Chapter 495: Children (3)

A spring rain that quietly came at night washed the sky very thoroughly, and the brilliant morning glow like a flame hung in the sky, telling all the people under this sky that today is another sunny day.

The air is still cool with morning dew, the early morning sun passes through the leafy banyan trees beside the streets, cut by the hanging fine aerial roots, casts patches of irregular light on the neat avenues, the Pearl River passes through the center of the city, flowing peacefully and quietly, the birds perched under the eaves of the city are awakened by the sun, and start their daily morning movement, and the sound of birdsong lingers in the air.

It seems that today, as usual, will be an ordinary and ordinary day again.

Today's city of Guangzhou woke up much earlier than in the past.

Before the sun could radiate its warmth, along the banks of the Pearl River, there were already groups of citizens on several streets in the widest and most prosperous city center of Guangzhou.

Along the side of the wide road along the Pearl River, the various tea houses and restaurants and porridge shops also opened their doors early to do business, and many old tea customers gave up their fixed seats for many years and grabbed the seats on the street on the second floor, and they greeted each other easily and chatted.

From the sound of yawns, many of them did not sleep at all last night. Everyone was talking about the same topic, and that was the upcoming ceremony of the Victory Ceremony.

With the three-legged black generously scattering golden feathers all over the flower city. Under the golden light, the clean streets, the manicured green belts, and the brightly dressed crowds all look more energetic.

Today, although there are many people on both sides of the street, there are few people in the middle of the street, only a few scavengers occasionally cleaning up the leaves blown by the wind. Also, leave immediately after cleaning up.

A thick white line was painted with lime on the road. The patrol police, together with the security chiefs and the first chiefs of various departments, will patrol back and forth in their respective marked areas with short sticks in their hands. The servants of the various yamen in Guangzhou City have long been centralized and uniformly dispatched and used, and they are really waiting for thousands of people. Under the gaze of all people, the scavengers who seemed to be quite humble in the past also appeared to have a special status, and under the gaze of everyone, they sprinkled extremely seriously. paved with burnt ash. It is a glutinous rice chicken barbecued pork bun that fell on the ground, and you can pick it up and eat it without hesitation, because it is really spotless, this style, I am afraid that the emperor will not be able to do this.

Several viewing platforms and color sheds have already been erected on the road leading from the Tianzi Wharf to the Governor's Yamen, which are full of people from Liangguang, Fujian, Jiangxi, Taiwan, Nanzhong, Luzon and other places who have come to participate in this grand occasion, and they are all figures, high-ranking officials and generals who have heads and faces in the jurisdiction and system of the Nanyue Army. There were also religious figures from all walks of life, such as Father Alfonso, who were grouped together in a single shed. So, "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable" and "Amitabha". The voice of "Ersai Liangmu Alaikun" and "Lord" were intertwined and mixed together.

With the sound of a trumpet, the entire city of Guangzhou suddenly became quiet. Everyone recognized from the sound of the trumpet that it was the ceremonial etiquette of the presence of the grandfather of the country.

As soon as the trumpet sounded on the ground, from the end of the long street, the sound of hooves roared, and five healthy horses escorted a large eating horse slowly.

Zheng Sen, who was surrounded by several personal guards, walked slowly, with a brilliant golden crown on his head, and a collar of Li Huaying's mother and daughter leading a hundred flowers brocade cloak carefully sewn by seven or eight tailors. The whole person is like a white-robed junior in a small talking book, like jade. Majestic-looking. It really attracted the admiring eyes of many onlookers.

Under the gaze of this kind of eyes, Zheng Sen rode his horse quite enjoyably to the front of the colorful building where Li Shouhan was sitting, and knelt on the ground. In his hand, he held high the seal of Guan Fang: "His subordinates Zheng Sen and Wu Liuqi were ordered to crusade against rebellion in Taiwan and Luzon Nanyang, relying on the great blessing of their ancestors and the courage of their soldiers." The rebels have been wiped out one by one, and the seal letter has been returned! ”

After returning the sealed letter, another salute official recited aloud the results of the battle against Zheng Sen and Wu Liuqi in the Nanyang Islands, and recited this list of achievements at the same time through seventy or eighty loud voices holding copper trumpets in their hands, which also made the onlookers in Guangzhou at this moment know the results of the battle for the first time.

"The Nanyang security war. Luzon destroyed the country eight, Southern Luzon five, and North Luzon three. In response to the plea of the people of Bo Ni, 300 volunteers bravely broke through the Bo Mu, captured the royal family, and distributed the goods and goods with the poor people. Java destroyed 30,000 Calvin rebels, and 120,000 Green Cult rebels. More than 4 million people were recaptured, and more than 200 new counties were established. After this battle, it reached Hejing in the north and ten prefectures in the south, with no city, no county, no village and no village officials. ”

Although everyone was happy to hear the results of the war, and many people benefited from this war, many people in Guangzhou, who tasted a cup or two in the teahouse, loudly discussed the matter of letting their children go to Nanyang to fish the world.

However, after all, there is no next thing that makes the public feel more enthusiastic.

The hero everyone was waiting for finally appeared in the midst of the crowd's chanting.

From far and near, three black carriages appeared in people's sight. The carriage was made up of four tall horses, and the carriage was very simple and open. What makes everyone strange is that the carriage of each carriage has a batch of brocade forging, and there are words on it, when you see the words on it, everyone is relieved. These words are: Nanyue Army, Naturalized Volunteer and Nanzhong People.

It indicates that the victory of this Nanyang public security war is the common merit of the Nanyue Army, the naturalized volunteers and the people of Nanzhong. If you want to understand this, and then look at the flag on the front of the car, the identities of the three people in the car will be clear. They were Wu Liuqi, Sedek Bale, and a humble slave under the former Sultan, but on the side of the Nanyue Army, they became the dazzling heroes of Gudamai who captured the Sultan and his prime minister.

When they saw who the three people in the car were, the people suddenly burst into joy. As early as a few months ago, the newspapers had advertised the names of these three people, and everyone knew that they were known to women and children. By the way, the editors also gave full play to the spirit of entertainment, and countless heroes and legends were spread in the teahouse restaurant. Especially Wu Liuqi, there are already more than seventy-two wives in various versions.

In the face of the enthusiastic crowd, Saidekbale and Gudamai were a little restrained, but Wu Liuqi was used to seeing them, so he kept waving his arms enthusiastically and proudly to greet everyone. This son of eastern Guangdong has long been the pride of the Cantonese people, and his great achievement is even more talked about by the people of Guangzhou, and now his own people and heroes are waving to him in front of him. The cheers were so thunderous that the middle-aged woman who fainted on the side of the street left the police and the on-site doctor scrambling.

When the emotions of the masses were almost brewing, Wu Liuqi put on a pose and announced: The prisoner sacrifice ceremony has officially begun. With that, the carriage began to accept the cheers of the fanatical crowd all the way, and slowly moved forward, and the three of them raised a dilapidated star and moon flag together. Then, like throwing a rag, he threw this once majestic flag to the ground in front of him, and let the horse's hooves trample and the wheels run over. Their move immediately caused another round of cheers.

Then there were the flags of the cross, and the rest were the flags of some earth kings. Throwing all the way, loudly announcing who the original owner of the flag was, in which battle it was captured, and so on. Every time the flag was tossed, it triggered a tsunami of cheers. Since there were too many flags, the three simply grouped them together and threw them into the street together.

These rags were thrown along the way, and the people on the side of the road kept chanting God the great, Allah Great, and long live Nanzhong. When I walked to the shed, which was full of religious people from all walks of life, some people wearing white hats and black robes poured out of the shed, trying to spit on the flags, but they were stopped by the police.

The carriage slowly drove in front of the people and went straight to the Cai Lou where Grandpa Guo was. And the main play has just begun. People look towards the end of the road, hoping to see the carloads of skulls. That is, the grand occasion of Kyokan. It's a pity that what they finally saw was a black oppressive piece of human heads, but it was a group of living people who filled the entire field of vision.

The men were neatly dressed, and although many of them were wounded, they had apparently been carefully healed. But there are also things that cannot be cured, and that is fear and despair. These people are like puppets. They were driven by the soldiers who escorted them. The road was smooth, but from time to time someone tripped over him. After watching this scene, a reporter from Southern Weekly wrote in his interview book: "Although these people are able-bodied, they are just a group of walking dead. ”

And the people who drove these shells were even more admirable. It's a group of women who don't let their eyebrows go. Everyone can see it at a glance. It probably means to humiliate these bandits who treat women as nothing. The female soldier leaders for the first two are even more conspicuous, one is fat and tall, and the other is slender and smart, except for the two famous pro-soldier leaders under the command of the eldest lady, fathead fish and small hemp stick, who else can it be?

It's a pity that the two girls are holding military flags in one hand and long whips in the other, and their faces are serious. The female soldiers in the back are also majestic, and there are even a few women from Northern Xinjiang who carry bows and arrows on their backs, but they are the Sauron personal soldiers of the Seventh Lady Auri Yilan. These women are all heroic and upright, and the long whips in their hands are directed, and those captives are like livestock, and the battle flags are fierce, which makes people even more proud of them. In this situation, the most frivolous prodigal children did not dare to make a mistake.

Although people feel admiration and respect for these girls who represent the prisoners held by the Nanyue Army from the bottom of their hearts, they are not treated so well.

I don't know which one took the lead first, from the crowd on the side of the road, from the windows facing the street, rained fruit pits, vegetable skins, chicken feet, duck bones, rotten eggs, etc., and I don't know who threw all the shoes on his feet into the captives on a whim. Moreover, there are more than one person or two people who do this. The scavengers who were responsible for cleaning up the streets afterwards packed up as many as a cart of shoes of all kinds and made a deal for the shoe factory.

The female soldiers escorted the captives like a herd of prison animals, and walked slowly for half an hour on the streets where hundreds of thousands of people scolded the thieves in unison, and then walked to the Cailou where Li Shouhan, the Duke of Liang, was sitting to offer prisoners. Later, someone created an oil painting based on the scene of that day, and the name was "Female Soldiers on Victory Day". It's just that the fathead fish is beautified into a slightly plump beauty, and the author roars confidently in the face of doubts: "Why is no one questioning the beauty of a man's wife in Tessie?" I can't do a little bit of art? ”

Of course, these are all small episodes, and the most impressive thing is that at the end of the procession of these captives, it turned out to be a group of scavengers driving the wagons and scattering lime all over the places where the captives walked. Many people were puzzled, and it wasn't until a reporter interviewed Wu Liuqi afterwards that he was told that the lord was afraid that the garbage would dirty the land in Huacheng, so he disinfected the land.

The open space in front of the Cailou was crowded with prisoners. Most of them were selected from among the rebels, and they were originally considered to be well-known figures in their own gangs. I don't want to be escorted here today and face the final judgment. Many people curse in their hearts the gods they originally believed in, if they hadn't come to bewitch me in your name. I'm afraid I'm still sleeping under the coconut tree at this time! But he had forgotten all the acts he had done to kill at will during the days when the traitors were at their most arrogant.

If Sultan Yusupu, who was captured by Gudamai, had not been tied to a wooden cross and pulled by a cart, he would have turned into a pile of mud, and his crotch was also wet. It smells fishy outward. However, the leader of the Calvinist militia was still quite bold, and cursed loudly at Li Shouhan on the Cai Lou, but no one could understand the language he spoke, and he was tied with thick hemp rope like a rice dumpling, so naturally no one knew what he said.

Without waiting for anyone else to say anything, a group of people rushed out of the colorful shed next to Li Shouhan, rushed through the cordon set up by the patrol and soldiers, and rushed to the leader of the Calvinist rebels and cursed loudly. Holding a cross and a Bible in his hand, he scribbled on the big boss's face in the way of expelling evil spirits.

When the soldiers and patrolmen saw this scene, they also smiled bitterly, and it was difficult to stop them.

The leader is the "Archbishop of the Benevolence to Save the World, Return to the Yuan Xianyou, the Deification of Chong Yuan Fuzheng Yejiao", commonly known as the Cardinal Archbishop, Archbishop Alfonso, who is the only Orthodox leader under the order of the Grandpa Guo. rushed out at this time, naturally to show his loyalty to Grandpa Guo.

He poured a bucket of holy water on the head and face of the Calvinist leader without money, hating that he had to kill you and choke you with water.

In fact, it is not difficult to understand that Alfonso is now the only legitimate messenger of God under the rule of the Nanyue Army, and there are a number of original Calvinist members as the backbone of the church. Naturally, it is necessary to seriously dissociate oneself from the Calvinist traitors. If Lee allowed it, they could even take the place of the executioner to execute these Calvinist traitors as their own petition.

It's a pity, though. When Archbishop Alfonso, on behalf of the hundreds of thousands of believers of the only legitimate Orthodox Church, proposed to "the protector of the Church, the projection of the Seraphs in the world", and Li Shouhan, the Duke of Liang, to burn all these sinners who opposed the Nanyue Army under the banner of God, he was rejected by Li Shouhan, the Duke of Liang, who had the virtue of a good life.

"Just kidding! They were all burned at the stake and burned to charcoal, who will do the hard labor that Lao Tzu lacked in the mines? Originally, it took a lot of rations to support them these days, and at this time, they were not allowed to contribute the last bit of surplus value of their lives?! Qian skewer Li Shouhan cursed in his heart.

In the spirit of God's love and forgiveness, Li Shouhan generously announced the final decision on the punishment of these lost lambs who opposed the Nanyue army under the banner of the cross.

"Except for the leaders and leaders of the more than 100 people. The remainder were exempted from capital crimes. Hearing this, there was a burst of cheers among the bandit captives, and some even sang hymns aloud.

"Damn it! You thieves! The one who allows you to sing the Psalms of God's praise! Several senior clergy in the church snatched the short sticks and whips from the patrolmen's hands and struck the hymn-singing captives headlessly.

However, there was a turning point.

Although the capital crime is gone, it is an act of atonement for the crime he has committed. These Calvinists were taken prisoner and thrown into the camps. Whether they will face a mine cave with no fingers out of their reach, a lumber yard that will not see the sun all day long, or a fight with a bay crocodile depends on their fate.

At the strong request of Archbishop Alfonso, Li Shouhan had to sabotage a verdict that he had personally drawn up against his will. The death penalty of the Calvinist leader was changed to a punishment that was consistent with Catholic rules.

"Master, you have a little bit in your hand when you start, and after we delay them, we will tie them to the stake and burn them to death!" The apprentice handed over the handkerchief and asked the master to wipe the sweat from his head.

The executioner who was poached by Niu Qiandao from the Jinyi guard listened to the apprentice's reminder and pouted his lips with disdain, "Don't worry." It's so easy for us to make people suffer in this craft! At the beginning, our ancestor killed Liu Jin! The result? Liu Jin survived for several days before he died! ”

As for Yusupu Sultan, he was not so lucky. Unable to quickly end his painful process at the stake, he could only watch as the executioner carefully cut off the flesh from his body one by one and threw it into a wooden barrel. There were more than a dozen medical school science maniacs on the side, who refused to let go of such a good opportunity for human experiments, holding pen and paper on the side to write and draw.

As the envoy of the Ottoman Empire, Koplulu also participated in this grand celebration before leaving, and when he saw the ****** brothers being executed by Ling Chi, he cheered loudly, and then said that this trick was very useful, and he must promote it in the major counterinsurgency battlefields of the Ottoman Empire after he returned.

Yusupu Sultan's flesh was sent to several pig farms on the outskirts of Guangzhou for fodder.

He and dozens of his ministers and generals died after three days of wailing in the city of Guangzhou. After death, the body was made of stone and used for several years in a trough and buried.

Thought that the comer was admonished! (To be continued.) )
