The battle of Koshu Town was quickly over due to the overwhelming advantage of the new government.
In the Battle of Koshu Town, the Xinxuan group, who was responsible for guarding this place, brought a lot of trouble to the new government forces during the Battle of Sanming and the Battle of Toba Fushimi, was defeated.
The director of the new election group, Yuko Kondo, was captured alive, and the remaining big cats and kittens barely escaped.
Zuomura walked into the cell where Kondo Yuki was imprisoned.
No one stopped him.
He opened the cell directly, Zuocun walked in with a bottle of wine.
Kondo was lying in the corner, facing the wall, and was not too surprised to hear someone coming in.
"If you want to question the information, please forgive me for not giving me any advice."
"I'm not here to torture you." Zuomura sat opposite Kondo Yuki, his voice hoarse, "I'm just here to have a drink for you."
Kondo Yuki raised his head.
Zuomura looks a little decadent, but it is still much better than Yuko Kondo.
"...You just walked in? Chat with me, a prisoner?"
Kondo asked expressionlessly.
"Don't tell me you don't want to drink." Zuomura pulled out the bottle and threw a wine bowl in front of Kondo Yuki.
"... Of course I want to!" Kondo Yuki turned over and sat up, grabbed the wine bowl, stretched out in front of Zuocun, "Pour wine!"
The two looked at each other's eyes and smiled at the same time.
Zuocun poured wine for the two people, and the edges of the bowl collided, making a crisp sound.
The two people's movements were almost synchronized. When they raised their heads, the wine in the wine bowl was sipped.
The two of them didn't speak, and they just drank.
One bowl, two bowls, three bowls...
After drinking a bottle, Zuocun ran out and brought a box.
One bottle, two bottles, three bottles...
I don’t know if it was sweat or tears, but it fell from the faces of the two of them on the floor of the prison.
"Do you know why I came to you? Kondo? Do you know why I want to drink with you?"
Zuocun lowered his head, and water kept dripping on the ground.
Kondo looked at Zuomura, his face turned red and he didn't say anything.
"I'm afraid I can't do it. Now it's not a battle, not a battle... but I have to kill you, I have to kill you..."
Kondo drank a bowl of wine again, burped, and was indifferent to Zuocun's words.
"You were captured alive, I know what kind of torture and humiliation you will suffer, and your head will even be hung up and displayed..."
"I can't accept it, I can't accept it!"
Zuocun poured himself a bowl of wine and tilted his head to drink it.
Kondo Yuki suddenly burst into laughter.
“Hahahahahahahaha————”
"At the end of my life, I didn't expect to have to accept your alms!"
He took off his shirt and exposed his neck.
"Come and cut!"
Zuocun stood up in silence.
The crane is unsheathed.
"Goodbye, Kondo."
Zheng--
......
Zuocun buried Kondo's body in the outskirts of Koshu Town.
Saigo Morito didn't ask too much about this.
Zuomura added the last handful of soil to Kondo's grave, and felt that his eyes were dry.
He turned his head back to the military camp and found Saigo Moritotsu.
"Next, no matter how I act, I hope...you don't ask."
Saigo Morito nodded silently when he looked at the man who was almost destroyed.
Zuocun turned and left.
"After this action, I will stop the activity."
He looked at Saigo Morito: "...you don't let Ryuma down."
Zuocun walked out of the room and jumped up high.
His target...is Edo.
Zuocun's departure did not bring any changes.
After the Battle of Shinshu, the bones of the shogunate war faction were finally shattered by the new government forces.
On March 14, after intense negotiations, the new government negotiated with the remnants of the shogunate.
In the end, the two sides reached an agreement.
Edo Castle, bloodless open castle.
The shogunate handed over all warships and weapons to the new government army unconditionally, and at the same time, it also determined the fate of the shogunate leader and general Tokugawa Keiki.
Tokugawa Keiki will be sent to Mito for "retreatment".
In fact, it is just house arrest.
Sitting in the carriage heading to Mito's vague state, Tokugawa's eyes were dissipated and he didn't know where he was looking.
"it's over......"
"The Tokugawa family... is over..."
He sat in his seat, covering his face with his hands.
"Two hundred and sixty years of glory, two hundred and sixty years of glory-"
He shouted at the top of his lungs.
"It's all over..."
The sound returned to subtlety, and Tokugawa Keiki lay in his seat.
Give Edo Castle hand over and give all the weapons and equipment.
The Tokugawa Shogunate has been destroyed.
Even if he was the head of the Tokugawa family, he had already lost the new Tokugawa family head, named Tokugawa Ida.
He is just a tool to be abandoned now.
"Yes...shogunate, it's over."
Zheng--
The carriage that Tokugawa Keiki suddenly sank, as if it had fallen to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, a scream came from outside.
Some people have people, some horses have people.
"What's wrong? What happened?!" Tokugawa Kyoki was startled and stood up in panic, but suddenly felt his hair suddenly rising and he subconsciously squatted.
Zheng--
The carriage was cut in half.
To be continued...
