Chapter 893: Liquidation
On the morning of September 12, the Ming army began to move.
Zhu Cihong ordered 3,000 Spanish and indigenous soldiers to be selected from the prisoner camp and asked them to form a chengguan army to assist the Ming army in law and order.
The so-called 'law and order', that is, the arrest of people, is similar to the Imperial Allied Army in World War II......
In the next few days, the Chengguan army had to act as villains, specifically arresting, killing and taking the blame for the Ming army, so as not to tarnish the reputation of the Ming army.
Under the coercion of the Ming army, the Spanish colonial army experienced the helplessness of the colonists for the first time.
There is a reincarnation in the way of heaven, and it is finally your turn.......
According to the will given by Zhu Cihong, the Chengguan army must arrest 5,000 people involved in the riot within three days, and if there is one less, they will have to use their own lives to replenish the number!
On the same day, the streets and alleys, which had just been quiet for two days, became popular again, and a large number of 'urban management troops' began to arrest people.
Carrying guns and ropes, they broke into the door from time to time, and dragged the natives inside.
When encountering the rebellious natives, the Spanish soldiers unceremoniously beat them until they were paralyzed and had difficulty breathing, and then forcibly dragged them away.
If you run away and resist arrest, then you will be embarrassed and shoot directly!
When it comes to repression of natives, the Spaniards have a lot of experience and are familiar with how to do things.
However, all arrests, including interrogations, were under the strict supervision of the Ming army, and there were heavily armed Ming army patrols on every street, and if the Spaniards wanted to rebel, they could only go to the west.
"Martial law will continue for the whole city for three days, and everyone must stay at home and not walk around the streets!"
The streets and alleys were filled with the announcements of the Ming soldiers, and at the same time, there were a few local languages.
The streets became quiet, followed by the sound of chaotic footsteps and the sound of the chengguan army breaking through the door.
Then there was a shout, men and women, men and women, slaps, blunt beatings, and finally the indigenous men who were tied up and bloodied.
For a moment, Manila was plunged into terror.
Every native was so frightened that they didn't dare to sleep all night, for fear that the next thing to be smashed would be their own door.
There are also people who are a little relieved, because they see that most of the people who have been arrested are big brothers who have been in the limelight in the riots.
These were all leaders of large and small mob gangs, who used to go from house to house attacking Chinese, looting shops, and abusing women.
They are local ruffians and rogue bullies, usually very arrogant, and they are also the most cheerful in the riots, which has left a deep impression on many people, and they can be recognized by opening their mouths.
Sometimes, being in the limelight is not necessarily a good thing, for example, this time, the urban management army arrested these people who were in the limelight in the riots, and these people didn't need to be checked at all, and they enjoyed the treatment of being arrested at the first time.
If you catch the big brothers, it's much easier to do it below.
In the next few days, the chengguan army was even busier, not only arresting people, but also interrogating these leading brothers in prison and asking them to identify the younger brothers who participated.
Where there are rivers and lakes, there is morality, and under the influence of the Chinese, the natives of Luzon also pay attention to this.
Among the big brothers on trial, many of them are very uncooperative, looking like heroes who do things by themselves.
In the prison specially set up by the former Spanish colonial army to deal with the natives, five 'leading brothers' were hung naked, and there were several smiling Spanish 'city management soldiers' standing next to them.
Several 'chengguan' rolled up their sleeves and whipped their whips with full force.
Next to him, there are also two indigenous 'chengguan' boiling salt water, dipping whips into it from time to time, stacking buffs.
One of the indigenous soldiers also volunteered to be interrogated, and in view of the language advantage of the indigenous soldiers, the Ming soldier in charge of supervision agreed with a human kindness.
The native soldier happily picked up the whip, rolled up his sleeves, and professionally spat a few mouthfuls of phlegm on his hands, and then gritted his teeth and picked up the whip and whipped his compatriots fiercely.
This strength, this frequency, is much stronger than the Spanish 'chengguan' just now, and it is scary to watch.
"Say it or not! Say it or not! ”
The leading brother who was beaten suddenly opened his skin and screamed bitterly.
After hundreds of strokes, the executing native soldier wiped the sweat from his forehead, threw the whip in his hand into the salt water basin, and stacked the buff again.
Then, he took a sip of water, fished out the weapon in full state from the basin, walked up to the leading brother who was panting with his head down, and asked with a gloomy face: "Give you another chance, tell your accomplices!" ”
"Happiness and hardship, I will never betray my brother!"
"Okay, make your mouth hard!"
The indigenous soldiers didn't say much, they went up and beat them again, and the leather whip that was folded was very effective, and the eldest brother who took the lead sounded a heart-rending scream again, which was even stronger than before.
The operation was as fierce as a tiger, and the five leading brothers who were finally hung up, three of them were out of breath, and two were still screaming.
It's not that these leading brothers don't want to confess, but they really can't be prepared to recall so many people.
At that time, there was chaos in the riots, and many people did not know each other, and they all improvised and improvised together to commit violence.
After they robbed and burned and killed a Chinese, they scattered with their belongings, and then went to find their own targets, and the role of the leading brothers was mainly to be the first to do it.
Obviously, the Chengguan army will not let them go because of difficulties, they only need places.
Otherwise, according to the rules set by Ming's father, if there is a shortage of places, you have to fill in your life, how can this be!
At present, we can only follow the classic old method of interrogation, extort confessions by torture, let one person confess a few, arrest those others, and then torture to extract confessions, and then arrest people after confessing.
Although they have never studied mathematics, they also know that in this way, the number of people is only a lot more!
In another cell, a leading brother was tied to a tiger chair with three bricks on his heels, as if he was practicing yoga.
This guy is a celebrity, known as the leader of Manila Road, and there are many resident brothers under his hands.
During the riots, he was directly instructed by the Governor's Office to personally lead a team to loot Chinese homes and shops, and selected all wealthy Chinese, and organized several gang rape cases.
According to the temper of the Ming army, this guy had to be shot eight times, but in order to find out those little brothers under his hands, he could only let him live a few more days.
The eldest brother in the lead has a small temper, but his bones are very hard, and he also teaches the aborigines who are executed from time to time.
"If you want to kill, you can kill whatever you want, we won't betray our brother!"
"Everyone is a compatriot, and compatriots don't fight compatriots!"
"Brother, I see that your bones are amazing, you have the temperament of a big brother who is unique in ten thousand, why don't you follow me, and things on the road will depend on you in the future......."
In the face of this eldest brother's 'earnest teachings', the aboriginal soldiers who executed really had a trace of resonance, and the strength of the attack became weaker and weaker.
