The pier of Satsuma Domain is crowded with people today.
Countless Japanese people rushed here and surrounded the entire dock with water.
In a place like this, Xia soldiers are only a very small number.
However, they did their part and were the absolute protagonists.
Liu Yiyuan and Zuo Hua specially put on lieutenant general uniforms, one yellow and one white, with the general stars on their shoulders shining brightly, making it difficult to look directly at them.
The Japanese in the distance pointed at the appearance of the Xia soldiers, and at the same time there was deep envy in their eyes.
At this moment, every Xia soldier straightened his back, held his head high, and looked at the frightened Japanese people with the most contemptuous eyes.
As a soldier, the most glorious moments are when you show off your power in a foreign land.
Huo Qubing sealed Lang Juxu, and Li Jingxue defeated the Turks at night, which have already become their role models.
But now, their achievements far exceed those of their predecessors.
Chen Zhibang and others were brought back and received deep comfort from Liu Yiyuan and Zuo Hua.
The two military commanders also awarded them hero medals.
Chen Zhibang and others' last worries disappeared and they returned to the queue, eagerly looking forward to the next program.
A platform has already been set up on the pier.
When the auspicious moment came and the sound of cannons sounded, Liu Yiyuan and Zuo Hua led a group of generals onto the platform and stood on the north side.
After a while, Shimazu Mitsuhisa led the retainers of Satsuma Domain and appeared dejectedly.
This is the darkest moment for the Satsuma Domain, but Shimazu Mitsuhisa must endure it.
He slowly walked onto the platform and came to the opposite side of Liu Yiyuan and Zuo Hua.
"Your Excellency, General Liu, Your Excellency, General Zuo, I am truly sorry. The Satsuma Domain is so arrogant and unreasonable, and we would like to formally express our apology to the Xia Kingdom."
After saying this, Shimazu Mitsuhisa and his retainers knelt down on the ground and buried their heads towards Liu Yiyuan and Zuo Hua.
This is the Japanese ritual of sitting under the earth, and it is the highest etiquette for asking for forgiveness.
Liu Yiyuan pulled out his sword and placed the blade on Shimazu Mitsuhisa's head.
"If you want to apologize, show your sincerity."
Shimazu Mitsuhisa quickly opened the wooden box in his hand, then took out the apology form inside, raised his hands high, and held it in front of the Xia delegation.
Zuo Hua took a step forward, took the Satsuma clan's apology form with only one hand, and then held it up high.
"On behalf of His Royal Highness King Xia, I would like to pardon the Satsuma clan for all their sins. If they do it again, they will not be spared!"
"Hey..."
From Shimazu Mitsuhisa down, all the people of Satsuma Domain fell to the ground one after another, seeking their own survival in this way.
Liu Yiyuan put the sword back into its sheath and left one last sentence.
"The kindness of the Xia Kingdom is more precious than gold. I hope you will not be tempted easily. When this general leads his army again, the Satsuma Domain will be wiped out."
Shimazu Mitsuhisa and others put their heads on the ground. Although they all burst into tears, they still had to endure this humiliation.
"Retreat the troops! Return!"
After completing the surrender ceremony, the Xia army boarded the warship and slowly sailed out of Kagoshima Bay. As they went further and further away, the rumble of cannons continued.
I saw black smoke steaming from the mountains on both sides, and debris flying. The earth shook, the mountains shook, and the sea trembled.
When all the Japanese people saw this scene, they were filled with uncontrollable fear deep in their hearts.
I believe that from now on, Xia Kingdom will become an eternal nightmare in their minds.
"Chief of the General Staff, Minister, we have been disgraced. We have become shamefully prisoners of war."
Chen Zhibang and others were brought in front of Liu Yiyuan and Zuo Hua. They all burst into tears, and all their grievances burst out.
"Who said you are shameful?"
An unexpected sound rang out from the cabin, shocking Chen Zhibang and others.
When they turned back, they saw a scene they would never forget.
The guards dispersed layer by layer, revealing a tall and majestic figure.
That voice is extremely familiar to every Xia soldier, and is deeply engraved in their minds, treating it as an eternal idol and role model.
That figure used to be so far away from them that as long as they could catch a glimpse of it, they would be the greatest happiness.
Unexpectedly, that figure appeared in front of them today, looking at them kindly.
Zuo Mengeng was actually on the boat.
This is strictly confidential except for Liu Yiyuan, Zuo Hua and a few other people.
In order to be able to make the trip, Zuo Mengeng spent a lot of time convincing everyone. Even so, before leaving Japan, everyone's hearts were in their throats.
Seeing the commander's calm and composed appearance at this time, many people couldn't help but feel ashamed.
Be calm in every big event.
Zuo Mengeng taught them many times, but not many people could do it.
"Your Highness..."
A thousand words can't be as good as Zuo Mengeng's comfort.
Seeing Zuo Mengeng walking in front of them, Chen Zhibang and others cried even louder.
"Everyone can see your heroic fighting. Today's victory includes your efforts, and no one can deny this. You have made sacrifices for the country, and the country will never
I will abandon you. Stand up tall and show your grace. Tell everyone in the world that you are heroes!"
Chen Zhibang and others completely changed their appearance.
Roots grew under their feet, iron was cast into their bodies, and their souls glowed.
They finally recovered everything they once owned.
Zuo Mengeng felt really excited as he looked at the soldiers who were glowing with vitality.
In the culture of the Chinese nation, being a prisoner is an absolutely shameful thing. It can be said that life is worse than death.
There have been countless such people who have suffered for this.
This is not what they should have to endure.
All Zuo Menggeng did was to fundamentally change the world's concepts.
Let the heroes get the treatment they deserve.
The huge ship broke through the waves and headed westward.
Those were the footsteps of a wanderer returning home, and they were so hurried that it was heart-wrenching.
What I missed was the Japanese ship.
The overcrowded people on the ship were Japanese prisoners of war.
As the two ships crossed each other, one could see that the prisoners of war were like dead zombies, pitifully crowded on the deck, and one could even hear the Japanese generals spitting at them.
Occasionally, the whip flew, hitting their bodies with blood and flesh splattering, making them miserable.
However, no one cares about their feelings. Who told them to become shameful prisoners?
Finally, we were on a ship. There was only one person kneeling on the deck. He opened his clothes and looked longingly towards the east with a pale face.
Shimazu Hisaki stood beside him, looking at him with disgust on his face.
"You don't deserve to live. You have brought disgrace to the Satsuma clan. A true samurai needs to know shame."
Xinna Zhongqing wanted to refute, but all his words became powerless when he reached his mouth.
During the Battle of Tsushima, he was the commander of the vanguard. After falling into the water, he survived the catastrophe and was captured by the Xia army.
As a senior general of the Satsuma Domain, he did not choose to fight to the death and became a prisoner. This was unacceptable to the Satsuma Domain.
No one wants him to return to Japan.
There is only one ending for him.
Xinna Zhongqing slowly picked up the short sword and raised it while still reluctant to leave Dongfang's eyes.
