Frontal battlefield.
Takasugi Shinsaku is leading his army to fight with the shogunate joint army.
Because the Satsuma tribe, one of the most powerful vassals, did not go to war, it was almost impossible for the shogunate to gain advantage on the battlefield.
"Damn it, where did these thieves get so many guns!"
The shogunate commander said furiously.
His name is Tokugawa Keiki.
He didn't understand why the Choshu army had such strong combat capabilities. Although the number of people was less than half of the Shogunate Army, it had rich combat experience and advanced weapons and equipment, so it forced the Shogunate Army to fight.
"What about the navy? What is that guy Katsukaihou doing now?" Tokugawa Kyoshi seemed to be an angry lion.
"Sir Katsukai Zhou... is confronting the navy of the Changzhou vassal..." The subordinate in armor reported in cold sweat.
"Confrontation? Why not fire?" Tokugawa Keiki suppressed his anger and questioned.
"Because... the number of warships held by the Changzhou Navy is no less than the fleet led by Lord Shenghaizhou..." The subordinate gritted his teeth and reported.
Tokugawa Keiki felt a flame burning in his chest.
He knew where these weapons and equipment came from.
Do those miscellaneous foreigners would rather make money from these traitors than from the shogunate?
Tokugawa Ieshima, what was that shogun thinking?
What exactly are you thinking!!!
"You go out."
Tokugawa Keiki still retained a little rationality, knowing that all this was not the fault of this subordinate.
The subordinate saluted slightly, exited the room, and closed the door.
Immediately afterwards, I heard the sound of roaring and smashing from the door, which scared the subordinate quickly left.
......
After taking action from the newly selected group, everyone was controlled.
Protecting the general is not good, this is a felony.
After the interrogation, Okinaki, Nagakura Shinhara, Saito Ichi and Harada Sonosuke were released, and the culprits who held command that night were left.
The captain of the newly selected team of the sixth team, Genzaburo Inoue.
Genzaburo Inoue will apologize in front of the general's tomb after General Tokugawa Ieshima's body is recaptured.
Before this, Genzaburo Inoue would be imprisoned in prison.
Main-ji Okita sat in silence among the newly selected group's station.
Figures flashed through my mind.
Everyone in the Trial and Health Center, the New Selection Group, and the children from Rensheng Village.
as well as......
Zuocun Annuo.
She stroked the hilt of Qingguang, California.
Inoue Genzaburo's heart was shattered.
The murderer is not only Zuomura, but also her, Saito and Nagakura.
"Ahem—"
Okina Main-Shiji suddenly coughed violently.
Blood appeared in the palm of her hand.
She suddenly felt irritated.
No matter how good or intimate your relationship was before, you are the opponent when you hold a knife and you just need to swing the knife.
This is her creed.
But...
......Anyway, I will treat you as an enemy, Zuocun.
"Cough-Cough-Cough-Cough-Cough-"
......
September.
The discussion between the old and Chinese has finally ended.
General Tokugawa Ishimaki is dead, so a new general candidate must be considered.
But General Tokugawa Ieshima had no children, and even if he had children, he was too young.
The general's position cannot be without people.
After discussion, everyone discussed a candidate.
That is Tokugawa Keiki, who is on the front line to attack the Changshu family.
Tokugawa Keiki is the best in the Tokugawa family, and he is good at literature and martial arts, and has a good reputation.
But after deciding on the candidates, there is still a problem that lies in front of the old Chinese.
The general is fighting in front of you, and you run over and tell the king that you are dead, and you will become the king in the future, and then throw this mess at someone.
This is not a wise move, it is a shake of the morale of the army.
But what happened next was completely beyond the expectations of the old and middle-aged.
......
Tokugawa Keiki looked at Tokugawa Ishiki's head in Takasugi Shinsaku's hands and was stunned.
What happened in the past two months since I left Kyoto?
"So, Tokugawa, do you have any ideas?" Takasugi Shinsaku looked at Tokugawa Keiki opposite with a provocative smile.
Tokugawa Kyoki forced himself to calm down.
"Thief, don't think that just taking a single head can be said to be the general's head. You can't deceive me!"
Even though he said this, Tokugawa Keiki's tone was obviously full of... uncertainty.
"I believe there will be a result soon." Takasugi Shinsaku smiled, "I don't know what you will feel at that time."
Today, Takasugi Shinsaku was not here to fight, he just came to disgust Tokugawa Keiki.
He really wanted to see what this famous general would feel and choose after hearing that his family was stolen.
"retreat!"
Tokugawa Keiki looked at Takasugi Shinsaku riding on a horse and gritted his teeth.
"Go and ask me for words to Kyoto."
“What the hell happened?”
"The time I left - what exactly happened!"
The next day, the station.
"So, the one in the hands of Thief Takasugishi is really..."
He felt his heart stop beating.
What a mess.
He led his troops to fight, but he could not defeat him. The soldiers of the Changshu clan relied on their small number of people to move and flexibly, jumping down like monkeys. He relied on his equipment and geographical advantages to fight the shogunate joint army to dizziness, and the navy could not get any advantage.
Just as he was a little surprised and was about to officially start fighting with the enemy, the boss on the opposite side suddenly took his boss's head and said to him: "Look, your general's head."
The key is that after verification, this is really the general's head.
The bad news came with Lao Zhong’s instructions.
End the battle as soon as possible, try every means to regain the head of General Tokugawa Ishishi, and then return to Edo - accept the enfeoffment of the general's position.
"Go, send an envoy to the group of people in the Changzhou clan."
Tokugawa Kyoki felt that his gums were almost bleeding due to bites, and his voice was filled with anger that could not be concealed by trembling.
"I want to... make peace."
He felt extremely humiliated, especially at the moment when he was about to take over the shogunate.
The shogunate's face was thrown on the ground and crushed around.
Tokugawa Ishimatsu was assassinated and his head was taken to the front line of the war. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha-
Tokugawa Keiki's eyes turned dark and she fainted.
"Master Tokugawa!Master Tokugawa!"
......
After the tense talks between the two sides, the war that caused the Tokugawa family to be humiliated came to an end.
As a representative of the shogunate, Tokugawa Kyoki recognized Takasugi Shinsaku's status within the Choshu vassal and agreed to withdraw his troops.
The price is just the return of Takasugi Shinsaku to the head of General Tokugawa Ishiki.
Tokugawa Keiki wanted Takasugi Shinsaku to hand over Zuomura Annuo, but what he got in the end was just a threat and the fact that Zuomura Annuo was missing.
