On August 22, in front of the Nihonbashi Bridge in Edo Castle, soldiers of the Tiger Army set up an execution ground. There was a huge crowd around the execution ground, and at least tens of thousands of Japanese citizens gathered there.
Among these citizens were merchants, helpers, servants of samurai, and some samurai with swords.
They watched in horror as their emperor knelt on the execution ground, his body tied behind his back with hemp rope. There was a huge beheading mark stuck on the emperor's back, with a big beheading sign written in ink on it, with a circle drawn outside the beheading word.
This is the first time in ancient times that someone has executed the Emperor of Japan.
Japanese citizens and businessmen looked at the Tiger Soldiers on the execution ground with wide eyes, as if what they saw before them was unreal. The Japanese people are still there, and the land of Japan is still there, but the emperor, the spiritual symbol of the Japanese people, is going to be destroyed.
Beheaded.
Emperor Sōren looked at his people and couldn't help but tremble. Young Sōren has been basically trapped in Kyoto by the Tokugawa shogunate since he came to the throne. Today is a big scene that he rarely sees. However, this big scene,
But it is the place of execution that will cost him his life.
There were dense crowds of people gathered in circles outside the execution ground, but no one spoke. The scene was surprisingly depressing.
On one side of the execution ground, Lei San looked at the atmosphere on the scene and frowned. He called a platoon leader and said, "Go to the regiment leader and say that our company is not enough to maintain order, and there may be trouble later. At least.
If a battalion is deployed to guard the execution ground, the Japanese people will probably attack the execution ground."
The platoon leader looked at the silent Japanese people around him, swallowed his saliva, and ran quickly towards the barracks.
Lei San's suggestion was taken seriously, and soon, a battalion commander led 500 heavily armed Tiger Soldiers from the barracks outside the city into the castle town and surrounded the execution ground.
There were more than 600 soldiers surrounding the execution ground, and the scene became a little calmer.
Near noon, Li Zhi set out from Osaka Castle and marched towards the execution ground of Nihonbashi, holding the royal guard of honor.
The Japanese citizens along the way were all very panicked when they saw Li Zhi's guard of honor. Some people knelt on both sides of the road, while some Japanese turned around and ran away. They seemed to be afraid of Li Zhi, the conqueror, from the bottom of their hearts.
Some warriors who had lost their masters hid behind the windows of the tavern and casino, looking at Li Zhi's team with pity.
Li Zhi was riding on his horse, looking thoughtfully at the Japanese people on both sides of the road.
Japan's folk customs are far stronger than those of North Korea. It will really take some effort to annex such a country.
Walking to the execution ground at Nihonbashi, Li Zhi clearly felt that the atmosphere was tense.
Seeing Li Zhi's guard of honor approaching, the people around the execution site did not kneel down. Amidst the shouts and curses of the soldiers, the silent crowd reluctantly made a way for the soldiers to pass. The citizens' anger seemed to be possible at any time.
It broke out, and everyone stood there looking at Li Zhi with their big eyes open.
Li Zhi frowned and walked onto the viewing platform next to the execution ground.
As if he felt something was wrong with the situation, Zhong Feng transferred another battalion of soldiers from outside the city and increased the security force around the execution ground to 1,000 people.
After waiting for a while, the sun climbed directly above the sky.
A soldier from the Tiger Army walked onto the execution ground and shouted loudly: "The time has come!"
The execution soldiers dragged the Japanese Emperor Shohito, who was crying bitterly, to the front of the execution platform and prepared to be executed.
However, at this moment, tens of thousands of Japanese people in the audience were excited.
The Yamato nation of Japan was not the eternal master of Japan. In fact, the Wa nation was originally a small nation in the Yamato region of Japan, which rose up under the leadership of the emperor. After a thousand years of expansion, the Wa nation killed all the native Japanese Ai
Nu Ren, then controlled the entire Japan.
Even now in the 22nd year of Chongzhen, the Ainu people still live in Hokkaido, and the Japanese and white-skinned Ainu people still fight in Hokkaido.
For the Japanese, the emperor is the great hero who led the Japanese to rise in central Japan. Even though the emperor was controlled and puppeted by the samurai class for a long time over thousands of years, the emperor has always been the spiritual pillar of the Japanese nation.
It is acceptable for the conquerors of the Ming Dynasty to overthrow the shogunate.
Killing the Emperor is unacceptable!
The Japanese seemed to have suddenly woken up and started shouting loudly.
"Let the emperor go!"
"The Emperor cannot be killed!"
"The Emperor is onboard!"
The common people began to push and shove with the soldiers who were maintaining order. The boundary between the crowd and the soldiers fluctuated like waves.
Li Zhi carefully observed the common people pushing the soldiers and found that the samurai with swords did not seem to have such strong emotions towards the emperor and were standing in the back row. On the contrary, the unarmed ordinary citizens were very loyal to the emperor and moved forward desperately.
He squeezed and wanted to rush to the stage to rescue the emperor.
Soon, tens of thousands of citizens pushed back the defense line composed of a thousand soldiers. Several hundred citizens broke through the first line of defense and ran desperately towards the emperor on the stage.
"Save the Emperor!"
"Save the Emperor!"
Zhong Feng looked at Li Zhi.
Li Zhi said expressionlessly: "Just shoot."
Zhong Feng's face lit up with joy, and he blew the horn symbolizing suppression.
Two hundred soldiers of the Tiger Army raised their loaded rifles, pointed them at the Japanese citizens rushing toward the execution platform without hesitation, and pressed the triggers.
"Bah bang bang!"
Flowers of blood bloomed like flowers, and hundreds of Japanese citizens who broke through the defense line screamed and fell dozens of steps outside the execution platform. The area around the execution place was suddenly filled with the smell of blood.
There were still citizens who had not been killed who were still rushing forward. They thought it would take a long time for the rifles to fire again, but they did not expect that the Tiger Soldiers were using breech-loading rifles. Only five seconds later, the gunshots rang out again. There was a crackling sound.
In the gunfire, all the last one hundred or so civilians were killed.
The onlookers were stunned when they saw such a bloody scene, and their movements of pushing the soldiers became much lighter.
To the south of the execution ground, the company that was pushed the most by the citizens suddenly withdrew and let in the citizens who were squeezing them.
A company behind raised their breech-loading rifles and fired. Amidst the gunshots like exploding beans, rows of citizens rushed forward, fell down, rushed forward, fell down, and died one by one like moths to a flame.
On the execution ground.
Outside the execution ground, the corpses of citizens were immediately covered.
Blood flowed everywhere, making red the dominant color around the execution ground.
The citizens of Edo were finally afraid. They understood that the conquerors of the Ming Dynasty were not easy to talk to, and any charge would be an act of death.
The citizens finally stopped pushing and shoving the Tiger Soldiers, and instead stared dumbfoundedly at the corpses of hundreds of citizens under the execution ground.
Li Zhi looked at the situation on the execution ground and found that the Japanese samurai armed with swords were relatively calm and were retreating back one by one.
The soldiers walked back to the outside of the execution ground and formed a human wall again. This time, no one dared to attack the human wall.
Seeing that the situation was under control, Zhong Feng snorted coldly. With a wave of his hand, he signaled the execution to begin.
The soldiers of the Huben Army went up and pulled out the beheading mark on Emperor Shaoren's back.
As soon as the beheading was pulled out, the Japanese citizens in the audience immediately knelt down and burst into tears.
The emperor is the symbol of Japan, the tablet of the Japanese, and the god of the Japanese.
No one has ever conquered Japan, and no one has ever killed the Japanese god. If the emperor dies, Japan will no longer be a country, and it will no longer be a country that has been expanding on the land of the white Ainu people for thousands of years.
Today Li Zhi wants to change history and destroy Japanese history.
However, the conquerors have defeated everything by force. The Tokugawa shogunate who protected Japan has been completely wiped out. The daimyo everywhere have no ability to resist. The Tiger Army will destroy wherever they attack. The pride of the Japanese has been completely knocked to the ground.
Japan is already dead, and nothing can be changed by unarmed citizens storming the execution ground.
Tens of thousands of Japanese citizens howled loudly, and the sound spread for more than ten miles. Even the Japanese citizens far away from the execution ground seemed to understand the situation on the execution ground and began to cry. For a moment, Li Zhi felt that the entire Edo city was
Crying.
Amid the deafening cries, the soldiers of the Tiger Army pointed their rifles at Emperor Shaoren's head.
Shao Ren trembled all over and said: "If you don't kill me, I can make the Japanese surrender..."
The soldiers of the Huben Army snorted coldly and pressed the trigger. Only a snap was heard, blood burst out from Shaoren's head, and Shaoren fell to the execution ground without saying a word.
When the people kneeling on the execution ground saw this scene, their crying gradually stopped. They all looked at the emperor's body with wide eyes, full of panic and horror.
Without the emperor, what would Japan be like in the future?
The soldiers of the Tiger Army watched the Japanese citizens eagerly, always preventing the excited citizens from attacking the human wall again.
But after a long time, the Japanese citizens were kneeling in silence outside the execution ground. Almost no one spoke or made any noise. They seemed to be mourning for the emperor, and they seemed to be thinking about how the Japanese would survive after the emperor's death.
.
Zhong Feng looked at the Japanese citizens and snorted coldly.
He handed over his hands and said to Li Zhi: "Your Majesty, the people of Japan are tough and martial, fearful of power but not moral. I'm afraid the method we used in North Korea to win people's hearts is useless in Japan, which is to lower the taxes of Japanese farmers. These Japanese
They won’t appreciate us either.”
"The only way is to suppress and kill people. Only by killing enough people will the people in this province understand that it is impossible for Japan to recover and must accept the rule of the prince."
Hearing Zhong Feng's words, Li Zhi nodded.
From Li Zhi's understanding, the Japanese nation is a nation that only worships the strong. The Ming Dynasty treated Japan well and gave Japan generous tribute trade, but in exchange it was harassed by Japanese pirates and the Wanli Korean War. However, the Tang Dynasty in Bai
Eguchi defeated Japan, but Japan always worshiped the Tang Dynasty and even worshiped the culture of the Tang Dynasty as Chinese culture.
The only way to suppress this nation is to let them understand that you are stronger than him.
After thinking for a while, Li Zhi said: "Hang the bodies of those criminals who attacked the execution ground on the streets of Japan, so that Japanese citizens will understand the consequences of challenging our order."
