Chapter 628 Rebellion breaks out! War has begun! 4500(2/2)

——The Shinsengumi’s funding problem... has finally been initially resolved!

At this thought, Qingdeng's cheeks were filled with excitement.

When his excitement calmed down a little, he sat up straight and said loudly to Yataro Iwasaki:

"Iwasaki-kun, please take note of this! I will make the following plans for the newly accounted over 5,000 taels of gold!"

"Mr. Orange, do you want to use this money now?"

"Does that need to be said? Isn't the purpose of making money just to spend money? Anyway, buy a batch of war horses first! And give all my soldiers new equipment!"





Gyeonggi area, Ise——

On a certain country road where chickens and dogs meet each other, a strange-looking sedan moves forward rapidly.

I saw six bearers in total pushing this sedan.

Four people were carrying the four corners of the sedan, one person at each front and one person at the front. The person in front pulled hard, and the person behind pushed hard.

They gritted their teeth and ran with all their strength, regardless of their own physical strength...The speed was frightening, and the sedan they pushed was shaking violently.

Although it is almost April now, it is still late winter and the weather is very cold.

However, the cold weather did not dampen the enthusiasm of the bearers.

These six bearers were all naked from the waist up, revealing their bodies which were not strong but still healthy. They were all sweating profusely from exhaustion, and there was faint translucent steam steaming out from their heads.

There is no traffic here, so I met many pedestrians on the road.

When pedestrians along the way saw this sedan, their expressions changed drastically, and they hurriedly stepped aside to make way.

The reason for this is because they all understand what it will mean when this sedan appears.

Anyone with a little common sense knows that this is a "express sedan" that will only be dispatched in emergencies!

Japan is a mountainous country, and nearly 80% of its land is hills and mountains.

In addition, the quality of Japan's local horses is very poor. Not only are they very short, but their endurance and explosive power are lackluster.

Under such special national conditions, riding a horse is often not the best option for traveling. In many cases, riding a horse may not be as efficient as walking.

Therefore, when the shogunate and the vassal state wanted to convey important information to a certain place, they often sent out express sedans instead of post horses.

In a sense, the express sedan is a deadly means of transportation.

Its standard specification is 6 bearers, 4 people carry the sedan chair, 1 person in front pulls the rope tied to the front bar, and 1 person in the back pushes the rear bar.

The people carrying the sedan chairs would replace them with a new batch every time they arrived at a post station.

The person in the sedan chair - the messenger - will never be changed and will have to be carried to the end.

On the way, the bearers will not consider the feelings of the people in the sedan, but will run as fast as they can.

Because this way of traveling is really inhumane, the shogunate and the feudal lords will only dispatch express sedans in emergencies where every second counts.

Even a modern sedan will make you feel dizzy and nauseous uncontrollably when you drive fast or in a hurry, let alone a sedan from the Edo period that has no stability at all?

It is a long journey, the road is complicated, and the sedan must always keep moving forward rapidly... The shock and bumps experienced by the people in the sedan are extraordinary.

Therefore, in order to alleviate the pain and save their lives, messengers riding in sedans must wear a set of outfits called "morning uniforms" (special attire for emergency services), tie a headband on their forehead, and use the entire body to express themselves.

A piece of white cloth (about two feet long and seven feet long and nine inches wide) was wrapped tightly. Both hands firmly grasped the rope hanging from the top of the sedan to stabilize the body and reduce the violent shaking. The handkerchief was bitten tightly in the mouth to avoid accidentally

Bite your tongue off.

However, even after reaching this point, it is still common to vomit gastric juice. It is not uncommon for the body to be shaken until the internal organs are almost broken, and all the organs in the body are almost knocked out from the throat.

For example - at this moment, the body of this dear man in the sedan is already on the verge of reaching its limit.

"Ugh...! Ugh...! Ugh, vomit, vomit, vomit!!!"

Along the way, the six bearers who were carrying the sedan were used to hearing the sound of people in the sedan vomiting.

However, the sound of vomiting this time was really unusual.

Loud and long-lasting... It's like you want to vomit out your blood, body fluids, and internal organs...

The bearers stopped in unison.

"Little brother, are you okay?"

The bearer closest to the sedan door rushed forward and pushed open the sedan door.

The moment the sedan door opened, a nauseating stench spurted out.

The bearer who pushed the door was so smoked that he almost fainted.

He took several steps back, away from the sedan, and shook his head several times to barely stay awake.

The other bearers held their breath, leaned over and looked into the sedan... In an instant, panic dominated their expressions.

This is not because the smell is too bad, but because... the scene inside the sedan is really too tragic...

Using the word "messy" to describe it seems too light and inappropriate.

I saw thick layers of vomit and excrement accumulated on the floor inside the sedan.

Undigested food, saliva, gastric juice, bile, urine...layers upon layers, layers upon layers, layers upon layers...Both the smell and the visual impact are daunting.

As for the messenger who was tied up and firmly fixed in the sedan chair... To be fair, from the outside, this person no longer looked like a living creature.

The complexion of a dead person who has just been dead for two days may be a little healthier than his.

The eyeballs are covered with red bloodshot eyes.

Nosebleeds were dripping from both nostrils, and they kept flowing...

This man, who seemed to be about to die at any moment, glanced at the bearers with his lifeless eyes, and said feebly:

"What...? Why do you stop...? Why don't you continue on your way...?"

"Now...is not...the time to rest..."

"Every time we take a break, countless innocent people will be slaughtered...!"

"We must... inform the governor and Higo-sama as soon as possible... of the rebellion... the news of the outbreak in Ise...!"
