Chapter 769 We want to marry Ju Qingden together!4500
Kinoshita Mai: "Miss Chiba?!"
Souji: "Miss Chiba, where are you taking us?"
The two girls, who were grabbed by their collars by Sanako, looked like little kittens held by the back of their necks by a female cat.
Sanako's "merciless iron claws" and her sudden dragging naturally puzzled the two girls.
Facing the two women's repeated questioning, Sanako had only one attitude - ignore.
Apart from that decisive look, there was no expression on her face, and she exuded an astonishing aura.
She just dragged the two girls hard and stepped on the floor with a "dong dong dong" sound, not knowing where they were going.
With their interesting height difference, they look like an eagle catching a chick.
Let me put it aside, Kinoshita Mai is completely capable of getting rid of Sanako's control due to Souji's outstanding ability as "the number one general of the Shinsengumi".
But... I don’t know why, facing Sanako who was full of a different kind of "deterrence", Souji had a feeling similar to "bloodline suppression" and could not think of any idea of resisting the opponent.
…
At this moment, a leisurely figure appeared in front of them - Assistant Harada Sano was holding a bag of fragrant grilled squid, and his mouth was full of oil as he ate it.
After discovering Harada Sanosuke, Sanako quickly took a lunge and ran to the opponent without saying a word.
"Harada-kun!"
Harada Sanosuke hit a few hard punches.
Sanako's "flash" and her strange appearance of "dragging a girl with one hand" at this moment are hard not to shock people.
Harada Sanosuke, who almost choked, beat his chest hard, swallowed the grilled squid stuck in his esophagus with difficulty, and looked up and down at Sanako and the others with a look of surprise.
"Qian, Miss Qianye? What... is wrong with you?"
Sanako didn't respond and asked simply:
"Harada-kun, you came just in time. Do you know where Tachibana-kun is now?"
"Mr. Tachibana? He is currently watching the training of the Sixth Division and the Eighth Division at the Training Ground A."
"Training Ground No. A... Very good. This way, it will save me trouble!"
After that, Sanako took another step, continued to drag the two girls, and left like the wind.
Harada Sanosuke stood frozen on the spot, not even bothering to eat the grilled squid, staring blankly at the backs of Sanako and others getting further and further away.
"So...what is going on...?"
…
…
Shinsengumi Camp, Training Ground No. A——
On the general stage, Qing Deng stood with his hands behind his back.
The captains of the 6th and 8th squads... namely Genzaburo Inoue and Heisuke Toudo, were waiting quietly on his left and right respectively.
Under the general's platform, the soldiers of the 6th and 8th divisions were arranged in two neat square formations.
Looking around, all the soldiers in the array were sweating profusely and panting.
It is not difficult to see that they have just experienced extremely intense training.
Now, Qingdeng has a territory and a more stable and broad financial source.
Money emboldens people - he officially put the plan of "forming an artillery unit" that had been shelved until now on the agenda.
Although there are currently many places to spend money, this does not prevent him from taking precautions for a rainy day.
Next, he plans to expand the size of the sixth and eighth divisions.
The two teams will be expanded from the existing 450 to 750 people, with a total of 1,500 people in the two teams.
While expanding the army, transform them into musketeers.
The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd divisions are elite troops specializing in dashing and street fighting, and they are all tough men.
To have the soldiers of these three divisions stop using swords and use guns instead would be overkill.
The Fourth Division, led by the strong man Serizawa Kamo, has a strong combat capability that is not inferior to that of the First, Second, and Third Divisions. It is also not suitable for transformation into a musketeer unit.
The captain of the fifth division is Shinami Nishiki. After all, he is not a direct descendant of Aoshito (the Shoeikan faction). Aoshito has no intention of entrusting the important musketeers to outsiders.
The seventh and tenth divisions are cavalry divisions.
Division 9 is a ninja force.
Therefore, in summary, the only troops that are most suitable for transformation are the 6th and 8th divisions led by Gensaburo Inoue and Heisuke Toudou.
In today's era, "line tactics" are very popular.
The so-called "line tactics" are commonly known as "queuing to shoot".
Due to lagging performance, the current mainstream muskets have very poor hit rates.
If it was a close target, that would be fine.
But for a target 10 meters away, whether you can hit it all depends on luck.
As long as the distance is far enough, even if the two gunmen stand and shoot at each other, they may run out of bullets, but both sides will still be safe.
Therefore, in order to ensure the accuracy of their guns, the gunmen could only form a tight and neat queue, and, accompanied by the sound of high-spirited military drums, walked slowly towards the enemy's position with neat steps.
If the opponent also uses "line tactics", then the opponent will also line up in formation, step on the beat, and walk slowly.
When the distance is close, raise your guns and shoot at each other.
Whichever side's gun array cannot hold on anymore and collapses first, will lose.
This tactic seems silly, but it is the most advanced and terrifying tactic nowadays.
In the past hundred years, why have the military fronts of the Western powers been so invincible?
Not only are they invincible on the ocean, they are also invincible on land.
What stands behind "line tactics" is discipline that is extremely difficult to achieve in classical armies.
Even if he is about to hit the muzzle of the enemy's gun, even if his comrades around him have fallen, he will not retreat rashly.
This discipline alone is enough to make them invincible on the battlefield.
Whether it was the Mamluk cavalry or the "invincible" Eight Banners force, they were all defeated in the face of the "line tactics" of the Western powers. They were truly invincible in the world.
If you want to practice "line tactics", you don't need a strong body, but you need the iron discipline of "if you are told to go up the mountain of knives, you have to go up the mountain of knives; if you are told to go down to the sea of fire, you have to go to the sea of fire".
!
Qingto was just testing the discipline of teams six and eight.
Test content includes but is not limited to: forming an array, walking in unison...
Overall, the performance of the members of the 6th and 8th divisions was not satisfactory.
Thanks to the long-term military posture training, all the soldiers are good at standing and arraying.
——Next...it's time to look for ways to purchase guns...
Qingdeng can currently think of only two channels for purchasing guns.
One is to go directly to the shogunate and ask the shogunate to help contact France.
In order to expand its influence in the Far East, France extended an olive branch to the shogunate.
It just so happened that the shogunate was also eager to introduce advanced weapons and military systems from the West.
In this way, the two parties "agreed with each other" and got closer and closer.
However... unless it is absolutely necessary, Qingdeng does not want to contact France.
The reason is that the French basically treat them as the ones they take advantage of!
They took advantage of the "Japan's lack of military industry" problem, so they raised the price of guns extremely high, and the premium was very serious.
An ordinary flintlock gun can be sold for several taels of gold, which is simply outrageous.
As for the second one, it is to find Calabash House.
No matter what, Huluwu is a business group with profound foundation.
If they said they had no contact with overseas, Qingdeng would never believe it.
Western arms dealers in the 19th century were not ordinary people with great powers!
Not to mention ordinary guns and cannons, as long as you can afford the money, they can even sell you sail warships!
All in all, this route is worth trying!
——When we meet Ah Wu’s grandma later, besides discussing the investment plan, we should also talk to her in detail about the purchase of guns...
??????55.??????
At this moment when Qingdeng was thinking to himself——
"Eh? Miss Chiba?"
Next to him, Genzaburo Inoue suddenly exclaimed.
Upon hearing this, Qingdeng subconsciously turned his head to look - the next moment, his expression was dominated by strong surprise.
"Sanako, Amu, Souji, you, you... what are you doing?"
Sanako took three steps at a time and climbed up to the general platform.
Everyone on and off the stage saw her graceful figure and her strange posture of "a strong woman is in trouble".
Her unique look of "dragging Kinoshita Mai with her left hand and dragging Souji with her right hand" shocked the entire audience as soon as she appeared on the stage.
At this moment, both Kinoshita Mai and Souji looked numb and at a loss.
"Sanako, what are you doing?"
Qingdeng asked again.
Anyone with long eyes can tell that Sanako is different from usual.
Although it was just a personal intuition, Qingdeng always felt that something terrible was going to happen next...
Sanako didn't pay attention to Qingden's question.
She put down Mai Kinoshita and Souji in her hands, letting them sit down on the ground, then walked straight towards Aomori and stood in front of him.
The distance between the two parties was so close that Qingdeng could not only count each other's eyelashes one by one, but also clearly feel the other's warm breath.
Their eyes faced each other, with completely different emotions dancing in them... Qingto's side was "baffled and confused", while Sanako's side was "unspeakably complicated".
Then, he heard her talking to herself, her tone was half shy and half bold:
"Alas... At this point, there is no way out...!"
After finishing her words, she gritted her teeth and slowly turned around, facing the bottom of the general ordering platform, facing the nearly a thousand soldiers of the 6th and 8th divisions.
"I am the captain of the 7th Division of the Shinsengumi Batto Squadron, Sanako Chiba."
"As well as Mai Kinoshita, captain of the 9th Division of the Shinsengumi Batto Squadron, and Okita Souji, captain of the 1st Division of the Shinsengumi Batto Squadron."
Having said this, Sanako paused.
She took a deep breath, as if she was gathering emotion and strength.
At this time, Kinoshita Mai and Souji were still slumped on the ground and had not yet gotten up.
The former still looked confused.
However, the latter seemed to realize what the other party was planning to do, his face turned pale, and his cheeks were filled with a look of shock.
"Miss Chiba, are you trying to..."
Before Souji finished speaking, Sanako released the accumulated emotions and power in one breath——
"The three of us are going to marry Tachibana Aoden!"
"We don't have wives and concubines, we are all Tachibana Aoden's main wife!"
"Did you all hear that clearly?"
"If you heard it clearly, go spread it quickly!"
"Tell this news to everyone in the world!"
Sanako finished speaking.
The moment she finished her words, the audience, where some murmurs had originally been heard, suddenly fell into silence.
The soldiers of the 6th and 8th divisions all stared wide-eyed and were speechless.
Of course, the silence is only temporary.
In just a moment, the noisy discussions and exclamations turned into waves of sound, spurting out vigorously like lava.
"Hey! Did you hear that?"
"I have ears, so of course I heard it!"
"Captain Chiba, Captain Kinoshita and Captain Okita are going to marry Nioh-sama together? Is it true or false?"
"That's not right! Captain Okita is a man!"
"If it's the nickname of Captain Okita being adopted as a bed warmer, then I can understand. What's the deal with getting married?"
"Generally speaking, isn't there only one head wife? Three head wives... What is this situation?"
"Who knows! I don't have much knowledge and I don't understand the twists and turns of the upper class. Maybe a big shot like Mr. Tachibana can marry more than one wife."
…
There was a lot of discussion in the audience.
Although the ordering stage was quiet, there was also a strange atmosphere.
Gensaburo Inoue and Heisuke Toudou looked at each other.
They both found the same question in each other's eyes - shouldn't we be standing here?
Not to mention Kinoshita Mai and Souji.
The two of them were completely stunned, their expressions were dull, their eyes were straight, and their whole bodies were stiff, as if they had lost control of their bodies, like clay and wood sculptures.
Qingdeng was not much better.
——What's going on?
——What happened?
——What should I do now?
He asked "three questions in a row" in his mind.
A series of sudden changes made him experience what it means to be "at a loss" and "at a loss" for the first time in a long time.
On the other hand, looking back at Sanako, who created the current situation - she actually had a happy expression on her face at this time.
She turned her back to the sky and let out a long breath.
"I feel comfortable..."
Although she talks beautifully and looks chic, judging from her image, she is far from "relaxed" and "free".
Her whole face turned pink, and her pretty face was covered with a look of shame that was visible to the naked eye.
In terms of thickness of skin, Sanako and Mai Kinoshita are completely the same, they are both very shameless and easy to be ashamed of.
Announcing the marriage in front of nearly a thousand people... this undoubtedly brought her great pressure and shame.
However, even though her face was very pink, she still held on, pretending to be "an expert" as if nothing had happened, and turned to look at Mai Kinoshita and Souji, who were still recovering from their stress.
"No, no, it's just marriage!"
"One sentence is so troublesome!"
"I hate my mother-in-law the most."
"This way, everyone no longer has to waste time and energy on such boring things!"
…
…
Shinsengumi Village, Hijikata Toshizo's office——
The "three leaders" are still writing their letter "recommending Qingdeng to get married as soon as possible" here.
It was written by Shannan Keisuke, who is proficient in calligraphy and writing.
Hijikata Toshizo and Kondo Yuichi sat beside him on the left and right, giving "literary suggestions" from time to time.
After seeing this scene, people who don't know may think that the three of them are writing love letters to the girl they like.
Suddenly, there were rapid footsteps outside the room.
Accompanying this string of footsteps was Toudo Heisuke's anxious shout:
"Mr. Hijikata! Mr. Hijikata! Something big has happened! Something big has happened!"
Hijikata Toisan frowned lightly and said immediately:
"Come in!"
Todo Heisuke impatiently opened the door and stepped inside.
Before Hijikata Toshizo could ask, he couldn't wait to say in a hurry:
"Huh? Mr. Kondo, Mr. Shannan, are you all here? That just saves trouble!"
"Just now, Miss Chiba announced in public at the training ground No. A: Miss Kinoshita, Mr. Okita, and herself, will marry Mr. Tachibana together! All three of them are married, and there will be no separation of wives and concubines!"
Toshizo Hijikata, Isamu Kondo, and Keisuke Yamanan: "...Haaaah?!"
