Edo Traveler - Vol 13 Chapter 51

“Are you Hashimoto Zuochi Hiromichi?”

The Fukui soldiers collapsed, visibly collapsed. The 4,000-strong army, the ice and the snow melted, collapsed to the bottom in just a few minutes, and did not form a formation.

Hashimoto Zuochi, who originally commanded the troops on the left flank of the Fukui soldiers and defended against the Changzhou soldiers, was immediately rushed to the face by his own troops. The soldiers on the left flank of the Fukui soldiers were in chaos behind them, and in front of them, there were soldiers from Changzhou rushing in like wolves like tigers.

Although it was not a landslide, the situation collapsed like a tide, but few people listened to Hashimoto Zuochi’s orders. Or a group of three or five people, or a group of more than ten people, each heading towards Kyoto, or Shanke. You can reach Otsu if you go to Yamashina, or Echizen Wakasa if you cross Lake Biwa from Otsu.

Hashimoto Zuo Nei, who was on the horse, scolded a few words angrily, but the army had no will to fight, and the troops kept running. In the end, there was really no other way but to hug the horse’s neck and flee to the capital.

After all, Kyoto is the capital of a country that was established a thousand years ago. Mastering the capital also means capturing the world. Just like the Warring States Period, the princes raised their troops to Luo.

To paraphrase what Saladin said to Balian in Reign of Heaven, it would be “nothing! oreverything!”.

The city itself is nothing but a dead mass of brick, stone and wood. But he is the king of the country. Only when he owns the capital can he truly master the country’s major affairs.

It is not completely unacceptable to ask the shogunate to forgive the Fukui domain under the negotiation conditions of Kyoto, or to submit and submit, Matsudaira Keiyong to resign and to choose a new governor to take over the Fukui domain.

As for Hashimoto Zuochi himself, I am afraid he will be cut to the stomach.

Hate only hate, Changzhou Maori respects his relatives, his face is broad and square, and his words are passionate, as if he really respects the king. As a result, on the battlefield, this person was the first to defect, causing the troops to panic and defeat them. Such a great hatred and hatred, even in this life, in the next three lives, it is hard to forget. It is necessary to eat its flesh and sleep its skin to relieve the hatred in one’s heart.

At this moment, the soldiers from Changzhou came in and saw a general on horseback, wrapped in the crowd. The soldiers on the left and right were unparalleled in excitement, and Yoshida Songyin clearly stated that the person who captured Songping Qingyong would be rewarded with a thousand taels of money, and he would be on the big team.

The soldiers of Changzhou, who wouldn’t want to get this great achievement and achieve wealth for generations.

More than a dozen Changzhou soldiers pushed aside the crowd and shot the warhorse under Hashimoto’s left inner crotch. The warhorse jumped in response, and then fell heavily to the ground. The crowd then captured Hashimoto Zuo Nei, who was off the horse, before disbanding the army.

“…” Hashimoto Zuoune looked up at Wang Chuemon, but did not answer.

“It’s really Hashimoto.” Jiang Chuan Yingmin and Hashimoto Zuoui were classmates, and they were very familiar with Ying, who stayed together.

In fact, this morning’s battle was a “civil war” between contemporaries at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst in the United Kingdom. Many of the middle and senior officers were classmates, and some of them had a good private relationship.

“Since it is Hashimoto, push it out and report the beheading.” Chuemon looked at Hashimoto’s appearance, and knew that this man was unlikely to surrender.

Since it is impossible to surrender, why keep it? Keep it until he continues to rebel in the future? Both Okubo Toshinori and Saigo Takamori were chopped into innumerable pieces, and they didn’t see anything. Even cutting Iwakura Yuki earlier, the shogunate saved a lot of trouble. At least there was no fake Imperial Pennant that appeared on the Fushimi battlefield.

“Shangqi, Zuo Nei only learns, not inferior to ministers…” Jiang Chuan Yingmin opened his mouth to persuade, meaning to give it to me first, persuasion and persuasion, it is also a good thing to be able to surrender.

After all, the junior officers and the shogunate have established a non-commissioned officer school these days, which can be gradually cultivated. Middle and senior officers with a modern perspective are still lacking. Hashimoto Zuochi, who can lead a crowd of 5,000 people in a dignified and upright manner, is indeed a bit of a skill, and it is a pity to kill him.

“Well?” Chuyouemon stopped his horse and signaled to give you a few words of time to persuade him. If he can persuade him to surrender, it is not impossible for him to be assigned to you as a staff officer.

Jiang Chuan Yingmin immediately jumped off the horse and talked to Hashimoto Zuo Nai. Hashimoto Zuouchi remained silent as usual, never speaking. After speaking for two or three minutes, Chuemon coughed lightly, signaling Jiang Chuan Yingmin to take a break.

“The loyal minister does not serve the second master, and Tarozaemon doesn’t need to persuade him any more.” Hashimoto Zuochi was also stubborn, and he still refused.

In this case, Jiang Chuan Yingmin can only say a pity, watching the soldiers lead the people to the back of the battle. There must be more than this one to be beheaded, many of the Fukui Domain’s captives will be executed. Raise unrighteous soldiers and fight against the shogunate master. If you don’t even kill people, then the shogunate will have no authority. How good is it to open a good hall.

“Marquis Fukui hasn’t been found yet?” Chuemon didn’t say much, just asked Matsudaira Keiyong’s whereabouts.

After all, the Fukui soldiers were destroyed. According to the previous plan, the shogunate and the Changzhou soldiers would work together to exterminate the Fukui clan, kill and kill the feudal lords in the world, and then announce the abolition of the clan and the county. com membership is returned. If Matsudaira Keiyong escaped back to Fukui, and the cage city was defended, the shogunate would inevitably suffer casualties.

Chuanxi soldiers are all treasures of the shogunate.

“No!” Zhu Liu, who was recording the military’s achievements and gains, shook his head.

“Be sure to capture this beast, and it must not be returned to the country.” Chuyouemon slapped the horse.

Before the horse could go far, he saw Takasugi Jinzuo in Changzhou military uniform shouting loudly all the way and running quickly. Chuemon saw that it was Takasugi Shinsaku, and only ordered someone to show him in front of him and ask him carefully.

“I report to you, Fukui Keiyong, has been captured by our special forces and is coming!” Takasugi Jinzuo’s face was dirty, not knowing whether it was blood or mud, but he couldn’t hide the excitement on his face.

“Sure!” The left and right, including Chuemon, exclaimed.

“That’s natural!” Takasugi Jinzuo raised his chest and raised his head in a dignified manner.

In this combined battle, two great achievements were exclusively owned by the Changzhou soldiers, and he naturally had the capital to be proud of. After all, the soldiers from Changzhou were the first anyway, and it was also the soldiers from Changzhou who won Songping Qingyong.

hum…

He quickly followed Takasugi Jinsuo left and right, and before he walked 500 meters, he saw an ox cart pulling two people over. One person is naturally Matsudaira Qingyong, and everyone here knows it. There is another one, which is somewhat similar to the Hashimoto Zuochi that was just launched.

When asked, it turned out to be Hashimoto Tsunai’s younger brother, Hashimoto Tsunatsu. Acting as Songping Qingyong’s little surname, guarding Songping Qingyong’s journey. Those who ran together were naturally caught together, but also in pairs.

“I don’t like Yu and Fukui Marquis, seeing each other again, it’s actually like this.” Chuyouemon looked coldly.
