The Japanese nation is a nation that advocates order. No matter whether this order is reasonable or cruel, as long as order appears, they will obey it. Just like now, instead of waiting to die in fear of massacre, it is better to accept Xiao Letian's harsh conditions.

Isn’t it just sitting together? Isn't it just to make the murderer surrender? This request is so reasonable and reasonable. People have their own calculations in their hearts. Even if 100,000 Japanese die and 10,000 criminals die, aren't there still the majority left? What's more, the murderer should be punished, but Xiao Letian never mentioned the crime of the robber. It seems that Lord Shangguo will not pursue the case.

Therefore, instead of showing any resistance to Xiao Letian's punishment, the lower-class people were all smiling, thinking that they had survived the disaster safely. After all, there were only a very small number of murderers.

The counterpart to the untouchables were soldiers. Hearing the hesitation in Xiao Letian's words, those soldiers' hearts were in their throats. The Bushido spirit displayed by the Japanese immediately amazed all the Chinese Guard members present.

Almost all the middle and low-level samurai in the crowd stood up, and knelt down in front of the camp gate one by one, begging Nohira to give him a piece of cake, and imploring these pirates to correct their mistakes. When they saw the hesitation in the eyes of the pirates, they bowed to each other and said goodbye, hoping that the late dead would forgive the early dead.

"Gentlemen, we have been defeated. The defeated should have their belly disemboweled, so that the hatred between us will end in our lives!"

"After I die, please bury me where the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, and let my soul continue to protect the glory of the samurai..."

"Lord, let our blood wash away our sins, and use our lives to dissolve the anger in your heart... Please!"

Xiao Letian looked at the kneeling warriors in front of him, and felt as if his heart was shaking. Is this the spirit of a samurai? You can laugh so happily about death. Is having a caesarean section as easy as an outing?

In the chaos, no one noticed the strangeness of Yamamoto Kiyoshi. This military commander who was famous for his temper and irritability was now unusually calm. No, he is not calm. If you observe his eyes, you will find that the general who personally provoked the Naha Civil War is completely confused and stupid.

Yes, the faith in Yamamoto Kiyoshi's heart has collapsed now. Ever since he knew that the Kirigakure brat was actually an enemy of the master Shimazu family, all the persistence in Yamamoto Kiyoshi's heart collapsed instantly.

As a warrior, Yamamoto Kiyoshi is not afraid of war, let alone death, and he has no moral burden. Whether it is invasion or massacre of civilians, he doesn't care at all. In his eyes, the enemies are pigs and dogs, the untouchables are a group of victims, and there is nothing to ponder at all.

Isn't it just to kill some Chinese civilians? What's the big deal? When I was young, I used to test the knife on the untouchables in Japan. If the untouchables died, they would die.

Yes, in ancient Japanese law, the samurai class used untouchables to test their swords, and they did not bear any legal responsibility for killing untouchables. Many young warriors, after they have learned martial arts, will find a secluded alley to ambush. Once they find untouchables wandering around, they can draw their swords and kill them. This is the so-called sword test.

It is conceivable that it is not unusual for the Japanese who have been raised in this cultural background to carry out massacres and other things, because they really do not regard the lower class people as human beings. In their eyes, they are equal to untouchables. brute.

Yamamoto Kiyoshi is a typical Japanese samurai. His character has inherited almost all the dark thoughts of the samurai class. Some things that are against human nature are natural in the eyes of such people.

However, this kind of warrior has one advantage that is very commendable, and that is absolute loyalty. The samurai's mission is to be loyal to their master, which is the pride of all samurai. Although there were many rebellions in the history of Japan's Warring States Period, they only happened after samurai were promoted to powerful daimyo.

Before they received a fiefdom or were promoted to daimyo, the samurai group could be said to be fanatical in their loyalty to their lord. This is not only a culture, but also a benefit, because the relationship between the samurai, his family and the lord is mutually prosperous and mutually destructive. The consequences of abandoning a loyal warrior are not only his own death, but also his family's consequences. The horrific punishment is difficult for ordinary people to imagine.

Yamamoto Kiyoshi is a staunch follower of the Samurai Way, and his loyalty to the Shimadzu family is the axis and fundamental principle of all values ​​in his heart. In fact, all of Yamamoto Kiyoshi's actions extend from this axis. Whether it is contacting Evil Hachiro to attack Chinese people in the city, or burying gunpowder at the dock with the Kirigakure kid, whether these plans succeed or fail, they have always revolved around Shimazu. formulated for the benefit of the family.

But now, a dramatic turn was like a tachi cutting off the axis of his heart. The brave warrior suddenly looked like a cramped dog. His body remained unchanged but his spirit was completely paralyzed.

"How could this happen? The Kirigakure kid turned out to be the Tokugawa family's Hosaku, and she was actually the enemy's ninja. How could I be so stupid, how could I be fooled? It doesn't matter if I kill myself, but if I harm the Shimazu family, I, I I...I can't atone for my sins even if I am shattered to pieces..."

Thinking of this, Yamamoto Kiyoshi suddenly shouted "Ah!" He raised his legs and rushed forward. The soldiers around Xiao Letian were so frightened that they even raised their muskets, thinking that he was going to assassinate the Lord.

Sakamoto Ryoma quickly stopped these soldiers, "Don't fire, he is here to find me..." At this time, Yamamoto Kiyoshi had already rushed in front of Sakamoto Ryoma, and he bowed deeply, "Ryoma-sama, please grant me a favor!"

"Have you made up your mind? Have you ever thought twice? Is this your last choice?" Sakamoto Ryoma leaned over and sat up, staring at him seriously and asked.

"Hai...I am so stupid. I have hurt the Qing Dynasty and the Shimazu family, and I have become a pawn of the enemy. If I don't die, I won't be able to deter future generations. I have made up my mind!"

Ryoma Sakamoto picked up the Ribashi beside him and threw it, then grabbed the long sword and threw it to Rigen Kayama: "Take it, he is your subordinate, you should correct him..."

Kayama Rigen knew that there was no room for recovery. He pulled out his sword and shouted to Yamamoto Kiyoshi with tears in his eyes, "Yamamoto-san, my sword is very fast and my hand is very steady. Don't worry!"

Yamamoto Kiyoshi smiled and nodded to Rigen Kayama to express his thanks, and then he knelt down to meet Xiao Letian's gaze. He pulled the kimono hard with both hands and exposed his entire chest in front of Xiao Letian.

"Sir Kamikuni, Yamamoto Kiyoshi apologizes to you, please forgive me for my stupidity...ah!" Yamamoto Kiyoshi yelled and pulled out the short rib, pointing the sharp tip of the knife at his abdomen.

"Ah..." The rib in Yamamoto Kiyoshi's hand pierced his abdomen hard, and bright red blood flowed out immediately. It was the first time for many people present to see the legendary seppuku, and many women and children were frightened and fainted on the spot.

What is important in seppuku is to look at death with a calm attitude, without crying out for pain or crying. The most popular form of caesarean section is to cut out a beautiful and neat cross yourself, and then you can correct the mistake.

Jie Cuo means beheading, because caesarean section is a very painful way to die. After all, this is not the key point. If it was just the abdominal wound, the person would probably struggle for five or six hours without dying. This kind of pain is unbearable for anyone. of.

Therefore, there must be other warriors to correct the mistake and cut off the head as quickly as possible after the disembowelment ceremony is completed, so that the disembowelment recipient will suffer less pain.

Tears burst into Kashan Riyuan's eyes. Yamamoto Kiyoshi was his most beloved general and was promoted by him. How could he not be sad if he died here today?

At this time, Yamamoto Kiyoshi's whole face was covered with beads of sweat as big as soybeans. He was in so much pain that a half-foot-long wound had been cut in his lower abdomen from top to bottom, and the internal organs and intestines inside were leaking out. But Yamamoto Kiyoshi still persisted, and his hand was still so steady.

"Bless me, Amaterasu... bless my martial arts fortune for a long time..." Gritting his teeth and roaring, Yamamoto Kiyoshi crossed the blade of the ribs in his hand, changing from vertical to horizontal. "Ah!" Yamamoto Kiyoshi suddenly exerted force from left to right, and a horizontal wound appeared in front of everyone.

At this time, the surrounding Japanese samurai were already excited. They knelt down in front of Yamamoto Kiyoshi one by one and kept roaring.

"Beautiful, so beautiful... Yamamoto-kun is worthy of being a warrior... Your soul, Amaterasu, will definitely take care of you... Have a good journey, Yamamoto-san..."

At this time, even Nohira Tai and the pirates knelt in front of Yamamoto Kiyoshi, and they all solemnly bowed to the ground. "Although you and I are enemies, you are still a respectable samurai!" After saying this, a group of people They all kowtowed to the ground.

Xiao Letian was dumbfounded now. Only then did he realize the horror of the Bushido spirit. These people really believed in killing and death as the first creed in life. Xiao Letian suddenly felt nauseated when he looked at the bloody caesarean section. He didn't know why. He was no longer the first brother on the battlefield. He had seen scenes a hundred times bloodier than this one, but he still felt nauseated today. nausea.

"Xiao... Mr. Xiao... please be kind... to the Japanese people..." Yamamoto Kiyoshi finally completed the last cut. He shouted with relief, "Master Huashan... I... did I cut beautifully?"

Kaguyama Rigen burst into tears. He raised his tachi high and shouted, "Beautiful, this is the most beautiful caesarean section I have ever seen! Way to go, Yamamoto-kun...ah!" With a roar, he slashed down the tachi like a sword. , the blade accurately cut into the gap between the spinal joints, and Yamamoto Kiyoshi's head rolled to the ground without any effort.

Now not only Xiao Letian was dumbfounded, but even the veterans of the Heavenly Kingdom who had fought hundreds of battles were dumbfounded. For example, although Yi Wang Shi Dakai had seen countless murderous scenes in the war, he used an almost religious ritual like this. I have never seen anyone commit suicide to defend the way in his heart.

"A terrible nation, a terrible warrior way..." King Yi whispered subconsciously.

Yamamoto Kiyoshi's death seemed to open an emotional valve. The middle-level samurai suddenly tore off their kimonos and exposed their bellies. They picked up ribs from Yamamoto Kiyoshi's hands, and asked for ribs from Nohira and the others. There were ten people in a row. They all knelt down in front of Xiao Letian.

"Lord Shangguo, we also participated in this riot, and we are also guilty... I hope our blood and lives can calm the anger in your heart... Ah!" The ten people roared, and their ribs collectively went into their stomachs, and the smell of blood hit their faces. Come.

"Please, sir...please help us correct our mistakes..." Ten faces distorted by pain appeared in front of Xiao Letian's eyes. The first ray of sunlight from the east shone on their faces, showing waves of strangeness.

"Have a good way... a good way... a good way!" Rigen Kayama, Noheita, and even Takenaka Inoue walked up, swords flashing with a strange light, and the heads of young warriors were engulfed one after another. Cut it down.

One row, two rows, three rows... When the fourth row of warriors knelt down in front of Xiao Letian, and when the thirty-one warriors had lost their heads, Xiao Letian finally couldn't bear the pressure and shouted.

"Stop! Just fucking stop it... From now on, no one is allowed to have a caesarean section without my permission! Grandma, you are cruel, you are forcing me to death!"

"Okay, you win, I will spare the lives of the two thousand ashigaru. After all, they are just soldiers who obey orders... As for the remaining samurai, you should wait for my trial quietly!"

After saying that, Xiao Letian turned around and left. When he passed by Sakamoto Ryoma, he suddenly whispered, "Did you arrange this a long time ago? Is this death scene specially prepared for me? You are cruel enough. This Is this how you repay the favor of saving your life?"

Sakamoto Ryoma didn't say anything, but looked at Xiao Letian's back with shame and didn't leave for a long time.
