What is Sekihotai?

Well, i thought you guys would like to know what Sekihotai is, so he is a little explination on it:

The Sekihotai (赤報隊, Sekihōtai) was a group of Japanese political extremists in the Bakumatsu,
the Japanese civil war in the 1860's. The Sekihoutai had three units
and Sagara Souzou was the captain of the first unit. The captain of the
Sekihoutai's second unit was the former captain of the Shinsengumi's ninth unit, Suzuki Mikisaburo.
The Sekihotai traveled the countryside spreading news about the
upcoming change of regime. The Meiji government had made promises such
as tax cuts that could not be kept, so they blamed it on the Sekihotai,
calling them a 'false army.' While Sagara and members of the first unit
were arrested and sentenced to death, Suzuki and the second unit
continued to serve the Ishin Shishi. As for the members of third unit,
many were executed due to their plundering behavior.
