"Kill!" Edo Castle shouted the four flags of killing. The rebels shook the flag and started a life-and-death duel with the last samurai. Some of the samurai's children were forced to go into battle. Both sides killed blood near the Tenshou Pavilion.

Sakai Tadaokaku, Abe Tadaki and other samurai were ashamed to surrender to the low-ranking peasants and wanted to break out in the northeast. There were also many Daming and Hachimotos loyal to the shogunate in the northeast.

"Ah!" A refugee was slashed on the shoulder by a samurai knife and screamed.

Several warriors fought back to back, and even faced dozens of peasants and ronin at the same time, they were not at a disadvantage. A group of warriors protected their families in the middle and gradually broke through the blockade of 20,000 rebels.

"President, our army's defense line has been broken, and we cannot continue to siege the samurai!" The commander who commanded the rebel army to siege the shogunate samurai anxiously rewarded Tanaka Naiichi.

"I have seen that although the people are powerful, they have never been to the battlefield and have no order. It is very difficult to defeat the samurai who has been through the battlefield... Go and ask Lord Zhang to let the defying Hachimoto join the battle, and the important officials of the shogunate escape from Edo Castle!" Tanaka Seiichi had a deep understanding of the combat power of his subordinates. Although he had no good feelings for the group of defying Shogunate, in order to eliminate the loyal ministers of Sakai Tadao and others who were loyal to the shogunate, Tanaka Seiichi had to seek help from Ono Taro and others again.

Only Taro Ono, who is also a samurai, can compete with the shogunate daimyos.

"Sir Zhang Yuan, China will ask for help from us. Should we intervene in the battlefield?" Taro Ono and others were ready to try.

Their Tachiban did not sincerely want to help the Huaxia Society defeat Tadakaku Sakai and others, but wanted to make contributions in front of the Kyushu Army. They did not seek refuge with the Huaxia Society of Tanaka Naiichi, but the Huaxia Society was purely the peasant army power that Tanaka Naiichi unintentionally developed and strengthened.

"You can join the battlefield." Zhang Yuan has been observing the decisive battle between the rebel army and the shogunate samurai. When both sides were seriously injured, he ordered the Hamamoto who turned against Taro Ono and others to join the battlefield.

Taro Ono and others picked up muskets and samurai swords. In order to avoid accidental injury, they had red turbans tied to their foreheads, which were called red turban samurai by their own people.

Many of Ono Taro and others were descendants of Tsubu's qinmoto. After they joined the battlefield, the balance of the war began to tilt towards the rebels.

"You hateful rebels, you dare to betray the shogunate who gave you the identity of a samurai!" Tadaokazu Sakai, who was in his forties, insisted on sharpness, holding a samurai sword in his hand and killing several red-scarlet warriors one after another, and was brave enough to be the one.

Beside Tadashi Sakai, there are also a group of important shogunate officials such as Tadaki Abe and Yukien Aoyama, who are almost the most powerful people below Tokugawa Iegami. However, at this moment, they have to bite the bullet and fight in person to safeguard their honor.

One by one, the red scarf samurai and refugees died in the final battle of honor for the shogunate samurai. The most tragic internal struggle and reshuffle broke out in Edo Castle. Among them, the rebels who lack combat power suffered the most losses in this battle, and some of the shogunate samurai's families who were unable to fight could not keep up with the large army and were killed.

Zhang Yuan looked at the reshuffle of Edo Castle indifferently and remained indifferent. He had seen a larger-scale massacre of city slaughter in the Central Plains. The Central Plains had a large population, and every peasant uprising would die one hundred thousand million people. The peasant uprising that swept across the country would even lead to the sacrifice of tens of millions of people. Compared with the Central Plains, the civil war here can only be said to be a slim.

The fierce civil war was surrounded by shogunate warriors until noon. The brave Tadaokazu Sakai suffered multiple injuries and was captured by the Red Turban warriors because of his lack of physical strength.

A group of ministers and Hamamoto, including Yukizumi Aoyama, were killed in the battle, and Tada Abe was captured by many peasants during the battle. The former hero Masamune Masamune, who was old and unable to fight, became a prisoner under the ranks.

Because Tadaokazu Sakai, Tadao Abe and other leaders died or were captured, the remaining Daming and the samurai gradually gave up their resistance and surrendered to the rebel army and the Red Turban samurai.

The rebels and the red scarf warriors began to clear the battlefield.

Edo Castle was in chaos because of the ban, fire, and war. It was full of broken walls and ruins everywhere, entering a short-lived city without order.

"The red scarf samurai controls the granary and restores order. The Huaxia Association is responsible for selling grain to citizens and farmers and distributing relief grains, burying corpses, and cleaning up the ruins burned due to the fire. A considerable part of the grain in the shogunate granary was originally to be transported to the front line, but now there is no need to transport grain to the front, the grain can barely be supplied to the residents of Edo Castle. We Chinese merchants will continue to transport the excess rice from the mainland to Edo Castle." Zhang Yuan temporarily asked Ono Taro's Red scarf samurai to act as a violent institution in Edo Castle, and Tanaka Naiichi's China Association appeased the residents of Edo Castle and began to stabilize the situation in Edo Castle.

"What should we deal with these prisoners? Should we all be executed?" The rebels pushed out the daimyo of prisoners such as Tadashi Sakai, Tada Abe Tadaki, Masamune Ita.

"Execute all!" Almost all the refugees shouted loudly.

"What do you think of Lord Zhang?" Although Tanaka Zeichi also wanted to execute these daimyos who stayed in Edo Castle on the spot, he had to act according to the expression of Zhang Yuan sent by the Kyushu Army.

Soon the Kyushu Army's fleet will arrive at Edo Castle and officially take over the city. Even the Huaxia Association he led was supported by the Beiyang Fleet. The funding of the Huaxia Association was also secretly funded by the Kyushu Army. Otherwise, they would not have had any way to get food to help refugees and win over the hearts of the people when Edo Castle is in a food crisis.

"Many of them are local daimyos who acted as hostages in Edo Castle and were monitored. If they were executed, there might be frequent rebellions in their places. We also need them to win over the cities in various places. It is better to detain them temporarily and reduce their sentences appropriately according to their contributions in the future." Zhang Yuan's consideration was different from the angry rebel army. He wanted Japan to be brought under the rule of the new government as soon as possible, so Ida Masamune and others became the trump card to appease Japan.

"Okay, as Lord Zhang said, these daimyos and flag book should be detained..." Tanaka Chengichi was quite dissatisfied with Zhang Yuan's handling of the matter, but Zhang Yuan was sent by the Jiuzhou Army, so he still had to obey the other party's dialect.

"So what about these ordinary samurai who worked for the shogunate?" Seeing that they could not execute Tadao Sakai and others at will, the rebels pointed their finger at the samurai who had no influence.

"They will serve as labor, clear out broken walls and ruins, and the later reconstruction of Edo Castle." Zhang Yuan completely regarded the captured shogunate samurai as a free labor force.
