Chapter 549: Chaos in Okinawa
"Kobayashi-kun, hurry up and follow me to the old palace to support, there are troublemakers distributing leaflets over there!" Inspector Nakagawasuke shouted loudly to Kobayashi River, who was napping in Jiaobanri.
"Those Ryukyuan people are making trouble again? What a hassle! If they want to be obedient to the braided barbarians in the north, it would be good for them to leave here and be 'clearers'! Xiao Linhe muttered, picked up the baton, and followed Nakagawa and walked out.
The so-called "detachment" refers to those Ryukyuan people who were dissatisfied with Japanese rule and chose to go into exile under the Qing Dynasty after the Meiji government implemented a series of "Ryukyu Division" policies.
Since 1872, when the Footpot Chicken government declared that the Ryukyu Kingdom belonged to Japan's "internal domain", Footpot Chicken began to implement a series of de-Sinicization measures in the so-called "Okinawa", including the prohibition of the use of Chinese characters, the prohibition of speaking the Ryukyuan dialect belonging to the Hokkien language family, the change of name and uniform, and the forced suspension of the compilation of the "Zhongshan Genealogy" and "Qiuyang" that recorded the history of the Ryukyu Kingdom.
For those Ryukyuan people who have been influenced by Han culture for centuries, changing names is unacceptable, and in Han culture, which is based on ancestor worship, the importance of a surname to a person is self-evident, and in Chinese culture, except for married women who take their husband's surname, it is rare to change their surname.
For the low-level people living in Ryukyu, whether the writing of "Zhongshan Shipu" and "Qiuyang" is stopped, or whether the school changes to Japanese, it is insignificant to them, and even the so-called ban on speaking Ryukyu is not taken very seriously.
But the foot basin chicken forced them to go to the Han surname, which really provoked the anger of the public, for those who belong to the Han culture, this Nima is to make people cut off their children and grandchildren! Even the surname has been changed, is my son still my son?
Since Kobayashi was sent to the Okinawa Prefectural Police Station, he has dealt with too many protests and conflicts caused by forced surname changes.
For those troublemakers, they used to beat them to death with batons with shields, but after the Great Song people bombarded Maguan, their superiors no longer allowed them to use force against the radical Ryukyuan.
In many cases, they can only surround the troublemakers, isolate them from important targets such as administrative agencies and municipal facilities, and then have to wait for them to get tired and leave on their own.
It is said that not long ago, the Great Song people sent a so-called observation mission to West Borneo on the grounds of "Chinese persecution", well, and then that huge "observation mission" squeezed the Dutch out of Borneo. Presumably, the above also didn't want to give the Great Song people any excuse to meddle in Okinawa's affairs, Xiaolinhe thought to himself.
Kobayashi followed the inspector to the old palace, where the last Ryukyu king had been "invited" to live in Tokyo, but the stubborn Ryukyuan people still held meetings from time to time in front of this complex that could prove the existence of their homeland.
The name-calling, the spittle flying in front of him, and sometimes even some stinky vegetables are the reasons why Xiaolinhe is passive and slacking off.
The gentle policy of the Foot Basin Chicken government towards these Ryukyuan people did not make them more civilized, and Kobayashi River could only silently endure those attacks in order to keep the iron rice bowl.
"Quick! Form a human wall to keep out the rioters who try to enter the old palace! As soon as he came to the scene, Kobayashi heard Director Jiaoban shouting loudly.
Didn't you say that it was just handing out leaflets? How did you gather so many troublemakers who tried to storm the old palace? It seems that today is inevitably going to suffer some flesh and skin! Kobayashi thought to himself.
Just as Kobayashi and Nakagawa tried to squeeze through the crowd and join up with their colleagues who had built a human wall at the entrance of the old palace, they suddenly heard someone screaming right next to them.
The crowd that had been crowded a second ago suddenly dispersed around Kobayashi River and Nakagawa Suke, and in this circle with a radius of about three meters, in addition to two uniformed Japanese policemen, there was also a man lying on the ground who had obviously taken in more air and less air out.
The bloodied man, dressed in traditional Ryukyuan Hanfu, was so badly wounded that he had no strength to moan. Standing next to him was a bewildered Nakagawa Suke, who held a blood-stained baton in his hand.
"Murderer!"
"The police have killed someone!"
Soon someone was shouting loudly in Ryukyuan from the crowd.
"Kobayashi-kun, you have to testify to me, I didn't wave my baton at all!" Nakagawa said with a sad face.
Cracking sound! Soon the troublemakers staged their repertoire – throwing rotten eggs, rotten vegetables and other miscellaneous items at the Japanese police.
Syllable! Syllable! Kobayashi, who had just been dragged into the formation by his colleagues, found that the force coming from the shield today was different from the past, and I don't know if it was affected by the injury of the Ryukyuan people just now, and the troublemakers actually threw stones at the police.
Bang! With the sound of glass shattering, Kobayashi felt a wave of heat rushing from the ground to his feet.
"Stand back! They are throwing Molotov cocktails! Director Jiaoban shouted loudly.
Bang! Bang! Bang! The wall built by the Okinawa Police Department in front of the old royal palace had just broken away from the burning line of fire, and several Molotov cocktails flew out of the crowd that confronted them.
Obviously, the troublemakers came prepared, who would go out shopping with a few glass bottles filled with kerosene, not afraid of burning themselves? I should have asked the Inspector for leave in the morning when I had a stomach upset, but now it's okay, I'm afraid I'll encounter a group of violent troublemakers! Xiao Lin He said with chagrin in his heart.
"Yamada-kun, I'll leave the rest to you!" A triangular eye watching the confrontation between police and protesters from a distance said in Japanese.
"Please rest assured, I will not disappoint Your Excellency's expectations." After the man named Yamada finished speaking, he bowed ninety degrees to the triangular eye.
Although there was still an injured man lying on the ground on what appeared to be a protester, and although the hot kerosene from Molotov cocktails had burned several police officers, the clash was somewhat de-escalated by the intervention of the experienced head of the Okinawa Police Department.
Several representatives nominated by the protesters were talking to the director of Koban through a wall of fire caused by Molotov cocktails, and Kobayashi was even optimistic that the troublemakers would soon disperse after the director promised to hand over the petition and investigate the injuries thoroughly.
"The lackeys of the Shina people get out of Okinawa!"
"Okinawa is the territory of the Great Japanese Empire!"
At this moment, a group of Japanese ronin, armed with knives, suddenly appeared at the scene of the confrontation and shouted loudly the slogans of those who offended the Ryukyuan people.
In the middle of that moment's brainstorm, the group of ronins brandished their weapons and rushed into the crowd on the protesters' side.
"Cai Bo, hurry up and close the door and bolt it, the Japanese ronin over there has already started to beat and kill people!" Cai Fu, who runs a grocery store in a neighborhood, said.
"Lizai! Take the guy and follow me over there to the Japanese ronin! Cai Fu erected a few door panels and saw someone come to greet his seventeen-year-old son.
"Don't go! You leave me at home! Cai Fu shouted at his youngest son.
"Cai Bo! Over there, the Lin family's medicinal herb shop was burned down by the Japanese ronin, do you think it's okay to hide at home? The person said.
"Money is something outside the body, as the saying goes, stay in the green mountains ......," Cai Fu pulled his youngest son and chattered.
"Daddy! What are you doing with Aoyama? Do you want incense for Inoue? The young man known as Li Zai interrupted Cai Fu's lecture.
In Inoue, the footbasin chicken government "gave" a new surname for the Cai family, a sharp thorn that pierced the Cai family's heart!
"Let's go, kill those ronins!" Li Zai shook Cai Fu's hand, carried the flat pole and ran towards the old palace.
