I started with the Shinsengumi in Bakumatsu

Chapter 9 The Ronin counterattacks and asks you to enter the urn

Tomijiro Hirosawa, who was in charge of liaison, also followed the shogunate's team this time as one of the representatives of the Aizu clan.

The shogun gave the Shinsengumi three hundred gold, which was handed over to Hirosawa Tomijiro by the shogunate.

Hirosawa Tomijiro took the money and came to the Shinsengumi camp to visit Yagyu.

Yagyu was woken up and after a little sobering with cold water, he came out to see Hirosawa Tomijiro.

Hirosawa Tomijiro said with a face of joy: "Yagyu, you have done well recently. The shogun heard that the Shinsengumi eliminated ronin and saved many ministers from being killed. He was very pleased and specially gave three hundred gold."

When Liu Sheng saw the three hundred gold, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Recently, the team members have been expanded too much, and money is really tight. These three hundred gold really solve the urgent need."

Hirosawa Tomijiro asked doubtfully: "I remember you have a plan to make money, right?"

Yagyu nodded and said, "That's right, but we've already arrived in Osaka before we've even started. I won't have time to carry out the plan until we return to Kyoto."

"I see." Hirosawa Tomijiro smiled and then said goodbye, "Then I'll leave first, and you can rest first."

Yagyu sent Tomijiro Hirosawa out of the camp, collected the three hundred gold, and went to rest.

In the evening, all members of the Shinsengumi gathered together. Yagyu took out more than a hundred gold and gave each person a small gold medal.

"Everyone, there is not much money in the group right now. I have asked Hehe to write down the rewards that should be given to everyone. If you have any questions, you can ask Hehe to check your rewards."

The newly joined Shuntaro Ogata asked: "I don't know where the director got this much money."

Takeda Kanryusai immediately said: "Don't worry, Mr. Yagyu already has a plan, and everyone will know it when he returns to Kyoto."

"That being the case, I have no objections."

Yagyu then said: "These are the bounties given by the General because of our dedicated service to the public. We must continue our efforts to combat the arrogance of the ronin!"

Although they only received one tael of gold, it had a different meaning to the members of the Shinsengumi. Most of them joined the Shinsengumi to serve the shogunate.

It is an honor for them to be rewarded by the General.

This time, the Shinsengumi members became even more motivated.

After another night of fighting, the team led by Yagyu killed three people, captured two, and returned to the camp.

The other teams also made gains, but this time the team led by Toudo Heisuke suffered casualties.

Team member Taro Noda was killed in the battle, and three others were injured. Yagyu immediately arranged for a doctor to treat the injured. At the same time, he took out a hundred gold as a pension and asked someone to give it to Noda's family.

Later, he asked Toudo Heisuke: "Did you meet a master? Or were you ambushed by ronin?"

Toudo Heisuke explained: "Mr. Yagyu, we were attacked near Tennoji Temple. The enemy was very strong. Noda was killed by the opponent's master. The rest of us and I fought and retreated. Fortunately, we met with the support of the general manager and repelled the enemy."

Takeda Kanryusai said seriously: "This is not easy to handle."

Kondo Isamu, Hijikata Suisan and others also frowned and thought.

Yagyu analyzed: "We have killed more than fifty ronin and captured more than 100 ronin these days. This forced the ronin to jump over the wall in a hurry, so they thought of attacking us.

Since they dare to take action against us, it can be seen that these ronin are suppressed too tightly by us.

That being the case, let's add fuel to the fire and force them further. "

"What are you going to do, Mr. Yagyu?"

Kondo Isamu asked immediately.

"Select a group of prisoners and behead them in public."

Yagyu looked calm, as if killing someone was not a big deal.

Takeda Kanryusai immediately understood Yagyu's intention and immediately said: "What a good idea. Kill some ronin and force them to be more aggressive. When the ronin discovers that we will almost come out in full force at night, they will definitely concentrate their efforts to rescue them." People." Yagyu said, "It would be a long night and a lot of dreams. Let Shimada and the others spread the news and let the rogues know that the camp is empty of troops at night.

At that time, I will be in charge of the camp and you will continue to patrol as usual. When the enemy appears, I will send out a signal. "

Isamu Kondo said worriedly: "Mr. Yagyu, that's too dangerous."

Yagyu raised his hand and said: "It is more dangerous for you to come. This is my plan. Naturally, I am the first to be the bait."

Nagakura Shinpachi immediately said: "Count me in!"

"Okay." Yagyu said without being pretentious, "This time the patrol outside is safe. Kawai and the others have to go out, leaving only a few team members with superb swordsmanship."

Yagyu made a counterattack plan and personally gave instructions to Shimada and Yamazaki. He asked a few people to spread the news and guide these ronin to attack the camp.

Afterwards, Yagyu led 40 ronin and beheaded [-] people on the river beach outside the streets of Osaka. Their heads were inserted on both sides of the road.

The rogues hidden in the crowd gnashed their teeth in anger.

In the Naniwa Tavern, the Ronin who attacked the Shinsengumi gathered together.

A ronin shouted loudly: "The executioners of the Shinsengumi have murdered forty of our patriots again. It's really hateful!"

"How to settle this blood feud!"

"We must rescue the captured patriots, otherwise they will definitely be killed by Yagyu, the executioner."

"Yes, but they are imprisoned in the Shinsengumi camp. How can we save them?"

The rogues were talking a lot, not knowing what to do.

However, one ronin said directly: "As long as Shutaro is here, we can just rush into the camp!"

Among the ronin, Yamazaki Hao said quickly: "I have news. The people of the Shinsengumi basically go out to patrol at night. There are usually no more than ten people in the camp."

"Less than ten people, no matter what, they will rush into the Shinsengumi camp!"

The others responded one after another, and one ronin asked: "Shuutaro, will you come to help too?"

Shimoe Shutaro nodded and said: "Okay, let's go together to rescue those patriots."

"With Shutaro taking action, the Shinsengumi will definitely be defeated this time!"

Shutaro Shimoe was the ronin master who killed Noda last night. He was a master of the Hokutatsu Ittōryu from Chiba Dojo in Edo. He followed Ryoma Sakamoto and Jutaro Chiba to Osaka.

Because the Shinsengumi suppressed the ronin who respected the emperor and fought against the barbarians, Chiba Jutaro asked him to help.

The ronin agreed to attack the Shinsengumi camp at night, and Yamazaki Hao secretly sent a message to Shimada on the outskirts.

After listening to Shimada's report, Yagyu remained calm even though he knew that more than fifty ronin would attack at night.

"I know, just deal with it according to the plan."

Yagyu said simply and went to rest.

Takeda Kanryusai sighed: "It's as fast as the wind, as slow as the forest, as aggressive as fire, and as motionless as a mountain. This is the military law of Takeda Shingen, the tiger of Koshu, 300 years ago. I thought I had mastered the essence of Koshu military law, but I didn't expect to meet Yagyu. Compared to adults, I am truly ashamed."

Isamu Kondo stood up and said, "Everyone, have a good rest."

Everyone immediately dispersed to recharge their batteries and wait for the big battle in the evening.
