Seppuku, as a popular form of martyrdom in Japan, first began in 989 A.D., in addition to a big thief in Japan, this person cut the abdomen in front of the bunk, and then picked out the internal organs with the tip of the knife, and threw it to the officers and soldiers who rounded him up.

It is said that all the people present at the time were impressed by Fujiwara's bravery and toughness, and the way this person committed suicide began to be talked about, which can be regarded as the earliest source of seppuku in Japan.

After the Kamakura shogunate, seppuku began to flourish, and samurai who were ashamed of being captured because they lost their positions began to choose to use real money to show their loyalty and regard death as home. (Actually, it's just a coward's behavior, don't lose the battle, or make a comeback.) ）

As for why the Japanese people chose seppuku as the noblest way to die, it is said that the ancient Japanese believed that the soul rests in the belly, so before death, it is necessary to take out the soul and show it to the outside world, so seppuku is displayed to the public.

By the time of the Warring States period, it can be said that seppuku had evolved into a very artistic sport, but of course it was not good for physical and mental health. (I advise all readers to be great, do not imitate)

As a Japanese, from the day you aspire to become a samurai, you must prepare a handful of ribs and prepare yourself mentally for seppuku in the future. In order to show their heroism, the samurai should not close their eyes when they are seppuku, and the direction of the body should be directly forward, if they fall on the side, or fall on all fours, it will be considered a very shameful thing. (The pervert is home, even if he dies, he will have to save face)

Some samurai who are relatively clean, or have a habit of cleanliness, will also be quite particular about wrapping a layer of white paper on the ribs, in order to absorb the blood of the body, so as not to spray blood and dirty the floor. The depth of the piercing into the abdomen is also particular, not too shallow, otherwise it will increase the pain, but it cannot die, of course, it cannot be pierced too deep, otherwise it will be pulled because of the weakness of the hand. (This nation has professionalized this perverted way of death, admire)

As for the reasons for seppuku, they were also more abundant in the Warring States period, such as losing the war, the enemy besieging the city, and reaching the point of despair, and if you don't want to be a prisoner, you can only choose to commit suicide. The other is to negotiate terms with the enemy, and protect his subordinates and the people in the city with his own death, which is relatively noble.

The reasons for seppuku that have nothing to do with war include those who advise the lord, the honor of protecting one's face, the first abdomen one step ahead of the lord, the righteous abdomen for the sake of fulfilling the morality of the world, the abdomen for the sake of combing fame, the merchant abdomen for bringing favors to the family and descendants, the thoughtless abdomen that drinks the tears of remorse (in fact, it is a worthless martyrdom), and the indignant abdomen for the untruthful sin.

In the end, there is another kind of like Long Shaocong, who is guilty, or angered the lord and was ordered to be executed, in order to give Long Shaocong a dignity, after many people interceded, Oda Nobunaga Nian was young at Long Shaocong's young age, and he was very merciful, so that he cut off his own abdomen.

For other people, being able to be given such a way to die will definitely be grateful to the master, but Long Shaocong is different, he opened a hole in his belly, and he also saw the intestines, liver and other filthy things, it is simply a masochistic behavior, rather than this, it is better to be directly stabbed by others, and it is a pleasure.

Oda Katsucho had already held the handle of the knife in his hand and put on a posture to cut down, but after waiting for a long time, he found that Long Shaocong was still sitting there quietly, looking ahead, and did not have the consciousness of seppuku.

He thought that Long Shaocong was a little timid, or unwilling to die, and said: "Long Shao, the matter is irreparable, don't worry, although we are nominally master and servant, but in my heart, I have always treated you as a brother, when you cut your stomach, I will immediately swing a knife and cut off your head, and I will never let you feel a little pain......"

After listening to this, Long Shaocong said in his heart: Nima, with a brother like you, I really lacked virtue in my previous life for eight lifetimes. In his heart, he originally wanted to scold, but after thinking about it, in this country and this era, it is not an exaggeration for Oda Katsunaga to have such thoughts again. In the eyes of later generations, this kind of almost unacceptable, even perverted idea, in the eyes of the people of this era, is natural and righteous......

Long Shaocong knew that it was useless to say more, it seemed that he really wanted to use this way to end this sad journey, thinking about it, this may not be a relief for himself. Since there is really a time crossing in the world, then perhaps, there will really be an afterlife, and the next life hopes that there will not be this perverted excesses again, this life.

With a light sigh, Long Shaocong slowly picked up the ribs in front of him, and saw the bright blade, reflecting his eyes, but in the dark eyes, they were full of melancholy and loss, all said that the eyes are the window of the soul, through the folding window, Long Shaocong saw another world, a peaceful and peaceful, no blood, no killing world......

Long Shaocong picked up the bowl of pure water in front of him again, although it was the first seppuku (of course, this kind of thing could not have a second time), but Long Shaocong still knew the purpose of this bowl of water, it was by no means used to quench his hunger and thirst, but to purify the knife.

Long Shaocong slowly sprinkled the ribs, slowly closed his eyes, and took a deep breath......

At this time, Oda Katsucho behind him said, "Long Shao, do you have anything else to say?" ”

According to the practice of seppuku, the samurai often drag two sentences before death, or sigh, or poetry, of course, Long Shaocong, who came from later generations, is very familiar with Tang poetry and Song lyrics, casually chanting a paragraph, or creating a few nondescript small poems, it is also handy, however, at this time, Long Shaocong is far from that Yaxing, what he is thinking about is a sharp blade in his hand, why not take this advantage and find a chance to escape?

However, after a while, Long Shaocong dispelled this thought, in terms of skill, he was not 100% sure of winning Oda Katsucho, and even if Oda Katsucho released water and deliberately lost to him, there were still heavy guards outside, if there was no foreign aid, with Long Shacong alone, he would not be able to rush away anyway.

Foreign aid? Thinking of these two words, Long Shaocong first thought of Xiaoyaozi, and secretly said At this time, if you look forward to a miracle, you can only hope that Xiaoyaozi will come to save him, although they usually meet, this stinky Taoist priest is very fierce to himself, but Long Shaocong can deeply feel that he will never sit idly by and watch his own catastrophe.

But the current variable is whether Yoshimaru and Yamaguchi sent the news out, this death, so that Long Shaocong has a deep understanding of the character and thinking of the Japanese nation, they never sympathize with the weak, and consider the problem quite realistically, when sacrificing their own interests to help the weak, often find a grand reason to persuade themselves, not to let themselves make unnecessary sacrifices.

Just like the reason of Yoshimaru and Yamaguchi this time, they are unwilling to take risks for Long Shacong, the reason is to leave the hope of the main Panxi Village, this is indeed a grand ideal, in the face of this ideal, life is insignificant, of course, they sacrifice the life of Long Shaocong, not their own life......

"Young master, the time has come!" He who spoke was a crowd kneeling by the door.

Oda Katsucho saw that he couldn't take it off anymore, raised his sword high and said, "Long Shao, if you don't want to do it yourself, I will only offend ......"

Hearing this, Long Shaocong knew that everything was irreparable, smiled slightly, and aimed the tip of the knife at his abdomen......
