131 Trial before the battle
Xiao Letian asked Xiang Shaolong to let him go. Although Master Long was a little worried, he also knew that at this moment, Xiao Letian had to face everyone as a strong man. Looking at Xiao Letian shaking on the spot, the soldiers around him subconsciously rushed over to support him.
"Don't touch me... let me stand by myself!" Xiao Letian raised his hand to stop the soldiers who wanted to surround him, and withdrew from the dizziness in his brain with his willpower.
Don’t blame Xiao Letian for being weak. There is no one in the world who just donated blood and went to the battlefield without resting for a while. In his previous life, Xiao Letian always leaned on the sofa after donating blood, ate biscuits and snacks, and could also tease the young and beautiful nurses.
Facing a chaotic battlefield, what is needed is the rapid operation of the brain, and when facing negotiations, it requires even more energy and concentration. Now Xiao Letian is confused in his mind, just like hypoglycemia, and he does not have the nutrient supply at all.
"Damn it, it would be great if there was a piece of chocolate. Now all I need is sugar, a lot of sugar..." Xiao Letian's whisper was heard by people around him. Please come more and faster chapters.
"Sir, what force do you want? Tell me clearly... Do you want sugar? Our specialty is sugar, and you can do as much as you want..." As he spoke, a group of soldiers rushed into the broken houses on both sides, rummaging through boxes and cabinets to find candy for adults to eat.
Xiao Letian smiled bitterly and looked at his subordinates plundering sugar for him, and sighed in his heart, "I guess the general who eats sugar first when he goes to the battlefield is the only one, right?"
Since ancient times, Naba’s first commodity was sugar. For hundreds of years, the sugar industry has been the lifeblood of maintaining the economy of the Ryukyu Kingdom. Almost every household in this city can find sugar. After a while, soldiers found half a jar of gray-white sugar and handed it to Xiao Letian.
After two mouthfuls of sugar were in their stomachs, the blood sugar concentration soon increased. The feeling of drowsiness in the brain was wiped out after getting enough nutrients. Xiao Letian handed the candy jar to the soldier, "Hold it to me, maybe I'll have two more puffs later." After that, he strided towards the Japanese concentration camp.
"Kiyuan, Takenaka Inoue... and that stupid Yamamoto Kiyoshi! Today I, Xiao Letian, stood in front of you, let me explain what you have. And you... I must give me an answer today, and I must have an answer for the riot tonight!"
As the broken and bloody Xiaozi Qiqi slowly approached the Japanese camp, the entire gathering area began to stir up abnormally. All the Japanese knew that it was the last moment, and life or death depended on the thoughts of these adults.
When Kurigen Kawayama saw Sakamoto Ryuma's look of killing, he knew that they had lost completely. From beginning to end, nothing was done right. The Shimazu family's old man knelt in front of Xiao Letian and Sakamoto Ryuma, and worshiped him at the entrance of the camp.
"Yamamoto Kiyoshi misjudged the situation. He was instigated by villains and acted like this unwise. I apologize for today's events... I know that apologies cannot make up for these dead lives. I am willing to use my life to apologize to you!" After saying that, the old man of the Huashan family stood up and bowed to Noheita.
"I know your swordsmanship is first-class. Can you make a mistake for me..." Noheita was stunned after hearing this, and subconsciously turned his head to look at Xiao Letian. Before Xiao Letian could speak, Yamamoto Kiyo jumped up. "I am the messenger of the whole thing, and it should be me who had a caesarean section. This has nothing to do with you. But I just wanted to ask the Lord of the Qing Kingdom in front of all the Japanese, what do you want to deal with us?"
Yamamoto Kiyoshi pointed at the 10,000 Japanese people behind him and said excitedly, "There are 100,000 Japanese people in Naha Port. Now you are locked in a concentration camp. There are two meals of porridge a day and there are endless hard work. We Japanese are not born slaves, so we will never let you do..."
"Fuck! Master Long slapped him, slapped him hard in the mouth, pointed a deer as a horse, and made a fucking trick. He still dares to hang out with me..."
Xiang Shaolong rushed forward and slapped over a dozen loud ears. Yamamoto's face suddenly turned into a pig's head, and blood flowed from the corners of his mouth and nostrils. Xiao Letian's sudden power frightened all the Japanese, for fear that the angry Qing soldiers would start massacre the city in the next second.
At this time, Ryuma Sakamoto, who had been silent, spoke, "Mr. Xiao, can you let me say a few words?" Xiao Letian nodded, and the sedan chair held by the two men walked in front. Ryumajun looked down at the kneeling Japanese.
"You did something wrong in today's conflict..." Sakamoto Ryuma's words brought sadness to the crowd. "I was indeed assassinated. The musket shot into my chest and almost went to see the Buddha. However, it was not Xiao Letian who assassinated me, but the Japanese!"
"Ah! How could it be..." The crowd exclaimed, and Yamamoto Kiyoshi wiped the blood from his face with his sleeve. "How is it possible? Did Lord Sakamoto be deceived..."
"Baga! Shut up..." Sakamoto Ryuma suddenly shouted, followed by a dizziness. "Why did Lord Xiao lie to me? Why did the Qing people kill me? Are you really brainless? Bring the evil hares up..."
At this time, several soldiers brought Eihara Rou, who was tied up in a big way. At this time, Eihara Rou was beaten so hard that he was no longer in human form.
"Ohachiro met the little ghost of Fumihide while running for his life. He provided muskets and ammunition for the damn woman. The little ghost of Fumihide approached me with disguise while I was negligent in the prevention and used disguise techniques to approach me. The assassination happened like this..."
"Impossible, Kirihiko is a ninja of the Shimazu family, and you are Ryuma-kun, the head of the Shimazu family respects. You are the ambassador of full authority. Why did he assassinate you?" Not only Yamamoto Kiyoshi couldn't figure it out, but even Kurito Kawayama and all the Japanese present were confused.
Xiao Letian gave No Heita a wink, and No Heita bowed knowingly and walked to the front, "Sir, and fellow countrymen from Japan, I can give you the answer to this question."
"The little ghost of the Mizuki family is not a ninja of the Shimazu family at all. This woman had been rebelled by the Tokugawa family last year. She is now the leader of the Shimazu family intelligence work in the new selection group. She has sent countless information to Kyoto, and the Shimazu family has been kept in the dark!"
"Nani!" All the high-ranking Japanese officials and middle- and low-level samurai were stunned. This news was too explosive. You should know that the Tokugawa family and the Satsuma family are now in power. One is unwilling to accept the fall of the shogunate, and the other is desperately trying to push the emperor to the throne. Japan is already on the verge of a civil war.
"As a wild samurai and a swordsman, I was deceived by the new selection group and joined for three days. It was these three days that made me know the essence of this group of people. They are all a group of madmen who only know how to kill. Their daily job is to search for all reformers and then formulate an assassination plan. I think everyone present who has been to Kyoto knows their daimyo..."
"And the most perverted thing is that this organization does not allow others to withdraw at all. Even though I had said before that I would conduct an investigation for three days before making a decision, this was not possible. From the moment I left, I encountered endless assassination. I ran south all the way to Ryukyu and did not escape their tracking..."
"The ninja led by the little ghost of Mizuki once attacked me. If the brave soldier hadn't come to save me, I would have died long ago..." Xiao Letian spoke as he said this.
"Do you understand now? You have become tools of the Tokugawa family. Everything that Xinxuan Group does is to kill your Shimazu family, make Naha's powder barrel explode more and more fiercely, and eventually collapse the foundation of your Shimazu family. You idiots have become tools in the hands of the enemy without knowing it, and they dare to ramble in front of me with shameless words..."
"Massacre? Do you think I am a beast like you? Wars should never be used to bully innocent people, and only trash-like madmen like you can attack civilians... How do you fucking ask me how to deal with you Japanese people? What did you think about when you were killing us Chinese people? Did you ever think about this day at that time?"
Xiao Letian's sharp eyes like a knife swept towards the Japanese people kneeling on the ground in the entire camp. None of the tens of thousands dared to face his eyes. More and faster chapters were invited. At that moment, Xiao Letian's blood was boiling, and he seemed to see the wronged souls of the Chinese people flying all over the sky.
"I am not a murderer, but I am not a bad person! From today on, I will give you Japanese ten days to take your life. Anyone who has killed Chinese and Ryukyu natives will surrender himself to pay for his life. I tell you, don't be lucky. If you dig out again in ten days, I will destroy your whole family..."
Xiao Letian was dizzy. He grabbed the candy jar and sniffed two more times. After gasping for a few heavy breaths, he sternly said, "From today on, I will make a household in Qimin. Ten Japanese households are a group, ten groups are a li, and ten miles are a district. All the team leaders are selected for me, and the village chief and district chief come out..."
"I will let you know what a joint seat is. If one family in a group dares to deceive me, ten households will kill him. If three groups in a group are deceiving, the head of the village will die. Similarly, if three people in a district have deceiving, the head of the district will die..."
"I will give you ten days to hand over all the thugs who have killed Chinese and indigenous peoples! This is your only way to live, remember that this is your only way to live..."
The murderous intent of the people present was so shocked that everyone on the back of their necks were cold. Smart people could see it at a glance that in such a method of continuation, there would be no fish that misdemeanors and severe punishments, and it would not be impossible to have a group of unjust cases.
However, this method of continuation can indeed protect the interests of many people who have not participated in the killing of Japanese people. Not all of them live in Naha. The vast majority of people just take advantage of the chaos to pick up some property, and many people even escape to the mountains and forests to hide.
It is estimated that only a thousand people who actually killed people with their own hands, and most of the rest were shaking flags and shouting.
Speaking of this, Xiao Letian recovered his emotions and looked at Rimeen Kawayama and said calmly, "Now we will talk about the remaining two thousand soldiers in your Shimazu family. I still said the same thing, the main evil must be dealt with, and the threat will be severely punished. As for the soldiers who completely obey orders, I really didn't think about what to do..."
Xiao Letian is very hesitant now. He can't kill all the two thousand feet of Shimazu family. The grassroots soldiers just obey orders, and the cause and effect of the incident was not theirs. Although they killed the Chinese military and civilians in the war, the main crime was still on the officers.
It is more difficult to deal with these soldiers than those who kill people. Because the thugs are composed of loose people after all, and when they start killing people, their hearts are already full of evil thoughts. These thugs want to kill people, but they also kill people with their own actions. The evil causes and consequences are all on him alone, and there will be no controversy if they kill them.
But the army is very complicated. This is an organization that strictly obeys orders. No matter what these soldiers think, their behavior is not something they can decide.
To put it simply, the hands of the thug are determined by the thug's own heart, while the hands of the soldiers who kill people can only be determined by the officers. This is the reason why only the officers are judged and the soldiers are let go after wars in history.
All the generals present heard the hesitation in Xiao Letian's words and saw the hope of soldiers' survival. Many middle-level officers rushed out of the crowd and knelt in front of Xiao Letian.
