Even if Daigo Kyoya forgot, Matsudaira Yoho, the lord of the Aizu domain, hadn't.When he left Kyoto, he accepted Isamu Kondo's request to promote the Shinsengumi to the shogunate and join the Mihuizumi.

"This is really troublesome," Daigo Kyoya sighed, "I am determined to kill the Tokugawa shogunate." But the Shinsengumi turned around and became a shogunate.

"It's okay," Okita Souji said dryly, "I won't be surprised if you want to kill Mr. Hijikata the next moment."

"How did you know I wanted to kill Hijikata-san?"

"How dare you say that in front of my face!"

"No way, Mr. Hijikata is still enough to be called a famous general in later generations. Since he is a famous general on the side of the Tokugawa shogunate, it is better to die early."

"What a joke!"

Forget that the Shinsengumi is also just a joke.As the current situation becomes more and more complicated, it is true that the Shinsengumi is becoming less and less important.There are only a hundred of them, and they are easily ignored as ordinary combat units in an establishment of tens of thousands.Although their combat effectiveness is outstanding, soldiers are soldiers and are nothing more than cannon fodder.

Daigo Kyoya simply built a simple database and a strategy game-like model, entered the changes in the current situation, and adjusted the countermeasures step by step according to the analyzed strategies.With Okita Souji controlling the field, time is sped up, many events are fast forwarded, and only certain key points that must be personally involved are removed.When he was overwhelmed, the only thing he could trust was Toujian Fusangshin, so his Toujian Fusangshin were unlocked one by one.

"It doesn't look like a Ronin team, it's a comedian team," Takamori Saigo, who was drawn in, looked at the members of Mirage, speechless, "It's too conspicuous."

Akizuki Teijiro smiled and said, "Perhaps it caused more trouble than it solved."

"It's come to this point, there's no need to keep a low profile." Sakamoto Ryoma looked very happy, "Isn't it pleasing to the eye?" He also made a good friend named "Mutsu Yoshiyuki", and they hit it off very well.

"Yes, there is nothing wrong with it." Daigo Tadaka's contact person is Hirano Toshiro, and he is also very satisfied with this child.Of course, he hasn't realized until now that Daigo Kyoya tricked his father. "As long as it helps the establishment of the new government, who cares what their faces look like."

As it turns out, it does help tremendously.When meeting for the first time, everyone is looking at the face, and then the strength.If the face cannot leave a good impression on people, the follow-up will be more troublesome.

A year later, Iemo Tokugawa was seriously ill, and the royal families of Kishu, Mito, and Owari, who had the right to inherit, each introduced a new heir.Fortunately for the first two, Owari Tokugawa, who has always been squeezed out and suppressed, is completely going through the motions. He is already preparing to launch a mutiny with the Satsuma clan.

"I hate assassination in the name of Tenchu," Daigo Kyoya shook his head, "but when it's time to use it, I won't reject it either."

"You are really good at intensifying conflicts," Yaken Toshiro raised his eyebrows, "Aren't you afraid to play off?"

"Don't be afraid, Himura Kenshin is very useful," Ye Hao said, it's really rare to use his personality as a killer, "because the war must be fought early. The Tokugawa shogunate has long been rotten. Only by detonating the war in advance, the Only by destroying his foundation can all the shortcomings be exposed, leading to a situation like the Warring States Period."

"And at this time, the Aizu Domain and the Ou Domains have also maintained sufficient strength."

"As long as you don't cross the river and tear down the bridge like Mr. Gui." Mutsu Mori Yoshiyuki remembered the man who cut Kawagami Yansai. In history, this guy was determined to fight against barbarians. After the establishment of the new government, Katsura Kogoro casually found him. An excuse to kill.

"That must have the status and needs." This time, if He Shangyanzhai still firmly opposes the reform, there will naturally be others who are afraid of his skill and want to deal with him.

This incident, like that of the Red Report Team, reflects the ridiculousness of the new government in history, and proves that things like those in power are equally despicable no matter what the system is.

At this time, Okita Souji had already started to get sick, and the aura of tuberculosis was very obvious.Dr. Matsumoto is a man, not a god, and there is no way to cure this kind of tuberculosis.

There are three years left.

In three years, Tokugawa Iemo finally died of illness, and the battle between Kishu and Mito was bloody.But soon, there was no time for them to fight, because Satsuma finally turned against him.It is not easy for the Aizu domain to make a move at this time, the general has not yet been selected, and Matsudaira Rongbao has no choice but to make a move.Even the emperor couldn't be selected, the palace families and the emperor's blood were too far apart.Due to the fanning of the mirage and the fact that the imperial palaces were all burned down and were being rebuilt, there was a funny situation where each feudal clan supported an emperor.

To be precise, there are now four emperors and three generals, none of whom obey each other.

"So, the emperor, the general, don't forget about them all," Daigo Kyoya shrugged, "At first, everyone didn't really care about them, right?"

"What you want to say is that there is no emperor or general in Aizu Domain, right?" Okita Souji couldn't help but glared at him.

"Kyoya, Chief, don't move around!" Hijikata Toshizo stepped forward and hit the two of them with a cigarette butt, "We're taking pictures!"

The two had no choice but to shut up and sit upright.They turned out the light onion-colored haori that they hadn't worn for a long time, and put on makeup on Souji Okita so that it would not be obvious at a glance that he had lost his health.

With a "click", a black and white photo was taken.

"It takes a week to develop a photo," Sato Natsuo from the photo studio said with a smile, "Excuse me, can the guest ask me to develop one more photo and put it in the Ban Xia Sheng Hall?"

"Ban Xia Health Hall?"

"Yes, it's the photo studio opened by me," Sato Natsuo said with pride when he mentioned it, "beautiful men like you are rare, and I can't help but want to keep them as souvenirs."

"Okay," Daigo Kyoya nodded with a smile, "I'm sorry to trouble you."

"No trouble, no trouble."

A week later, the photos were developed and delivered to them.The black-and-white composition makes the portrait elegant and solemn, and even Daigo Kyoya, who has always been out of place, seems to have blended into this era.

However, the moment Mutsu Mori Yoshiyuki saw the photo, he was in a daze.

"So that's how it is," he murmured, "So it's here."

"What's wrong?"

"This old photo... I saw it at a dojo in the Heisei era," Mutsu Mori Yoshiyuki pointed to a photo of Daigo Kyoya and Okita Souji, "I thought he was your ancestor. I didn't expect... ..."

"It's me."

Daigo Kyoya and Okita Souji looked at each other.

"This is really... an incredible fate."

But this is just a small section, so it can only be put aside for now.The overall situation has undergone earth-shaking changes. The Ouyu Alliance led by the Aizu Domain appeared and opposed the rebels led by the Satsuma Domain from north to south.With the efforts of Akizuki Tejiro, Katsu Kaishu left the shogunate and joined the Aizu Domain.The Oyu Federation has recruited a large number of comprehensive founding factions headed by Ryoma Sakamoto.

As time passed, the army in the north became stronger and stronger, and the battle situation was tilted towards the Oyu Federation, and it was about to win——

Then things got out of hand like a wild horse.

"Why does Matsudaira-sama still want to support the Tokugawa shogunate!" California Kiyomitsu couldn't understand, "Is he addicted to playing puppet politics! And these supporters, why don't they have any enterprising spirit at all? It will cause the country to continue to be divided, are there any pitfalls in the head!"

"Most people only want to maintain the status quo," Yamato Shouan sighed, "otherwise, why was the idea of ​​respecting the king and rejecting barbarians so popular at the beginning?" It's not that they want to drive away foreigners and enjoy themselves in seclusion.

Director Okita was dying of illness, but his spirit was still uplifted. He laughed and said, "Kyoya, are you surprised?"

"Yeah, super surprise," Daigo Kyoya's face darkened, "However, planning this kind of thing requires a certain error tolerance rate from the beginning."

Of course, he has back-ups, and his original intention is to prevent the accidental death of Master Matsudaira.Unexpectedly, it was the soul of Aizu people who became a stumbling block in the end.The people of Aizu are really hard-headed.

The ancestors of the Aijin vassals left a family motto: "The manner of a majesty, one-hearted and devoted, can be loyal and hard-working, and can't follow the example of other countries. If you have two hearts, you will not be my descendants. You can't do it face to face."

It means, "The Aizu domain exists to protect the general's family, so it can only be loyal and diligent, and cannot treat itself like other enfeoffed countries. If a vassal lord betrays, he is considered a descendant of my family, and the retainers cannot follow."

But at this point, although Matsudaira Rongbao accepted the promotion of the shogunate and bit the bullet to launch a general whom no one knew well, the other feudal clans really couldn't accept it.There is no way, Akizuki Tejiro, who is close to the mirage, had to try his best to support people who are friendly to the Aizu domain.You must know that the Aizu domain also has ambitions. Facing the temptation to unify Japan, they are willing to make sacrifices, but Matsudaira Rongbao acquiesced in this matter.

It won't work if you don't acquiesce, because the goal of centralization was there from the very beginning, the personnel composition of the Oyu Federation is not assigned by the feudal lords, but those who can.So in the end, Takamori Saigo, who was born in Satsuma, became the supreme leader.His status is unique. On the one hand, he can be used to appease the crippled Satsuma, and on the other hand, he can rely on himself as the elder of the Matsudaira Restoration.No one is more suitable than him.

After Xixiang Takamori came to power, he set up a cabinet and vigorously promoted the abolition of feudal clans and the establishment of counties. Everything was not much different from the Meiji Restoration.However, the shogunate is gone, the emperor is gone, and its political system has changed from a constitutional monarchy to a democratic republic.There is even no order to abolish the sword. There are only orders to collect soldiers from all over the world, control iron mines, and increase iron prices, which gently limit the combat effectiveness of the warrior class through commercial means and prevent riots.They almost confronted the Aizu clan at one time, but fortunately, Matsudaira Rongbao was more reasonable, and did not dare to continue to procrastinate and provoke the aggression of foreign powers. They both made some compromises, so the Chinese still appeared.

History has moved in an elusive direction.

"That's...not bad." Okita Souji was dying, his cheeks were thin, and he couldn't sleep at night due to the pain.His death means that a new reincarnation is about to begin, but this time, he intends to end the matter. "Would the country be better off?"

"Who knows?" Daigo Kyoya shook his head, "This kind of thing can only be judged by the people of this era. There is only one thing for sure."

"A newly born country cannot meet everyone's expectations. The reality is not an ideal country, and most people will be disappointed."

As time passed, the Shinsengumi inevitably fell apart.First was Keisuke Yamanan, then Heisuke Todo, and then Kanryasai Takeda. Several members of their family still got together with Kokotaro Ito and left the team to join the Royal Tomb Guards.The contradiction between Nagakura Shinpachi and Kondo Isamu was highlighted, and he also led Harada Sanosuke to set up another company.

After several wars, theoretically, all the damned people died, and some people even died earlier than in history, such as Hijikata Toshizo, the deputy commander of the ghost, who died of wound infection after being shot.War is not to be underestimated, and death cannot be controlled.

"...Unfortunately, Mr. Kondo and Mr. Hijikata can't see it."

"I'm not sorry for their deaths," said Daigo Kyoya grimly. "This is war."

"At least this time, the Shinsengumi won't be regarded as the enemy of the court and humiliated in every possible way," Okita Souji murmured, "Thank you for showing me another possibility."

After opening and closing his eyes, Souji Okita, who was lying on the hospital bed, breathed a sigh of relief.

The thick shadow transpired, dyeing the walls into light gray, creating a sound barrier.Time paused again, and they stood on the clouds again.

Smoky and miasma filled the air, and a long river appeared in front of them.The four walls are stained with dim yellow color, and each cyclone wraps around bright spots, one ebbs and the other ebbs and flows.Fragile voices with hollow echoes, dead silence and desolation linger in the heart, this is the ballad of the dead.

Led by Prince Liangzi of Gui Gong, a half-corrupt and half-beautiful goddess appeared in front of them.Dressed in richly shaped gowns, she looked strange and dignified.

This is the goddess of filth in the underworld, Izanami.
