Chapter 389: Cruel Deterrence
Different races, different living habits, and different beliefs, perhaps the samurai of the Kusa family chose to commit suicide by seppuku, and in the eyes of outsiders, their behavior is not understood, and they feel that their practice is ridiculous and unworthy. But in their beliefs www.biquge.info this is the supreme glory, there is no absolute right or wrong in things in the world, and the difference in opinion is only the difference in the position and perspective you stand.
Tang Ming is not a high monk, he does not cultivate, he only does what he feels right from his standpoint, so the heroic and tragic situation of the grass mustard family at this moment is very common in Tang Ming's opinion. On the contrary, the Watanabe village beside him had a solemn reverence on his face, and he did not feel pity for the samurai who committed suicide by seppuku, but felt sincere respect for their behavior.
Li Dazhui quickly took the sergeant to count all the prisoners, the old man and the child were originally not wanted by Tang Ming, but the people of the Cao Mustard family knew that they continued to wait for them in the island country There was only a dead end. Having lost the protection of their families, their only option now is to flee to the sea, becoming Japanese and living on the hardships of robbery.
But Tang Ming was ready to recruit them to Ryukyu Island, but he didn't want the old man and the child, and the people of the Grass Mustard family rarely demanded that Tang Ming must bring them with the old man and the child at this time, otherwise they would rather choose to face death than follow Tang Ming to Ryukyu Island.
As a captive, he didn't even have the slightest consciousness of being a captive, Tang Ming jumped off his horse in a burst of cruel laughter, and slowly walked in front of the middle-aged man who was the most active just now. Facing Tang Ming's approaching step by step, the middle-aged man was secretly frightened, but he still thought that as long as he and the other clansmen held on, Tang Ming would definitely not do anything to them?
Accidents often come unconsciously, when Tang Ming approached the middle-aged man with his hands behind his back, Li Dazhui immediately followed closely with a few soldiers, and the flintlock pistol in his hand was pointed at the man, at this moment, if he found the slightest change in the middle-aged man, he and his other subordinates would definitely kill him without hesitation at the first time.
Tang Ming came to the middle-aged man and whispered with a smile: "You are the first bird elected by these people, what is your name?" ”
Facing the threat of death, the middle-aged man's forehead was instantly covered with cold sweat, and when he looked back at the clansmen behind him, he received everyone's eyes full of encouragement. So the middle-aged man suddenly came back to life with full blood, firmed up his position, and actually replied to Tang Ming calmly: "My name is Caojiaocheng, I am not a bird, this is just the wish of all of us, and I hope that Hou Ye can answer ......." ”
"Bang!"
Mustard City's words hadn't finished yet, and Tang Ming, who had something to discuss just now, had already held the flintlock pistol he was carrying with him at this moment, and pulled the trigger fiercely on Mustard City's left foot.
After the gunshot, Mustard City let out a cry of pain, and a bullet punched an egg-sized blood hole in the calf of his left foot, and the bright red blood bubbled out as if it didn't want money, and after a while, it gathered into a large pool on the ground. But this is not over, Tang Ming is obviously very dissatisfied with Mustard City, as a captive does not even have the most basic consciousness, if this kind of person does not die, he will only cause trouble for himself in the future.
Tang Ming didn't leave any respite for Cao Ji Cheng at all, his left hand suddenly stretched out and grabbed the hair of Cao Ji Cheng, who was about to bend down and hug his legs, and his knee was raised violently just to hit him between his legs. Grass Mustard City's cry of pain stopped abruptly at this moment, Tang Ming did not stop there, but the hand that grabbed his hair pressed down slightly, and when Grass Mustard City was about to fall to the ground, a high-pressure leg slammed on his head.
Before the screams could be made, his head had already made intimate contact with the hard stone slab on the ground, and after a muffled sound, the grass mustard city had completely lost consciousness, and collapsed to the ground softly, leaving only his hands and feet still twitching slightly.
In the face of the other members of the grass mustard family who kept screaming, Li Dazhui and his men immediately raised the flintlock pistols in their hands, and their sharp eyes kept scanning back and forth over their bodies, if anyone dared to move forward at this time, they would kill him as soon as possible.
Tang Ming's eyes were full of bloodthirsty light, and he said with a cruel smile: "To be a captive should be to have the consciousness of a captive, and this marquis will tell you these bastards now." From now on, you are a captive, and your property, your freedom, including your life, are in my hands. Who wants to live or who dies is only between the thoughts of this marquis, your only choice now is to do things exactly according to my wishes, if anyone is not convinced or you feel that you can't accept such a reality, Mustard City is your example. ”
Looking at these members of the Caojiao family who were shocked by himself, Tang Ming nodded with satisfaction, but he still warned them again: "In the future, you will live on Ryukyu Island in this marquis, and everything will have to be done according to my wishes, except for the belief that Mazu thinks that the second faith will never be allowed." Of course, if you are not convinced, you can definitely try to resist, since this marquis dares to take you to Ryukyu Island, then he is completely sure to kill everyone who dares to resist. ”
Licking his lips that were a little dry, Tang Ming continued: "In the future, when you arrive on Ryukyu Island, you can do whatever you want, the only condition is to obey my orders, of course, for those who perform well, this marquis will definitely not treat them badly." Now pack up your salutes and hit the road honestly! ”
After speaking, Tang Ming didn't care about the expressions of the members of the grass mustard family at all, turned around and whispered a few words in Li Dazhu's ear, then returned to his horse, jumped on horseback and went to the territory of the Watanabe family with Watanabe Village.
Silence, after Tang Ming left, everyone fell into silence, and then a few people began to tidy up their bags a little, and stood in the open space specially set aside by Li Dazhui. Once someone in the collective starts, it is like a river mouth that has been cut off guard.
Gradually, the surviving people of the grass mustard family began to follow suit, and in the end, except for dozens of old men who were too old to move, all stood in the open space left by Li Dazhu.
There are only some old men left, and they are still some lonely old men. They were all old men with no children and no relatives, and Li Da Hammer did not embarrass them in the end, and followed Tang Ming's instructions when he left. Leaving some dry food and a little money, he took all the captives who had surrendered on his way.
His seemingly insignificant action, but among the captives of the grass mustard family, he instantly got the treatment that made him look at each other. In their eyes, Li Dazhui has become a bodhisattva, and he is also a good person they recognize. (To be continued.) )
