Chapter 382: A Thousand Cuts
Wei Yuan left the Admiral's Mansion. I went back to Guangzhou Daily and started writing.
At the same time, the rest of the celebrities in the Guangzhou Daily also wrote articles and published articles, and all the public opinion guidance was aimed at the little devils. In particular, Wei Yuanren is not old-hearted, his pen is sharp, and his words are the most intense.
Wei Yuan's article mentions that at the beginning, Japan was still an uncivilized and barren land, and when it came to the Tang Dynasty, sending students to study was a student learning from a teacher and being a disciple. Now the Japanese invaders in turn and are rebellious, and this sin alone is already a great crime. Wei Yuan also mentioned that the Japanese invaders killed the people, did all kinds of evil, exposed the things that the Japanese did one by one, and declared that they would be severely punished.
Without newspapers, the people are just talking about it.
After the newspaper was introduced, more people read it, which caused an even greater repercussion, arousing the anger of the people against the Japanese robbers.
In private, there are already people who are eager to eat their flesh and sleep their skin.
Li Zhen spent a day inciting the people's rejection of the little devils. In the early morning of the next day, news came out from the Admiral's Mansion that the captured would-be wouldn't be executed at the execution ground at noon.
Among them, Hanjiro Koizumi and Tanaka Chick are impressively listed.
When Hanjiro Koizumi learned that he was going to be killed, he regretted it to the extreme. He helped Li Zhen destroy Onizuka Seventeen, and in a blink of an eye, Li Zhen crossed the river and demolished the bridge, and he also wanted to kill him. It's a pity that Koizumi Hanjiro didn't even have the strength to resist, and was directly taken to the execution ground. Koizumi Hanjiro was full of resentment, but to no avail.
Tanaka Chick and the other eight samurai leaders were also tied and stood beside them, Tanaka Chi looked at Koizumi with a look of remorse and asked, "Koizumi-kun, Li Zhen used you to stabilize the samurai in the port, and then destroyed the onizuka and destroyed all the samurai." Now it's our turn, I'm afraid our results will be even worse, and if you look at the people around you, they all seem to want to eat us. ”
Koizumi Hanjiro glanced at the people below, and saw the hatred flashing in the eyes of the people, as well as the situation of some people clenching their fists, and his heart was extremely frightened.
This time, he must have died a terrible death.
When the people below the execution ground were raging and angry, the sound of rumbling horses' hooves was heard.
"The Admiral has arrived!"
A shout suddenly came out.
The people followed the prestige, only to see Li Zhen striding in a military uniform with a belt. Li Zhen's face is serious, his body is straight and straight, like a green pine erected, giving people a sense of tenacity and fortitude. The generals such as Huang Shihai and Qi Zhenhai who followed behind were all wearing military uniforms with serious expressions.
They were all energetic and full of heroism. As the saying goes, people rely on clothing, and the generals under Li Zhenhe appeared in military uniforms, not in wide official uniforms, which was more eye-catching.
The effect is very different.
Heroic and upright, resolute and heroic, so that the people nodded and praised again and again.
Such soldiers are the ones who defend their homes and the country.
Li Zhen, Huang Shihai, Qi Zhenhai and others stood with serious expressions after going to the execution ground.
Li Zhen stood at the front, looked at the people below, and saw that there were still some people holding children, or holding children, and even some children were also looking, frowning slightly. He retracted his gaze and shouted: "Folks, today's execution is quite special, it may be very bloody, and children are easily frightened. ”
As soon as the words fell, a scholar raised his arms and shouted: "The people who were killed on the execution ground were the Japanese invaders, the ones who invaded our homeland. If they don't even have the courage to witness the murder of the Japanese invaders, how will those children defend their families and the country when they grow up? Today, we must let them see clearly, see clearly the tragic situation of the Japanese invaders, and let them remember that the Japanese invaders are coming, and they will also kill the Japanese invaders in this way. ”
A look of surprise flashed in Li Zhen's eyes, he didn't expect there to be such a person.
Li Zhen didn't dwell too much on whether to avoid it, waved his hand at the Japanese coquette beside him, and shouted: "The Japanese coward is guilty of great sins, and he has lost his conscience. Their culpability has already been published in the newspapers, and I will not repeat it. After some deliberation with the officials, the official decided to carry out the punishment of 'a thousand cuts' on the Japanese invaders, so that the Japanese would always remember today's punishment and would not dare to invade our country. ”
"Good! Adults are good, this group of wolf-hearted and dog-hearted things should be cut with a thousand cuts. ”
"Kill, kill."
……
The people shouted one after another, and their faces were still full of joy.
However, the faces of Koizumi Hanjiro and the others who were tied up on the execution ground turned extremely pale, and their legs trembled with fright. Hanjiro Koizumi and Tanaka Chick both know that this punishment is very cruel with a thousand cuts.
Thousands of knives, also known as 'Ling Chi', 'Ling Chi' was a cruel way of execution, and the general description was to cut off the flesh of the human body piece by piece. However, there are also differences in the methods of execution in the past dynasties, generally cutting eight knives, first cutting the head and face, then the hands and feet, then the chest and abdomen, and finally the head.
In fact, it's more than eight knives.
The Qing Dynasty was even more different, with twenty-four knives, thirty-six knives, seventy-two knives, and one hundred and twenty knives.
Among them, the twenty-four knives refer to: one or two knives to cut both eyebrows, three and four knives to cut both shoulders, five or six knives to cut double ru, seven or eight knives to cut between the hands and two elbows, nine or ten knives to cut off the part between the elbows and two shoulders, eleven and twelve knives to cut off the flesh of the legs, thirteen and fourteen knives to cut the belly of the legs, fifteen knives to stab the heart, sixteen knives to cut the head, seventeen and eighteen knives to cut the hands, nineteen and twenty knives to cut the two wrists, twenty-one and twenty-two knives to cut the feet, twenty-three and twenty-four knives to cut the legs.
Compared with the Qing Dynasty, the Ling Chi of the Ming Dynasty was more delicate, and most of the Ling Chi exceeded a thousand knives.
Such a punishment requires a specific executioner, otherwise the person would have died before a thousand cuts. The most typical is Liu Jin, the great eunuch of the Ming Dynasty, who was cut alive for three days, with a total of 4,700 knives. What's even more terrifying is that it is said that after cutting on the first day, Liu Jin also drank a little porridge and continued the next day.
Such a punishment is absolutely terrifying.
Hanjiro Koizumi and Tanaka Chi experienced the feeling that life was worse than death, and they were terrified to the extreme.
At this time, I heard Li Zhen continue: "Today's 'Thousand Cuts' is different from the past, there is no executioner. In the past, it was an executioner's hand, but today the official is in charge and lets you do it yourself, one person with a knife, whoever wants to come up and do it, you can use the knife. It should be noted that you can't be stabbed to death with a knife, otherwise it will be cheaper. ”
"Bring up the knife!"
Li Zhen waved his hand, and ten soldiers walked up with ten long knives and placed them in front of each little devil. Ten little devils, including Tanaka and Koizumi Hanjiro, all have a knife in front of them.
Li Zhen pointed at the chickens and others in the field, and shouted: "They are the most heinous people among the Japanese people, and they want to do it themselves." As long as you don't stab you to death, you can do whatever you want. ”
Li Zhen's eyes swept away, and there was a faint expectation in his heart.
He wanted to change these meek people, so he adopted this method. Let the people participate, so that the people are no longer docile, because now is a troubled world of cannibalism.
