The four southwestern feudal clans, who could not bear it for a long time, gathered their troops in an instant and moved towards the northeast, and the advance troops that had long been lurking in the surrounding areas of Kyoto also acted in an instant.

The advance troops of 5000 people formed a force at a rapid speed and launched an attack on the Toba and Fushimi areas outside Kyoto occupied by the shogunate.

The Tokugawa shogunate had long expected this day to happen, and did not choose to sit still.

The soldiers of Aizu and Kuwana feudal clans quickly assembled an army of about 5000 people, and battles began in the Toba and Fushimi areas.

However, the advantage in numbers did not bring the results that Tokugawa Keiki wanted.

The troops of the Choshu Domain and Satsuma Domain, almost all armed with guns, completely suppressed the Aizu Domain and Kuwana Domain in terms of firepower.

Zuo Village agreed to Xixiang Shenglong's request and participated in the battle.

There is no doubt that Zuo Cun bumped into the members of the Shinsengumi.

but.

After the confrontation with a knife, no matter how close the previous relationship was, it only needs to be slashed.

Besides, this is a battlefield—

Under the powerful firepower of the Sachang Allied Forces, the shogunate army retreated steadily. After suffering enough to be called a tragic blow, the shogunate chose to retreat to Osaka by water.

"Take Toba Fushimi, and then we have to go to Osaka immediately." Saigo Morito looked at Junichiro Kido and said solemnly, "Now the surrounding waters are in the hands of the Tokugawa shogunate, we must Get a big victory."

"Osaka is the top priority. This place is the military base of the Tokugawa shogunate. As long as we can capture Osaka, our goal this time will be achieved."

The battle of Toba Fushimi, the shogunate army can be called a fiasco is not an exaggeration, which makes Saigo Shenglong see the hope of a great victory.

At this time, Prince Ninwaji Palace Kazhang, who was instructed to become the shogun of the shogunate, also came with the pennant and the sword that were bestowed by the Meiji Emperor.

The morale of the fallen army was very high for a while, and they officially called themselves "Tianhuang Army", which represented that they were a righteous existence on behalf of the imperial court to conquer the shogunate.

Zuocun, on the other hand, sat alone on a large rock on the top of the hill outside the barracks, watching the barracks in full swing.

Just feel full of ridiculous.

Toba Fushimi, the shogunate army was hit hard, and the next step is Osaka.

Zuo Village sighed at Miss Okita who was still in Osaka.

He stood up and jumped high.

I have to pick up Ms. Okita, the place in Osaka is already dangerous.

=== Chapter 410 Take Okita away ===

News of the shogun's defeat at the Battle of Toba and Fushimi quickly spread throughout Japan.

After seeing the fighting strength of the strong feudal lords in the southwest, the other feudal lords who were originally watching, they all left the shogunate and began to maintain neutrality or simply send troops to attack the shogunate together.

The ultimate wall of grass belongs to yes.

Kei Tokugawa, who was retreating to Osaka, smashed the table with joy.

"You bastard who sees the wind! Trash!!!" Tokugawa Kiyoshi, like an angry tiger, pulled out a knife and slashed his chair, his chest heaving violently.

Since he took office before the shogunate, he has not encountered a single thing that goes well.

First, he was beaten by Takasugi Shinsaku in the Changzhou domain, and finally he was humiliated and exchanged for Tokugawa's head.

Then he just took office, and he just kowtowed to Xiaoming, who had already had his braids up, and the people of Xiaoming disappeared there. When Meiji took office, he ran over to kowtow to Meiji again.

Then the strong vassal in the southwest began to persecute, and he was unwilling to become the king of the subjugated country and gave up the glory of the Tokugawa shogunate for hundreds of years.

In the end, the war broke out, and in the first round of collision, his army was smashed to pieces.

Those clans who let their troops rest yesterday did not even open the city gates today.

"The Tokugawa family, the glory of the Tokugawa family - is it going to be buried in my hands?"

King of the dead.

What an ironic word.

But now, Tokugawa Qingxi seems to have seen these four words come to him.

"No, I - absolutely cannot be the king of this subjugated country!"

"Set up an ambush in front of Osaka, and make another counterattack!"

He thought frantically.

The glory of the Tokugawa family - should not end!

......

Zuo Cun came to Liangshun House alone.

It was getting dark now, and Chief Okita had already fallen asleep.

Zuo Village knocked on the door of Chief Okita's room lightly.

A weak voice came from the house: "Is it Masaki? Is there something wrong?"

"It's me, Zuo Cun," Zuo Cun whispered.

The room fell silent, and then there was a rustling sound.

"come in."

Opening the door, Zuo Cun walked in.

Chief Director Okita was wearing pajamas, sitting under the covers, and staring at Zuo Cun blankly.

"Why... ran over at this time?"

"I'm here to take you away." Zuo Cun closed the door to prevent the cold wind from blowing in, and then sat on the floor at the door, "This place... can't stay anymore."

"What happened?" Chief Okita asked, still a little confused.

"The shogunate army was defeated by Toba Fushimi, and now it has retreated to Osaka, which is here." Zuo Village didn't hide it, and said everything as it was.

"...Fiasco..." Chief Okita sighed.

"I'll take you out of here, the war will burn here soon, it's not safe anymore."

"I..." Chief Director Okita wanted to refuse, but looking at Zuo Cun's serious eyes, he subconsciously agreed, "That's fine."

"Cough-cough-cough-cough-"

Zuo Cun hurried forward and patted Chief Okita on the back.

"You cough... you have to keep warm." Zuo Cun looked at Okita's thin body with regretful eyes.

"So where are you taking me...?" Mr. Okita threw the handkerchief aside and asked in a hoarse voice.

"An... old place." Zuo Cun couldn't help but smile a little.

"......I see."

"You lie down." Zuo Cun said to Okita.

"Huh? Oh." Chief Okita got into the bed and lay down.

Zuo Cun grabbed the mattress under Miss Okita's cup, and found a rope to tie it up.

"Ah? Zuo Cun? What are you doing?" Okita was startled.Valley

"I said it just now, you are ill now and it is inconvenient to move, so let me carry you on your back." Zuo Cun gave a tired smile and gave a thumbs up.

Chief Okita is now like a zongzi, only his face is exposed.

"Do you have anything else to pack?" Zuo Cun asked.

"...Bring my California Clear Light, it's hanging on the wall over there." Okita couldn't reach out his hand, so he could only pursed his lips.

"Okay." Zuo Cun took California Qingguang off the wall, pinned it on his waist, and then carried Miss Okita on his back.

Opening the door, the snowstorm outside seemed to have stopped as if seeing Miss Okita on Zuo Cun's back.

"Wait a minute, Zuo Cun, there is one more thing."

Okita lay on Zuo Cun's back and suddenly remembered something.

"what happened?"

"You go knock on the door of the room next to me."

Zuo Cun nodded and knocked twice on the door of the room next to Miss Okita.

"Zhengmu, I'm leaving, this is about to become a battlefield, you should leave quickly."

After saying this out loud, Miss Okita coughed twice.

Zuo Cun smiled and shook his head.

The legs gathered strength, Zuo Cun - jumped up.

......

The next day, before dawn.

Chief Okita fell asleep on Zuo Cun's back because of lack of physical strength.

Zuo Cun looked at the familiar village and breathed a sigh of relief.

The fire of war did not spread here.

Following the familiar road, Zuo Cun came to his hut.

Shiona was drying the quilt. It had been snowing a few days ago. It finally cleared up today. Naturally, she had to take the quilt out to dry it in the sun.

As soon as Shiona came out of the room with the quilt in her arms, she saw Zuo Cun carrying a big white thing, landing at the door.

Shiona was startled: "Mr. Zuo Village?"

"Shina, help me—open the door." Zuo Cun felt that his eyelids were heavy, as if he could fall asleep at any time.

He has not slept for three days in a row, and these days, he has been in a state of extreme anxiety.

He is very tired.

"Ah, okay!" Although Shiina didn't know what was going on, she quickly opened the door.
