Chapter 714: The General Manager Was Traumatized by Qing Deng! [4200]

Baobaozi is terrible at math... In the last chapter, he made a joke about 150+50+50=200... (Baobao crying.jpg)

Baobaozi has adjusted the strength of each unit in the last chapter. The 9th Division is changed to 100 people, the 8th Division is changed to 450 people, and the total strength is adjusted to 3250 people. Please be informed!

People who are proficient in martial arts, those with the best skills, and those with the strongest physique... It is no exaggeration to say that the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Divisions concentrate the "essence" of the Shinsengumi!

Because they follow the route of "better to have less than less", except for the 9th Division (100 people), these 3 divisions have the least strength.

Although their total strength is only 600 people.

However, there is no doubt that if these 600 people are allowed to have a fair and head-on confrontation with the other infantry of the Shinsengumi (1800 people), the former will definitely win!

The 4th Division is the most powerful division, with a total of 500 soldiers.

The Shinsengumi now has only 3,000 combatants in total.

Judging from the number alone, the 4th Division alone controls one-sixth of the Shinsengumi's forces!

Aoto's "preference" for the 4th Division has attracted doubts from Hijikata Toshizo, Yamanami Keisuke and others.

The content of their objections is surprisingly consistent - the captain of the 4th Division is that Serizawa Duck! Do we really want to let outsiders lead such a strong force?

As long as it is an organization, there will always be a phenomenon of party unity and mutual support.

This is human nature.

Humans will always trust and get close to people and circles that they are familiar with.

The so-called "faction" was born in this way.

The "Shiweikan faction" has eaten from the same pot, lived under the same roof, and practiced martial arts.

The deep friendship between them is better than family, although not family.

Therefore, the "Shiweikan faction" headed by Qing Deng naturally maintained a certain distance from outsiders... that is, Serizawa Kame, Niimi Nishiki and Kiyokawa Hachiro.

The former found it difficult to accept the latter.

The latter disdained to integrate into the former.

To be honest, Qing Deng did not like Serizawa Kame.

He was rude, cold-faced and aggressive, and always looked scary... Qing Deng hated people with bad personalities.

The other captains of the Badao Corps could not get along with Serizawa Kame.

Some people even hated Serizawa Kame.

For example, Saito Ichi was very incompatible with him.

More than 5 months ago, at the mobilization ceremony for the Shinsengumi to march to Kyoto, Serizawa Kame spoke rudely to Qing Deng, causing dissatisfaction from Saito Ichi.

Thanks to Souji's intervention, otherwise the two would have fought directly at that time.

To this day, the relationship between Saito Ichi and Serizawa Kame is still very tense.

When they meet each other, they will ignore each other tacitly and treat each other as air.

Only Inoue Genzaburo, who had fought side by side with Serizawa Kame in the "Iga Battle", could say a few words to him.

However, the two of them were just nodding acquaintances.

The soldiers of the 4th Division were very afraid of Serizawa Kame.

Serizawa Kame liked to use his iron fan with the four characters "Loyalty to the Country" engraved on it to hit people.

If any soldier accidentally angered him... it is not difficult to imagine what would happen next.

It can be said that except for his fellow countryman and friend Niimi Nishiki, no one in the Shinsengumi was close to Serizawa Kame.

However, no matter how much he hated him, Qing Deng still admired Serizawa Kame's outstanding skills and his brave and fearless style.

When faced with a tough and bloody battle, he really dared to go!

The best example is the "Iga Battle" a while ago.

At that time, Serizawa Kame's bravery and fighting skills left a deep impression on Qing Deng.

There is a saying that "a soldier who is incompetent will bring about a general who is incompetent all over the place".

Although the soldiers of the Fourth Division are very afraid of Serizawa Duck, it is also because of this that as long as Serizawa Duck issues the order of "follow me", they dare not disobey!

It really achieved "compared to the enemy's swords, I am more afraid of Serizawa Duck's iron fan".

Under the leadership of Serizawa Duck, the Fourth Division has a very strong combat effectiveness.

If a man like Serizawa Duck who dares to fight and rush, and who puts life and death aside in every battle, is not reused, it is really a waste of natural resources.

He is like a sharp double-edged sword.

If used poorly, it will hurt yourself.

If used well, it is an excellent weapon to defeat thieves and kill enemies!

Therefore, Qing Deng held the idea of ​​"recruiting talents regardless of their background" and greatly expanded the Fourth Division, so that Serizawa Duck had the most troops.

Anyway, he was not afraid of the other party's rashness.

Not to mention Qing Deng, the person who can completely suppress Serizawa Duck in the Shinsengumi is Souji.

As for those who are as strong as Serizawa Duck, there are even more.

Kondo Isami, Hijikata Toshizo, Nagakura Shinpachi and Saito Ichi all have strong strength that can compete with Serizawa Duck.

Although the Fourth Division has a large number of troops, its overall quality is far from comparable to that of the First, Second and Third Divisions.

In a word: Qing Deng is not afraid of Serizawa Duck at all! If he dares to mess around, Qing Deng has no less than ten ways to kill him!

Inoue Genzaburo and Fujido Heisuke both have strong strength and trustworthy loyalty, so they each have 450 soldiers.

Niimi Nishiki is not a confidant of Qing Deng, and secondly, he does not have high-level skills, so among the "ordinary infantry team", he has the least troops, only 400 people.

The situation of the infantry team is roughly like this.

The current situation of the cavalry team...that is, the seventh and tenth divisions, is quite complicated.

Based on the existing financial income and after careful study, Qingdeng finally decided to control the current strength of the cavalry to 500 men, with the seventh and tenth divisions each accounting for half, each with 250 cavalry.

The cavalry is very expensive.

If the military expansion is too drastic all at once, it may cause a serious financial crisis.

By then, not only had the cavalry not been trained, but all the money had been spent.

Yataro Iwasaki is not a god.

No matter how much he can make money, he still doesn't have the ability to "make money out of thin air."

Not only did cavalry cost a lot of money, but it was also difficult to train.

Due to the lack of conditions for riding horses, even samurai from well-off families rarely had the opportunity to practice riding skills.

Most of the soldiers in the 7th and 10th divisions didn't even know how to mount their horses.

In other words, at this stage, the Shinsengumi cavalry are still in a state of "learning to ride a horse."

It is still far away from "practicing riding combat and forming considerable combat effectiveness"!

Division 9 is in the same situation.

It's hard to practice cavalry, but it's even harder to practice ninja!

For the Japanese nowadays, "ninja" is already an extremely old term.

Since ancient times, ninjas have been a special type of military force that is not popular, like "rats in the gutter."

No matter where or when, samurai would not bother to be ninjas unless they were desperate.

During the warring States period, ninjas could still make ends meet.

When the world is at peace, the ninjas will naturally be useless.

Ninjas became scarce.

The inheritance of ninjutsu is even worse.

Nowadays, ninjutsu basically only has two states left - lost and on the verge of being lost.

There are still some people who have been exposed to equestrian and other things.

As for ninjutsu, I have never seen it before!

Training ninjas from scratch...this is a big project!

Qingto's requirements for Division 9 are not high.

He didn't need Naruto breathing fire and spitting water.

There is no need for female ninjas who can seduce enemy generals and give them a soft thumb.

Being able to fly over walls and climb walls, being able to sneak into hidden facilities - if he could reach this level, Qingdeng would be satisfied.

After being specially selected by Qingto, the members of the Ninth Division all have bodies that are very suitable for practicing ninjutsu - they are thin and unattractive, and they would be hard to find if they were thrown into a busy city.

Aomori entrusted Kinoshita Mai with the important task of "training ninjas and building the ninth division into a qualified ninja force".

Although Kinoshita Mai felt a lot of pressure, she still resolutely accepted the appointment.

I have to say that Kinoshita Mai is quite good at teaching others.

Under her careful guidance, the members of Division 9 have grown at an impressive rate.

If everything goes well, it will only take about a year for Qingto to see a formally formed ninja army!

It is worth mentioning that because she has become a teacher and has to interact with people for a long time every day, Kinoshita Mai's temperament has improved a lot even though she was afraid of being born.

It seems that it won't be long before Kinoshita Mai will be able to completely get rid of the labels of "fear of strangers" and "gloomy girl".

Although the size of the Shinsengumi has increased, there are still many internal problems that need to be resolved one by one.

The work Qingdeng has to deal with next is still heavy.

The road to a strong army is long and difficult!

…

…

After Qingteng returned to the capital, no big news happened in either the Eastern Kingdom or the Western Kingdom, whether it was the Samu sect or the King Zun sect.

It was peaceful... so peaceful that it felt abnormal.

However, a small thing happened - it was a small thing to others, but it was a big thing to Qingdeng!

To put it simply - Qingden underestimated the impact of the talent "Core of the Elephant" after reaching the highest level.

Therefore... he incurred the displeasure of the Director-General.

In recent days, the General Secretary has been avoiding Qingto.

When others saw this, they probably thought that Qingto and Souji had a quarrel.

In fact, not so.

The cause of this incident must start when Qingden first returned to Beijing.

As soon as he returned to Kyoto, Aoto, who "missed" Souji very much, took advantage of the darkness and happily sneaked into her room.

The next day, Souji's complexion became very pale, and his legs would shake uncontrollably when he walked...

It was also from this day on that when Souji saw Qingden, he would subconsciously tighten his neck, like a mouse meeting a cat, and then turn around anxiously and take a detour to avoid Qingden.

The General Secretary's ignorance and avoidance made Qingden want to cry without tears.

Fortunately, Souji is a soft-eared girl who is easy to talk to.

Qingdeng tried his best to coax him back to the headquarters.

However... the day after the two "reconciled", Souji turned pale again, staggered on his feet, and then ignored and avoided Aoden again.

This is the first time Qingden hates a certain talent so much...

…

…

Wenjiu three years (1863), July 15, night——

Kyoto, Mibu Township, Shinsengumi camp, Qinghe Hachiro's room——

Before Qinghe Hachiro committed suicide, he concentrated on reading Mito Blood's classic "History of Japan".

Suddenly, someone's voice came from outside the door:

"Mr. Qinghe, it's me."

Qinghe Hachilang responded without raising his head:

"come in."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a big man push open the door and rush to Qinghe Hachilang's side. He knelt down on one knee, put his lips close to his ear, and whispered for a while.

Instantly, Kiyokawa Hachiro's pupils shrank suddenly, and his cheeks were filled with surprise and joy.

"Sugiura, is this true?"

The big man... Sugiura, nodded vigorously.

"'Over there' said: Meet at Omi-ya in Ushio-cho tonight at 9:00 p.m."

"..."

Kiyokawa Hachiro lowered his eyelids, thinking silently without saying a word.

...

...

That night, at 9:00 p.m. --

Somewhere in the Shinsengumi garrison --

Rustle, rustle... A sneaky figure carefully passed through the dense bushes.

It was Kiyokawa Hachiro!

With the cover of the bushes, he moved inch by inch to the wall.

Then, he looked around, not missing any corner.

After confirming that no one was following him, he jumped up like a scallion on a dry land, stretched out his hand to grab the edge of the wall, and then flipped up like origami, climbed over the wall, and escaped from the village neatly.

As soon as his feet landed on the ground, he held the sword at his waist and hurried to the alley not far away, running to Ushio Town.

About twenty minutes later, he successfully arrived at Ushio Town, and then found an izakaya called "Omi-ya".

He walked up and knocked on the door of the shop.

A low voice came from behind the door:

"When will the shogunate fall?"

Qihe Hachiro immediately answered:

"Soon, soon, soon."

As soon as he finished speaking, the old shop door "creaked" slowly opened, revealing a gap big enough for an adult to get in.

Qihe Hachiro held the untied sword in his right hand and walked in without thinking.

The door of the shop closed again.

The shop was very dim.

As soon as he entered the door, Qinghe Hachiro felt a sharp gaze - several mighty warriors stood in the darkness, staring at him straight.

Qinghe Hachiro glanced at these warriors roughly, then fixed his sight, looking at the table in front of him with a sharp gaze.

There was an oil lamp on the table in front of him - this was the only light source here - opposite the table, sat a heroic young man.

The slightly swaying flame of the oil lamp illuminated the young man's face, and it was sometimes bright and sometimes dark.

The young man smiled, slowly raised his eyes, and met Qinghe Hachiro's eyes.

"Qinghe-kun, it's our first time to meet. I am the leader of the Tosa Loyalist Party - Takechi Hanpeita."

As he said this, Takechi Hanpeita made a "please sit down" gesture.

Qinghe Hachiro sat down and nodded in greeting:

"I am Qinghe Hachiro, Mr. Takechi, I have heard of your name for a long time."

The two sat face to face.

After both of them finished their brief self-introductions, Takechi Hanpeita suddenly raised his voice and said seriously:

"Mr. Kiyokawa, time is running out, please forgive me for being straightforward."

"I am very interested in your plan to 'subvert the Shinsengumi from within.'"

"The existence of the Shinsengumi is a major obstacle to the realization of the great cause of the Sonnōri."

"Therefore, we, the Tosa Kinō Party, must be enemies with the Shinsengumi."

"To be honest, I have been planning to 'eliminate the Shinsengumi' for a long time."

"I am very relieved to learn that there are heroes like you in the Shinsengumi."

"Therefore, I am very willing to cooperate with you."

After hearing this, Kiyokawa Hachiro curled his lips.

"Mr. Takechi, I am so happy to hear you say this."

As soon as he finished speaking, he changed his face, put on a regretful expression, and sighed.
