Chapter Seventy-Six: After the War

The war is over!

After a decade-long war, the war that swept the entire country is finally over!

Three days after the end of the war, the shogunate unilaterally issued a declaration of victory in the war, and at the same time, the Shogunate defined the Shogunate as terrorists, and ordered them to be wanted by the Oni Soldiers and the Devil Soldiers, the Devil Soldiers, and the Miscellaneous. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoSince then, the war has ended with a complete defeat of the heroes!

In this war, Japan's samurai class was almost swept away, and in the ten-year war, a total of tens of thousands of samurai died on the battlefield, people's livelihood withered, and many places affected by the war became deserted!

As a result, the shogunate's "Abolition of the Sword Order" was strictly enforced!

The reason why it is said to be the shogunate is because the promulgation of the "abolition of the sword order" is actually the appeal of the shogunate! Whether it is the Tokugawa clan as a shogun, or the Celestial Dao people who control the shogunate behind the scenes, they are all threatened by the samurai!

And in this year, a samurai named Xun Kondo, after obtaining the consent of the shogunate, based on his own dojo disciples, established an unknown organization - the Shinsengumi!

After the war, except for those who lost their relatives and comrades-in-arms, the people's discussion was not as loud as imagined.

The commoners were concerned about the oil, salt, sauce and vinegar in their lives, and the upper nobles were concerned about how to make greater profits in the tide of heaven and man. And those who once threw their heads and spilled their blood for the future of this country and for their ideals have been forgotten by the world!

They became terrorists!

It has become the least "stable" factor in this country!

The war was forgotten by history and this "lovely" people!

........

On a March day, the sky of Edo was covered with goose feathers and heavy snow.

There were very few pedestrians on the road, and the passers-by were all pedestrians in a hurry, and the vehicles that came and went were also driving with fear. The world is covered in silver.

A middle-aged woman with an oil-paper umbrella was carrying a basket of things and walking on the road, looking a little thin.

Soon, she came to a cemetery full of tombstones. She had come to sweep her husband's grave.

Because of the heavy snowfall, the area is even more sparsely populated.

There is a huge cemetery, and there seems to be no one except this woman.

She looked at the dead cemetery, looking at the bare, cold tombstone in front of her, and the middle-aged woman let out a long sigh. She is not sad, because her heart is dead. She didn't shed tears, because her tears had long since dried up.

What's more, she is the eldest sister of Kabukicho, how can she shed tears?

How much of a joke to tell?

She put down the basket, gently opened the purse, and placed a few steamed buns in front of the tombstone.

"Hey, old woman. A weak voice suddenly rang in her ears.

The middle-aged woman turned her head in surprise.

I saw a young man in ragged clothes with silver hair covering his face and not being able to see clearly, leaning behind the tombstone next to him, looking half-dead.

"Can I eat that steamed bun? I'm dying of hunger. ā€

When he said this, the man's tone was indifferent, as if it was not himself who was going to starve to death, and he was not begging for food.

A strange smile appeared on the corner of the middle-aged woman's mouth, stood up, and moved out of the way.

"It's not mine, it's my old man's stuff, you ask him. ā€

"That's good, that's good. The young man stood up without hesitation, and only then did the woman realize that the other party was wearing only a dirty samurai suit in such a cold season.

The young man, who seemed to be too hungry to lose his strength, crawled towards him with one hand on the tombstone.

When he came to the tombstone, he stretched out his equally dirty hand and grabbed the steamed bun and stuffed it into his mouth.

"What did my old man say?" the woman stood to the side, her expression drifting.

"Hmm... The young man seemed to be choking on eating too quickly, but he patted his chest and continued to fight with the steamed buns, occasionally picking up the wooden bucket used to sprinkle water on the side and drinking it.

"How could a dead man answer me. The young man who finished eating the steamed buns lowered his head, his expression could not be seen clearly, but his tone was also a little faint.

.......

Nishi-Ueno, City Hall.

Harita was still lying in her chair, leisurely looking out the window at the snow.

Snowflakes were floating in the sky, and the city was hidden in a white expanse.

After a creak, the door was pushed open.

"Haruma-sama?" Minami Shin Tomoko walked in.

Qing Taitou didn't reply, "It's Zhizi, what's wrong?"

"The Edo side wants to make peace with us!"

"Heh, seeing Nishiueno getting bigger, this group of guys can't help but jump out, right?" Haruta sneered.

He really didn't have a crush on the Shogunate. Not to mention that this group of guys issued the "Abolition Sword Order" and instigated the heavens to start a war, and Uncle Ape Fei's death is also inseparable from these guys!

In particular, as an earthling with a sound mind and a perfect personality, he felt disgusted and ashamed of the shogunate's groveling to the heavens!

Without even fighting, the whole country surrendered. Say that the spies sent by your celestials are all light!

In short, out of personal feelings, he didn't want to compare with these people.

However, he still has to leave after all, and what will happen to the blood moon and Nishiueno when the time comes? This is a practical question in front of him.

The distance between Nishi-Ueno and Edo is too close, and if he leaves rashly, then Nishi-Ugano is likely to be under the common threat of the shogunate and the celestials!

Hiroyuki Murakami is steady enough, and Yuichiro is brave enough, but their prestige is not good!

It's status-determined!

Therefore, the peace talks are bound to continue!

I just don't know what price Edo is willing to pay.

"What are their conditions?" said Harita, turning.

Minami Shin Tomoko looked at the manuscript in her hand again before saying, "First of all, we are required to issue a declaration in Nishiueno to express our obedience to the rule of the shogunate, secondly, the abolition of the sword order must be strictly enforced, and finally, the army of the blood moon must.... Disband!"

At the end, Minami Shin Tomoko secretly glanced at Harita.

"Hehe~" Haruma let out an inexplicable mocking sound from her mouth.

These guys really think they're eggs.

To be honest, he was not afraid of the shogunate. The reason why the war was lost was not because of how powerful the shogunate was, but because people were soliciting sponsorship everywhere.

If it weren't for those soldiers hired by the high-level of the Celestials from the major star fields, if there were no thermal weapons made by the Celestials, Tokugawa would have hit the streets a long time ago. That group of Heavenly Dao people who hide their heads and show their tails will definitely not be pleased!

And for the time being, the attitude of the celestial side towards Nishi-Ueno and the shogunate is not to help each other. Naturally, this is not how trustworthy Sirius and the other party's allies are, but that Haruta has given a lot of conditions that they covet.

Nishi-Ueno itself is surrounded by the sea on three sides and the land on one side, and the scenery and resources are very good. And the reason why the celestials value the earth so much is that they want these things!

And, the wolf-headed monster that Haruta caught is still being held in Nishiueno.

Therefore, if the shogunate intended to take Nishiueno by force, then it could only use its own forces.

But alas, the shogunate didn't have any big troops at all! Otherwise, they wouldn't have agreed to Isao Kondo's proposal to set up a Shinsengumi!

So, don't look at the shogunate's big tone, in fact, they are also riding tigers now.

Advantage, on the side of Qingtai!

So.

"Tell those guys that peace talks, it's okay! But the conditions have to be changed, obeying the command of the shogunate is changed to cooperation, and we will unilaterally negotiate with the celestials about the abolition of the sword order, and as for the blood moon, speed up the conscription! So many samurai who have lost their swords, all of them will be recruited by me!"

After saying that, Harita turned her head and continued to look at the snow scene.

Don't say it, it's really unique to see this ancient city from above.
