Chapter 85: Terrorist Suppression

Luo Yang convened a meeting of generals to discuss this issue, and announced that he would severely suppress the sabotage activities of the opposition, and specially transferred personnel from the troops, divided them into several areas, and stationed them in the city of Chengdu and the surrounding county towns to "suppress and eliminate traitors."

In just half a day, the Great Han Heavenly Kingdom launched a suppression operation called "cleaning up", which was carried out at the same time in the Chengdu area.

Anyone who passively resists the patriotic tax is immediately arrested and thrown into prison, and all family members are confiscated, and their land and property are confiscated and confiscated from the government. And, distributed to the surrounding poor peasants.

The armed task force also conducted a public opinion poll, and all those who had committed evil acts of oppressing good people during the Manchu rule were arrested and brought to justice without saying a word, and their family property was confiscated.

This kind of measure is mainly aimed at people above the level of moderate prosperity.

For the poor people, middle peasants and small citizens, some of them were also dealt with together.

This is a vigorous mass movement in society, with the goal of digging up the enemy's sabotage, and at the same time expanding its scope, evolving into a great activity to sweep away the dark and ugly phenomena and establish a new social trend in an all-round way.

Luo Yang only made the main arrangement, elaborated on the target of the strike, and let go of the ministry to do it.

In the face of the unfavorable situation in which the enemy was secretly in the dark, Luo Yang not only launched a large-scale campaign, created a great momentum, and swept away all kinds of ugly habits in society, but also specially turned the newly established reconnaissance units and intelligence organs to the use of detectives against hidden enemies, and combined open mass movements with secret reconnaissance.

It is true that I do not know who the enemy is, but there are many enemies, and moreover, the means are ferocious and ambitious, and we must insist on combining points and areas to suppress and strike in all directions.

Considering the complexity of the situation, Luo Yang emphasized one article, "In any case, at any time, all arrested criminals must not be killed or executed without authorization, and must be strictly detained for interrogation, and generally no torture measures shall be taken, and evidence should be valued, and a good person should not be wronged, and if it cannot be confirmed, it will be temporarily detained without punishment." ”

Because it is the position of the people at the bottom, what Luo Yang hates the most is the ** phenomenon of the national judicial organs, and he is always reminded and worried about the judicial fairness of the Han Heavenly Kingdom under his governance.

"Kill! Kill! King Rui, you are so merciful, we need to kill! Kill all these kings! ”

"Yes, King Rui, we can't grind like this, these little cubs are too rampant and hateful. How can you do it without repairing it hard? ”

Although the senior generals marched victoriously and arrested a large number of suspects, they only had the right to interrogate, not the right to try and dispose of them.

Luo Yang reprimanded these strange guys and warned them not to come nonsense.

"Generals, we are the Great Han Heavenly Kingdom, not an ordinary army of thieves, not a reckless green forest hero who will leave after taking a handful! If we want to build a country, we must have a mature mentality! Wronging one person will weaken the power of our movement by ten points! ”

"These guys are in our hands, and sooner or later they will figure it out!"

The movement was divided into several parts, reconnaissance, arrest, centralized detention, interrogation, mobilizing the people to expose the struggle, and even demanding that the people in the Chengdu area complain about any grievances.

The Great Han Heavenly Kingdom invested enormous manpower in conducting interrogations, investigations, verifications, and then, gradually forming conclusions.

The first thing to end was the issue of passive resistance to the patriotic tax, and the list of passive resistance was announced, and it was announced that it would crack down hard and confiscate all its property. This range is quite large, there are more than 500 in Chengdu, and there are thousands in the surrounding counties outside the city.

This approach is not excessive, thinking that Luo Yang has given them enough time to think and enough patience to persuade. Since they are unwise and defy the law, they can only strengthen the law and discipline.

The Han regime announced that more than 5,300 such people in detention were sentenced to five years in prison because they endangered social security and were forced to serve in labor camps and engage in necessary and tedious labor.

On the basis of long-term reconnaissance and interrogation, more than 300 sabotage hostile elements were excavated, and they were still not massacred, but sentenced to 20 to 50 years in prison, and special prisons and labor camps were established.

More than 30 extremely dangerous elements who personally participated in the assassination were loaded into prison vans and dragged to the streets of Chengdu to parade to the public, and a trial meeting was held to deal with them in public before the handful of people were executed.

This is the only group of executions because they are not political prisoners, but serious criminal offenses.

Since it was to be suppressed, it was necessary to take terrorist measures, and Luo Yang, under the pressure of the mass meeting, promised to brutally execute all these murderous criminals.

"An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth!"

"We will use the Red Terror to eliminate the Black Terror of the Manchu Tatars and the remnants of their rule!"

"If the enemy is willing to surrender, we will give them a chance, and if they resist to the end, we will resolutely destroy them!"

The methods of execution were all in the most brutal form of Lingchi. More than 30 criminals, each with 3,000 cuts, were held in different streets of Chengdu to attract Chengdu citizens and surrounding farmers to come and watch.

Of course, in the process, the criminal accomplices of more than 300 people, and the miscellaneous gray of more than 5,000 people, also had the opportunity to enjoy and observe them up close.

This is a cruel act, of course, but it is very rare and effective.

The high-pitched screams of the executed criminals and the killers spread in the sky above the city of Chengdu, with bright bloodstains, shattered pieces of flesh, bare flesh and bones, and internal organs, proclaiming the violent majesty it must have to this era.

The torture was carried out for five days, killing seven people and seven locations in one day.

This is only the city of Chengdu, in the nearby county, in the face of the wave of assassinations, once the arrested assassins are implemented, they will also encounter such an honor: Ling Chi.

In fact, despite Luo Yang's cautious approach, in the end, the number of people affected by this movement reached more than 20,000, and the number of people executed reached more than 200. At the end of the movement, because the leader of a certain regiment raised troops to make a rebellion, he was exterminated, and more than 300 people were eliminated.

The revolution is not a dinner party, it is a naked and bloody tearing up.

In the midsummer of 1863, in the city of Chengdu, the flames of revolution were spreading and burning, crushing and burning those stubborn fellows who refused to follow the trend.
