The Japanese aristocracy generally referred to the lowest level of ordinary people as "mortals".

At this time, the Japanese informant who gave the news to Asai Tea and other people was called the Japanese people.

Shallow well tea was naturally stunned after hearing it.

Ono said at this time: "This is a common method used by the Ming army, if it weren't for those mortals who were bought by them, we wouldn't have been so defeated so badly over the years!" ”

After hearing this, Asaojingcha said: "It's despicable! ”

Then.

Ohno said: "It's just that I didn't expect that this time they still used such a method, in order to prevent the Ming army from really using a large number of mortals as a force against us, we should first kill all the mortals near Osaka City." ”

"Isn't that too cruel?"

Sanada Yukimura couldn't help but ask.

At this time, the shallow well tea counted the Buddha beads with a serious face:

"It's not cruel, as long as they can keep Osaka Castle, their sacrifice is worth it!"

said.

Asai Cha said: "Just like that, I gave the order to kill all the mortals in Osaka Prefecture." ”

"Hey!"

Several retainers of the Toyotomi family agreed at this time.

Thereupon.

When the Ming army began to give relief to the Japanese people, ordinary people, that is, mortals.

Inside and outside Osaka Castle Honmaru and each sub-pill, many samurai began to pick up swords and kill all the Japanese people.

This period in Japan's Warring States period.

The highest status is naturally the emperor and members of the imperial family.

The second is the aristocracy, that is, the royal family and the public family.

Next is the samurai class.

The samurai class consisted of shoguns, go-family members known as daimyo or guardians, and non-go-gos.

The samurai class is equivalent to the class of the great masters.

Below the samurai class were the "mortals", i.e., townspeople, merchants, and craftsmen.

And if it is said that many scholars and doctors in the old Ming Dynasty did not regard the low-level common people as human beings, then the Japanese samurai class did not regard the Japanese common people as human beings.

After all, in the old era of the Ming Dynasty, no matter how good the scholars were, they could harm the people in the name of "the people are the only ones".

Therefore, now the samurai class is killing the Japanese ordinary people, which is really like hoeing grass mustard, and it is very arbitrary.

As a result, many of the Japanese fled one after another.

While many Japanese people fled outside, on the side of the Ming army, many Japanese people gathered here.

For many hungry Japanese people, it was difficult for them to refuse the food provided by the Ming army, and they could not resist the temptation of continuous food and even a small reward if they worked for the Ming army.

Many Japanese people, especially those who had just escaped from Osaka Castle, even wished the Ming army to win, and were even willing to pay for their lives for the Ming army to win.

Because they began to breed hatred for the rulers of Osaka Castle, especially after comparing them to the Ming army.

Make their hatred even stronger.

"Don't eat it!"

"Don't eat it!"

"Yaga! How can you eat the food offered by the invaders! ”

Mao Li Katsuwa, a samurai who came to the Ming army to spy here disguised as an ordinary Japanese person, was so angry when he saw that many Japanese people were rushing to grab the steamed buns distributed by the Ming army's missionary officers.

So much so that he forgot his original purpose, and stopped these Japanese people in a gaffe, and because of this, he overthrew several Japanese people.

But he couldn't stop these Japanese people, and after these Japanese people were pushed down, they still stood up desperately to grab them.

On the side of the Ming army, Li Rubai, who was responsible for maintaining order, also noticed this scene, and took a bow and arrows on the spot and aimed at this Maori Shenghe.

Mao Lishenghe was now desperately watching as the ordinary people on his side were organized by the Ming army to receive relief, and he didn't notice Li Rubai's bow and arrow.

As a result, Maori Katsuwa was soon hit by an arrow in the calf.

Before he could escape in pain, he was immediately picked up by Li Rubai's family, Ding Ce, and put him in the armpit.

Mao Li Shenghe was escorted to Magui by Li Rubai.

"What do you say, the Japanese nobles of Osaka Castle are slaughtering their people?"

Ma Gui learned that Asai Cha had ordered the slaughter of the Japanese people after the people accompanying Jinyi Weibei Town Fuji raided and interrogated Mao Li Katsuwa, and stood up in amazement.

Ma Gui then said: "Pass on the Shuai Jun order, the shelling time is one hour earlier!" ”

"Why is Master Hou so nervous?"

"It's not us Han people who killed."

Li Rubai knew Ma Gui, so he couldn't help but ask.

Ma Gui glanced at Li Rubai: "You have to enlarge the pattern a little!" ”

As he spoke, Ma Gui looked at Li Rubai: "Do you know, why are Your Majesty and the ruling authorities in the DPRK and China in a hurry to annex Japan first?" ”

Li Rubai shook his head.

"For your brother's sake, I'll give you a few more words, don't be annoyed."

"I am in a hurry to annex Japan first, not only because there is a lot of silver here, but also because the land here is ripe for reclamation, and more importantly, there are many local cultivators, not wild people who can only hunt, and more importantly, these farmers are also very tame and obedient!"

"It can be said that they are more deferential than the Han people in our old rite period!"

"Some of these cultivators, that is, their common people, are so oppressed that they would rather carry their elderly parents to the mountains and fall to their deaths, rather than rebel, such as 'princes and generals, rather have a kind of', or 'the sky is dead, and the yellow sky should stand'."

"You have been in Japan for a long time, and you should know how deferential they are and how suitable they are for their own slaves."

"And such people, naturally, the more the better, not to mention, what is most lacking in my Ming Dynasty now, not gold and silver, nor land, but the market mentioned by His Majesty, what is the market made of, naturally people, especially those who abide by the rules."

"Now that they are killing their people like this, and Osaka Castle will become an empty city in the future, what can we do to quickly establish a profitable market?"

"The Japanese nobles, the more you die, the better, anyway, it's a ruthless pervert who just wants me to be the king; But the Japanese people should be preserved if they can. ”

"Otherwise, before this battle starts, my Ming will suffer a lot of losses!"

After Ma Gui said, the cannon outside had already sounded.

The entire outside of Osaka was filled with gunsmoke.

Li Rubai nodded after hearing this: "No wonder the Ministry of Rites said that our conquest of Japan is to relieve the labor and eliminate the barbarians, not to slaughter living beings and corrupt humanity. ”

Ma Gui bowed: "Exactly!" Foreign wars also need to have a righteous reason, and my royal division especially needs it, if these Japanese people are not saved, it will not be possible to say that the etiquette is normal. ”

Li Rubai continued to nod, and also looked ahead with burning eyes.

At this time, a large number of heavy artillery of the Ming army was still intensively bombarding Osaka Castle.

The bronze cannon group desperately spat out tongues of fire, and the large number of cannonballs almost covered the entire Osaka Castle Moramaru. (End of chapter)
