C510 Pier capture (2/2)

”From this moment onwards, captives are not allowed to be mistreated, and even more so, prisoners are not allowed to be killed!”

With a boom, the people on the wharf cried out, ”Why?” These bastards have killed so many of us, why can't we kill them? Your majesty must avenge the dead! ”

Tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians were kneeling on the ground crying. Their only request was to kill the captives, to kill all of them.

The situation immediately became chaotic, how could Shang Tai have the experience to deal with such a group of people, riding on a horse, he was helpless. At this critical moment, General Liang Kun arrived and saw the situation, he was furious.

”Where's Lu Ying? F * ck you, how can you control a soldier … ”Blow the gathering number, let the new army gather for me first. What are they trying to coax me out of the crowd …”

Lu Ying ran over with a reddened face and saluted, ”Yes! ”Blow Assembly...” Soon after, the bugle sounded. The new army on the wharf began to leave the crowd. The soldiers looked for their squad leader, and the company leader looked for his company. One by one, the troops began to assemble into a squadron.

The army was such a strange group. They were spread out among the commoners, and their emotions were also affected by the surrounding environment. However, as long as they gathered together and found their own organization under the army, collectivism would immediately replace individualism.

It didn't matter what they wanted to do, what mattered was what they wanted to do collectively. The only thing that decided what they wanted to do collectively was the military officers, and only their leaders.

”All of them! Rest a bit... Stand at attention! The entire army was uniformly tying up the prisoners. They were not allowed to beat and abuse them, nor were they allowed to kill them … Once the captives finished counting, they were immediately handed over to the student soldier … ”Execute the command!”

”Yes …” ”Execute the command!” The entire army took the platoon as a unit and started to move in a style that separated the civilians from the captives.

One by one, French soldiers were brought up from the sea. After collecting the weapons, they were registered by the student soldier, who was fluent in foreign languages.

The people on the streets were staring hatefully at each other. Did it mean that someone had thrown a stone at them? But because there were soldiers maintaining order, every time there was a disturbance, it was blocked by the new army.

”Friend, don't smash it anymore, if you continue, it'll hit my body …” ”We also have orders. Don't worry, once the prime minister returns, we won't spare them …”

”That's right, that's right. Master, don't be so agitated. Sit behind the door and rest for a while. Don't be angry …” What do you think? If we kill them all, won't we kill the prime minister when he returns? ”Let's leave a few for the prime minister …”

”Right, right, right. Let's leave a few for the prime minister to enjoy …” People were really like children when they were old, yet he still believed in such an excuse. However, such a small interlude did dilute the hostility in the crowd.

Sakamoto Ryoma, Huashan Liyuan and the other high ranking Japanese officials were all filled with admiration. They could not say anything about the soldiers the Prime Minister Xiao had trained.

The most difficult way to lead soldiers was to stop them from getting angry. If you wanted to make soldiers go crazy, there were many ways to make them risk their lives and risk their lives, but to stop an army after a bloody war was very difficult.

After the bloody battle, the soldiers' hearts were filled with too much malice. Being bathed in their own blood, they relied on their bloodthirsty and savage primal desire to kill to sustain their spirits.

Why was it that the end of the great war from ancient times required the massacre of cities, looting, and the torture of captives? It was the hostility of the entire army that had to be released.

Ordinary soldiers didn't receive much education, nor did they understand the methods to control their emotions. This sort of hostility was ultimately vented through violence.

On this point, the Japanese samurai had the same feeling, this nation was small but violent, their thousands of years of history had never made any progress on the topic of 'anger control'. After every war, you have to go and see, the Japanese soldiers had to vent, otherwise the army would go into chaos.

And today, the new army of Ryukyu had displayed this special ability to stop their anger, and had completely conquered them. Sometimes, the difference between going up and going down could be seen on this point.

Sakamoto Ryoma said in a low voice, ”When I was young, I grew up in the Four Great Kingdoms. The ocean water in the Pacific Ocean was too vast, and at that time I thought that my heart was like the ocean … But today, after I met the Prime Minister Xiao, I finally understand that my magnanimity is not even comparable to a pond. The Prime Minister is that man that is as deep as the Pacific Ocean … ”

Huashan Liyuan was completely convinced now. He recalled the scene where he was fighting against Xiao Letian, and even his calves were trembling. ”Ha Yi …” )) If your heart is like a pond, then I will be as small as a teacup! ”

Zhu Zhongjingshang who was behind the crowd leaned on one side of the dilapidated wall weakly and muttered to himself, ”How did you do that? How did the Prime Minister train such an army? There must be a reason behind it, what exactly is this logic? ”
