Kagoshima, Satsuma Naval Academy.

At present, the Satsuma Naval Corps School has been changed into the "Satsuma Army Base Battalion" and the work of reorganizing the troops has begun.

"This is the confession of the 'Tokyo Lion' who was captured alive." In the conference hall, Lin Yiqing placed pieces of paper with red fingerprints in front of Saigo Takamori, "This time they are not only trying to blow up the ammunition depot, but also to disadvantage Mr. Lin Yiqing looked at Saigo Takamori and Kirino Toshiaki Shinohara and others beside him, and said, "They also agreed on a code for action, Mr. Xiang called Mr. 'Monk' because of his flat hairstyle, and General Kirino called 'bonito' because of his bravery, and so on." ”

Saigo Takamori looked at the confession in front of him, his face was angry, and he said sharply: "Where is the Sichuan Road rebel now?" I will take the head of his head! ”

"According to our people's reconnaissance, the Kawaji rebel is now in Kumamoto, commanding the police force." Lin Yiqing replied.

"Okay, then see you on the battlefield! I hope he can act like a samurai! Saigo Takamori said hatefully.

"Before the official start of the army, the gentleman must send a telegram to the whole country, declare the crimes of Okubogawaji and other traitors, expose their disobedience, and boost morale with a straight view." Lin Yiqing reminded Saigo Takasheng Road.

"It's nature." Saigo Takamori nodded, and encouraged Lin Yiqing and the samurai, "I will do these words, and it will all depend on you to go into battle to kill the enemy." ”

"Don't worry, sir, we will not disgrace our lives." Lin Yiqing replied in a firm tone.

"Can you arrange this time at home?" Saigo Takamori looked at Lin Yiqing, who was dressed in a blue navy uniform, and thought of the brutal battle he might face this time, sighed and asked.

"Chiho is preparing at home, and she told me a long time ago that she would send troops with her husband." Lin Yiqing smiled bitterly and replied.

"What?" Hearing Lin Yiqing say that Chiho Kirino was going to follow him on the expedition, Saigo Takashi was taken aback and said hurriedly, "This ...... Absolutely not! You go back right away and let her stay! Just say it's my order! ”

"Chiho this time, I'm afraid I won't listen." Lin Yiqing sighed and shook his head.

Saigo Takamori was about to say more, when he suddenly heard the sound of a trumpet.

Saigo Takamori got up and went to the window, and when he looked out, he saw that on the flagpole in front of the playground, the original Nichijo flag was slowly lowered, and it was the "Cross Maru" military flag of the Satsuma Domain that rose again in the face of the heavy snow.

With the sound of the horn and the raising of the "Cross Maru" military flag, countless military flags with the coat of arms of the samurai family were erected on the playground, surrounding the "Cross Maru" military flag like stars holding the moon!

After receiving the mobilization order from the Satsuma military headquarters, 6,000 samurai gathered at the naval academy that day, and after seeing the Satsuma military flag, the samurai also showed their family crests according to tradition.

Saigo Takamori, who was full of excitement, turned his head to look at the samurai such as Lin Yiqing and Kirino Toshiaki, and only then did he notice that all the samurai had changed into kimonos embroidered with family crests and wore swords with family crest decorations.

At about the same time, at Lin Yiqing's house, Chiho Kirino was changing out of the kimono she wore on weekdays with the help of He Yunqing and the maids, and put on the battle armor specially designed for her by Lin Yiqing.

In order to achieve the lightest and most effective protective effect of her armor, Lin Yiqing combined traditional Japanese armor with ninja combat uniforms, and specially formulated the armor material, so that her head, chest, shoulders, abdomen, legs and various joints and other major parts are closely protected, and at the same time, it does not prevent her from moving quickly.

Of course, while reaching these destinations, Lin Yiqing did not forget to make this light armor look more beautiful......

After a short time, Chiho Kirino finished bundling her armor, and she came to the weapon rack, took her long knife, and pinned it to her waist. Then he took a revolver with a holster and tied the belt around his waist. Then pull the gun out of the holster and check it out.

"It's a man's business to fight, does my sister have to go?" He Yunqing saw the resolute look of Chiho Kirino when she checked the revolver, and she felt uneasy in her heart and couldn't help asking.

"Sister, don't forget, I'm the daughter of a samurai family."

Chiho Kirino glanced back at He Yunqing deeply, inserted the revolver back into the holster, picked up a French Grasse rifle with a bayonet on it leaning next to the weapon rack, and strode out.

"Sister, don't go, don't go......" He Yunqing's heart was sour, and after screaming, she was so choked up that she couldn't speak.

Seeing Chiho Kirino, who had saved her life, walking towards the battlefield of uncertain life and death, He Yunqing's heart was like a knife for a while, but she couldn't think of a way to stop her.

Chiho Kirino's footsteps stopped and turned her head slightly, but she seemed to be a little afraid to face He Yunqing's gaze, and finally turned her head and strode out resolutely.

Because she wants to be with her husband, father, and Uncle Saigo, whom she respects the most.

She will be with them in life and death.

Chiho Kirino and several armed maids rode into the street, and saw countless samurai appear on the street, running in the direction of the military academy with their entourage and family.

The samurai of Satsuma have long been regarded as the epitome of loyalty and bravery. They lived and died for battle, and although they rarely used cavalry and walked on their feet, they had amazing mobility. Whenever they heard the news that there was going to be war, they would pick up muskets and hang up their long knives, and rush to the battlefield like a trickle of water. Nearly three hundred years ago, this is how they followed their leader, running to Bungo and Sekigahara, to challenge Toyotomi and Tokugawa, the strongest men of the era; At this moment, they stepped on the snow again, and together with their last unwavering guardian, Saigo Takamori, they embarked on a long journey, to Kumamoto and Nagasaki, to attack the era that they had fought so hard to carve out but betrayed them, and to the Japanese Empire that they had founded with their own hands but did not belong to them.

On December 15, 9078 (the 11th year of the Meiji era in Japan, the 4th year of the Great Dry Guangxu), more than 16,000 people of the "vanguard army" of the Satsuma Army raised troops in two directions, aiming directly at Kumamoto Castle and Nagasaki Port. Shinohara Kunigan, Murata Shinhachi, Nagayama Yaichiro, Kirino Toshiaki, Nomura Shinobu, Ikegami Shiro, Beppu Shinsuke and others were divided into captains of each brigade, each with about 2,000 people, Shinohara Kunikan as the commander-in-chief of the former enemy, Hayashi Yiqing as the chief of staff, and Kirino Toshiaki as the commander of the Guards. On the 15th, Saigo Takamori galloped through a military parade to boost morale, and in the name of "the Great Governor of the New Deal to conquer the Generalissimo Saigo Yoshinosuke", he held high the banner of "New Deal Virtue", electrified the whole country, and sent troops to fight against the rebellion. The Southwest War, the largest and bloodiest civil war in Japanese history, officially began.
