long!

Regarding this name, there are some who appreciate it and some who are against it.

People who appreciate this name think that this name is nice and catchy, and it is also innovative and not tacky.

Those who oppose this name think that the name is too big.

New selection... What a big tone!

Of course, neither the admirers nor the opponents can change the fact that the official name of the Zhenfu Army has been designated as the "Shinsengumi" and the name "Shinsengumi" has been included in official documents.

Along with the name, the "Shinsengumi Rules" carefully drawn up by Qingnobo also spread:

1. All actions must be followed.

Second, you are not allowed to leave the organization without permission.

Third, there should be no personal fights without reason.

4. Anyone who extorts others, robs property, harms innocent people, or rapes women shall be punished on the spot.

5. Those who collaborate with the enemy and betray them shall be punished on the spot.

Once the first three articles are violated, the person will be beheaded directly in public. There will be no other punishment, not even the opportunity to commit seppuku.

As for the last two items, they are even more shocking. If violated, the law will be punished on the spot...even the effort of being dragged to the execution ground will be avoided.

The cruelty of the law deeply shocked the citizens of Edo, who were accustomed to living a peaceful life.

Especially those sergeants who had passed the assessment and became members of the Shinsengumi were even more frightened.

Whether a law has a deterrent effect mainly depends on two points:

First, is it fair and equitable?

Secondly, whether the person or organization endorsing it has the ability to “do whatever it says”.

If a three-year-old child said to you: "Be careful, I'll cut off some of it," you would probably sneer at it.

But if a benevolent king says to you: "Be careful, or I'll kill you"...then you'd better listen to his words and keep them in your heart.

Qingdeng has always been like a "Buddha statue on the altar" in people's minds.

Everyone knows that he is very strong and powerful, and everyone is familiar with his heroic deeds, but no one has seen his abilities with their own eyes, and no one knows exactly how strong he is.

However, not long ago - in a short period of 17 days, he fought thousands of people without losing a single battle - Aoshito's dazzling performance at the recruitment ceremony, for the first time and intuitively and clearly, to all applicants and all Edo people.

citizen, showing his strength.

The upright figure of "Standing on a high platform, invincible" not only left a deep impression on the citizens of Edo, but also made most of the applicants firmly remember the power of Nioh.

Taken together, Qingdeng's insistence on adopting the "combat all applicants" selection method has been successfully achieved.

Not only did he recruit a large amount of talent, he also controlled the quality of his sergeants, and at the same time established his own high dignity.

In addition, at the same time as the official name of the Zhenfu Army and the "New Sengumi Procedure" were announced, its organizational structure was also gradually unveiled.

The Shinsengumi is not a simple military force that is only responsible for fighting.

It is a complete, semi-independent military group integrating military and political affairs.

In this case, there are naturally more than just combat troops inside.

The current Shinsengumi has four major departments——

The [Bad Sword Team] is responsible for street fighting, field charges and other close combat operations.

The [Metropolitan Inspectorate] is responsible for supervising sergeants and maintaining the laws and discipline of the Shinsengumi and military discipline.

[General Affairs Department] is responsible for handling administrative work.

The [Finance Office] is responsible for managing finance and logistics.

Under Qingto's ingenious design, the Shinsengumi's power structure was a very classic pyramid shape.

Qingdeng's own official position is "Gyeonggi Town Governor and Chief of the Shinsengumi". He is the unquestionable supreme leader of the Shinsengumi and has the supreme power to speak for himself.

Below him are the four top leaders in charge of the four major departments:

The “vice-captain” of the Bato Team: Hijikata Toshizo.

The "Director" of the Metropolitan Police Bureau: Isamu Kondo.

The “chief” of the General Affairs Department: Shannan Keisuke.

"Director" of the Finance Office: There is currently no suitable candidate, so it is temporarily vacant.

Further down are the captains of the Ba Dao Team.

The Ba Dao Team has 10 divisions, and each division has a captain. They are:

First Division Captain Okita Souji.

Captain of the Second Division: Nagakura Shinpachi.

Captain of the Third Division, Saito Kazuo.

Captain of the Fourth Squadron: Kamo Serizawa.

Captain of the 5th Division: Nishiki Shinmi.

Captain of the Sixth Division, Gensaburo Inoue.

Captain of the 7th Division: Sanako Chiba.

Captain of the Eighth Division, Toudo Heisuke.

Captain of Division 9, Mai Kinoshita.

Captain of the 10th Division, Sanosuke Harada.

Among them, the first, second and third teams are the main force with the strongest combat power.

The fourth, sixth and tenth teams are the second-line troops.

The fifth, seventh, eighth and ninth teams are reserve troops.

Below the captain are the grassroots staff.

The "soldier" of the Ba Dao Team.

The "visit payment" of the Metropolitan Police Bureau.

"Domination" of the General Affairs Department.

"Determination" of the Finance Office.

The above four are the grassroots personnel of the four major departments respectively.

In addition to the four chiefs of the four major departments, there is also a "staff officer" position, held by Qinghe Hachiro.

As the name suggests, the staff officer does not undertake specific work, but is only responsible for assisting Qingdeng and giving advice to Qingdeng. It can be regarded as a senior position independent of the four major departments.

The director, deputy director, chief, room chief, staff officer, and the 10 captains of the Bato Team—the above 15 people are the "middle class" of the Shinsengumi, the middle part of the pyramid.

Not counting Aomori, the Shinsengumi currently has 120 members.

Except for the 14 cadres who lacked department heads, among the remaining 106 people, 5 who were literate were assigned to the General Affairs Department, 3 who were good at planning were assigned to the Finance Office, and 8 with outstanding capabilities were assigned to the Capital Inspectorate.

Bureau, the other 90 people were evenly distributed into various divisions of the Battō Team.

Because it is evenly distributed, the number of people in each team is the same, with 1 captain and 9 team members, a total of 10 people.

The above is the organizational structure of the Shinsengumi.

Anyone who is familiar with Qingdeng’s social circle can see at a glance: Qingdeng’s appointment and dismissal of cadres is a standard form of nepotism!

Except for Kamo Serizawa and Nishiki Niimi, who are captains of the fourth and fifth divisions of the Battō Squadron respectively, and Hachiro Kiyokawa, who serves as a staff officer, the rest of the cadres are Aoto's brothers and lovers.

However, this is impossible to say.

As the saying goes, "one person, one team."

Putting your trusted confidants into various important positions is a common thing and a matter of course.

What's more, the cronies appointed by Qingdeng are all powerful people who can't find fault.

Sanako, Mai Kinoshita, and everyone from the Imperial Guard Hall headed by Kondo showed off their high strength on the high platform of the recruiting venue.

Who dares to say anything? Are you dissatisfied? Are you more powerful than them?

In terms of professional titles, Isamu Kondo, Toshizo Hijikata and Keisuke Yamanan, who serve as the director of the Metropolitan Police Bureau, the deputy director of the Battō Team and the director-general of the General Affairs Department respectively, are above the Director-General and others.

Why such a personnel arrangement is adopted has Qingdeng's deep consideration and is not a random job.

Since being adopted as an adopted son by Shusuke Kondo at the age of 15, Isamu Kondo has been helping to manage the trial gym as the "young master" for 14 years.

The sword hall is a big dyeing vat where everyone can be found.

There are good children who are docile and obedient, and there are also thorns that are difficult to discipline.

Managing a sword hall is not an easy task.

However, Isamu Kondo has always kept the trial court in good order, and there has never been a big mistake.
