In Order to Become a Heroic Spirit, I Had to Do Things in History

Zuamura returned to the area around Toba Fushimi.

The flames of war have burned the earth beyond recognition.

There are still many remains of the soldiers on both sides of the road. Zuo Cun walked on the road and sighed involuntarily when he saw the tragic situation on both sides of the road.

He is not sighing at the death of these people, but sighs that Ryoma's truest wish has been unable to be fulfilled.

That unrealistic good-natured man, whose idea was to complete the handover of power without bloodshed, has to be said to be a bit naive, and also—desirable.

No dream is worth laughing at, let alone such a dream.

On the road, they encountered a team of soldiers from the Satsuma domain who were patrolling, and the pedestrians automatically retreated to both sides to welcome the soldiers.

Zuo Cun smiled slightly.

The shogunate is completely unpopular, and no matter what they do, it is just a pointless struggle.

Speeding up, Zuo Cun returned to the barracks.

......

Zuo Cun returned to the barracks, and happened to meet the ceremony of Xixiang Shenglong's honoring and expedition.

He didn't stop to watch, but returned to his tent somewhat disheartened.

I am somewhat useful, so I don't have a tent.

Not long after Zuo Cun returned to his tent, two men in general-style armor walked into his tent.

"Shannan, Okada." Zuo Village softly called their names.

Shannan Jingsuke looked at Zuo Cun, took off his helmet, and sighed.

"After that Sakamoto Ryoma died, the sky changed."

Okada Izo and Zuo Village both bit their lips and said nothing.

"We were assigned to the front line, Zuocun, you should know what this means." Shannan Jingsuke looked sad.

"...Sorry." Zuo Cun looked blank, but he didn't dare to look at the two people.

The front line is the place where the greatest sacrifice is made, and the few cronies in Zuo Village are arranged there...

"It's not you who's wrong, and it's not you who should apologize." Jingsuke Shannan patted Zuo Cun on the shoulder, "You should cheer up and don't worry about our safety."

"It's you who should be more careful, Zuo Village." Okada Yizo hugged his chest, "Although your strength is very strong, but... I still hope you can be careful."

"I don't want you... to be the next Ryoma."

Zuo Village stood up and hugged Okada Izo and Yamanami Keisuke.

"Thank you, I know my current situation."

Shannan Jingsuke sighed and patted Zuocun on the back.

......

The war has started again.

In the middle area between Kyoto and Osaka, Saigo Shenglong intercepted the soldiers of Kuwana clan.

Under the siege and interception, Kuang Mingfan was forced to surrender under the pressure of the Eastern Expedition Army. He chose to abandon the shogunate's position and declared neutrality.

The shogunate, which had lost the support of the Kuwana domain, was not even able to form an effective resistance in Osaka.

Hurry up and hurry. In March, Mikawa fell, and the Tokugawa family lost their ancestral land.

The shogunate army retreated to the towns of Koshu and Shinshu.

At this time, the interior of the shogunate was already in a panic.

Ie Shigeru Tokugawa was no longer able to control the situation, and he took his trusted officers and soldiers to slip back to Edo by sea by boat.

Muchen Sheng Haizhou ordered the Shinsengumi to meet the Eastern Expedition Army in Jiazhou Town.

Unlike the chaotic shogunate, the morale of the new government army is high and it is marching forward.

Not only the military force has begun to crush the shogunate army, but also many non-governmental organizations assist the Eastern Expedition Army.

The most famous one is the "Red Report Team" headed by Xiangle Zongsan.

They helped the new government army cross the moat and enter the Kanto Plain.

The new government army learned the location of the shogunate's troops through intelligence, and chose to divide the troops into two paths to attack Jiashu Town and Xinzhou Town respectively, intending to form a pincer-shaped offensive against the shogunate's old nest, Edo, after occupying the two nodes.

Zuo Village was incorporated into the attacking team of Jiazhou and participated in the raid on the town of Jiazhou.

Zuo Cun has been exhausted for the past two months.

His mood came to the bottom of the valley along with Okada's death in the Shinshu assault battle.

But during the Koshu assault, fate arranged a worse joke for Zuo Village.

......

Kyoto, Mibu Village.

"Cough-cough-cough-" After coming here, Mr. Okita sat in the same place almost every day, looking at the courtyard.

She was so sick that she couldn't walk too far now.

Dr. Ruslan came over once, but after helping Okita diagnose, he shook his head and left.

Chief Okita was not surprised by this, and did not take it to heart.

"Sister Okita, you got up very early today." Shiina took out the broom, looked at Er Okita sitting in the courtyard, and greeted with a smile.

"Good morning, Shiina--cough-cough-!" Okita started coughing as soon as he said a word.

Shiina hurried over and patted Okita on the back.

"I'll pour you a glass of hot water, there's no need to force yourself to speak."

Chief Okita looked at Shiina's back and fell into thought.

During this period of time living here, Mr. Okita felt extremely peaceful.

No longer deliberately avoid California Qingguang.

It's just that the body is weakening day by day and the vitality disappears day by day, which still makes Okita feel lonely and painful.

I don't want to die-

I'm still young - there's still a lot to do -

Such thoughts lingered in Okita's mind.

She couldn't convince herself not to grieve.

Shiina brought out a glass of warm water and handed it to Miss Okita: "Drink slowly."

"Thank you, Shiina."

Miss Okita obediently drank a glass of warm water.

She put her cup-holding hand on her lap and looked at the distant view.

"...Shina," she called softly.

"What's the matter, Okita-san?" Shiina raised her head.

"My life... there's not much left." She looked back at the cup in her hand.

There are only a few drops of water left in the cup, and it will be evaporated in a short time.

"Okita-san, you're thinking nonsense again." Shiina went to Okita's side, "You will definitely survive, so don't be sad, okay?"

Okita smiled and stroked Shiona's head.

"Zuo Cun is right, you are a good girl."

"In the last period of my life, I am very happy to have you with me."

Shiina tried her best not to show her sadness, but there was still a little tear in the corner of her eyes.

"Hey, Shiona, can I ask you one thing?"

Chief Okita took Shiina's hand and put it on his dry palm, "This may be my last request in this life."

"...You said, Okita-san." Shiina tried hard to control, not letting herself cry.

"You can make clothes, and you do them beautifully."

A blush appeared on Mr. Okita's pale face.

"Can you... help me."

"It's just one piece of Bai Wushou."

she asked with a smile.

Tears welled up in Shiina's eyes.

===Chapter 410 The Death of the Shogunate===

The Battle of Koshu Town ended quickly because of the overwhelming advantage of the new government.

In the Battle of Koshu Town, Shinsengumi, who was responsible for guarding this place and brought a lot of trouble to the new government forces during the Battle of Kuwana and the Battle of Toba Fushimi, was defeated.

The director of the Shinsengumi, Isamu Kondo, was captured alive, and the remaining two or three cats and kittens barely escaped.

Zuo Village walked into the cell where Isamu Kondo was being held.

No one stopped him.

Straight open the cell, Zuo Cun walked in with a bottle of wine.

Kondo was lying in the corner, facing the wall, and it was not too surprising to hear someone coming in.

"If you want to torture intelligence, please forgive me for not having any comments."

"I didn't come to torture you." Zuo Cun sat opposite Kondo Isao, his voice hoarse, "I just came to you for a drink."
