Try the Weiguan School”!【4400】

"I wanted to seize the Shinsengumi and make it mine."

"I originally thought that the Shinsengumi would not be able to survive the 'shortage of food and salary' crisis."

"I want to take advantage of the precious opportunity of the military morale to be in chaos to seize the Shinsengumi in one go."

"I never thought...that Tachibana Aoden is indeed quite capable...!"

"He actually got through this!"

Speaking of this, Qinghe Hachilang frowned, his cheekbones bulged, and he gritted his teeth, his face full of unwillingness and resentment.

“I don’t know whether he received guidance from an expert or what happened, but he was able to find Yataro Iwasaki, a very talented businessman, and come up with a great idea like the ‘Silver Mirror’, which is a huge profit!”

"An ordinary silver mirror can earn you several taels, or even ten taels of gold!"

"That Yataro Iwasaki is obviously just an unknown person, but he is able to see through business opportunities keenly, and he is responsible for running the huge Shinsei Chamber of Commerce in an orderly manner."

"As far as I know, he is planning to sell the silver mirror overseas recently."

“Ship after ship of silver mirrors were transported to Osaka and brought back ship after ship of gold!”

"In addition, he has recently begun to get involved in other industries."

"In the name of the Shinseng Chamber of Commerce, he purchased a large piece of land on the outskirts of Kyoto and started building land from the river."

"If this project is completed, we can earn huge wealth!"

"Under the governance of Yataro Iwasaki, the Shinsei Chamber of Commerce is now thriving."

"With food and pay, there will be military morale."

"All the soldiers of the Shinsengumi who are eating a gluttonous feast and receiving generous pay, all respect Tachibana Aoden as their master!"

"Today, if you want to replace Tachibana Aoden and snatch the Shinsengumi, it will be extremely difficult."

Speaking of this, Qinghe Balang snorted with annoyance on his face.

"Forget it, since we can't capture the Shinsengumi, let's destroy it!"

Qinghe has always had a very clear understanding of his own identity - a loyal and honorable man!

He never agreed with the rule of the shogunate. He only saw the emperor but not the general.

From the day he joined the Shinsengumi, he was rushing to "capture the Shinsengumi".

Isn't it beautiful to spend the shogunate's money, consume the shogunate's food, and then use the shogunate's soldiers to attack the shogunate - a white wolf with empty hands!

Using his identity as "Shinsengumi Staff" to secretly seize the Shinsengumi and transform the Shinsengumi into the vanguard of the great cause of war-the above is Kiyokawa Hachiro's plan...or rather the "original plan".

Just like what he said just now, he originally wanted to wait until the Shinsengumi rebelled due to lack of food and salary, and then secretly seek for it.

However... the changes that took place after that were far beyond his expectations!

However, it is not surprising that he made this misjudgment.

Prior to this, anyone would have felt that Seitobo's situation was already precarious and that the Shinsengumi was a dying force.

Without money and food supplies from the shogunate, how long can this temporarily established new army last?

In fact, before Qingden formed the Shinsengumi Chamber of Commerce, almost everyone was not optimistic about the future of the Shinsengumi.

Even if Qingdeng could manage to keep this stall going, its development would be limited.

As a result... Aoto was able to overcome this difficulty simply by relying on one person and one thing - Yataro Iwasaki and Ginjing! And further strengthened the Shinsengumi!

In terms of personal prestige, Qinghe Balang can't even reach Qingdeng's knees.

In terms of logistics supply, thanks to Meng Qingteng's favor, the soldiers of the Shinsengumi enjoy the best treatment in the country.

Whether it was "spiritually" or "materially", Qinghe Hachilang was beaten by Qingdeng in all aspects.

Under such a situation, talking about "replacing Tachibana Aoden" or "seeking the Shinsengumi" is simply wishful thinking!

Therefore, when Hachiro Kiyokawa discovered that his "tampering plan" had no possibility of being realized, he had to settle for the next best thing and change to another plan - to destroy the Shinsengumi!

Aoshinobu's lofty status and favor within the shogunate, as well as the Shinsengumi's strong combat effectiveness in the "Iga Offensive and Defense Battle", made all Japanese lofty ideals deeply aware of one fact - the soaring strength

The Shinsengumi has become a huge obstacle to the great cause of Zunxing!

An obstacle that cannot move forward unless it is removed!

In the eyes of those with lofty ideals and strategic vision, weakening the Shinsengumi or even destroying it has become an urgent priority!

Qinghe Hachilang is fully aware of his own frailty.

To this end, he has been seeking support from external forces.

From the imperial court to Changshu, from Satsuma to Tosa, he sent his cronies to contact every power he could count on and rely on.

The court's attitude was ambiguous.

Satsuma made it clear that he refused to cooperate.

Changzhou did not respond.

Only the Tosa Kinwang Party in Tosa expressed "interest in you".

Finally, today, Qinghe Hachiro's cronies reported to him: Takeshi Hanheita is willing to form an alliance with them! And he wants to meet him tonight!

That's why the scene of "the two meeting in secret" was engraved.

After listening to Qinghe Hachiro's emotion, Takeshi Hanheita said calmly:

"I have to bear part of the responsibility for Ju Qingden to be in such a good situation today."

"Iwasaki Yataro was originally a country wanderer from Tosa."

"Previously, Tachibana Aoden personally came to visit and offered a 'remuneration of 100,000 taels' in exchange for the deregistration of Yataro Iwasaki and his family, and the restoration of Iwa's father's reputation."

"The IOU he originally wrote to me is still kept in my bookcase."

"To be honest, I didn't take Yataro Iwasaki seriously at all at first,"

"I don't think Tachibana Aoden has the outstanding ability to strengthen the Shinsengumi."

"I just think Ju Qingden is really crazy, he actually spent 100,000 taels of gold to 'buy' an unknown underground ronin."

"Anyway, it's something that won't make you lose money. Why don't you take advantage of the situation and sell it as a favor?"

"So, I agreed to the conditions he proposed."

"Now it seems... I am blind."

"We lost a valuable talent for nothing...it's such a pity."

After Qinghe Hachilang heard this, his facial expression suddenly became embarrassed.

He had just eloquently described how Aoto became even more powerful after acquiring Iwasaki Yataro, but he had forgotten that "Iwasaki Yataro was originally from Tosa, and the reason why he served Aono was all because of Takeichi Hanheita's 'assist'"

fact.

In this way, his previous words seemed to be secretly accusing Takeshi Hanheita of his fault.

At this time, someone standing behind Wushi Hanpingtai suddenly said:

"Teacher, since you still keep Ju Qingden's IOU, let's go collect the debt from him!"

"That guy has a lot of money now! There's no way he can't hand over 100,000 gold!"

"'100,000 taels of gold will be exchanged for Iwasaki Yataro' - this is what Tachibana Aoto said personally, and he also wrote an IOU in black and white!"

"This money belongs to us. If we don't take it, we won't take it for free!"

As soon as this person finished speaking, Takeshi Hanheita turned his head sideways, squinted his eyes, and glanced at him coldly.

"We are noble warriors."

"As a samurai, but acting like a businessman, holding up an IOU to ask for debts from others, what is the decency of him?"

After being scolded by Takeshi Hanheita, the man immediately lowered his head with a look of shame on his face.

"Teacher, I'm sorry...I was reckless."

When Qinghe Balang saw this, he thought to himself:

——This person calls Takeshi Hanheita "teacher"... Apparently, he should be Takeshi Hanheita's student.

Wu Shi Banping Taiyuan is a master of a field.

He was a talented man with both civil and military skills.

Therefore, his dojo teaches both martial arts and knowledge.

The most eye-catching aspect of his monastery is that he does not care about his origin.

Whether they are senior sergeants who enjoy all the privileges, or low-status Baizha countrymen or corporals, they can freely join his sect.

Hanping Tai's class status in Takeshi is Baizha Xiangshi.

Although the social status of Baizha Xiangshi is higher than that of corporals, in the eyes of sergeants, it is still synonymous with "humble".

For this reason, the sergeants were completely dismissive of Hanping Tai's dojo in Wu City.
