The vicious incidents in Chiang Mai are not unique, and at the same time, in 10 provinces in the north of Siam, such incidents are frequent and staged in various places. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The victims were definitely British, the perpetrators were definitely Siamese natives, and no one knew where the promoters who played a key role in the course of the events were from.

Faced with such a large-scale attack, the British reacted very quickly, and immediately removed two Indian divisions from Burma into Siam, protecting the British while trying to restore normal social order.

Two divisions, about 30,000 people, sounds like a lot, but they are still a bit stretched to the ten provinces in northern Siam.

The British also wanted to transfer more troops, but in the context of the overall shrinking force, the British did not have much to mobilize, even with India's huge population base.

To tell the truth, the Indians are still very important in the process of global colonization by the British, although the British national strength is strong, but the population base is still not enough, the Indians just make up for the shortcomings of the British, act as accomplices of the British, and follow the British all over the world.

No wonder India is known as the brightest jewel in the crown of the British king.

Indians who have just entered Siam still maintain the swagger they had when they were stationed in Myanmar, and even if they are dogs, they must be dogs with style.

The situation in Siam was still different from that in Burma, and it was not long before the Indians realized the difference.

Chiang Mai Prefecture, the governor had already voluntarily resigned after the arrival of the British, and now Chiang Mai was controlled by a temporary order committee, and the British would not officially send officials until the British, Lan Fang, and France agreed on the distribution of Siam.

This temporary order committee was naturally composed of a group of pro-British Siamese people, and when the Chinese did not leave, these people were economically suppressed by the Chinese, and basically had no future, and the Chinese moved out of Chiang Mai as a whole, and these people finally found a chance to stand out, so they carried out the orders of the British without any discount.

In this context, a regiment from Burma entered Chiang Mai and lived in the Chiang Mai military camp in a grand manner.

Chiang Mai is the largest province in northern Siam, and it is also the political and economic center of northern Siam, and there are more than 2,000 people in a regiment, plus the troops directly under the division headquarters, there are more than 5,000 Indians in Chiang Mai Prefecture, and for a time the entire Chiang Mai province is full of Indians wrapped in headscarves, and the people who eat melons who do not know the truth at first glance think that they are in Madrid -- no, New Delhi -- it's not right, New Delhi is under construction, it has been built for ten years, and it will take another ten years to complete, and now the capital of India is Delhi.

With so many Indians in Chiang Mai, eating, drinking, and sleeping are all supplied by Chiang Mai people, coupled with the strange hygiene habits of Indians, it is more appropriate for the city of Chiang Mai to be renamed "Stinky Mai".

However, the people of Chiang Mai did not hesitate to complain about the hygiene habits of the Indians, and they had to meet all the requirements of the Indians, and provide the Indian GIs with the best possible logistical services, such as food, clothing, fruit, and women.

Food and clothes are easy to say, Indians are not bare-assed, they will not be able to die for a while, and life is really difficult without women, you must know that in Myanmar, the military camp of Indians is next to the official brothel, the kind of regular physical examination, the "service facilities" can be called perfect, and now in Chiang Mai, those Indians naturally want to taste the taste of "wild flowers".

So there are really a lot of Indians wandering around the whole city of Chiang Mai, these Indians have just received two months' military pay when they set out on the expedition, and it is not rupees without much purchasing power, but pounds with strong purchasing power, which makes Indians extremely popular.

On the day of the arrival in Chiang Mai, during the roll call in the evening, the British officers of the Indian garrison were called by name, and they were shocked to find that some people did not return at night.

The Indians had just arrived in Chiang Mai, and even if they were fresh, they would not be able to return at night, so the military commanders of each battalion and company reported one after another, and finally gathered together, and the total number of people who did not return at night exceeded 100.

This is definitely not an isolated incident.

The Supreme Commander of the Indian Army, Sir Lauren Milne, immediately realized that Chiang Mai was a hostile city to the Indians, so from that night onwards, Chiang Mai began to be under military control, and a large number of soldiers operated overnight to conduct a carpet search of Chiang Mai in an effort to find the missing soldiers.

It didn't take much effort to find the bodies of the missing soldiers in all corners of Chiang Mai, whether they were armed or not, but now they have been stripped naked, even their clothes, shoes and even gold teeth in their mouths, and many of the corpses have been found to be ill-treated before death, which is really unbearable.

After pulling all the corpses back to the barracks, Sir Lauren Milne looked at the entire 120 corpses and said to the chairman of the Provisional Committee, Wangchai Chiang Mai, with a gloomy face: "Find those people, otherwise I will take all 1,200 people out of Chiang Mai and kill them as a burial companion for my soldiers!" ”

Sir Lauren Milne had reason to be angry, and it was unacceptable that on the first day of his arrival in Chiang Mai, he had lost an entire company without any fighting. A more serious danger was that the soldiers left the barracks with their weapons, and they were basically carrying the latest Lee Enfield rifles, which could have been devastating if they fell into the hands of those hostile to the British.

Wangchai Chiang Mai is a standard Siamese nobleman, and only nobles can add the name of the city to their name, but this aristocratic status does not play any role in the face of the British, if the Indians are a dog to the British, those Siamese who defect to the British are another, even if it is a purebred dog with a more noble blood, it is only a dog after all.

For Sir Lauren Milne's anger, Wangchai Chiang Mai did not dare to slack off, so those little hooligans and prison prisoners in Chiang Mai were unlucky, even if they were not guilty to death, they were also given to the British as a tool to calm the anger of the British, and after executing more than 300 "criminals" in one go, Sir Lauren Milne's anger finally subsided temporarily.

After the first day of "dismounting", the Indians learned a profound lesson, and from then on, the Indians no longer dared to sneak out of the barracks with two or three people, unless it was a large army operation, otherwise the Indians hid in the barracks and acted as "protected animals" with peace of mind.

It turns out that the security of the movement of large forces is also not guaranteed.

Three days later, Sir Lauren Milne received the bad news that an Indian army unit had been attacked by unknown persons on the outskirts of Chiang Mai, this time a fully manned company, in the middle of its mission, not completely unprepared, but the result was the same, the company was also completely wiped out.

Just after the attack on the Indian army's company, an even more alarming news came that a Siamese named Ponchana had organized a unit called the "Chiang Mai Free Army" to openly rebel against British rule.
