About This Novel
They are ordinary lower-level warriors, but with the great righteousness of "every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world", they abandon their homeland and go to other places. They transformed into assassins, hid in the dark, brandished their swords, and did not hesitate to stain their hands with blood, hoping to save the country from danger amid the surrounding powers. On March 3, the seventh year of Anzheng (1860), there was heavy snow. Naoki Ii, the shogunate who signed a trade treaty with the Americans, was assassinated by an assassin outside the Sakurada Gate of Edo Castle on his way to the city to meet the general. Subsequently, the idea of founding the country was drowned out by the voice of "rejecting the foreigners". The samurai came to Japan one after another, vowing to drive foreigners out of Japan. On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month of the first year of Meiji (1868), Emperor Meiji, who regained power, declared to the world that establishing diplomatic relations with friendly countries was an international justice and needed to be handled properly. I hope all people will remember this. This move cut off the last hope of the warriors who were looking forward to "repelling the foreigners". They became miserable abandoned children. The light of the sword bloomed in the dark night, and the song of the warrior was heard!
