I formed the strongest swordsman group

The Nine Gates of the Imperial Palace - the nine gates connecting the inside and outside of the Imperial Palace.

Imadegawa Mikado Gate in the north.

To the east are the Ishiyakushi Gate, Seikawain Gate and Teramachi Gate.

Sakai-cho Royal Gate to the south.

On the west side are the Shimotachi Gate, Hamu Gate, Nakagama Gate and Ganmomon.

In order to show that the status of all allies is equal and to express the fair attitude of "every bowl of water is equal", Qingto and others carried out precise "division" of the "nine gates of the Imperial Palace".

When the operation begins, the Shinsengumi, Aizu Army, and Satsuma Army will act separately, each blocking three imperial gates and holding on to different positions.

The Satsuma Army was responsible for blocking the Imadegawa Gate, Ishiyakushi Gate and Qinghein Gate. (The entire north side and part of the east side)

The Aizu Army was responsible for blocking the Inimikamon Gate, the Neutral Shell Gate Gate, and the Gama Gate Gate. (Most of the west side)

The Shinsengumi were responsible for blocking the Sakaicho Gate, Teramachi Gate and Shitateka Gate. (The whole south side, part of the east side and part of the west side).

Plans have been drawn up and goals have been set.

Next...let's take action!

This operation focuses on the word "fast".

According to custom, ministers would enter the imperial palace in sedan chairs every morning, which is commonly known as "going to court."

Therefore, we must hurry up and send troops quickly under the cover of night before Zun Huo sends his ministers into the imperial palace! Block the "Nine Gates of the Royal Palace"! Isolate the Changzhou people and the ministers from the Zunbo faction! Don't give them time to react!

The ministers had the privilege of freely entering the imperial palace.

If they were not expelled before they entered the imperial palace, they would most likely break the jar and forcibly abduct the emperor.

By then, it will be difficult to handle.

If you want to achieve unexpected results, "bullying the enemy" is essential.

In order to prevent intelligence leakage, Aoto, Matsudaira Yongho and Saigo Kinosuke all took intelligence control to the extreme!

Except for themselves, the generals under his command knew nothing about the upcoming war.

Take the Shinsengumi as an example - Toshizo Hijikata, Keisuke Yamanan and Isamu Kondo, who are Aoto's right-hand men, were also kept in the dark.

On this basis, Qingdeng and others adopted various means to further paralyze the Zunbang faction.

They always acted calm and nonchalant.

In recent days, the daily activities of the Shinsengumi, Aizu Army and Satsuma Army have been as usual.

Train when you need to train, eat when you need to eat, patrol when you need to patrol, and do what you need to do.

At first glance, nothing out of the ordinary can be found, everything is calm.

No one must have thought that the shogunate, Aizu and Satsuma had secretly formed an alliance! The minions are being tested and are eager to attack!

On August 13, the imperial court officially issued an edict consecrating Yamato, confirming that the emperor would congratulate Yamato.

As soon as the news came out, people inside and outside Kyoto were even more panicked.

Prior to this, although rumors of "Yamato's luck" were widely circulated, there was no official confirmation.

And now, the imperial court has issued the edict in person... which shows that this is a done deal!

So, the follow-up content of this rumor - kidnapping the emperor and burning the imperial palace - could it also be true?

Qingdeng and others, who already knew the inside story, knew that this edict must be the work of the ministers of the Zunbo faction headed by Sanjo Sanimi.

At this point, Qingdeng and others ignored all the disturbances from the outside world and acted slowly and step by step.

Let these random rumors continue to spread.

Let Changzhou Renhe and Zunxang send their ministers to continue dancing and making noise!

Anyway, by August 18th, everything will be settled!

…

…

Wenjiu three years (1863), August 17, night——

Gyeonggi, Yamato area, Gojo Town (the territory directly under the shogunate)——

The weather is very bad tonight.

Those low, dark clouds covered the sky.

The sky was like an overturned ink pool, obliterating the bright moon and stars, wrapping the earth in darkness.

At this moment, the Gojo Daikan Office - simply put, it can be understood as the grassroots government of Gojo Town - is still brightly lit.

In the agency office, officials were rushing back and forth, dealing with the volumes of documents and bundles of scrolls piled on their desks.

At this moment, black shadows suddenly emerged one after another in the wilderness somewhere outside Gojo Town! The quantity is around 100!

Taking a closer look, these black figures turned out to be real people.

If we could describe this group of people in one word, it would be "chaos"!

Some people are well-dressed.

Some people were dressed in rags.

Some people already have two hairs on their temples.

Some people are in their prime years.

Some people are fully armed, with swords, spears, chainmail, and forehead protectors.

Some people only carry a hilt or a simple bamboo spear.

Different ages, different equipment...explain what "mix and match" is, presenting a messy picture.

However, although their appearance and weapons and equipment are very different, they have one thing in common - they all have a fierce light in their eyes! Swish, swish, and glare fiercely at Gojo Town not far away!

A rugged man with dark skin stood in front of the team.

Judging from his appearance, this person should be 30 years old.

He held the sword at his waist, with no sadness or joy on his face, and looked straight at Gojo Town.

At this time, a young warrior walked quickly to the side of the rugged man and said:

"Yoshimura-kun, everything is ready! You can attack at any time!"

The rugged man called "Yoshimura-kun" nodded solemnly.

"Good... attack!"

…

…

Gojo Town, Gojo Agency——

Suzuki Gennai bowed his head in front of the case and gave instructions meticulously.

As the acting official of Gojo Town, although he has not made outstanding political achievements, he has never made any mistakes, and has neither merit nor fault.

These days, an official with no merits and demerits is considered a rare good official.

He was concentrating on his work... Suddenly, he heard a noise coming from outside.

"what happened?"

He put down the brush in his hand and whispered softly.

It was five o'clock in the evening (8 p.m.).

Gojo Town is not a bustling town. If measured by modern standards, it is just a small town.

Logically speaking, it was already this time, and everything inside and outside Gojo Town should be completely silent.

Before he could get up and go out to check, fierce shouts and shrill screams penetrated his ears!

"Tianchu!"

"Help! Help! Ahhhhhhhh-!"

"Tianchu!"

"Spare your life! Spare your life! I'm just a servant who brings tea and water! I'm just a servant! Ugh...!"

"Tianchu!"

"Heavenly Punishment!!"

"Heavenly Punishment!!!"

…

A louder "Tenchu" sound caused all the blood on Suzuki Gennai's face to drain out.

He grabbed the saber on the knife stand next to him and rushed out of the room in one stride.

As soon as he opened the door, the pungent smell of blood hit him.

Upon entering his eyes, cold light and death intertwined.

The person who is being hunted.

The hunted person.

Ferocious facial features.

Painful crying face.

The fishy wind, pillars of blood, mutilated limbs, corpses... Daiguan felt like he was trapped in the depths of eighteen layers of hell!

"W-what's going on...? What's going on...? What's going on...?"

Suzuki Gennai's expression was dominated by shock and surprise, like a sleepwalker.

The horrifying picture full of visual impact caused his brain to shut down briefly.

He kept repeating "What's going on" like a broken tape recorder.

Not long after, an excited roar brought his mind back to reality.

"Found it! It's Gennai Suzuki, the acting official of Gojo Town!"

"Kill! Kill him! Kill him!"

"Take his life!"

"Tianchu!"

In an instant, Suzuki Gennai's body shook several times.

In the next breath, just like a conditioned reflex, he turned around and ran away. He didn't even bother to put on his shoes and ran away in a hurry. He only regretted that his parents had given him a pair of wings.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

He ran to a deserted place.

He ran away from the cold light and death.

The so-called "escape" is nothing more than that.

Along the way, the sound of rapid footsteps always stuck behind him, making him unable to get rid of him.

At this time, Suzuki Gennai suddenly saw the "shadow" on the roadside in front of him squirming strangely - a strong figure suddenly walked out of the diagonal thorn, blocking his way with a step.

Chonk, bang, bang, bang... The dark, strong man drew the sword in his hand and said in a cold voice:

"Gojo Town Acting Official... no, the lackey of the shogunate, accept your fate!"

Seeing that the dark burly man was trying to deal with Suzuki Genai personally, those who were following him consciously stopped and retreated to make room for the fight.

There was a wolf in front of him and a tiger behind him... Suzuki Gennai had to stop and draw his sword.

Rather than pulling out a knife, it is better to say that it is pulling out a "live fish" - the knife is beating violently in his palm, as if it will jump to the ground at any time.

Seeing this, the strong black man spread his legs leisurely and assumed an upper stance.

"Leader of the Tenchu ​​Group"

"Tatsuro Yoshimura!"

Suzuki Gennai didn't have the leisure to report home to the other party.

He swallowed hard and forced himself to calm down:

"Who are you?! What do you want to do?! Do you want to rebel?!"

The swarthy, muscular man...that is, Torataro Yoshimura, responded without thinking:

"That's right! We are the Tenchu ​​team! We vow to repel the Yi Di! Annihilate the shogunate who is trying to steal everything! Tenchu!"

After saying that, Yoshimura Tontaro lowered his waist significantly, and then jumped up like a spring.

The distance between the two instantly narrowed!

Taking advantage of the momentum of the fall, Yoshimura Tontaro struck down the knife raised above his head with all his strength.

A silver thread splashed down!

Looking at the rapidly approaching blade, Suzuki Gennai's pupils suddenly shrank to the size of a pinhole.

His body moved subconsciously... He raised his knife to block it.

He rarely practices swordsmanship.

His swordsmanship level...is inferior to even that of a beginner.

Under the control of fear, his limbs were shaking more and more violently.

Lift your chin high, push your right knee forward, but forget about your waist.

Although he raised the knife above his head, only his arms could exert force, and his waist and legs were incredibly weak.

Viewed from a third person's perspective, it's a completely ridiculous posture.

This posture, which can't even be called "defensive", has no chance of receiving a heavy blow from Yoshimura Torataro.

With a clang, the two knives collided in the air.

Suzuki Gennai's knife was directly bounced away.

Yoshimura Tontaro's sword continued to slash at Suzuki Gennai's neck.

Crack!

A big head with wide eyes rose into the sky, and then fell heavily.

Yoshimura Tontaro walked towards the fallen head, lifted it up with one hand, and showed it to his companions.

"I have asked for the acting official of Gojo Town!"

…

…

1 hour later——

The Gojo Agency was soaked in blood inside and out.

Bodies can be seen everywhere, blood is everywhere, and there is almost no place to go.

The Gojo Daikan Office was completely bloodbathed. From the Daikan Suzuki Gennai to the common servants sweeping the floors and wiping tables, no one was spared.

On the other hand, the Tenchu ​​team as the attacker was almost unscathed. Only two unlucky guys accidentally fell down because they ran too fast.

Using more to defeat less, being prepared to defeat unprepared, it is really unusual to achieve such results.

At this moment, the soldiers of the Tenchu ​​team gathered in an open space outside the agency.

Hundreds of pairs of eyes were looking at the same place - Torataro Yoshimura who was walking slowly to the front of the queue.

After standing still, Yoshimura Tontaro swept his eyes calmly and looked at his companions in front of him.

After a while, he said loudly and in an ups and downs tone:

"Everyone! Well done!"

"The shogunate lackeys entrenched here have been wiped out by us!"

As soon as he finished speaking, thunderous cheers rang out.

Everyone raised their arms high, shouted and shouted at the top of their lungs.

This ecstatic and impassioned posture made it look like they had just won the Sekigahara War.

Yoshimura Torataro pressed his palms together to signal for silence.

Seeing this, everyone slowly fell silent.

After the scene became clear again, Yoshimura Tontaro cleared his throat.

"Everyone listen to me!"

"The Tokugawa family has inherited the position of General of the Conquering Barbarians for generations, but what's the result? The barbarians and the barbarians fought, but they knelt before each other!"

"His Majesty the Emperor is deeply fed up with the weakness and incompetence of the shogunate!"

"His Majesty the Emperor's 'Yamato Travel' is coming!"

"Your Majesty will be able to leave Kyoto with dignity!"

"At that time, His Majesty will take this opportunity to escape to Changzhou and completely draw a clear line with the shogunate!"

"Our Tenchu ​​team will serve as the vanguard of the imperial court to fight against the shogunate! Open up territory for the imperial court!"

"Gentlemen! Tonight's battle is just the beginning!"

"Next, there will be countless battles, bitter battles and fierce battles waiting for us!"

Speaking of this, Yoshimura Tontaro paused.

He took a deep breath, exerted all his strength, and said loudly and forcefully:

"I officially announce! Starting tonight, we will officially establish the 'Imperial Government' with His Majesty the Emperor as the supreme leader!"

"Gojo Town is out of control of the shogunate! Transformed into a territory directly under the imperial court!"

"Gentlemen! Let us continue fighting!"

"Gentlemen! Let us fight for the Emperor!"

"Gentlemen! Let us fight for justice!"

"The unkind and unjust shogunate will eventually fall!"

Speaking of this, Yoshimura Torataro raised his right arm and shouted:

"Eh! Eh!"

The next moment, all the members of the Tenchu ​​team in front of him shouted in unison at the highest volume they could reach:

"Oh oh oh!!!"

…

…

A few hours later——

Wenjiu three years (1863), August 18, early morning (4 a.m.)——

Kyoto, Mibu Township, Shinsengumi camp, soldiers’ dormitory——

"Hey! Wake up! Wake up!"

"Hmm...? What are you doing...? In the middle of the night..."

"Get up! Don't sleep! Lord Nioh has issued an 'emergency call' military order! All soldiers must rush to the training ground A as quickly as possible!"

"What? 'Emergency call'? What happened? Why the rush?"

"Is this training? Or...is something big happening?"

"Who knows! Get dressed quickly! You're going late, be careful with the military law!"

Asking for a monthly ticket! Please vote for recommendation! (Leopard head crying.jpg)

That’s right! This is the famous event in Japanese history - the Tenchu ​​Group Incident! Also known as the "Yamato Rebellion". The rebel army this time is not Bao Baozi’s original creation, but a real rebel force.
