Chapter 334: Thirty Days of Bloodshed
[It's the last day of February, and if you still have a monthly pass in your hand, please throw the monthly pass to Hengyi]
On 20 March, Yan Xueyi issued a military martial law order to the whole country, and the entire army and armed police were dispatched to impose martial law on the whole country for a period of one month and 30 days. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
For the next 30 days, the staff of the Ministry of Intelligence, with the cooperation of the army, the armed police, and the security police, arrested the people who had identified targets in the empire, and those who dared to resist were killed.
On April 20, Ouyang Kangzhen, the supreme leader and founder of the "Removing Faces" Alliance, the largest rebel group in the empire, was arrested.
On April 21, Yan Xueyi issued an order to lift martial law, the army and armed police withdrew to their original stations, and imperial commerce began to return to normal.
From March 20 to April 21, it was 30 days of bloodshed, with thousands of people captured and those who dared to resist killed on the spot.
By the end of the Great Purge, there were 140,000 rebels. Nationalists and suspicious elements were arrested or killed, and nearly 700,000 people rebelled. When the "three tribes" of the country are controlled, they will be reduced to sinners, although the crime will not lead to death, but they will also be castrated by men and women, and no more children and grandchildren will be allowed, and they will work hard for the construction of the empire all their lives.
As the interrogation of the suspicious elements progresses, more traitors may be discovered. The number of people who are degraded to sinners will increase greatly.
Rebel. The state crime was the most punishable criminal law in the imperial criminal law, and it was not only punishable by treason. The ruler of the country shall be punished with death, and the three tribes shall be brought to disaster.
During this month, because of military martial law, the empire's commerce came to a standstill, or even regressed, and the streets were full of heavily armed soldiers and armed police, how could ordinary people dare to go to the streets?
Fortunately, martial law only lasted for a month, and after the end of martial law, the empire's commerce recovered rapidly, and if the military martial law lasted longer, I am afraid that it would cause some fundamental losses to the empire.
Although the 30-day purge was over, the matter was not fully understood.
The Great Purge was indeed a hidden rebellion within the empire. A large part of the country has been unearthed, but there are still many hidden ones that have not yet been discovered, and the Ministry of Intelligence and the soon-to-be-established Ministry of Security will continue to look for rebels. The countryman does not dare to say that he will rebel against all. All the kingdoms will be destroyed, but let the rebels be made. The disappearance of the state made those who were petty no longer dare to carry out any sabotage against the country.
The biggest gain in the Great Purge is to capture Ouyang Kangzhen, the supreme leader and founder of the most hidden resistance organization in the empire, Ouyang Kangzhen, without Ouyang Kangzhen as a key figure, the "Remove Beauty" alliance will basically fall apart, and its impact on the empire will be greatly reduced.
This purge under the orders of Yan Xueyi was nominally a search and arrest of the rebels. In fact, there was another important role in the Great Purge, which was to rebel against all the restless forces that had returned to the Chinese Empire from the Manchu Dynasty. National sins are purged.
Many of the people who returned to the Manchu Dynasty were restless, and the Manchu Dynasty was about to fall, and they were unwilling to bury the Manchu Dynasty and put them under the command of the Empire, which happened to need manpower and appease the domestic people, so they dealt with those who committed the most evil crimes and had a bad reputation, and the rest were more or less given official positions.
Although some of them did not take the initiative to rebel, they were prepared, and if the situation in the Chinese Empire was not good, they would follow suit, which would further expand the wounds of the empire.
This is Yan Xueyi does not want to see, Yan Xueyi does not want such a group of restless people to exist within the empire, so after the purge began, he directly put some people on rebellion. The name of national crimes is arrested, and their fate is already doomed.
Of course, those who sincerely surrender to the empire, Yan Xueyi will not attack them, Yan Xueyi has not yet reached the point of indiscriminately killing innocents.
The South China Sea Fleet was the key target of the Great Purge, the South China Sea Fleet was reorganized from the Nanyang Fleet from the Manchu Dynasty, and the Pacific Fleet was reorganized from the Beiyang Fleet from the Manchu Dynasty.
The navy is the key development object of the empire, Yan Xueyi doesn't want to see the existence of this group of people in the navy, should it be disposed of or disposed of, even the former Pacific Fleet commander Liu Buyun and the former South China Sea Fleet commander Zhang Zhidong were demoted, and finally served as an admiralty adviser, basically there is no possibility of further progress for life, even so, Liu Buyun and Zhang Zhidong still have to be grateful to Yan Xueyi, if this kind of thing happened during the Manchu Dynasty, the two of them were basically all over the house.
With the purge of the middle and upper officers of the old military personnel of the two major fleets of the Navy, the two fleets were completely taken over by the naval system cultivated by the empire itself, although after the great purge, the combat effectiveness of both fleets will decline to a certain extent, but it will not take long for the two fleets to recover their combat effectiveness, and with more new ships in service, the strength of the two fleets will further increase, if those old-style soldiers with two hearts are still there, it will not necessarily cause much loss to the empire in the future.
After the end of martial law, the China Daily published a special issue detailing the causes, processes, and results of the purge.
When the people of the empire saw in the newspapers that there was a conspiracy in the Pacific Fleet with the intention of assassinating the emperor and the ministers of the army, navy and air force, people understood what was going on.
The wrath of the Son of Heaven ambushed millions of corpses, bleeding and drifting.
The emperor himself was assassinated, can he not be angry?
The people of the empire understood the emperor's feelings, and at the same time became angry at those who wanted to assassinate the emperor, and now their seemingly fantastic life was given by the emperor. The countryman wants to kill the emperor and let them return to the life of suffering before, who would want to return to that life? No one wants to rebel against all of them. The kingdom is full of anger, if a rebel is a traitor. If the countryman appears in the midst of these angry crowds, he may be torn alive by these people.
Seeing the rows of data listed in the newspapers, people were also surprised, they didn't expect that there were so many rebels in the empire. The countryman, maybe there will be rebellion around him. The country exists, and it is possible for him to rebel. The countryman has spoken.
A chill quickly spread throughout the body, if it was and rebel. If you have more contact with the countrymen, you may become the target of arrest.
Then the newspapers also announced that the people had reported the rebellion to the Empire. The reward for criminals such as the state is from 10 yuan to 10,000 yuan, which is a lot of money, attracting the attention of many people, but most people are not very interested in this.
It's not about yourself, that's what ordinary people think.
