Satsuma clan will finally help the shogunate army, which can be said to be expected and beyond reason.

Although Saigo Takamori, who had begun to grasp the power of the vassal, was undoubtedly the downfall faction, but the Changzhou vassal was clearly in a situation where it was impossible to win, which made the Satsuma vassalty speculatively choose the shogunate side in the change of the forbidden gate.

It was a wise, albeit less glamorous, choice.

After the vassals of the Changzhou clan paid the price of blood and finally broke through the blockade of the shogunate army and rushed into the emperor's palace, the Satsuma clan, as a squirrel catching cicadas, took the Changzhou clan, which was already at the end of its strength, and sold them to the shogunate army separately. A big favor with the emperor, and achieved the greatest victory.

With the dawn that ended the night, Dongya and Liangxia who were nearby were able to have a panoramic view of all this.

But they didn't see the end, because a figure had already appeared in front of the two of them.

"Master Toya."

"Diarmuid, is there any news?" Fuyumi asked.

In this era, there are no convenient communication tools such as telephones, and the only way to pass messages is through word of mouth between people.

In many cases, he kept Diarmuid in this hall because of this. There is no Diarmuid who can run faster than Agility A++, and the connection between the master and the servants allows him to sense his own existence at any time. Any news can be delivered in time.

"Yes, the Changzhou clan has begun to retreat. During the retreat, they set fires everywhere in Kyoto in an attempt to disrupt order. These small disturbances have been extinguished by Anpingya in time, but before they left, they also lit the Changzhou clan's mansion, and the fire there was short-lived. It’s hard to extinguish it.”

"Changzhou feudal mansion?" Fuyumi suddenly turned his head and looked in that direction. The sun had not yet risen, and the black smoke from the previous flames was covered by the night, and did not appear until this moment.

In fact, the attack on the Imperial Palace was also the last struggle of the Changzhou Fan. After the last blow failed to achieve results, the Changzhou Fan's troops around Kyoto began to retreat.

It would have been better if the soldiers of the Changzhou Clan were just setting fires on the streets of Kyoto. The Anpingya patrol team, who had been prepared and raised their vigilance, rushed to extinguish the flames before these small flames ignited, and then launched Other civilians were extinguished even if the fire was reported.

The soldiers of the Changzhou Domain lit the fire to create a disturbance to escape, and it was impossible to run back and set it off again. This would basically solve 99% of the fire problems in Kyoto.

However, the flames ignited by the Changzhou feudal mansion happened to be 1% out of the control of the Anping House.

The so-called vassal mansions are the footholds of various vassals scattered throughout the territory in Kyoto.

The mansion of the Changzhou Domain is the headquarters of the Changzhou Domain in Mingmian, Kyoto. Although the Anpingya can patrol the streets, it is impossible to manage it in other people's mansions. There is nothing to be done about the hooliganism that set the fire on fire.

The water tanks, water bladders and other items equipped in the Anping House are still useful for small fires. When the flames ignite the entire Changzhou Mansion and start to spread to the surrounding area, the raging fire can no longer be controlled.

Without much hesitation, Fuyuya ordered: "Diarmuid, tell Kagemaru to keep everyone on hold, so as not to be taken advantage of by the remnant soldiers of the Changzhou clan who set fire everywhere, and only dispatch the patrol team near the residence of the Changzhou clan to gather at the fire site .”

"——Already notified." Diarmuid nodded. He is not a fool who only executes the order of the lord. He has long considered the possible decision of Fuyuya.

"Very well, let's go and have a look now!"

Fuyuya showed a slight smile. What he was most worried about was that Kagemaru would get hotheaded and call all Anheya houses in Kyoto to put out the fire. Not to mention that the patrols farther away would arrive slowly, and it would also create a vacuum for the defensive forces, and put out the fire. It would be meaningless if the flames of the mansion were extinguished and another place was set on fire.

Embracing Liang Xia again, Dongya and Diarmuid headed towards the Changzhou domain mansion.

Fortunately, there was no traffic jam in this era, and they quickly approached their destination.

Before seeing the mansion of the Changzhou Clan, one could see the flames dancing in the darkness before dawn, and the surrounding air became hotter.

When Toya arrived, he saw a few samurai with the sign of Anheiya, holding water pipes connected to a huge leather water bag hanging from a higher place nearby, towards the burning house Spraying water, this is the original fire hose, but compared to the raging flames, these sprayed water jets seem so ineffective.

Kagemaru Kehei was also there, directing some civilians to carry water from the nearby river into leather water bags, and many residents with restless faces were watching.

During the command, Kagemaru turned his head and wiped the hot sweat from his forehead, only to realize that they had arrived: "General, miss, you are here, the fire has been brought under control."

Fuyuya's face was a bit serious, "No... Kagemaru, it's not okay if this continues, the fire will spread, have you considered what will happen if the wind blows?"

The residence of the Aizu domain cannot be connected with the private houses, but stands alone in a corner of Kyoto.

At first glance, it seems that Anpingya's fire fighting operations and the burning mansion have reached a balance - although the water flow cannot completely extinguish the flames, it seems that the flames cannot reach other houses separated by streets and alleys. Next Just wait quietly for the flames to burn everything that can be burned in the mansion.

But all of this is based on the fact that there is no wind at all before the mansion is burned down. However, this is impossible. The summer in Kyoto is hot and humid, accompanied by the southeast monsoon. Once the wind blows, the wind will blow the flames to the surrounding houses At that time, it will be too late to make amends.

Kagemaru looked stunned, obviously he really hadn't thought about this question.

Dongya didn't go on talking, and patted him on the shoulder, signaling him to continue to instruct the firefighting, then jumped up, jumped onto a relatively high roof, took a deep breath and shouted loudly to the surroundings: "Everyone, I am Toya Ishitani, owner of Anheya-"

It has to be said that this brand is now the most effective time. The people of Kyoto, who were in a panic, have already used it as a temporary backbone after the fire was put out by the people of Anpingya. When they heard the name of Anpingya, they immediately Gathered over.

"Everyone listen to me—now the fire in the Changzhou feudal mansion is under control, but this is only temporary. If there is a wind blowing, the flames will follow the wind and burn to other surrounding houses. At that time, it will be difficult to control .”

Hearing Dongya's words, there was an uproar and screams, and after a short period of confusion, an old man who looked old but still in good spirits came out, leaning on a cane and said: "—Master Ishitani, what do you want us to do? "

The old man's voice was not loud, but other people's voices stopped when he spoke, and he seemed to be a wise man with great reputation nearby.

"It's very simple, tear down the houses around the mansion and build a isolation zone."

Fumi thought for a while, worried that there would still be short-sighted people who would not be willing at this time. After all, the turmoil he mentioned hadn't happened yet, it was just a possibility, although the probability of this possibility happening was very high.

So he added another sentence: "—the demolished house will be compensated by our Anping House afterwards!"

The old man shook his head, and when Dongmi was in a hurry, he heard him say: "You are thinking about us wholeheartedly, how dare we let Anpingwu bear the loss."

"That's right, that's right!" "Master Shigu, please feel free to demolish it!" "It's just a few houses, let's help our neighbors build them again!"

Many people in the crowd immediately responded together.

The old man stomped his cane, and the crowd calmed down again, before he said: "Then, please don't mind ordering these worthless boys!"

After receiving this letter of approval, Fuyumi finally laughed, "Thank you very much, old man!"
