Ryuma and Aaron returned to Satsuma.
Within a few days, the Four Kingdoms responded.
The first move is the United States.
The warship Wyoming launched a fierce retaliatory bombardment on the Xiaguan Strait. Immediately afterwards, the Dutch warships, Semiramis and Doncred, also launched a retaliatory attack on the coast between Xiaguan and Nagato. After the fierce attack, the two Dutch warships also chose to send people to land on the coast and occupied the Japanese fortresses set up on the coast.
And at this time, a man stood up.
A man with a thin, red-haired man chose to resist foreigners.
Takasugi Shinsaku looked at the Changzhou vassal lord sitting in the main seat, his eyes cold.
"The vassal lord will not be unclear about the current situation."
"It's the United States and the Netherlands now. If the British were not restrained by Satsuma there, they would probably retaliate against us, let alone the French." Takasugi Shinsaku said loudly.
"This is a mistake we made, or, in other words, a mistake some of us have made."
His eyes swept across the hall with anger and urgency.
Several people subconsciously lowered their heads.
"But we have to bear these mistakes together, and we have no choice."
In the whole room, only Takasugi Shinsaku was talking loudly.
Everyone else, including the vassal lord, remained silent.
The veins on Takasugi Shinzuo's forehead were beating.
"What's wrong? Do you have no courage to face your mistakes? Do you still say that you are a warrior at this level?"
No one answered.
No one has face to answer.
Takasugi Jinsao felt that his blood pressure was about to explode.
"Enough!"
Takasugi Shinsaku slams the door and leaves.
He hurried back to his residence and covered his forehead.
"I have to think of a solution." Takasugi sighed, "Those upper-level vassals are all good at eating. The long-term wealth of luxury has made them forget their responsibilities and backbone, and they are completely embarrassed. Taking them on the battlefield will only become the target of the enemy."
"I need soldiers." He took care of his dark red hair and patted his face. "Since the upper trash is useless, then... let's focus on the lower samurai who can really fight for everything to live."
"...I have to talk to the lord."
As he said that, he stood up and hurried out again.
A few days later.
A team called "Shock Team" was led by Takasugi Shinsaku, and fought fiercely with foreigners from the coast from Shigaguan to Nagato.
This surprise soldier was a unit established in a very short period of time by Takasugi Shin-sama.
Some of Takasugi believed that the vassals were still energetic, and some even just recruited civilians.
The most are the lower samurai.
But such a team caused great trouble to foreigners...
Because Takasugi Shinsaki was very rich, each of these team members equipped with guns, and under the coverage of firepower, foreigners could not take advantage of it.
After a long confrontation, the foreigners finally surrendered and accepted the peace talks from the Choshu clan.
And when Takasugi Shinsaku was discussing details with foreigners using his pseudonym "Songdo Xingma"...
Kyoto.
August 18th.
The Xinzhu team was ambushed outside the village.
"This is the largest anti-barbarian organization in Tosa, the resident of the 'King Party'." The leader of the team looked at the team members who were following him.
"This time we used the power of two teams and must not make mistakes." Saito Ichi held his Ghost Maru Konoshige and ordered his team members.
“Our goal is…”
"The leader of the King's Party—Ruishan, Wushi."
......
Takeshi Ruishan is reading a letter from Satsuma.
"For selfishness, can I protect Okada Izuka..." Takeshi Ruiyama looked at Ryuma's letter with a little smile.
"Something doesn't look like your style...Sakamoto."
Suddenly, a noise came from outside the house.
Ruishan, Wu City, did not act rashly.
He put Longma's letter on the candlelight and watched the letter slowly turn into gray.
Sighed a long time.
But he said with a smile:
"It seems that my time has come."
Bang—
The door was kicked open roughly, and two men in light onion-colored Haori walked in.
The shorter one looked at the seated Ruishan in Takeshi, which was very upright, and said coldly: "Ruishan in Takeshi - is that right?"
Ruishan, Takeshi nodded and said nothing.
"Please don't act rashly, Mr. Takeichi." Saito Ichi smiled, "I don't want this to turn into a bloody conflict."
Takeshi Ruishan laughed twice: "Hahahaha-I don't want it either."
He stretched out his hands.
"So, let's go."
Okina Toshiji and Saitoi looked at each other, and were both surprised.
But neither of them was vague and directly put shackles on Ruishan, Wushi.
All the people in the royal family were arrested except for some people who escaped and those who were not at the resident.
At the same time, the Yamatodo, far away in Tosa, also launched a thunderous attack, and the forces stranded in Tosa were also captured.
Not only the royal party, but also the anti-barbarian organizations in Kyoto, and even the officials from the court and shogunate who advocated anti-barbarians did not escape.
All the officials of the expelling barbarians were dismissed from their posts and expelled from Kyoto, while all the expelling barbarians were imprisoned.
Everyone in the world was shocked.
This violent change defeated the barbarians' expulsion and all the high officials and officials of the barbarians who had the right to speak were arrested and exiled.
The anti-barbarian organizations led by the "King Party" were also captured by the vassal soldiers of various vassals, and the plan to save the king was completely bankrupt.
In prison, Ruishan, Takeshi, looked at his companions.
He was wearing a prison uniform, his eyes slightly dim.
He whispered to the royal guardians: "If anyone asks... Okada Izusa."
"Just say... there is no such person in our organization."
"Did you understand?"
Several people were a little confused, but they all nodded.
Takeshi Ruishan leaned against the wall, looking at the little light coming through the window above, and sighed.
Izang that child... I hope you can be safe.
......
At this time, Zuocun was sitting opposite a boy.
To be continued...
