I started with the Shinsengumi in Bakumatsu

Chapter 80 Stop Yagyu quickly!

Originally, the Ikedaya incident would have resulted in Ozawa's death due to the Shinsengumi's numerical disadvantage. This time, Yagyu restrained more than ten people. Therefore, Toudo Heisuke and Ozawa were only injured, and two other team members were seriously injured. .

As for the 35 people in Ikeda House, at least 25 were killed or injured. There were several others in the courtyard, and only two escaped.

One of them was Mochizuki Onita. He injured his back and ran away. He wanted to ask for help, but Katsura Kogoro did not come forward, and no one from Choshu or Tosa came forward. He was disappointed and finally committed suicide by drawing a knife.

Sakamoto Ryoma rushed to the scene and only saw the blood-dried body.

Another person who escaped was captured by the belatedly arrived Special Select Group.

Half an hour before Yagyu led the Shinsengumi to raid.

Komori Kyutaro said to Hirosawa Tomijiro and Akizuki Teijiro: "You two immediately tell Attendant Yagyu that the Lord is already negotiating with the people of Choshu and ask them not to act rashly."

Hirosawa Tomijiro said in confusion: "Mr. Komori, I don't understand..."

Komori Kyutaro immediately yelled: "Are you confused? The Choshu clan's Laishima Matabei and the others have led their troops close to Kyoto under the pretext of appealing to the Choshu Marquis. If they kill their people now, these lunatics will probably attack Kyoto. By then, When the war begins, we, the Aizu Domain, will take the lead!
Idiot, think clearly, it was the Shinsengumi who caused the trouble, why did they end up fighting the Choshu clan and the people who died were the Aizu clan's people? "

Tanaka Tosa also agreed with Komori Kutaro's idea and said: "A peaceful solution is the best way. Go quickly."

The two of them did not dare to stop and rushed to the Shinsengumi camp overnight. However, there were only more than 30 people left in the camp to defend the camp, and Yagyu and others had already left.

Qiuyue Tejiro asked anxiously: "Where is your director?"

One of the team members replied: "We have gone to search for the Choshu clan's people over at Sanjo Street. Those ronin are going to hold a meeting to discuss burning Kyoto."

Akizuki Teijiro secretly said something bad, and hurriedly pulled Hirosawa Tomijiro back to Kurotani Guangming Temple, shouting: "It's not good, Director Yagyu has already gone to arrest the people from Choshu!"

Komori Kyutaro immediately stood up and said: "This is bad. The Shinsengumi people will definitely start a fight when they see those anti-barbarian ronin! We must send someone to stop them!"

Tanaka Tosa hurriedly said: "Sagawa, the Yamakawa people quickly lead the other selection groups over!"

Sagawa Kanbei and Yamakawa Daizo immediately got up and led the special selection team to the vicinity of Sanjo Street. Then they met the survivors who had escaped and learned that they were in Ikedaya.

A group of them rushed over immediately, just in time to see Hijikata Toshizo coming with people to support him.

Yagyu was standing at the door. When he saw Hijikata Toshizo, he took the lead in greeting him: "Hey, Hijikata, you are too late. The battle is over."

Sagawa Kanbei and Yamakawa Daizo saw that Yagyu was covered in blood, and they quickly stepped forward and asked: "Attendant Yagyu, the people here..."

Yagyu said calmly: "These people tried to resist, but we killed them. This time there were 35 thieves. Except for two people who escaped, there should be no survivors among the remaining 33 people."

Yamamoto Kakuma was shocked and a little angry, and stepped forward and said: "Mr. Yagyu, by doing this, you will plunge Kyoto into war!"

Hijikata Tobizo blocked Yamamoto Karuma and sneered: "Can the war be avoided? The people of the Choshu Domain are crazy."

Yagyu said: "Let's deal with the bodies inside first."

Sagawa Kanbei didn't say much. He turned back to look at Yamakawa Daizo and said, "Clean up." Yamakawa Daizo immediately led people in. They only saw a mess inside Ikeda's house, with blood stains everywhere. When they got to the second floor, there was a room directly in front of them. The blood flowed like a river, and there was nowhere to stay.

"As expected of... Executioner Yagyu Battousai..."

The Ikedaya incident quickly reached Hitotsubashi Keki.

Hitotsubashi Qingxi was woken up from his sleep. When he learned such a bad news, he directly cursed: "What is he doing? Does he think the people in Changzhou are not angry enough, does he have to add fuel to the fire?" ?Call Yagyu immediately!"

After calming down for a moment, Hitotsubashi Yingxi immediately called his subordinates and said: "Immediately tell Marquis Kuwana and Marquis Aizu to blame all this matter on the Shinsengumi and Yagyu.

Immediately sent an envoy to deliver a message to Changzhou, telling them that this time things happened on Yagyu's own initiative and had nothing to do with the shogunate, and the shogunate would not interfere. "

More than an hour later, Yagyu came to Nijo Castle to meet Hitotsubashi to celebrate.

Hitotsubashi said with a straight face: "This incident was caused by you alone and has nothing to do with the shogunate. The shogunate will never help you."

Liu Sheng said with an indifferent expression: "It doesn't matter. Even if Changzhou leads his troops to Beijing, I can handle it. No need to worry."

Ichihashi Qingxi laughed angrily and said: "Okay, okay, Attendant Yagyu, you are really bold. Let's wait and see. I'll see how long you can keep pretending. Please step back."

Yagyu returned to the camp and visited the injured Toudo Heisuke and Ozawa. The doctor had already treated the wounds. The problem was not serious. They were just flesh wounds and could be healed in half a month at most.

After Yagyu looked at the wounded soldiers, he saw Hijikata Toshizo and Kondo Isamu coming together. Hijikata Toshizo was a little worried and said: "Director, what should we do next?"

"Recall all the Shinsengumi's manpower in Osaka." Yagyu said calmly, not panicking, "There are 1000 infantry troops in the Prosecution and Non-Violation Bureau, plus the action team, our strength has reached half of the Choshu people. The problem Not big."

Kondo Isamu said in surprise: "Director, are we really going to start a war?"

Yagyu nodded and said: "The people of Choshu will not give up. You don't have to worry. The soldiers will block the water and cover it with earth. If the Choshu clan dares to attack Kyoto, I will definitely defeat them."

At dawn, not long after, the Emperor also learned about the Shinsengumi's raid on Ikedaya. Nijo Saikei and others even said that Yagyu Kigan had angered the Choshu Domain, and the Choshu Domain's troops were about to enter Kyoto. .

The emperor panicked and immediately summoned Yagyu.

Yagyu first calmed the emperor's mood, and then said: "Your Majesty the Emperor, the matter of the Choshu Domain is just a small matter. I have received the news. In three days, the envoys from Shikoku will arrive in Osaka."

As expected, Emperor Komei's attention was diverted and he discussed with Yagyu the issue of founding negotiations.

Having said that, Kushima Matabei, Hisaka Genzui, Maki Izumi and others did not know about the Ikedaya incident yet. They were leading their team to garrison on a hilltop in the west [-] kilometers away from Kyoto.

In the afternoon, Kusaka Genzui received information from Katsura Kogoro. He took the information and cried loudly: "Hateful Yagyu Battosai, you really deserve to die!"

Kurushima Matabei and others were shocked. They quickly took the note and looked at it. In an instant, they were filled with indignation and said: "Damn it! This villain must never be forgiven!"
