In the midst of an eventful autumn, there is a cause for trouble; Disappear and disappear, and do not do the roar of the green forest! You don't have to.

Seeing this, the president of political affairs, Matsudaira Keinaga, hurriedly said: Only when the general and His Majesty the emperor join hands, can the public and military be integrated. However, the Yi people are rampant, and the Kanto region is troublesome, so I implore the general to allow his subordinates to return first, and perfunctory two or three.

Cooper Road: The vast army, don't wait; Please tell the people of the Choshu clan that within 20 days, the Shimonoseki Strait must be opened, otherwise it will be bombarded by huge artillery.

Mori Kei, the head of the Choshu domain, received the report and urgently summoned Shobu Masanosuke, Kuniji Shinano, Fukuhara Echigo, Takasugi Shinsaku, Kusaka Genrui, Ito Hirobumi, Inoue Shin, and others to discuss.

Takasugi Jinsaku and Kusaka Genrui both said: Enlighten the lord, Zhuyi is menacing, whether it is war or peace, the lord must plan early.

Maori respectfully said: If you fight, what are the odds of winning?

Jiusaka Xuanrui said: There is almost no chance of winning, but if the power of the whole country is combined, it will be able to expel Yidi.

Maori respectfully said: Can my soldiers and artillery be properly arranged?

Takasugi Jinzuodao: The lord of Qiyu, more than 2,000 people in the odd army, has been training for half a year, and has become an army; Maeda, Tanoura, and Hikoshima have also built artillery fortifications; If the ship comes to attack, it can be fired from the shore.

Inoue Xin, a priest of the Choshu domain, said: Enlighten the lord, and those who cause it must get the effect. Last year, our clan bombarded Shimonoseki and blockaded Nagasaki, and the policy of destroying the country continued to this day, and the Zhuyi hated it deeply.

Choshu Domain Priest Ito Hirobumi said: Enlighten the lord, the current situation, can no longer be said to be ruin, rather than wasting national strength, it is better to open the country and forge ahead, and restore the great government.

The help of the government servant Zhou Buzheng: The policy of rebellion has been completed, how can it be easily changed; Yi Zhi and I, thousands of miles away, the supply will not be smooth; With the strength of the whole country, great things can be accomplished.

Quickly pass on my order, the matter is urgent, imminent, Kyoto Kido Takayo, etc., must be within 20 days, but the matter of my emperor's transfer.

Takasugi Jinsaku said: Enlighten the lord, the next month is coming, whether to engage the battle or not, I implore the lord not to wander.

Maori respectfully said: The deadline for Yiren is 20 days, and I will delay it for 10 days, and within ten months, there will be great changes in Kyoto.

Kyoto government seat added the servant Kido Takashi to receive the order, and then summoned the people of Choshu, Tosa, and Higo to the three feudatories, and after several secret discussions, they finally set the day of the palace garden, burning, killing, looting, and plundering.

Seeing this, the inn guy hurriedly shouted: Respectfully the adults of the new group! The adults of the new group drink alcohol!

Before the innkeeper could speak, the lights of the inn went out.

Kondo fought a fierce spirit, and immediately took the sword to attack, and Okita Soji and others followed.

The people in the house were not only frightened, but also drew their swords to resist.

Okita stabbed three people in a row, and when he stabbed the fourth person again, blood suddenly spurted from his mouth and he collapsed to the ground.

Isamu Kondo assassinated one person, stabbed three others, and fought again, but he also felt that he lacked strength.

At the critical juncture, the deputy team leader Hijikata led more than 20 team members to join the battle group. In less than half an hour, all the people of Choshu, Tosa, and Higo were cleared.
