you." After killing you, he was killed."

"Bastards! You bastards, I'm going to kill you!"

Kodaka Shuntaro wanted to resist, but was immediately hung up. Saitoichi came over with a stick and looked at Yagyu.

Liu Sheng stood up and said, "Ask for the specific situation."

"I won't say...ah!"

Saito didn't give Shuntaro Kotaka a chance to finish his words, and directly beat Shuntaro Kotaka with a stick. In the dark small room, screams continued to sound.

But Kodaka Shuntaro didn't speak even after being beaten half to death.

Hijikata Toshizo couldn't bear it any longer. He began to use various tortures against Shuntaro Kotaka. Finally, he found candles and began to burn the palms of his hands and feet. The heartbreaking pain made Shuntaro Kotaka unable to bear it anymore. , explained everything he knew.

Yagyu took the confession and said with a serious expression: "They set a fire on the night of the Gion Festival. The lunatics of the Choshu clan are really crazy!"

Kondo Isamu was also very dissatisfied and said: "That night, many citizens were playing in Gion. Once a fire broke out, the consequences would be disastrous!"

Hijikata Toshizo then said: "These people are crazy and don't care about the life and death of ordinary people. Director, we must stop them.

The enemy's stronghold is at a certain hotel on Shijo Bridge and Sanjo Street. If we search along the way, our Shinsengumi does not have enough manpower and needs support from other teams. "

Yagyu knew the enemy was at Ikedaya, but he couldn't be sure directly to avoid the butterfly effect.

He decided that he still had to be fully prepared. He could mobilize the action team of the Office of Non-violation of the Inspection and Quarantine to support him, and notified Matsudaira Yoshiho of the Aizu Domain to come for support.

Yagyu stood up and said, "I'm going to find Lord Matsudaira."

Yagyu rushed to Kurotani Guangming Temple immediately. At this time, Matsudaira Yongho was recovering from a serious illness and his body was still not feeling well. He had to meet Matsudaira Yongho in the bedroom, with a curtain between them.

Matsudaira Yongho's face was still a little pale, and his words were a little weak: "Servant Yagyu, what's the emergency?"

Yagyu Hui reported: "Matsudaira-sama, today the Shinsengumi captured a Choshu Domain Hosaku. From his mouth, we learned that people from the Choshu Domain planned to set a fire on the night of the Gion Festival and take advantage of the chaos to kidnap the emperor and go to Choshu."

"What!" Matsudaira Rongbao was shocked, "Are the people of Changzhou crazy! Ahem... Attendant Yagyu... must... must... stop this!"

Matsudaira Yongho was very excited and had a sickly flushed face.

Yagyu immediately said: "Lord Matsudaira, I will definitely stop this. Now I need Lord Matsudaira's support."

Matsudaira Yongho, who took a breath, nodded and said: "Okay, I will ask the other team and Sasaki's meeting team to provide support."

"Without further ado, I'll go back and prepare first."

Yagyu immediately returned to the Shinsengumi camp. He arranged inspection routes for all teams. At the same time, he led a total of ten people including Isamu Kondo, Souji Okita, Shinpachi Nagakura, Ichi Saito, Heisuke Toudo, and Ozawa to inspect Ikeda House.

In addition, more than 20 Shinsengumi team members followed Hijikata Toshizo and searched in the direction of Shikokuya.

After arranging the team and route, the team members began to put on their armor, arrange their sabers, and wait for the order to set off.

Yagyu sat on the main seat, waiting for reinforcements from the Aizu clan.

……

At Kurotani Guangming Temple, Matsudaira Yoho handed over the matter to his retainers Tanaka Tosa, Komori Kyutaro and others. He had just been cured of the cold and was weak, so he lay down to rest early after drinking medicine.

Originally, he thought this matter could be handled properly, but Komori Kutaro strongly objected and was not allowed to select a group to go to support.

Komori Kyutaro said righteously: "We have already offended the Choshu Domain last time, if we intervene again this time, we will fight to the death with the Choshu Domain from now on!

It is already very difficult for the Aizu Domain to maintain peace in Kyoto. We cannot be as reckless as Yagyu's attendants. What we should do now is to send people to discuss with the Choshu Domain and persuade them to give up this plan.

If we act together with the Shinsengumi, the Shinsengumi will definitely cause trouble, and then the Aizu clan who acts with them will get angry! "

Tanaka Tosa frowned and said: "But my lord means that the other members of the group will support the Shinsengumi immediately."

Komori Kyutaro did not back down and said: "The meeting team has not set off yet, so why should we be anxious?"

Tanaka Tosa has a soft temper, and he asked in a tangled tone: "What should I do if my lord asks me about this?"

Komori Kyutaro immediately said: "Just give it to Sasaki."

At ten o'clock in the evening, Yagyu still didn't see the arrival of the separate team and the return team.

Hijikata Toshizo asked: "Director, are you still waiting? If you continue to wait like this, I'm afraid the enemy will have escaped."

Yagyu thought that someone might be blocking it.

He raised Onimaru Kiri and shouted: "Come out of the battle!"

"Oh!"

All team members in the camp set off immediately.

Yagyu led Kondo Isamu, Okita Souji and ten others straight to Ikeda House.

...At eight o'clock in the evening, in Ikeda's house, 35 anti-barbarian patriots such as Miyabe Daizo and Yoshida Noma were having a dinner. Dozens of people gathered in a room to drink, talk loudly, and laugh constantly.

The party lasted for nearly two hours. The banquet was removed and everyone began to discuss the next plan.

Yoshida Minoru sighed and said: "We have been very careful, but we were still discovered by the Shinsengumi people. Mr. Kodaka was arrested. I wonder if he can withstand the torture of the Shinsengumi?"

"Gu Gao won't betray us, right?"

"How is it possible? Mr. Gu Gao will definitely not give in."

"We should believe Mr. Gougao!"

Miyabe Daizo said: "Kougao is our comrade. We have to rescue him. In addition, everything needed for the plan is in the Shinsengumi's camp. We must find a way to raid the Shinsengumi's camp."

Otaka Matajiro said depressedly: "Mr. Katsura hasn't come yet?"

A grumpy man complained: "Kuai Kogoro is afraid, isn't he?"

"Ignore that coward."

Yoshida Minoru said with some dissatisfaction: "Mr. Gui is not that kind of person."

Miyabe Daizo also spoke for Katsura Kogoro: "He should be still busy and will be here soon. Let's discuss what we said before."

Just as everyone was chatting about the plan, Yagyu had already arrived at Ikeda House with Kondo Isamu, Okita Souji and ten others.

"Go up and knock on the door."

Kondo Isamu immediately stepped forward and knocked on the store door. Ban Tou took a look and was secretly shocked.

Kondo Isamu immediately said: "The Shinsengumi has been ordered to inspect."

The hostess smiled and said, "Please come in, please come in."

Yagyu was a little confused, so he took the lead in walking in. Nabantou led the way, took two steps, speeded up and rushed to the stairs, raised his head and shouted: "Guests on the second floor, the Shinsengumi has come to check!"

"Stop him!"

Liu Sheng immediately drew his sword and rushed upstairs.

"Kondo, Souji, come with me!"

Yagyu immediately rushed upstairs, and the door to the second floor opened instantly. More than a dozen rogues stared at Yagyu at the top of the stairs.

"Everyone is upstairs!"

Yagyu shouted, and Kondo Isamu and Okita Souji followed behind Yagyu. Kondo Isamu immediately shouted down: "Send someone to notify Hijikata quickly!"

When Miyabe Daizo upstairs saw this situation, he immediately drew his sword and shouted: "Kill them!"

Yagyu immediately took action and slashed the ronin directly in front to death. Another ronin slashed at him, but Yagyu blocked it with his gauntlet. Yagyu grabbed the man, roared, pushed him hard and rushed inside.

The ronin behind yelled and backed away.

Kondo Isamu and Okita Souji rushed up to the second floor and fought towards both sides of the corridor.

Some ronin panicked and jumped downstairs, but there were Sanosuke Harada, Shinpachi Nagakura and Kazuo Saito at the door.

There was also a ronin who rushed towards the small door of the backyard, where he happened to meet Heisuke Toudo and Ozawa.

Yagyu had already rushed into the room where the ronin were gathering. Miyabe Daizo, Yoshida Minoma and more than ten ronin surrounded him. Yagyu swung his sword repeatedly, and Odaka Matajiro and other ronin fell at Yagyu's feet.

The swords of Miyabe Daizou and the others only left scratches on Yagyu's armor, and the Jinhaori on the armor was also damaged.

Yagyu immediately advised: "Surrender, you have no chance."

Yoshida Minoru shouted loudly: "Hold on, I have asked Mr. Katsura Kogoro for help!"

Miyabe Naizo was holding a knife, and blood was flowing from his arm. He glared at Yagyu and shouted: "Stupid, Yagyu Heiyan, do you know what we are going to do? Do you know that what we are doing is saving Japan? And you are destroying Japan!"

Yagyu asked in return: "Are you going to burn down Kyoto to save Japan?"

Yoshida Minoru said angrily: "You executioner won't understand, you are the one who forced us to do this!"

Miyabe Daizo picked up the knife again and shouted: "The world will know that everything we did was right, kill!"

Yagyu immediately slashed horizontally, then turned and slashed diagonally. The skin on Miyabe Kanazou's back was torn open and blood dripped. He fell to the ground and soon died.

"go to hell!"

Not to be outdone, Yoshida Nima stepped forward with his sword. Yagyu quickly slashed horizontally and committed seppuku. Yoshida Nima dropped his things on the ground and fell dead immediately.

The whole room was covered with blood, and even Yagyu felt slippery when walking. Bodies were piled up on the ground, and stumps, broken arms, fingers and other things were also scattered on the ground.

Yagyu carefully walked out of the room, wiped the blood from his eyes, and shouted: "Kondo, Souji, how are you?"

Kondo Isamu walked out holding a wall and said: "It's okay, I'm a little tired."

Okita Souji came out of another room and said with some disgust: "It's really comfortable when I'm cutting people, but the blood stains always stick to my body. I want to go back and take a shower quickly."

Yagyu immediately said: "Go and see the others."

　I originally wrote this yesterday. After dinner, my hands and head started to feel numb, so I lay down and stopped writing. Sorry, sorry!
