Chapter 9: The Marching of Time and Space
In the fourth year of Keio (1868), Vice Admiral Enomoto Takehiro of the Moto-Edo Shogunate proclaimed the establishment of the "Republic of Ezo" (Ezo is present-day Hokkaido), declaring opposition to the Meiji government. It is worth mentioning that www.biquge.info deputy chief of the Shinsengumi, Toshizo Hijikata, who served as the same army minister as Keisuke Otori, was among them
At that time, the Ezo regime had the extremely high combat effectiveness of the "Kaiyo" battleship, and its naval strength was superior to that of the Meiji government. However, the Kaiyang was then damaged, and Ezo was defeated in the battle with the new Meiji government for the "Kotetsu" battleship.
On March 21, Meiji 2, the Battle of Miyako Bay was held, and the Meiji New Army failed in a surprise attack on Ezo.
On April 9, Meiji 2, the Meiji New Army landed at Obubu in the northern part of Esashira, and attacked Hakodate in three directions.
In the ensuing naval battles, the Ezo regime was defeated one after another, and the warships were lost one after another. At about the same time, Toshizo Hijikata was killed in battle at Ichichikimun, located on the boundary between Hakodate and Goryokaku.
With no hope of fighting, Enomoto surrendered to the Japanese government on May 18. The short history of the "Republic of Ezo" has also turned into a colorful cherry blossom in late spring......
"History cannot be changed? That's just what the government says to protect its own interests!"
The sound of the fog village rang out, and the darkness around it disappeared in an instant. In front of you is Miyako Bay, which is full of artillery fire.
Shikima and Yuki appeared on top of the Ezo government's warship, and the ship opposite was the Shinsei Army's
"Hahahaha! The armor and iron battleships that the Meiji government bought with a lot of money are nothing more than that!" laughed roughly. The person who spoke was Ezo Navy Advocate Ikunosuke Arai.
A showdown with the Meiji government?
It took a few minutes to understand the situation.
The first thing he saw was Toshizo Hijikata in a dress.
California Kiyomitsu is the close attendant chosen by Shikima today, so Shikima is very familiar with the members of the Shinsengumi. The connection between the Inquisitor and the Servant Knife is inextricably linked, so many memories are shared.
Kiyomitsu often has dreams related to Shinsengumi, and that's what the Hijikata Suizo in his dreams looks like.
Toshizo Hijikata is wearing a dress, which means that the Shinsengumi have now left Kyoto.
Shijina noticed the deck beneath his feet again.
Battleship.
The temperature around is not high, and there is a faint fog on the sea.
This is probably the sea to the north.
"Open the artillery, open the artillery, and wipe out all the New Deal Army!"
Shijina frowned.
He felt the breath of a march back in time.
The light on his hand was still cold, and he had no vitality at all.
"The spiritual power is still in a sealed state, and it seems that Qingguang can't be restored to the state of mourning. ”
Shijina suddenly felt someone tugging at his clothes.
He turned his head and saw that it was Yuki.
She shivered in horror.
All she saw was the exploding ship debris and the bloody splatters of flesh in the sky. She had never seen the battlefield, and she was terrified.
"Bang!" a cannon fire rang out, and the ship shook violently.
"Ahh
The guy in Kirimurakami ...... Did you involve unrelated people?
Shijin gritted his teeth.
"Don't be afraid, leave it to me. ”
Shiki's words made Yuki's heart feel a little calmer.
He grabbed Yuki's shoulder with one hand, and grabbed Kiyomitsu tightly in his hand with the other.
Qingguang's sword body was cold, and there was no trace of life.
What the hell is wrong with Kiyomitsu now?
Gotta hurry up and end this farce!
Shi Zhen concentrated, as the God Inquisitor with the highest win rate and the largest number of total appearances in the Space-Time Administration, he was all too familiar with the time-space tracing march.
A quick glance around, carefully observing every corner.
Suddenly, a dark shadow crossed in front of him.
It's that person!
Shikizhen locked on to the target.
The target of the time-space marching army is that person - the navy pursues Arai Ikunosuke!
After locking the target, the Fu Fu God or God Inquisitor who is out of the battle at that historical node needs to go out of this target. After that, the causality of things will naturally be corrected, and then history will be put back on the established track.
Shijina quickly pulled out his sword and slashed towards Arai Ikunosuke.
Get rid of him, just get rid of him......
However, how could this premeditated scene in Kirimura be solved so easily.
Shijina slashed Arai Ikunosuke with a knife, but he was hit in the back.
He quickly dodged, then raised his hand to shoot back.
The sword light flashed in front of him, and the real attack of today's style was easily defused. The man was majestic, and the sword in his hand was as powerful as the guns on the battleship.
"Hijikata is three years old. Shijin muttered to himself.
The person who attacked him was Toshizo Hijikata.
Shijin didn't want to stay. All he had to do now was to return to Yuki's side and activate the technique to return to Honmaru and everything would be fine. The Temporal Authority will naturally take care of the rest.
He swung his sword forward, trying to break through the earth's block. Today Shi really doesn't care about getting hurt, because as long as he solves the incident and returns to Honmaru, he will naturally have a way to heal his injuries.
But the earth's general is really very tight, and this trick that does not leak is really unfavorable to the current Shijin.
But this kind of move is easier to deal with than Kiyomitsu's flexible and changeable attacks.
The earthwork slashed left and right, and Shijin turned around to dodge. If the other party blocks the way, he will stab back.
Shijin's thrust is unique, he is used to leaning forward when he draws back his sword, and then swings his sword to the right and then passes under the opponent's blade in an instant, making a coercion to deal with the enemy. (Waki: The sword is placed diagonally on the abdomen, and the sword is not visible from the front, which is a feint attack and wants to attack)
This is a habit that was developed when he joined hands with Kiyomitsu, and it was also the habit of Kiyomitsu's former owner, Soji Okita.
Shikima's coherent movements shocked Hijikata.
"What are you. Hijikata asked.
"Someone you don't know. Shi Zhen replied in a low voice.
On this battlefield full of artillery fire, the conversation between the two of them seemed to have nothing to do with these artillery fires. The chaos around them didn't distract them, and they were just like fellow students in the room.
The swordsmanship of both of them is based on the natural flow of reason, but the three years of Hijikata are more complicated. Most of Shiki's master is Shi Kiyomitsu, and the master of Kiyomitsu is Okita Soji, who has been exempted from the natural flow of compassion since he was nineteen years old. (Exemption from all passes: To obtain the title of "exempt" means to be able to tell others the name of their school, "all of them" means to learn all the techniques of a particular school.) It can be roughly understood as "graduation". )
Therefore, Shi Zhen's sword moves are naturally more pure.
Shi Zhen is only sixteen years old, although his swordsmanship is outstanding, but he is not defeated by the three years old who has held the sword for many years. Qingguang can't go to the battlefield now, and Shizhen knows that he will fight hard.
Unexpectedly, he seems to be evenly matched with Hijikata?
No, he's confused about something?
Shijina sensed that something was wrong with him.
Hijikata's eyes are cloudy, and his sword moves are aimless.
This is...... Chrono-space-time march?!
