Chapter 351: Evil Rewards
The so-called "being a soldier to eat food", the Qing army in this era, soldiers join the army completely to eat their stomachs, in order to motivate soldiers to fight, Qing generals often hang rewards before the war, this time the Huai army came to Taiwan to fight with the Japanese army, Lin Yizhe listened to Li Hongzhang's suggestion, and opened a high bounty standard: 100 taels of silver to buy a Japanese soldier's head, if it is an officer's head, the amount of reward will be increased again, and the increase in the amount is subject to the officer's rank. As a result, as long as the Qing soldiers had the opportunity to get the opportunity to engage in hand-to-hand combat, they always went down to the other party's head first, and later killed the prisoners, in order to prevent the killing of the prisoners, Lin Yizhe offered the prisoners a price of 120 taels of silver.

And because of the greed for silver, the battle was not over yet, and the Qing soldiers began to grab heads on the battlefield!
The elite Huai army in the Qing army is like this, and you can imagine what the other Qing troops are like!
Lin Yizhe retracted his thoughts and carefully observed the battle situation, at this time on the battlefield, in the face of the crazy attack of the Qing army, the resistance of the Japanese army as a formed group no longer existed, and the remaining Japanese soldiers had become the prey of the Qing army.
Lin Yizhe saw a Japanese soldier being knocked down by several Huai soldiers with bayonets, one of the Huai soldiers raised his knife to cut off his head, but was stopped by his companion, who stretched out two fingers and waved, as if to tell him that the prisoner would be rewarded with more than twenty taels of silver, and then they stabbed the Japanese soldier's limbs with bayonets, and the Japanese soldier let out a miserable wail and rolled on the ground.
Seeing that the defeat of the Japanese army was decided, Lin Yizhe put away his gun, let out a long breath, and sat down as if he had collapsed.
Ahead, I saw a group of ultramarine-gray and red figures rushing through the woods, swarming towards the Japanese army, and the sunset in the west just reflected the backs of the Qing officers and soldiers, enveloping them in a layer of red auspicious light.
It may be that the fierce battle has been too long and his energy is too concentrated, and Lin Yizhe's consciousness has become a little blurred when he suddenly relaxed, and in his eyes, the blue-gray and red backs suddenly transformed into the bright red clothes of the forehead......
The battlefield finally fell silent.
It was raining in the sky, and the raindrops fell on Lin Yizhe's face, Lin Yizhe closed his eyes, turned his back to the sky, and let the raindrops hit his face.
The rain ran down his cheeks like tears.
The battle was over, and the Qing soldiers were cleaning up the battlefield at this time.
"Your Excellency?"
Lin Yizhe lowered his head, opened his eyes, and saw a Huai military general nodding to himself, laughing and calling himself.
Seeing that the governor had opened his eyes, the general manager smiled and waved his hand, and two Huai soldiers stepped forward, one holding a cloth wrapped in his hand, and the other holding a golden Japanese samurai sword.
Hayashi Yizhe noticed the golden chrysanthemum decoration on the katana and seemed to understand something.
"My lord, this is the head of the Japanese army chieftain, Lieutenant General Saigo from the road. This is his sword, and according to the soldiers, it was given by the lord of the Japanese. Mr. Lin Yizhe looked at him and said respectfully.
Lin Yizhe remembered Saigo Congdao who was sniped by himself, and nodded.
"Open, I'll see."
The general stepped forward to unwrap the package, and a human head with a blue face and closed eyes appeared.
Although this human head is still covered with blood, his expression is wooden, and his facial muscles are also a little deformed, from the chubby face and two iconic mustaches, Lin Yizhe can still recognize that this is indeed the head of Saigo Congdao.
"You cut it off?" Lin Yizhe asked the Huaijun soldier holding the head, his eyes still fixed on the head of the person from Xixiang.
"If you go back to the adult, it was the villain who cut it down!" Unexpectedly, the Huai soldier who was holding Saigo's saber from the road next to him replied first.
"Your Excellency, listen to his nonsense! It was the villain who cut off the head of the thief chieftain with his own hands! The Huai soldier who held the head was furious and immediately retorted.
"I cut it down! Don't talk nonsense! ”
"I cut it down! Don't fool adults here! ”
Seeing the two of them fighting in front of the governor, the general's face changed and he shouted: "Presumptuous! What nonsense? This thief chief was shot and killed by Lord Futai himself! Chop off your head, and the credit will be yours? ”
When the two Huai soldiers heard the reprimand, they both kept their mouths shut, but they still stood there glaring angrily.
"Okay, the three of you, each of you is five hundred taels of silver, stay and report it later." Lin Yizhe waved his hand a little tiredly and said.
Hearing Lin Yizhe's words, the general and the two Huai soldiers were overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed down to thank him, Lin Yizhe turned around and beckoned the two guards to put away the head and saber of Xixiang Congdao, and comforted the three of them, and the three of them thanked and left.
"Lion's Head Society, is there any news?" Lin Yizhe turned his head and asked.
"Not yet, sir." The soldier on the side replied.
Lin Yizhe looked at the gray sky and didn't say anything more.
The rain finally stopped.
Wei Rucheng looked at the village that had been extinguished by the rain with some surprise, waved his hand, and the Huai soldiers behind him rushed over quickly.
As the younger brother of Wei Rugui, the commander of the Sheng army, although Wei Rucheng is only a small battalion officer now, he can be regarded as a battle-hardened battle, but this time he came to this village, somehow, he always felt a little uneasy.
The village belonged to the rebellious Lion's Head Society, which used to be a supply depot for the Japanese army, but now they entered the village and found not a single Japanese soldier.
"My lord, no one ......," one of the people put the barrel of the pistol on top of a tasseled hat that was somewhat wet from the rain, and whispered to Wei Rucheng.
"Search carefully! Beware of the cold shots! Wei Rucheng ordered.
Ordering the commander to leave, Wei Rucheng waved the revolver in his hand, and walked forward cautiously with the soldiers.
"My lord! Look over there......" one of the soldiers pointed to a courtyard gate in the distance.
Wei Rucheng looked in the direction of his finger and saw what seemed to be a pile of white flowers there.
Wei Rucheng blinked, looked carefully, and saw clearly that there seemed to be a bunch of corpses there!
"Yes...... ! "Someone can see it, too.
Wei Rucheng and a team of subordinates cautiously approached the courtyard, and when he saw what was in front of him, he couldn't help but swallow.
Those lying on the ground were all naked corpses of women!
"These are the women who rebel against the thieves," said one of the generals, staring with interest at the corpses of the women who had been stripped naked and still had black blood under them, "They helped the pirates to come in, but their own women let the pirates kill them instead, haha!" ”
"Grandma's! I've fucking let the Japanese play with it! I don't know who said, "None of them were left for us!" ”
"What if you leave it? It's all dead, it's already cold down there, you put that talk in, be careful that you can't pull it out! Someone replied with a smile, and there was a hint of lewdness in his words.
"He's not afraid! He's good at this! Whose daughter-in-law and daughter died, he had to go to help with the funeral, just to take advantage of this! ”
"See, talking about this, it's hard down there!"
"Then come quickly, Church brethren! Let's try it too! Look at the difference between the living and the dead! ”
There was a burst of laughter.
It stands to reason that although these are the female corpses of the Lion-headed Society Fanmin, and Fanmin is also considered Chinese, and it is a great shame for a woman in his country to be raped and killed by the Wukou, but at this moment, these Huaijun soldiers do not seem to have a sense of shame, nor sympathy and pity, but even imagine the feeling that the Japanese are raping the corpses of these Fanmin women.
Wei Xiangcheng didn't care about scolding his subordinates for their nonsense, he looked at these female corpses, and he always felt a little stunned in his heart.
Wei Rucheng noticed a woman lying face down on the ground, her chest covered with black blood, he stepped forward and kicked the female corpse over with his foot, and saw the face of a young woman with angry eyes and a distorted face.
The Huai soldiers looked at the naked female corpse, their eyes mostly focused on the woman's chest and lower limbs, but Wei Rucheng noticed that there seemed to be something in the woman's mouth.
"It looks like there's something in your mouth, take it out and look at it." Wei Rucheng ordered.
The Huai soldiers stopped laughing and gathered to watch, and one of the soldiers pulled out a dagger and stepped forward, pried open the tight teeth of the female corpse, and used the tip of the knife to pick out the contents inside.
"His grandmother's! This is...... What the Wako said! Give the bite off! My lord! When the soldier saw what was coming out of the woman's mouth, he couldn't help but curse, "His grandmother's widow! It's disgusting when it's dead! ”
The surrounding Huai soldiers laughed again, but Wei Rucheng couldn't laugh.
"Look! This rootless little Oriental devil shouldn't be able to run far! Wei Rucheng shouted loudly.
The Huai soldiers immediately launched a search, and after a while, they found the bodies of three Japanese soldiers.
The three Japanese soldiers had been dead for a long time, their upper bodies were still wearing black uniforms, but the pants on their lower bodies were gone.
The three Huai soldiers were quick and immediately stepped forward to draw their knives and cut off the heads of the three Japanese soldiers.
Soon, they found several letters on the corpse.
"My lord, look at this ......" A soldier took all the letters and handed them to Wei Rucheng to see, "I don't know if there is any secret military information on it......
Wei Rucheng took the letter and opened it to read it, and when he saw that it was all written in Japanese characters, he couldn't help but look up to the sky and roll his eyes.
"My lord, what's written on this?" One of the generals stepped forward and asked.
"The devil knows!" Wei Rucheng scolded, called a personal soldier, and handed the letter to him, "Hurry up, go back to the camp, and give the letter to Lord Futai!" Master Futai is erudite and talented, has traveled abroad, knows Japanese characters, and can know what is written on it! ”
The soldiers received the order, happily carried the letter carefully in their arms, and then hurriedly walked along the road they came.
Seeing that this personal soldier had this beauty difference, several Huai soldiers showed envy on their faces.
Now no one doesn't know that Lord Futai is generous, and there will be a reward when the matter is done.
In a short time, these letters arrived in Lin Yizhe's hands.
Lin Yizhe took these letters, glanced at the envelopes, and knew that these were all private messages from Japanese soldiers.
Even though he knew that the contents of the letters might not matter, he opened them and read them.
And one of the letters, Lin Yizhe only glanced at it, and his face changed slightly.
Tanigawa-kun: ...... Why do I hate these women so much? Because my best friend Shiraki Shinya died tragically 15 minutes ago under the sudden flying Qing army shells; When he swallowed, he said that he didn't even have time to touch a Qingguo woman, so he died, a little unwilling, let me do it for me, don't be a man in vain. I shouted in my heart, Bai Mu-kun, I'm doing it for you, do you feel it? These women are not like the women of yesterday, who neither struggle nor dare to scream, and obediently let us take turns stepping on their bodies. When the other soldiers heard that I was working for Bai Mu, they all shouted loudly: Bai Mu-kun, we are doing it for you! ……”
"Qing women are actually not much better than Japanese women, but these three Shengfan women have better waists than Japanese women; The three women seem to be beauties drawn with a pen, with delicate skin, grabbing a handful as if touching a baby, and a faint fragrance; They lay on the ground with their eyes slightly closed, tears on their eyelashes, and red cheeks, afraid to look at us. …… It took half a day before we left. In the evening, my fellow villager Katsumoto asked me to go to them again. ”
"When we entered the room where they were held, and saw the three women lying naked on the ground, we took off our clothes and threw ourselves on them, and as you might imagine, their bodies were no longer hot, but cold. I thought it was caused by lying on the floor for a long time, and I wanted to move them to an idle bed. Katsuwon whispered to me that they were all dead. It stands to reason that this village has become occupied by the Imperial army, and the villagers in it are helping us, but we don't trust them. You know, today, they may help us against the Qing people, will they betray us to the Qing people tomorrow? Everyone thinks that the best way is to kill them all after using them. That's what we all thought, and that's what we did, and now there are only a few prettier women left in the village, like these three women. ”
"I didn't believe they were dead, so I touched their lips again, and they couldn't breathe anymore. It's a pity that the three women who gave birth are indeed dead. But we're still interested in them, and we're working together on these three corpses......"
Lin Yizhe put the letter back into the envelope, took out another letter and read it.
“…… It is full of simple houses made of planks and bamboo, not far from the coast; Nearly 30 women were imprisoned inside, and there was no doubt that they were the spoils of this victory, as well as women recruited locally. The general is now increasingly distrustful of the Shengfan who assisted us in our landing, believing that they led us into an ambush by the Qing army. As punishment for the traitors, all the villages in Shengban were slaughtered, and the men, whether old or children, were killed, leaving only the young women......"
"By the time we arrived, they had all been raped and docile, like a pack of cats lying on the floor, guarding the coals, naked and unmoving, just waiting for us to go up. Some were so hungry that they had no strength at all, perhaps because they were afraid of running or afraid of them struggling, and each soldier gave them a rice ball, saying that it was a woman who gave it to you, and it was their ration for the whole day. When the women saw the rice balls, they were red-eyed and took them and ate them, completely ignoring what we were doing to them. ”
"We got the land here, and we got the women of the land; This is really a people who have no prospects, they once had a glorious history, but it is of little use to them; Here there is hope only under the rule of the Empire. ”
"While we were enjoying the women, there was a burst of gunfire outside; Later, I heard that someone had come to rob these women, and they were all killed. …… As we gathered and waited to leave, more than 20 local women were brought in to fill the positions of some of the exhausted women. ”
"At this point today, the chief said that the Qing people are about to be defeated, so that we can return to the mainland in March and April next year, and we can be with you......"
After reading the letter, Lin Yizhe's eyes were full of angry flames.
He now understood why the Japanese, now and in the future, raped and ravaged women so frantically, and why the officers indulged the soldiers in committing crimes so much.
As a psychological counselor, he has studied criminal psychology and is able to understand the criminal motives and perverted psychology of the Japanese: the brave generals on the battlefield will heroically violate the women in the occupied areas, so that the heroic aggression against women will become the evidence of how brave the generals are, which has become a trend in the Japanese army.
While the Japanese spirit of bushido is no longer able to support a broken soldier, a woman's body can play an immeasurable role in restoring the confidence of the healing soldier's victory. The Japanese government and military should be well aware of how to use the self-"compensation" and self-healing psychology of the Japanese to anesthetize the soldiers, encourage the Japanese soldiers to "sacrifice", and at the same time divert and vent the soldiers' dissatisfaction with the emperor, the government, and the military. For the Japanese soldiers who were aroused to their bestial nature, violent venting was the greatest satisfaction, and violating and playing with women was not only a reward and compensation for them to charge into battle, but also a means to prove that they still existed!
Such an atrocity is by no means the first time for the Japanese, and it will not be the last!
"That's fine, save me the infamy of killing women and children......" Lin Yizhe let out a heavy sigh.
