When Shimazu Tadaro stood up, Hiroka had already taken advantage of Toranomaru being hit one after another, cut off the flying hook, and distanced himself from Toranomaru.

Several samurai supported Shimazu Tadaro, the third man of the Shimazu family's first generation of feudal lords, who was already very embarrassed, and his gorgeous helmet had long since fallen off, leaking the characteristic bun of Japanese samurai.

This kind of hair bun is bald on both sides, with a handful of hair in the middle, which is pulled down first and then back again, which is not very beautiful, and the samurai shave this hairstyle, mainly for the convenience of wearing helmets.

Tadaura Shimazu's leg was hit by a piece of flying sawdust at some point, and the blood was already wet on his thigh.

Suddenly, the artillery fire around Toranomaru became fierce, and from time to time there were splashes of water in the sky, like a torrential rain, drenching the light feet and deck of the ship.

From time to time, the cannonballs hit Toranomaru, and the twelve-pounder cannon smashed the iron plate into shape, and the eighteen-pounder tore the iron plate straight away, sweeping the Satsuma samurai on the deck.

At this time, Shimazu Tadaro discovered that more than 40 warships on the left and right flanks had sunk a small half, most of them were paralyzed, and the rest were desperately fleeing to Kagoshima Bay.

The Ming army had ten three-masted gunboats, two of which pursued the fleeing Satsuma warship, two of which continued to bombard the paralyzed warship in a circle, and the remaining six were all killed from behind in a roundabout way.

The Yingyuan's huge main guns bombarded, and the advancing Satsuma warships were immediately devastated, and one after another was bombarded by the shells.

Seeing this, Shimazu Tadaro was extremely angry in his heart, looking at the current situation, there was no suspense about the defeat of the Satsuma naval army, but he was angry in his heart, "One hundred and fifty warships! didn't even shoot down a Ming warship, which is an unprecedented shame for the Satsuma navy! ”

"Will military は今どうするのですか。 私たちは挟撃された! (General, what now?) We're being flanked! )”

The samurai on the Toranomaru also realized that the situation was dangerous, and six Ming gunboats crushed up from behind, and they had lost their chance.

The number of guns of the six-armed three-masted gunship was several times that of the ten Fukufu ships and more than ten times that of the Satsuma warships, and the two sides were not at all opponents of an order of magnitude.

Just when the samurai asked, in the face of the dense artillery, the remaining forty or so Satsuma warships had begun to scatter, and the board wall of the Toranomaru also collapsed suddenly under the constant bombardment of the artillery.

As soon as the iron plate wall fell, the artillery of the Ming army directly bombarded the deck of Toranomaru, and several light feet who fell to the ground just stood up, and they were splashed by the limbs of an iron bullet of more than ten catties, and a cloud of blood mist sprinkled all over the deck, and the cannonball was unabated, hitting the board wall on the other side that had not fallen, and was bounced back, sweeping down several light feet all the way, and then falling into the sea.

Shimazu Tadaro looked around blankly, Toranomaru was already in a mess, and a large house around it was also beaten to pieces, and there was a serious tilt, and the other warships were either sunk or injured, or fled to the wings, and the Shimazu family dominated the sailors of Kyushu, and it was over!

Not a single Ming warship was sunk, or even injured, which was a shame for Satsuma, and it was also a shame for Shimazu Tadharo, who no longer had the face to meet the feudal lord Shimazu Mitsuhisa.

"亀 Taro、私の大介人を作ってください!" (Kametaro, please be my intermediary!) Shimazu Tadharo pushed away the samurai who was supporting him, and with a pain in his thigh, he took advantage of the situation to kneel on the blood-stained deck, and then suddenly tore off his armor and said heavily to a retainer beside him.

"General!" Seeing this, the surrounding samurai exclaimed and knelt in a circle around Shimazu Tadaro.

"戦争をこのように、私は必ず1死そのため戦の責任は、私が死んた後、あなたはすぐ脱出、あるいは降號!" (The war is fought like this, I must die for this war, and after I die, you will immediately break through or surrender!) Shimazu Tadaro said in a deep voice, then looked at one of the samurai and said unquestionably, "Taro, お願いします!" (Kametaro, please!) )”

The Japanese have a tradition of defeated seppuku, and in Japanese martial arts culture, this is an honorable thing, and if you don't die in defeat, it will be considered shameful, so Shimazu Tadharo wants to cut your stomach, and although the samurai around you can't bear it, no one comes out to stop it.

After Shimazu Tadaro finished speaking, he immediately took off his upper armor, tied a turban on the top of his head, and then found a white cloth to wrap the part that was ready to cut the abdomen tightly in circles, and finally picked up the sukeshi he carried with him.

The samurai, who had been entrusted by Shimazu Tadaro, stood behind Shimazu Tadaro, drew his long knife with a heavy face, and then raised the long knife high, waiting for the moment when Shimazu Tadaro cut his stomach, and immediately cut off his head with a knife, so as to quickly end his suffering.

Suicide by breaking the abdomen is a very cruel and painful thing, the seppuku first has to stab himself in the abdomen, and then hold the handle of the knife to cut from left to right, even if the intestines are flowing all over the ground, sometimes he will not die, so it takes a person to end the pain of the seppuku, and this person is the wrong person.

Seppuku usually allows trusted people and close comrades to make mistakes, and are generally kendo masters, so as to end the pain of seppuku as soon as possible. If a samurai loses but loses honorably, his opponent may also voluntarily act as a miscounselor out of respect for his courage.

It is undoubtedly a lucky thing for the seppuku to be the wrong person to act as the wrong person, because these henchmen, comrades-in-arms, or opponents who respect him generally do not bear the pain of the seppuku, so many times, the seppuku has just been stabbed into the abdomen, or made a look with a wooden knife or fan, and then he is beheaded by the wrong person, ending the pain.

It's a painful thing to find the wrong person, and Yukio Mishima's seppuku is an example.

In 1970, Yukio Mishima staged a coup d'état and kidnapped the commander of the Eastern Headquarters of the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force as a hostage, intending to persuade more than 800 non-commissioned officers of the Self-Defense Force to mutiny, overturn the constitution that denies that Japan has an army, and make the Self-Defense Force a real army to defend the emperor and Japanese traditions, but no one responded.

Yukio Mishima had no choice but to commit suicide by seppuku, he tied a turban with the words "Seven Lives to Serve the Country" on his forehead, wrapped the part that was ready to be seppuku tightly with a white cloth, picked up a short knife and stabbed himself in the abdomen, cutting a large wound, and his intestines flowed out of the wound.

Morita Bikatsu, one of the two members of the shield society who came with him, used the famous knife "Sekisunroku" to make a mistake for Yukio Mishima, but he couldn't cut off his head even several times.

Yukio Mishima's intestines flowed all over the ground, but he couldn't die, and in unbearable pain, he tried to bite his tongue and commit suicide, but it was unsuccessful, and finally another member of the Shield Society, Koga Hiroyasu, who had studied Iaido, carried out the mistake, and finally succeeded.

A few slashes did not hack the seppuku to death, and the pain of the seppuku can be imagined.

This mistake is not something that anyone can do, but Shimazu Tadaro does not have this kind of worry, and the person he chose is a confidant of the Shimazu family, a famous kendo master of the Satsuma Domain, and he will go down with a knife to ensure that his pain will end.

At this time, the cannons around him were flying sideways, and from time to time around Toranomaru startled the water column, Shimazu Tadaro solemnly pulled out the helper, hesitated a little, and then stabbed a knife into the abdomen, the white cloth around his waist was immediately soaked with blood, Shimazu Tadaro's face became distorted because of the pain, he mustered up his courage, held the handle of the knife with both hands, and was about to pull the abdomen from left to right, but Kamataro, who was standing behind, suddenly shouted, waved the long knife in his hand, and cut off the head of Shimazu Tadaro.

Kametaro is worthy of being a master of kendo, he slashed it with a sword, and a stream of blood immediately spurted out, dyeing the front deck scarlet, but Shimazu Tadaro's head fell, but did not fall to the ground, but was linked by a trace of flesh and skin, hanging on his chest, which made people creepy.

After the death of Shimazu Tadaro, several other retainers on the Toranomaru also chose to seppuku, and the samurai died at the hands of the pawn, or was beaten to death by the gun, which was a shameful act, a dog death!

Kametaro was entrusted by them to be the wrong person, he held the family heirloom sword and was about to make a mistake, suddenly "bang" sound, the hull of the Toranomaru shook violently a few times, Kametaro, who held up the katana, was unstable and hurriedly inserted the knife on the deck, before he stabilized his body, and after a while, the hull became stable again, and then the earth-shattering shout of killing sounded, Man Dazhuang rushed down from the gunboat with hundreds of Ming troops, and saw a dead person on the deck, and was stunned.
