Chapter 753 Qingdengs new name! [Gensuku Miju Aki Aoi Shouqing
Den Shengqing】【6300】
After the murder of Naoki Ii...that is, since the "Sakurada Gate Incident", the Zunbo Sect has tasted the benefits of "using physical means to eliminate dissidents."
From then on, the Zunban forces were particularly fond of killing people.
He killed not only officials but also ordinary people, so he was nicknamed "Tian Zhu", "doing justice for heaven".
When the Zunhuo Movement was in full swing, Kyoto was once enveloped in a bloody storm.
The so-called "Four Great Killers" headed by Hikosai Kawagami and Izo Okada became famous during this period.
It was not until the Shinsengumi stationed in Kyoto that this bad situation of "the Zunbo faction killing people at will and without restraint" was alleviated.
Once upon a time, many people in the Shinsengumi made suggestions to Qingteng: Why don't we follow the example of the Zunping faction and use the most direct and violent means to clear obstacles!
In fact, if Qingdeng also plays the tricks of "sending assassins" and "assassinations", it will definitely be a terrible nightmare for those people and forces who are hostile to Qingdeng.
After all, Aomori owns the most powerful swordsman group in Kyoto!
Swordsmen with superb skills and top strength are not uncommon.
After the "Black Ship Incident", in order to resist the incoming Westerners, "Martial Arts Fever" broke out across Japan, and a large amount of fresh blood poured into the Japanese swordsmanship community.
Not only have there been more people practicing swordsmanship, but the average level of swordsmen has also improved significantly.
Even so, swordsmen like Nagakura Shinpachi, Saito Ichi and others who have both extraordinary skills and rich practical experience are the best among the best!
Whether you have experienced actual combat and whether you have seen blood—this is a watershed for a warrior.
Once you cross this threshold, your own strength will improve dramatically!
What's more, Aoto also has two trump cards under his command, Souji and Mai Kinoshita.
Souji is the number one Shinsengumi general besides Aomori, and there is a huge gap between him and the others.
If Aomori is the TO of the Shinsengumi, then Souji is T1, and the rest are all in T2 and below, and are not qualified to be compared with the first two.
Even Serizawa, who has an arrogant personality and always behaves like "the boss of heaven, the second boss of earth, and the third boss of me", has to admit that Souji's strength is far superior to him.
Not to mention Kinoshita Mai, she is a female ninja who is proficient in movement and stealth.
In terms of assassination skills alone, I'm afraid even Qingden is not as good as her.
Imagine: If Aoto sends Souji, Kinoshita Mai, Nagakura Shinpachi and others out, and orders them to secretly kill all those who are enemies of the Shinsengumi like the "Four Great Swordsmen", what will happen?
What a sight?
It is no exaggeration to say that as long as Qingteng has that will, not many people in Kyoto can escape his "fatwa"!
Those who are against the Shinsengumi should feel fortunate that Aomori firmly rejected the "assassination plan" proposed by his subordinates.
Qingdeng once announced in public that he would not nod to the act of "assassination" now or in the future.
Qingdeng has always believed that if there is such an organization that is very keen on assassinations and likes to rely on assassinations to eliminate dissidents and eliminate enemies, it means that this organization is really unbearable and it has no real skills.
Because of my incompetence, I can only rely on this low-level and despicable method to solve the problem.
The assassins of the Zunbo faction attacked everywhere, killing heads. At first glance, they looked huge.
But the question is...did their assassination really work?
Human politics is far from simple to the point where the problem can be directly solved by simply eliminating the bodies of one or two people!
Assassinating others is not only impossible to solve the problem, but may intensify conflicts and even lead to bigger problems!
Just like the "Sakuda Gate Incident" - after Ii Naobi was killed, did the shogunate end the founding of the country? Did the Zunbo faction usher in the prosperous age they wanted?
Not at all!
The murder of Ii Naomi completely intensified the conflict between the Samu faction and the Zunbo faction, directly triggering the current troubled times.
The Zunbang faction killed so many people, from officials to the elderly, weak, women and children, and they were bloody. Have they ever achieved any political goals?
Not once.
Qingdeng disdained assassination and engaged in such unflattering tactics.
If judged by the standards of a politician, Qing Teng is still a fledgling novice.
However, he always kept two principles in mind.
One of them is "Don't promote unknown teachers."
The second is "make more friends and make fewer enemies."
He believes that as long as we grasp these two basic principles, we will be able to do politics well.
All other theories and ideas are just appropriate supplements to these two principles, or are outrageous and crooked ways.
When Qingdeng was still an unknown person, he was very keen on making friends, so he had friends from all walks of life.
He will show goodwill to anyone he can make friends with and who is worth making friends with.
Whether it was Saigo Kinosuke and others jumping around, or Yamauchi Do who suddenly appeared now, Aoto was happy to socialize with them.
He treated the court in the same way.
Even though he disliked the imperial court and sincerely despised this imperial court that only knew how to make noise and could not do anything practical, Qingdeng still pinched his nose, gritted his teeth, and tried not to antagonize him.
No human being with a right mind would like a guy who is keen on assassinations.
Who can guarantee that they will not enter this person's "kill list" in the future?
Therefore, in the long run, being keen on assassinations will only greatly damage your popularity.
Don't talk about anything else, even just in terms of practicality, "Kill if you don't like it" will be thrown away by the "unfamous and unknown master".
Regardless of whether it was the previous Choshu, Tenchu Group, or the current Tosa Kinnoi Party, Qingto faced every opponent and adopted the strategy of "never take action until he has the right to send troops."
While actively accumulating strength, he secretly waits for the best opportunity to fight.
After getting the right to send troops, he immediately struck out with thunder, crushing these little creatures like a mountain of insects.
If you don't take action, that's it. Once you take action, the situation will be decided.
On the other hand, the Zunban faction has assassinated so many people, but has not achieved even the slightest political achievement worthy of praise!
To give a vivid example - the Zunbang faction's assassination operations are like pulling out human hair. Although it hurts to have body hair pulled out, it does not damage the fundamentals.
Qingdeng's method is to directly throw a heavy punch and knock down the opponent in one go.
All in all, no matter which angle you look at it, Qingdeng has no reason to favor assassins.
When engaging in politics, the right way is to be overbearing and domineering!
The so-called "assassination" is always a shady thing.
Even Takeichi Hanheita, who loves assassinations the most, never dared to nod and admit that he was the main messenger of "Human Killing Izo".
Although the person involved vehemently denied it, everyone has concluded that the birth of "People Killed to Hidden" must have been promoted by Takeshi Hanheita!
What a pity that even today, no relevant substantive evidence has been obtained.
Okada Izo is an extremely important witness, so now is not the time to send him back to the West.
As the "blade" of Takeichi Hanheita, Okada Izo must know many unspeakable secrets, especially the scandalous affairs of the Tosa Kintoi Party.
When he reveals the truth, there will be a series of evidence against Han Pingtai in Wu City.
In this way, Takechi Hanheita can be driven into the deepest part of hell, and the last row of nails can be sealed in the coffin of Tosa Kin's party.
Following Qingdeng's order, the surrounding soldiers rushed forward one after another.
Okada Izo has completely lost his will to fight.
With his mind on the verge of collapse, he was easily pinned down like a dog.
In just the blink of an eye, he turned into a "zongzi" tied with five flowers.
It was only then that Qingdeng had the time to check the talent he had just copied.
——"Yuanyang +3"...not bad.
Qingdeng slightly curved the corners of his mouth, and a happy smile appeared on his cheeks.
In this way, his "Yuan Yang" was upgraded to "+7" in one fell swoop, which was close to the full level.
Needless to say, there is no need to elaborate on the benefits of having sufficient kidney qi.
Since possessing this talent, Qingden has felt that his physical condition has improved a lot and his physical and mental condition has improved greatly.
Having a refreshing mind, full of energy, and seemingly endless energy throughout the body is one of the most practical talents.
Of course, the biggest change that this talent brings to Qingdeng is naturally... his energy in "that aspect" has greatly increased!
Before that, when he was still "Yuan Yang + 4", his excessive energy made the director very dissatisfied.
Qingdeng is a very busy man and is often too busy to keep his feet off the ground.
The Shinsengumi is like this. Souji and others only need to devote themselves to managing their respective divisions, but Seito has many things to consider.
Therefore, Qingteng could not be intimate with the general secretary anytime and anywhere.
As a result, embarrassing situations that "have been held in for a long time" often occur to him.
Fortunately for Souji, her energy in "that aspect" is only at the level of an ordinary person.
That's not the case with Qingdeng... His energy, which is far superior to that of ordinary people, always makes him feel uncomfortable because he cannot discharge it in time.
There was one day when Seito hugged Souji for the first time in a long time and worked up all his energy - that night, Souji didn't even have the strength to move a finger.
Nowadays, "Yuan Yang + 4" has become "Yuan Yang + 7"...
Qingdeng couldn't even imagine how abundant his "energy" would be now!
——It’s time to seriously plan the marriage with Sanako and the others.
Qingdeng thought to himself half jokingly, half seriously.
Although he accidentally wandered off, he quickly regained his composure.
Now is not the time to think about such things.
Qingden took a deep breath, suppressed these messy thoughts for the time being, and then began to review the battle just now.
To be honest, in his opinion, the threat posed by Okada Izo was even worse than Kawakami Hikosai.
Not to mention personal strength, even in terms of psychological quality, the former is not even worthy of carrying the latter's shoes.
After Kawagami Hikosai was suppressed, he still retained the will to fight and tried to fight back.
Comparing the two, Okada Izo's psychological quality is really terrible.
After discovering that there was a huge gap between himself and Qingden, his mentality immediately collapsed. The more he fought, the worse he became, and became more and more outrageous. In the end, he even became a trembling "ostrich".
After all, he was a powerful swordsman in Kyoto, but he ended up like this... It's really sad.
Qingdeng sheathed his sword and murmured at a volume that he could only hear clearly:
"I didn't even break a sweat...it's so boring..."
…
…
At the same time——
Somewhere in the other direction—
"Whoosh...! Whoosh...! Whoosh...! Whoosh...!"
With a knife in his hand, Takeichi Hanheita pushed aside the branches blocking the road, kicked up mud, rocks and grass clippings, and fled.
Although he just said to Okada Izo with great righteousness, "Go away and leave me alone," he finally chose to turn around and run away after seeing the other person trying to attract the Shinsengumi's attention for him.
??????????.??????
This forest is not big.
After a moment, he suddenly felt enlightened - a dazzling light appeared in front of him!
We're almost out of the woods!
Looking at the approaching light in front of him, a light of relief slowly appeared on Wushi Hanpingtai's cheeks.
However... in just a moment, his "relaxation" turned into "stiffness".
Because when he rushed out of the woods, what caught his eyes were rows after rows of light green!
Dozens of Shinsengumi soldiers waiting here were arranged in a tight formation.
The general manager, Serizawa Kamo and Niimi Nishiki stood side by side at the front of the array.
"Wu Shi Hanping Tai, let's capture him without any effort!"
Xinjian Jin pressed the knife with his hand and said in a deep voice:
"To be honest, I admire you very much. If you can surrender obediently..."
Before Shinmi Nishiki finished speaking, he was interrupted by Serizawa Kamo on the side:
"Jin, don't talk nonsense to him!"
Serizawa Kamo put the knife on his shoulder and tilted his head:
"Boy, surrender quickly! Don't waste our time!"
"..."
The director-general did not speak.
She just silently pulled out the Kaga Kiyomitsu from her waist, ready to fight at any time.
"..."
The person who also didn't say anything was Takeshi Hanheita.
He had a sullen face, pursed his lips, and while adjusting his breathing, he rolled his eyes and glanced sideways at the General Secretary and others who were blocking his way.
After a while, he slowly held the knife in front of him and assumed the upper position.
The upper section - a posture that only focuses on offense and does not care about defense.
He gave a firm answer with silent movements.
At this point, the General Secretary and others no longer hesitated.
It was too late, but soon, Souji, Serizawa Kamo and Shinami Nishiki rushed forward!
Justice three against one!
Wushi Hanpingta stepped forward to meet him without fear.
Although his struggle was heroic, it could not change the already destined outcome.
The first person to be killed was the chief.
The Souji came forward with force, his movements were like flowing clouds and flowing water, and the blade he swung out diagonally struck Takeshi Hanheita's wrist like lightning.
Takeshi Hanheita used a fierce force to deflect this move.
Souji took advantage of the situation and rushed forward. The two of them passed each other and exchanged positions.
In the next breath, the swords in their hands turned back one step ahead of their bodies - the two swords clashed again.
The sound of gold and iron is deafening.
At this time, Serizawa Kamo and Niimi Nishiki arrived one after another and joined the battle.
The three of them each occupied a corner, forming an equilateral triangle, surrounding Takeshi Hanpingtai in the middle.
For a moment, the light and shadow of swords danced between heaven and earth.
Takeichi Hanheita is indeed a top swordsman who surpasses Tosa in strength.
Being in a desperate situation with one against three, he actually resisted for a while!
Regarding his skill and perseverance, even Serizawa, who always had a bad mouth, couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
But it's a pity... In the face of such a one-sided and unfavorable battle situation, he can only resist "for a while".
After countless battles, Wushi Banpingtai was clearly at a disadvantage.
The three men's offensive gained momentum, and he was soon suppressed.
Anyone can see that if he continues like this, he will be defeated before long.
Wu Shi Banping gritted his teeth and thought: Either way, he will die, so it is better to risk it all!
As soon as he thought about this, he immediately decided to switch from defense to offense!
He saw that Shinmi Nishiki was the weakest, so he planned to use this as a breakthrough.
I saw him raising the tip of the knife and switching to Qingyan's posture in one breath.
At the moment when his midsection changed to blue eyes, his sword briefly left the midline of his body - this fleeting flaw was clearly reflected in Souji's eyes!
The general secretary saw it correctly, stepped forward, and slashed with his sword without hesitation——
Buzz!
Kaga Kiyomitsu drew a beautiful arc in mid-air, hitting the blade of Takeichi Hanheita's sword.
The blade and back of the katana can withstand a lot of force, but the blade surface is very fragile.
Once the blade surface receives a heavy blow, it is easily damaged and broken.
So, as expected - with a crisp sound - Takeshi Hanheita's saber broke into two pieces.
The upper half of the broken blade flew out laterally and fell into the ditch not far away.
The General Division's offensive is not over yet.
After breaking the knife with one blow, she pulled Kaga Kiyomitsu back and slapped Takeichi Hanheita's cheek with the blade of the knife.
This is a big piece of iron.
Being hit in the face by such a hard and thick thing... the feeling will definitely not be pleasant.
Wushi Hanpingta screamed in pain and immediately fell to the ground.
Half of his cheeks swelled up at a speed visible to the naked eye.
He seemed to still want to get up.
But after struggling for a few times, he was finally defeated by the dizziness that hit his brain.
His eyelids lowered little by little - at the moment when he closed his eyes completely, a strong unwillingness burst out from his eyes.
Seeing that the other party finally lost consciousness, the commander-in-chief let out a long breath, then turned to look at his subordinates not far away.
"Tell Tachibana-kun that we have successfully captured Hanheita Takeichi."
…
…
In less than half a day, the "Tosa Kinou Party" completely became a historical term that was eliminated.
The top leaders of the organization, headed by Takeshi Hanheita, were all wiped out, and no one survived.
Seito packed them into a truck and sent them to Tosa Domain immediately.
The Shinsengumi's full help soon received a positive response from Yamauchi-do.
He reciprocates kindness in a very polite way.
Not only did he promise that "he will provide generous rewards," but he also expressed very warmly: We Tosa will be the forever friends of the Shinsengumi!
Qingnobo didn't take it to heart about Yamauchido's slightly disgusting words.
What an old fox like Yamauchi Do is best at is telling lies with his eyes open.
However, Qingdeng was not disgusted by this.
He is not afraid of dealing with shrewd politicians because their behavior is traceable.
As soon as the Tosa Kinou Party and the Qinghe Party were destroyed, the "mole" whom Aoto had bribed—Tori Taro Ikeda—came to look for Aoto impatiently.
His purpose is very simple, that is, he hopes Qingdeng can fulfill his promise.
A reward of twelve thousand taels of gold, and a household registration in Nagasaki - it was for these two things that he would "jump" to the Seito camp regardless of his own safety.
When he found Qingdeng, his expression was very nervous.
It seemed that he was afraid that Qingdeng would cross the river and burn the bridge.
It's normal for him to have such concerns.
With the destruction of Tosa Kinou Party and Qinghe Party, he has no use value anymore.
Under such circumstances, it would not be surprising even if he was killed and silenced.
However, it was obvious that he was overly worried.
First of all, Qingdeng hates assassinations. He only likes to kill people openly.
Secondly, I won’t go back on my promise on such a trivial matter.
Moreover, Tortaro Ikeda has indeed made significant contributions.
It was precisely because of his presence that the Shinsengumi was able to annihilate the Qinghe Party and the Tosa Kinou Party within one day.
Such meritorious officials should not be treated poorly, both emotionally and rationally.
Qingdeng immediately fulfilled his promise.
He readily handed over the reward of twelve thousand taels of gold, and at the same time obtained a Nagasaki household registration for him.
After Tortaro Ikeda got the money, he immediately rushed to Shimabara to redeem the life of the wandering girl he fell in love with.
Afterwards, he and the wandering girl rushed to Nagasaki non-stop, not daring to stay in Kyoto for a long time - probably because he was afraid of encountering "old friends".
In short, Qingdeng's relationship with him ended here.
Whether Tortaro Ikeda lives or dies next, whether he and the wandering girl can live a peaceful and happy life...all of this is none of his business.
Never seeing each other again for the rest of their lives is the best connection between them.
After sending away Tori Ikeda, Qingto began to deal with the trial of the Qinghe Party.
In fact, there is nothing to deal with.
The Shinsengumi Code clearly stipulates as follows: Anyone who betrays and collaborates with the enemy will be punished on the spot!
The words are in black and white, clearly visible at a glance.
With the assistance of Toriyama Ikeda, Aoto holds a large amount of evidence that "Qinghe Hachiro intends to commit rebellion".
The evidence is overwhelming and there is nothing to investigate.
Two days later, Qinghe Hachiro and his accomplices were pushed to Sanjokawahara and beheaded in public.
Until the moment of his execution, Hachiro Kiyokawa was still shouting, "I have contributed to the Shinsengumi! Let me meet Mr. Tachibana!".
…
…
Choshu withdrew, Tosa Kin's party was gone, and Kyoto ushered in long-lost peace.
The Samu faction won a comprehensive victory, and the air of Kyoto was no longer filled with tense atmosphere.
Soon, production and life inside and outside Kyoto began to gradually recover.
In recent days, you can always see people having heated discussions in social places such as izakayas, teahouses, and bathhouses.
What they discussed was surprisingly consistent.
From Saigo Kinnosuke, Matsudaira Yongho and other big shots in the military and political circles, to ordinary people, everyone is looking forward to it - they are all waiting for the reward from the shogunate to Aonto!
What is certain at present is that Qingdeng will definitely become a famous figure in the founding of feudal states.
It would be unreasonable for him not to become a daimyo this time.
Therefore, the main concern of the big guys in the military and political circles is where Qingdeng will be entrusted and how much land he will get.
Qingdeng's enfeoffment location and the territorial scope he obtained will greatly affect the political pattern in the next few years, even decades! All parties must pay close attention to it.
Under the eager expectation of everyone...unexpectedly, the reward from the shogunate has not arrived yet, but the reward from the imperial court has come first!
On September 5, the emperor issued an imperial edict.
This imperial edict was written eloquently and eloquently with hundreds of words, and the various difficult-to-pronounce sentences would make people's tongues tangle and their heads hurt when reciting them.
To sum it up, it can be roughly summed up in one sentence - Tachibana Moriharu defeated the enemy in Yamato, clarified the inner world, and contributed to the country, so he was given the surname "Su Ni"! His official position jumped 2 levels in a row and he was promoted to An Yishou!
From now on, Qingdeng will have a brand new name——
Yuansu Niju Anyi keeps the green and prosperous!

Volume 3 is finally coming to an end!
By the time the next volume arrives, Qingdeng will almost be getting married.
Everyone should be able to tell - Baobaozi has been building momentum for Qingdeng's marriage recently~~
