With forty-eight imperial tools, I just want to rely on myself

Chapter 123 Is the age of the samurai coming to an end?

"How is Heisuke's injury? Has it stabilized?"

Mibu Village, where Shinsengumi resides, Kondo, with a face that resembles a gorilla in the Chinese character, sits at his desk, and he asks Nagakura Shinyachi, who is standing not far away, with a calm face.

"Still in danger, he was hurt too badly. The doctor said it was a miracle to be alive when he was sent."

Nagakura Shinpachi's mood was a little low, and he felt that he was fully responsible for the failure of this arrest.

"Fujitang is a man of great fate. I believe he will be fine. Don't blame yourself for Shinpachi. No one would have thought that that person would have such a strong strength."

Standing next to Isamu Kondo is a man with a very handsome, mature appearance. He is the deputy head of the Shinsengumi Tokata Suizo.

The handsomeness of this man is as exquisite as a full-time actor. He is a beautiful man that no one can match among the samurai of the Bakumatsu, except Hachiro Iiwa.

At the age of three, Tufang has excellent swordsmanship and is very scheming. In the Xinseng Group, he has always served as a military instructor. Many of the Xinseng Group's precise and effective strategies are based on his planning.

Although the director of the Shinsengumi is Isamu Kondo, it is no exaggeration to say that the soul man who made the Shinsengumi grow is Tsuki San.

If Isamu Kondo is the leader of the Shinsengumi, then Tsuki San is the manipulator who actually dominates this organization.

Although Tufang Suizo left the impression of “unscrupulous means to achieve the goal”, when dealing with the team members, he also acted as a glue that glued everyone together. To the loss of Shinpachi Nagakura, the earthwork Looking at it at the age of three, naturally he will not sit idly by.

"Yes, don't blame yourself, Xinba, you can't be blamed for this."

After Kondo responded, he also comforted Nagakura Shin Bayi.

"Tell me about the "Blind Young Swordsman Zatoichi". You said he also has a powerful firearm that can be easily carried? Can you see what kind of weapon it is?"

As a strategist, Tufang Suizan was very keenly aware of what Nagakura Shinba had reported before. He was not interested in how good the swordsmanship of the "Zato City" was. On the contrary, he was interested in that person. The special weapon exposed has some ideas.

"I didn't see clearly. That weapon is very concealed, but its power is huge, and his hit rate is also very high. It basically has no bullets. None of the team members who were shot survived. The situation is very tragic."

Nagakura Shinpachi’s face was ugly, and he was obviously thinking of the horrible scene again. They hadn’t seen firearms before, but firearms with such terrifying power were beyond their imagination.

"..."

Isamu Kondo and Tsukata Suizan were silent, and there was a very bad idea slowly emerging in their hearts. If the "Zatoshi" belonged to the Changshu Clan, does that mean that the Changshu Clan had already mastered that? Where is the scary firearm?

If it was really like that, it would definitely be a devastating blow to the shogunate, because the firearms and cannons that the shogunate bought from the "barbarians" obviously did not have that power.

"This is impossible! The relationship between the Changzhou clan and the barbarians is not good. If the shogunate can't buy that kind of firearm, they are even less likely to get it. It must be something else."

Kondo categorically denied that kind of speculation. His statement made sense, because the Changshu clan of the "respecting the king against the barbarians" is now the real "respecting the king against barbarians" and their relationship with those "barbarians" is hostile. .

Nowadays, firearms are not popular in Japan, and even the real army is only equipped with very few. It is still the age of samurai, but it is conceivable that with the influx of more firearms, the samurai class gradually Will still withdraw from the stage of history.

Tufang Suishan understood this very well, but he still didn't want to believe that there were firearms like that now. He felt that the age of samurai should be longer.

"Pay pensions to the seven team members who died in battle, don't let everyone chill."

Although Tufang Suishan was still emotional in his heart, he did not forget what he should do.

"Yes."

Nagakura Shinpachi responded, of course he would not forget such things.

"I've issued an order to search for the whereabouts of the blind Zatoshi in Kyoto. I will report to Master Matsudaira Yoho, asking him to list the blind Zatoshi as a national wanted criminal. We must catch him and chop off his head! "

Seeing that Nagakura Shinpachi was about to leave, Kondo said this suddenly, which made Nagakura Shinpachi be surprised, but then he nodded in ecstasy, which was exactly what he wanted.

"Yes!"

Nagakura Shinbachi responded loudly, and then he walked out quickly, apparently he couldn't wait to continue tracing the whereabouts of "Zato City" in order to avenge the brothers who died in battle.

Tufang Sui San looked at Kondo, but he actually felt that this approach was not particularly necessary. After all, the strength of the "blind Zatou City" was so unfathomable that they should try to avoid being enemies with each other.

"Recently, there are more and more samurai in Kyoto with suspicious identities. The Choshu clan and the "respecting the barbarians" of each clan seem to want to make a big move. We need to increase the search and try to catch several big fish.

After Nagakura Shinpachi walked out, Kondo said this to Mufang Seizan, which made Mufang Seizan breathe a sigh of relief, because this was their original plan, and what "blind Zatoichi" was originally not in their plan. Within.

"It seems that those words just now are just talking, Kondo has also started to become a little smarter."

Tufang Suishan was relieved that Jin Tengyong was smarter, which would definitely be a good thing for him, which would save him a lot of energy.

And almost changed the plan of Shinsengumi, the initiator of the Ikedaya Incident, "Zato City", had already left Kyoto silently at this time.

People in this era, if there is no official order from the shogunate, are forbidden to leave their respective domains. Even if you are not a feudal vassal, just ordinary people will not do, or that is even more impossible.

Therefore, when the floating population is very small, it is not easy to get out of the city itself, but after getting out of the city, the sky is high and the birds are flying, and the sea is wide.

After all, there are no serious people in this wilderness except for the mobs, bandits, bandits and the like who can't get involved.

Ling Ze wore a red and white samurai uniform, with a hat on his head, and a black cloth belt tied to his eyes. A samurai sword and a rib was inserted between his waist and he held it in his hand. With a red walking stick, he looked like a blind wanderer.

The red and white samurai clothes were previously obtained from Himura Kenshin. Hats and new blindfolds were bought at the market. As for the samurai swords and ribs on the waist, they were never the same. Seized by the long-eyed dregs warrior.

Ling Ze was ready, he was going to meet the strongest man in this world, "Higu Seijuro".
