There were many factions within the peasant rebel army of the Japanese state, and they were basically divided according to regional differences.

Among them, the main ones were two different peasant rebel armies, the Shikoku Island and the Kyushu Island.

The general of Shikoku Island is a middle-aged man named Kimura.

Originally, he was just the first peasant on the island of Honshu, but when the peasant rebels on Shikoku Island began to attack the island in a big way, Kimura responded immediately.

All the men of the village were drawn together to join the peasant uprising.

Subsequently, due to various coercion and temptations of the shogunate, problems arose one after another within the Shikoku Island faction.

The number of traitors is constantly growing.

Seeing this, Kimura relied on his own clansmen and other peasant rebels who trusted him.

Saburo Tanashita purged all the traitors on the island of Honshu, and eventually the entire peasant rebel army was divided into two large factions.

As for the Honshu Island Native faction.

It can only be said that the representative figure is Kimura, but many generals of the Shikoku faction still have a lot of independence, and most of the armed forces are still from Shikoku.

....

In the southern part of the Hino Domain.

Those Kyushu Island faction generals who had just come out of Saburo Tanashita and Fujiki Xian, many of them had not very good expressions on their faces.

As soon as some people went out, they began to curse.

"Bastard! Saburo didn't think at all that if we handed over all our forces to the Great Ming, then what were we fighting so hard against the shogunate for! ”

"That's right! You know, there are still a lot of shogunate troops fighting with us all day long, and at this juncture, you want us to hand over all the cities to the Ming army? I can't understand Saburo-kun's approach...."

"Could it be.. San Langjun was bought by the Ming people, right? ”

As soon as this sentence came out, the expressions of many people around him suddenly changed.

One of them hurriedly stepped forward and covered the mouth of the general who was talking.

"Damn! What nonsense are you talking about.. Did you drink too much alcohol last night and still haven't woken up yet?! ”

This scene made many people look sideways.

There were also many young generals who came out of the Kyushu training camp formed by Chai Nan around, turning their heads and watching all this coldly.

The person who spoke just now also understood that he had said something he shouldn't have said.

Suddenly, the soul was also overwhelmed, and cold sweat couldn't stop floating on his forehead, bowing to everyone around him and saying, "I said it wrong!" Wrong! ”

The traitor question.

It is absolutely intolerable within the Kyushu Island faction, and now this general is actually suspecting that the current faction general, that is, Saburo Tanshita, has been bought by the Ming people.

Isn't this just a direct provocation to the nerves of all the generals inside?

At this moment, a large number of soldiers armed with sharp blades suddenly appeared at both ends of the street.

The doors of all the shops and houses along the way were also opened from the inside, and a large number of soldiers armed with bows and arrows were scattered here.

"Kill!"

The soldiers at both ends of the line were armed with sharp blades, and they poured like a tide towards the middle... It was absolutely forbidden to carry any weapons within the peasant rebels when discussing matters.

All the generals present also developed such a habit.

I heard someone suddenly exclaim: "Damn! Is it to make all of us die here today? ”

"Sure enough... Is it really going to be wiped out? ”

In the castle, all the soldiers who came to attack them wore black masks, but some people still saw through the identities of the attacking soldiers at a glance.

"It's Fujiki's Einsatzgruppen! These people have never been seen on a frontal battlefield, damn it! We didn't even carry weapons. ”

The sound of the rush shook the sky.

However, some people noticed that the archers on the street along the way, although they had drawn all the bows and arrows in their hands, did not see a single arrow flying out.

"The archers didn't shoot arrows! They don't really want to kill us all! Be careful! ”

But not long after saying this, I saw that all the masked sword-wielding soldiers had come one after another, and quickly walked in front of all the generals.

But they stopped when they finally reduced the range to just fifty meters.

A soldier masked his face and said, "Uncle's children, you can all stand aside... Others, no mercy!! ”

Although this sentence made many generals feel like ashes, many teenagers silently shifted their pace after hearing it.

Leaning against the shops on either side, someone even stepped behind the archer.

But no one dared to stop him...

The sun is setting and the night is approaching.

A light rain began to fall in the sky, but after a while, it gradually grew heavier and heavier, washing away more than the smell of blood that permeated the air.

And also... A lot of things from the past.

This kind of purge is the last thing Saburo Tanshita wants to face, but he knows... Before returning to Kyushu Island, he must clean up all the generals under his command.

After all, if it causes trouble to the army of the Ming Kingdom, then the future direction of the Japanese Kingdom may be even more confusing.

"The weak... There should be the consciousness of the weak. ”

Night, moonlight, lanterns... In the bright light, Saburo Tanashita and Fujiki watched silently everything on the street, when the sun rose again tomorrow morning.

It's all going to pass.

....

"The weak .... Do you have to endure such suffering? ”

It was Tokugawa Iemitsu who spoke, and at this moment he was unkempt and no longer looked like he used to be, but the former general of Zhengyi ended up like this, which is embarrassing.

However, Tokugawa Iemitsu's heart at the moment is extremely contradictory and complex.

Failure is not terrible, the terrible thing is that Tokugawa Iemitsu feels that he doesn't know why failure is terrible, but he believes in the most direct law.

Natural selection, survival of the fittest.

This is what he saw in a book that he bought back from the Ming Kingdom.

"These soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are really careless... They actually imprisoned me in the shogunate, don't they know that this is where I grew up? ”

Moving his ass, Tokugawa Iemitsu groped at the base of the wall with his hands.. Finally, after a while, he snapped out a brick from the corner of the wall.

Inside was a short knife.

"It's really bad... There was no ritual at all. ”

Keep the short knife on your stomach.

Although he didn't know how he fell off the horse, he knew...

The samurai around him may have been bought by the Ming people, or they may have been frightened by the tragedy on the battlefield.

In short, perhaps for other reasons, he fell into the hands of the Ming army.

"The weak should not have a chance to continue to live, if that's the case... I'm afraid they'll be able to understand what it means to fight to kill the enemy! Warrior.. It's going to come to an end! ”
