One month and a half ago，new government soldiers came to the village of Oguri.

"I was abandoned the political activity already.
I live as a farmer.
I never rebel against the government."
Oguri had notified in advance to the new government troops.


"You're the mastermind behind the antigovernment activities of Kozuke."

Around this time，The Shogitai of Kan'eiji were becoming impossible to ignore.
The new government troops had just succeeded in recapturing Utsunomiya Castle.
