In Li Chang'an's eyes, Japanese pirates and young ladies were the same.

Before he even started moving, these people started shouting.

This group of Japanese pirates enjoys torturing others, but dislikes being tortured themselves.

Before the red-hot iron could even be applied, the group of Japanese pirates began to wail in pain.

Each note was louder than the last, as if they were having a competition.

Unfortunately, no matter how loudly they shouted, it wouldn't elicit any pity from the Ming soldiers; it would only make them feel satisfied.

The red-hot iron continued to press down on them, and with a hiss, the smell of roasted meat wafted out.

The skin was scalded and wrinkled, the intense heat traveling from the outer skin to the flesh and blood, and finally reaching the sensory nerves in the brain.

The pain bursts out suddenly, signaling to the body that this is a danger signal.

Wooden stakes were driven into the sand, and every member of the pirate crew was tied to a stake and tortured.

Each person uses a different method of punishment, but they all have the same ultimate goal.

That is to prevent these Japanese pirates from dying so easily.

Ideally, they should be able to clearly experience the process of each form of punishment.

Li Chang'an wished he could torture them every day, until the end of time, only then could he vent his hatred.

Even though she was tied up, Mutou Ran was still being stubborn, insisting that the island, which was suitable for fishing, was the territory of the Great Japanese Empire.

This behavior of the Ming Dynasty is an act of aggression, a disruption of peace, and a disregard for the majesty of the Great Japanese Empire.

It will surely incur the wrath of the Great Japanese Empire in the future, and will bring war and harm to the Ming Dynasty.

Hearing her nonsense, Li Chang'an couldn't be bothered to pay her any attention.

Okamura Yasuaki has already led 500,000 troops from the Eight-Nation Alliance to attack Fujian. The battle has already reached a life-or-death stage. What nonsense about disrupting peace is he spouting?

If we're talking about disrupting peace, it was the Japanese pirates who struck first.

Only the stubborn Xiong Er would argue with her for a few words, and then get so angry he'd be furious.

According to Muto Ran, Okamura Yasuaki's invasion of Fujian with an army of 500,000 was simply territorial expansion, which was perfectly reasonable and legal.

On the contrary, the fact that Ming soldiers were fishing on their own island was an act of aggression.

That would be taunting the dignity of the Great Sun Empire and would be punished by Amaterasu.

Li Chang'an sneered repeatedly at these double standards.

Okamura Yasuaki led his men to attack the Ming Dynasty first; his actions were merely a reasonable and legal counterattack.

As for whether the island nation can withstand his counterattack, that's not a question Li Chang'an needs to consider.

Moreover, what dignity does this island nation have?

Throughout the history of island nations, they have always been dogs to others.

He grovels before whoever is stronger.

territory?

Li Chang'an felt that after this trip, the island nation would cease to exist.

If he leaves even a single stone behind on the island nation, it's because he, the regent of the Ming Dynasty, has been incompetent.

Listening to Muto Ran's incessant chatter, constantly referring to the Great Japanese Empire and the disruption of peace, Li Chang'an grew somewhat irritated.

He certainly wouldn't allow the soldiers of Tai'an City to do anything inhumane to her.

Because once this kind of thing starts, it's very difficult to stop it.

So Li Chang'an simply had her arms and legs broken, and then threw her into a cave to be imprisoned.

Inside the cave were Kunlun slaves kept by the pirate gang; these people were truly worse than beasts.

Now, the Kunlun slaves, who had just eaten and drunk their fill, looked at Mutō Ran lying on the ground and their eyes lit up.

They never imagined that after a lifetime of picking cotton, they would encounter such good fortune.

As the cave closed, Mutou Ran's screams began to ring out.

Hearing her screams, no one present felt it was cruel; they just felt that Li Chang'an had let her off too easily.

Chen Da, his face grim, unleashed all the tortures he possessed upon the group of Japanese pirates.

He felt that no matter how much these Japanese pirates screamed, it could not extinguish the anger in his heart.

In front of the group of Japanese pirates being tortured, Zhang San and his brothers carefully dug a deep pit from the beach.

The pit was densely packed with countless corpses.

A group of Han Chinese slaves who had been rescued looked at the corpses, and their numb expressions began to waver.

As Zhang San continued digging, more and more corpses appeared.

Before long, a huge mass grave appeared before everyone.

The body buried at the bottom has been corroded into a skeleton by time.

The ones at the very top are also unrecognizable; only some physical features can still prove that they are Han Chinese.

Time may erase their remains, but it cannot erase the crimes of these Japanese pirates.

Kong Jie originally thought that Li Chang'an's methods of dealing with the Japanese pirates were somewhat cruel, and wanted to persuade him that killing someone was just a matter of beheading them, and there was no need to torture them like this.

However, upon seeing these disfigured corpses, Kong Jie abandoned his idea.

He now felt that Li Chang'an was still too soft-hearted.

We shouldn't have been so lenient with these Japanese pirates.

Even the ruthless Chen Da felt that he was far too kind compared to these Japanese pirates.

Every skeleton in the pit showed signs of torture.

Most of the bodies were dismembered, clearly indicating that their limbs had been severed before they were thrown into the pit.

There were also some undecomposed corpses, which showed obvious signs of struggle and were likely buried alive.

Among these corpses, the smallest was only the size of an embryo, indicating that it had only recently begun to develop.

These corpses were civilians plundered from Fujian by pirate gangs.

Japanese pirates treated these people as valuables and engaged in human trafficking on the island nation.

Strong and obedient people would be bought and turned into slaves.

Those with physical defects and who are disobedient will be tortured to death in front of everyone.

The purpose was to make an example of someone to deter others and make the people of the Ming Dynasty obedient.

Unfortunately, some people obeyed, but they still couldn't escape death.

The moment they were captured by these Japanese pirates, they could no longer be called human beings. They were called "Maruta" by the pirates and treated like pigs and dogs.

From the slaves, Li Chang'an obtained even more infuriating news.

That's why there were only men and no women among the slaves.

Because the women they abducted rarely lived more than a month.

Most of them were played with until they died, and then thrown into a pot to be boiled.

They became food for other slaves.

The torture inflicted on the Japanese pirates lasted all night.

When Kato Taka breathed his last, there wasn't an inch of intact flesh left on his body.

His last thought before he breathed his last was that he was finally free.

Unfortunately, Li Chang'an wouldn't let him off so easily.

The appearance of the Helllight allowed him to rediscover the warmth of humanity.

The scorching flames burned his soul, and beside him wailed the man he worshipped, Lord Okamura Yasuaki.
