Chapter 629: Let the Great General See Your Loyalty
The Satsuma clan knew from top to bottom that they would lose, but they never imagined that they would lose so quickly and so miserably. Nearly 30,000 enemy troops had landed as if no one had landed, and the defenses of Kagoshima Castle were in ruins, and the Satsuma warriors, who could not resist the Manchurian army, had to retreat to Senmei Temple, and then protect Shimazu Tadayasa and retreat further in the hope of fighting again in the future.
The retreat of Kiyotaka Kuroda and Yasuke Oyama preserved the last bit of the essence of the Satsuma Domain, leaving some seeds for the recovery of the Satsuma Domain. But they left in too much hurry, not to mention bringing a small and soft family, they didn't even leave a word. The children of the Satsuma clan and the wives and children of the Satsuma warriors all took off their guards and were placed in front of the Manchurian army like lambs.
Whether it is the inner city, the outer city, or any castle town, only mercenaries are stationed, and the fourth and eleventh divisions all stay outside the city with great grace, leaving the benefits to the mercenaries. Moreover, the 4th and 11th Divisions are a bit high-spirited, not only do they not compete for fat, but they also occupy some dangerous places nearby, serving as a peripheral guard for the mercenaries who are doing mischief.
Shanyu shouted out the slaughter of the city with a loud voice, and the consequences were quite serious. The Satsuma samurai withdrew cleanly, and there was not a single person in Kagoshima Castle who could resist, and a group of old and weak women and children of the samurai family, plus a group of obedient people, were nothing more than fish on a pallet. The soldiers of the former Aizu Domain, who held high the banner of the Aizu Clan, entered Kagoshima Castle in the first wave, and these people came to avenge their personal revenge, and the tragic situation of the corpses everywhere in the Aizu Domain, they must repeat it in the Satsuma Domain. The other mercenaries who followed up were the same wolf-like, and war was a good opportunity to make a fortune, and they wouldn't miss it.
The Japanese, who can play seppuku tricks, are definitely the best among all nations in the world in terms of cruelty. Although there are some strange people in the Chinese nation who are full of talents, they can compete with the Japanese in terms of cruelty, but they are also very rare, and it is very rare to have such a ruthless nation as the Japanese. Being bullied by veterans, beaten by superiors, discriminated against by the Manchurians, and seasick when they came, the mercenaries had all kinds of unhappiness in their hearts, but they had to be patient, they had to obey respectfully, and today they finally had a chance to vent. The people of Kagoshima Castle, whether they were noble samurai ladies or wealthy merchants, were now trembling lambs in front of them, and they could torture* them to their heart's content, and vent their grievances to their heart's content.
"There is no remnant enemy here, there is no need to impress the war like this, and if the soldiers are indulged like this, where is the military discipline? If the soldiers have become stragglers, how to control them in the future, and how to carry out the war! Seeing that the soldiers he had worked so hard to train had all become the most ferocious bandits as soon as he entered the city, Asano looked at Shanyu with an angry face.
"The soldiers have worked hard all the way, they should be allowed to relax, and this Satsuma clan is extremely evil, it is time to teach them some lessons!" Shanyu said indifferently, and he kept holding a telescope in the center, ensuring that Kagoshima Castle was surrounded by clusters and that killing was happening in every corner.
"Is it necessary to kill people like this?" Asano tore off the dough and directly began to question Shanyu. Except for beautiful women and some richly dressed people, the mercenaries almost killed everyone in the city, from the elderly to the swaddling baby, and they refused to let go of any of them. Asano's heart was tormented, he really couldn't see such a scene, although those dead Japanese took a different position from him, they were also compatriots!
"It's always inevitable to grab some money and kill some stubborn people! Don't mind too much, the division commander! Shanyu seemed to have something to say, but Asano couldn't calm down anymore and think about it.
"お母さん (mother),姉の (sister)......" Asano and Shanyu are still arguing, and the tragedy that Asano doesn't want to see happens in front of his eyes. Not far from them, a group of mercenaries smirked and dragged two beautiful women to the rear, and a very cute little girl chased after them and cried. The girl was probably only seven or eight years old, and the pear blossom cried with rain, and anyone who saw it would pity her, but the red-eyed soldiers didn't care about it at all. A group of horsemen rushed to their hunting grounds, laughing and greeting their comrades who were pulling the woman, but as if they were blind, they rushed straight past the girl. Dozens of tall war horses trampled on in turn, and when the cavalry ran away, the cute little girl just now had turned into a disgusting pile of fuzzy flesh.
"Pass my order, the troops will restrain the soldiers, and then quickly assemble and withdraw from the city, and release all the women who have been taken captive!" Asano couldn't bear it, he had to restrain these crazy soldiers, otherwise the tragedy even worse than this girl would continue to be staged.
Asano's soldiers, you look at me, I look at you, they didn't move, they didn't want to convey such an order. The soldiers could not go down to burn and loot in person, but in this kind of massacre, they did not have a lot of benefits. The pro-soldiers are the people around the leaders, and the grass-roots officers below naturally have to take care of them, so after this kind of looting, the pro-soldiers can also get enough benefits, as well as some specially selected beautiful women. If you go to convey Asano's order just now, the benefits that the pro-soldiers have been itching for a long time will naturally be gone, and the soldiers who are on the rise below will definitely have to scold their ancestors for eighteen generations. Of course, if it was peacetime, no matter how reluctant they were, the pro-soldiers would have to carry out Asano's orders, but today they have the right not to move, or they dare not move if they want to.
Wenbo's mercenaries in Asano are in the regiment, and one-tenth of them are drawn out, which is the so-called warlord's team. These warlords did not form an independent army, and continued to move with the various divisions, but they were clearly given some special instructions. Most of the people in the mercenary division are new recruits, and the battlefield may not be the first time, but the slaughter of the city is the first time, and many people are excited, but they don't know what to do at all. The first civilians to fall, the first women to be taken captive, all of them were done by these overseers, who led the soldiers to kill people and set fires. As Asano's personal soldiers, they naturally know more than the big soldiers, and they are still very afraid of such a mysterious department as the miscellaneous department. As soon as Asano gave the order to stop killing, Wenbo waved his hand and called a team of more than 30 people, and the soldiers naturally didn't dare to move, this is going to be an accident! Wenbo still looked smiling, but the more than 30 people he called were all murderous. And although these guys are wearing the uniforms of the mercenary division, no one has seen them at all, which shows that they are the staff of the miscellaneous department brought by Wenbo.
"Huh? Chief Wen, is there anything wrong with me maintaining military discipline? Asano also noticed Fumibo's unusual movements, and although he was almost furious, he softened his tone.
"Division commander, don't worry, there are the fourth and eleventh divisions guarding the periphery! We're safe here! Shanyu hurriedly took a few steps forward, blocked in front of Asano, hurriedly said a word to Asano, and walked towards Wenbo.
"After the victory of the division commander, it is inevitable that he will be a little excited, and there is no mistake in the order! I heard that Marfa said that Shi Guang was going to be promoted to brigadier general at the end of the year, and the two of you have always said that after the war, it is estimated that there will be good news on your side! Come smoke a cigarette! Shanyu took out a cigarette and handed it to Wenbo, saying some strange things.
Wenbo put away the smile on his face and stared at Shanyu like a wolf for a long time, Shanyu still smiled and held a cigarette as if he hadn't seen it. Wenbo bit his lip, and then he raised his arm almost stiffly and took a cigarette out of Shanyu's cigarette case.
"I'm just waiting for a cigarette, and the good government commissar will do a lot of good things!" Wenbo hesitated for a while, then lit a cigarette and turned to the side.
Wenbo's eyes were not ordinary and terrifying, Rao is Shanyu had also seen it, and he was still in a cold sweat when he looked at it, and he was secretly glad in his heart. Fortunately, Xiande, the veteran of Gu'an, can still cover it, and the miscellaneous affairs department is not really without scruples, otherwise Asano will definitely not be able to keep it today. Wenbo was able to suddenly conjure more than 30 agents from the miscellaneous affairs department today, he must have been prepared, and Asano dared to make the slightest move, and he would definitely take him on the spot, and he might even be executed on the spot.
"Division Commander, we are also old brothers, I don't want to explain the extra words, you know that I am for you, for the good of our mercenary division, it is enough. Today you don't talk much, don't give any orders, everything is up to me! Shanyu used his grandfather's face to change the time for a cigarette, but Wenbo made it clear that it was deliberate, and he smoked the cigarette violently, and this cigarette didn't seem to last long, and Shanyu could only explain to Asano in the simplest words.
"Shanyu, I am loyal to the general, as long as it is the order of the general, I will never say anything. But these people are innocent, and Kagoshima Castle has no resistance, so treating them so brutally is too much! Asano also saw the danger, but he didn't think it was as serious, and he really couldn't bear it, and the innocent people of Japan were slaughtered.
"Commander of the division! Are you elm head? As soon as the war started, there were still innocent people. Now that the soldiers have happily killed, if you suddenly stop, you don't want to kill, and you are sympathetic to these Japanese, which shows that your heart is towards Japan. At this time, how can you be guilty of such confusion! Wenbo is here to spy on you, and you don't know that just because you sympathize with the Japanese sinners today, Wenbo can take you down! Seeing that there was not much smoke left in Wenbo, Shanyu was even more anxious.
"This ......" Asano had no excuses, but watching these Japanese being slaughtered, his heart really couldn't get over it.
"Commander of the division! What do you think the Fourth and Eleventh Divisions are here for? Are the two aces the main force following you to watch the excitement? The mercenary division has plotted a rebellion! If our mercenary division dares to have the slightest abnormality today, the fourth and eleventh divisions will be able to wipe us out. Whatever you do today, it's only for one thing, to let the general see your loyalty! Shanyu was in a hurry, and directly showed the hole card to Asano.
Wenbo's cigarette was inhaled by his continuous inhalation, and only a quarter was left, Wenbo would not wait any longer, Shanyu was not virtuous after all, and his face was still limited. Wen Bo flicked the cigarette butt to the side in a dashing manner, and then led a group of agents to surround him violently.
"Division commander, please tell me what to do next!" Wenbo didn't even look at Shanyu, and asked directly to Asano.
"The Satsuma Domain is extremely evil, and the whole domain has no chickens and dogs, so the baggage brigade and the engineer wing are transferred to come up, and Kagoshima Castle is surrounded and killed, and no one can get away with it!" Asano kept telling himself in his heart that I was Manchurian, not Japanese.
