Chapter 227: The Monument
More than 500 people knelt down together, the scene was still very spectacular, and the scene when the emperor ascended the throne in the movie was just like that, but Guo Zhiyuan did not have a pride of being self-respecting because of this, he felt more of a responsibility, these more than 500 people chose to follow him, he must be responsible for them, not just use them as a tool to expand his power, and hurriedly said loudly: "Everyone, hurry up, since everyone believes in me, you will be my brother in the future, I hope you live with dignity, don't kneel to others easily, Because your dead relatives are watching you from heaven, and they want you to live up to the heavens! ……”
Encouraged by Guo Zhiyuan, the Chinese prisoners all stood up, although it was only a few words, their mental outlook has undergone earth-shaking changes, their empty eyes have become resolute, their rickety bodies have stood up, looking at Guo Zhiyuan excitedly, looking at their eager eyes, they know that Guo Zhiyuan has become the savior in their hearts, no matter what Guo Zhiyuan asks them to do at this time, they will follow Guo Zhiyuan without hesitation.
At this time, in the office of the governor's palace Acuña, Acuña and Miguel were standing side by side in front of the window watching Guo Zhiyuan from afar, although Acuña did not participate in the final signing ceremony, but he was paying attention to Guo Zhiyuan's every move, Miguel pointed to Guo Zhiyuan in the distance and turned his head to Acuña and said: "Your Excellency the Governor, you see, this young biological messenger is really terrible, a few words will incite these walking dead biological human prisoners like bullfighting in our bullring, If you give him an army, think about what the effect will be......"
Acuña didn't speak with a gloomy face, before Miguel told him that Guo Zhiyuan would become the biggest threat to Spain's conquest of the East, he was a little unimpressed, and now he believed Miguel's words, although he hated Miguel's hypocrisy, but he had to admit that this magic stick was sometimes very poisonous, and he was now wondering if he should immediately tear up the agreement signed with Guo Zhiyuan, and strangle Guo Zhiyuan's threat in the cradle regardless of the consequences.
Miguel guessed Acuña's mind as soon as he saw the cold light flashing in his eyes, but he didn't want Acuña to kill Guo Zhiyuan now, Guo Zhiyuan promised to donate 10% of the annual tax deduction from the trade between China and Luzon to the church, which was a lot of money, so he smiled slightly and said: "Your Excellency the Governor, you don't have to be too nervous, no matter how powerful this young biological messenger is, he is now just a calf, as long as we still hold the matador's sword in our hands, don't worry too much, he can still bring us benefits now, We can't stop our trade with China, and we can raise him a little more and kill him before it is too late......"
Acuña's face was cloudy, and he thought for a moment and said, "Okay, then let him go for the time being, but I think you are right, sooner or later, this young biological human envoy will become the biggest threat to our conquest of the East, isn't there a few biological human servants around the bishop who have been developed into religious people by you?" Can we let them blend in with these biological people and lurk around this biological human messenger, so that we can always keep track of the movements of this young biological human messenger......"
Miguel glanced at Acuña and said with a smile: "Your Excellency the Governor, we want to go together!" In fact, I have already done so, and my men are among the 500 or so Chinese prisoners! ……”
After boosting the fighting spirit of the more than 500 Chinese prisoners, Guo Zhiyuan did not rush to take them away, these Chinese prisoners have been imprisoned for more than a year, and they have to engage in hard labor every day, and their bodies are very weak. Slaughter. The bodies of the victims in the killing were found and reburied, and he planned to build a monument in Balian, on the one hand, so that these victims could have a resting place, and on the other hand, it was also to let the Ming businessmen who did business in Manila in the future always be vigilant, not forgetting the shame, so that the tragedy of history will not be repeated!
Shen Lingyu and the others also got off the ship, and he finally had a place to use as a doctor, and he was so busy every day that he couldn't see a foot for these Chinese prisoners, and at the same time added some traditional Chinese medicine to the daily porridge and drinking water for the Chinese prisoners to eat, except for a very small number of Chinese prisoners who were in very poor physical condition, most of the Chinese prisoners' bodies began to recover slowly under Shen Lingyu's conditioning.
Guo Zhiyuan led his soldiers and some sturdy Chinese prisoners to clean up the Eighth Company, which had become a ruin, to find the remains of the victims. Buddhist nun. After the massacre, because they were worried that the corpses exposed to the air would cause a plague, the survivors were allowed to bury their bodies in the mass grave next to the Eighth Company, but there were also some victims because their families were killed, and the bones were uncollected, Guo Zhiyuan asked people to dig a big pit in the mass grave, and incinerated all the bones of these uncollected corpses into ashes and put them into the pit for reburial, and then found a stonemason to build a large stone tablet, and engraved all the names of the victims collected as much as possible on the stone tablet.
On the day of the erection of the monument, all the Chinese prisoners came, looking at the big tomb in front of them, all of them were full of grief, many people cried, Guo Zhiyuan raised his arms angrily and shouted: "Compatriots, don't cry, tears can't save our relatives, we should remember the tragedy of last year, let our country be strong, so that such a tragedy will not happen again!" ……”
As he spoke, he waved his hand vigorously behind him, and shouted, "Bring the murderer up!" The regimental training township soldiers behind him immediately brought up more than a dozen Filipino natives who were tied up, which was also part of the agreement, although Guo Zhiyuan also knew that these Filipino natives were not the real culprits, but as accomplices, these Filipino natives were equally hateful!
These Filipino natives knew that they were going to die, and their performance at this time was also different, some were trembling with fright, and some were staring at Guo Zhiyuan and them with resentful eyes, cursing loudly in their indigenous language, and the Chinese prisoners looked at these dozen Filipino natives with fire in their eyes, and they picked up stones on the ground and threw them at these Filipino natives!
"It's really barbaric! May the merciful Lord forgive you! ......" Bishop Miguel suddenly appeared with several missionaries dressed in black robes, followed by a pair of Spanish soldiers with loaded guns!
