Both boys and girls love Shinsengumi ..
Shinsengumi , which is also used in many anime and manga subjects ..
This time, the case where the Shinsengumi was suddenly made into a famous organization.
"Ikedaya Incident" I will introduce it in detail and in an easy-to-understand manner.
Shinsengumi is born in Kyoto!
Founded 1863-Abolished 1869 (Meiji 2) The Ikedaya incident occurs in 1864.
Activity is about 6-7 years What is it? It's as short as I expected.
What's more, it was active only for 3-4 years . It is.
In the second half, I've been fighting in war.
The reason for the formation is "Shogun's guard" heading from Edo to Kyo. , And "Kyoto's security" The Shogunate recruited and gathered people for the purpose of forming a "Shinsengumi" in Kyoto.
Most of them are ordinary people such as ronin and peasants who yearn for the status of samurai.
People who yearn for samurai had no choice but to join the Shinsengumi.
In addition to the Shinsengumi, there is another unit that protects the security of Kyoto, and later Ryoma Sakamoto . "Kyoto Mimawarigumi " is. The assassination of Ryoma is just a theory.
Unlike the Shinsengumi, the Kyoto Mimawarigumi is a elite group formed by great children and relatives. ..
It was guaranteed in all parts such as where to live, and the security points were near the great people.
The Shinsengumi is the security of the entertainment district. It is next to danger. The difference in status can be seen in this kind of place.
"Ikedaya Incident" when the Shinsengumi was inaugurated and couldn't make a name for about a year. Has happened.
Until the Ikedaya incident occurs!
The Choshu clan (currently Yamaguchi Prefecture), which has many radical ronin trying to defeat the shogunate, was banished from Kyo the year before the incident.
It is said that the Choshu clan is returning to Kyo with a plan to recover its power.
The Shinsengumi is a Choshu clan spy Charcoal firewood dealer Shuntaro Kodaka I will catch you.
Due to Mr. Kodaka's torture, "I set fire to the Gosho aiming for a windy day, assassinated the top of the shogunate in the turmoil, and took the emperor to Choshu" I got the confession.
(Shinsengumi Deputy Chief Hijikata Toshizo
The content of his torture is quite painful, so let's omit it with love. )
On the night of the same day, the Choshu clan, Tosa clan (currently Kochi prefecture), and Higo clan (currently Kumamoto prefecture) ronin will recapture Mr. Kodaka and a new meeting will be held somewhere to decide whether or not to execute the plan. The pair was located.
The whole picture of the Ikedaya incident!
June 5, 1864 PM 8:00 ..
The Shinsengumi waits for the arrival of a support team of 500 people from the Aizu clan (currently Fukushima Prefecture), who is their boss.
However, there is no sign of arriving at all after waiting.
There are only 34 Shinsengumi who are enthusiastic about their credit. Start searching in. In all ages, bosses are cautious and subordinates are activists.
Director General Isami Kondo 10 members, Deputy Chief, Hijikata Toshizo Search started with 24 members. The number of people is large because the area searched by Hijikata was thought to be the favorite.
The streets of Kyo at that time were narrow, and the lights were dim with only lanterns and candles in the house, so it was quite difficult to search. It seems that it was darker than I imagined.
And PM 10:00 ..
Kondo Corps Ryokan Ikedaya I found the Ronin in.
Mr. Kondo, who cannot wait for the Aizu clan, has only 10 people at Ikedaya who do not know how many ronin there are. Decide to attack with.
I thought that there was a chance of winning because it was an indoor battle, so the number of people did not matter, and the opponent would not know how many people there were.
Ikedaya is a two-story Nagaya with a depth of about 30m, and is an inn with 4 rooms on the 1st floor and 7 rooms on the 2nd floor.
According to the current calendar, it's about July, so it's quite hot and humid, and Mr. Kondo is seriously "I'm sorry to change your order!" The ronin who were in the back of the second floor noticed the Shinsengumi and turned off the lights. The inside of the room is already pitch black.
And the number of Ronin in Ikedaya was more than 20.
Soji Okita , who had a long relationship with 3 people at the entrance, 3 people at the back door, and Edo. (20?), Shinpachi Nagakura (25), Heisuke Todo (20) And Isami Kondo Four people (29) rush into Ikeda indoors.
Mr. Kondo and Mr. Okita run up to the 2nd floor, and Mr. Nagakura and Mr. Todo take on the Ronin who escaped to the 1st floor.
Hijikata was fighting with only four people for about an hour before it arrived.
Moreover, Mr. Okita, who had a tuberculosis illness, hematemesis on the way. Withdrawal from the front.
Mr. Todo was also alert and was cut off when he removed the forehead pad and left the front.
There will be only two people, Mr. Kondo and Mr. Nagakura.
And Mr. Nagakura also injured his hand. It is a big pinch of desperation.
The ronin escapes from the second floor to the three people who were guarding the back door.
All three were cut off by the spirit and one died. The two became seriously ill and died a month later.
Hijikata arrived at the disadvantage of the war situation. The situation has turned around.
The Aizu clan arrived after the battle. Mr. Hijikata did not let him approach even one step because his credit was not stolen.
With this incident, the Shinsengumi became famous.
It is said that the Meiji era was delayed by one year because many talented people who tried to defeat the Shogunate died due to the Ikedaya incident.
On the contrary, there is a theory that it was accelerated because it stimulated the Ronin in the opposite direction. Which one?
Leader of the Choshu clan Kogoro Katsura ( Kido Takayoshi , who later became a great man of the Meiji government ) Was also at Ikedaya, but it is said that he escaped from the difficulties because he returned early because he arrived early, even though he escaped to the roof at a glance when the Shinsengumi boarded.
"Nige no Kogoro" Because it has the nickname. Run away but win. There was such a person in the world of samurai.
Shinsengumi after that!
The Shinsengumi will be samurai's status because it prevented the burning of the Imperial Palace. .. He joined the ranks of the elite.
200 soldiers, who were more than 30 It has become a large household that exceeds the number of corps, and the position of what number corps begins to be assigned around this time.
However, this time is the most glitter of the Shinsengumi. It may be the time when I was doing it.
After that, division of soldiers, death of allies, purge of violators ..
After the Edo Shogunate disappeared, the war continued from Kyoto to Hakodate City, Hokkaido as the former Shogunate Army.
