Chapter 239: The Indigenous (Part II)

Because of their proximity to the imperial capital, the people of the Ming Dynasty in Beizhili have always been well-informed. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoAfter the Ming Dynasty made up its mind to open the sea in order to raise the military expenses of the Northern Expedition to Mengyuan, the people here were the first to get the news.

At that time, there were many adventurous people who chose to go to sea bravely, and the first batch of people who became rich because of going to sea also created the first batch of people. Among them is the Xingtai Han family.

The ancestors of the Han family were just small people in Shengdou back then, and they took huge risks to go to sea to fight for their lives, and finally gained huge wealth. After several generations of hard work, the Han family has become a well-known local family in Xingtai. After hundreds of years of cumulative development, the generation of the Han family has become a very famous family in the Beizhili area.

It is different from those large family consortia that can influence the fate of the Ming Dynasty. The Han family, who has always been rooted in Beizhili, has always been very low-key and has never thought of going further. This also allowed the Han family to successfully avoid the turmoil in the imperial capital this time.

The patriarch of the Han family's current generation has two sons-in-law. The eldest son, Han Dongwen, is the eldest son and the heir of the family, and after graduating from college, he returned home to help take care of the family business. And the second son Han Dongwu had no inheritance rights, at least when his brother was still there, so he had to go to his own business. Fortunately, with the support of the family, it is not difficult to live well.

Han Dongwu chose to apply for the military academy, and after graduating from the Army University, he was promoted through regular service all the way, and by the beginning of the war, he was already a major general and division commander of the 227th Infantry Division stationed in the Mumbai area of India.

When he was stationed in India, he was known in the military for his toughness and his hard-nosed actions against the locals. The local Indians launched various activities against the Ming Dynasty many times, but they were all suppressed by Han Dongwu with harsh means. In India, it is known for its ability to stop children's night crying. It is not an exaggeration to say that his hands were stained with Indian blood.

When Zhang Cheng ordered a counterattack against the Japanese, Han Dongwu and the 227th Infantry Division under his command were also transferred from India to the Lion City to participate in the counterattack against the Japanese.

When Han Dongwu led his troops to the area occupied by the Japanese army in the south of Borneo, the tragic situation in front of him completely shook his heart.

In just a few months, the Japanese and local natives slaughtered almost all the Ming people in southern Borneo who had not been evacuated. Hundreds of thousands of local Ming people died. Property was looted, and men, the elderly, and children were tortured to death. Women are abused as playthings. All kinds of tragic situations made Han Dongwu and the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty sad and angry, and the anger that was full of anger could almost ignite the entire Pacific Ocean!

Bury the dead, tidy up the home, and rescue the women. After the aftermath was done with tears in his eyes, the next thing was revenge.

The Japanese said that most of them had already been killed in the battle, and the few who were captured would not end well. As for the others, no one should try to run away when they kill Japan in the future. Then it was the turn of the local natives who aided the abuse.

In the hundreds of years of overseas colonization, the Ming Dynasty has already cleaned up most of the natives. However, at that time, the Confucian clique of the Ming Dynasty still had a strong influence. Even if they also profit handsomely from the opening of the sea, they still want to clothe themselves with the cloak of civilization.

Under the impetus of the Confucian group, a group of indigenous people survived in the name of education. And their descendants are the culprits who cooperated with the Japanese to torture and kill the people of the Ming Dynasty in the war!

"Sir, should we wait for a telegram from the High Command?" On the outskirts of Sanda Marin, which had been completely destroyed, the chief of staff of the 227th Infantry Division looked at the natives not far away who were desperately wielding tools to dig big pits under the threat of Ming army's bayonets, and spoke out to persuade them.

Han Dongwu asked these natives to dig these big pits and what to do, the chief of staff knew very well in his heart. He was not opposed to doing so, but acting on his own without an order from the High Command would most likely be considered disobeying military orders. There was no problem in dealing with Japanese prisoners of war, and the Supreme High Command had long said that it did not matter whether there were prisoners of war or not. However, if you attack those natives directly, I am afraid that there will be gossip in the court.

"Think of the people you saw die in the past." Han Dongwu's body was straight, one foot in shiny riding boots stepped on a piece of bluestone, and he said in a cold voice with a gloomy face, "They all deserve to die!" ā€

"......" the chief of staff was silent. He also saw the tragic situation of the Ming people in Borneo before, which is simply the extinction of humanity. Even killing them all wouldn't be enough to calm the anger in my heart. It's just that doing these things without a military order in this way will leave a handle and be extremely detrimental to future promotions.

"Sir." After a moment of silence, the chief of staff wanted to advise again: "We have sent the situation back, or it will not be long before the Supreme High Command will issue an official document." It's never too late to do anything when that happens! ā€

"I believe it." Han Dongwu slowly lowered his eyelids and said indifferently, "The deputy commander will definitely agree with everything I have done." I can't wait, any more second of these brutes living is an insult to the Ming army and the entire Ming Empire! Speaking of this, Han Dongwu gritted his teeth word by word, "I want them to die!" ā€

The chief of staff shook his head helplessly and said no more.

Not far away, on the ruins of a rubber plantation, a large group of shivering natives desperately waved their tools to dig a large pit.

At this time, these natives have long since lost the ugly posture of showing off their might in front of those Ming people a few days ago. Looking at the Ming soldiers around them with unkind faces and steel guns in their hands, these natives were about to be scared.

The Japanese army, which was considered to be the great savior, was wiped out in an instant under the attack of the Ming Dynasty. The Japanese soldiers who howled and launched the Banzai charge were all beaten into a sieve by all kinds of light and heavy weapons equipped by the Ming Dynasty. Thousands of corpses were scattered all over the wilderness. This cruel scene like Shura's hell made the natives who were servants stupefied in an instant.

They killed the Japanese advisers who prevented them from escaping, abandoned their weapons and all the equipment that would affect their escape, and fled with their lives. However, in the end, some of them were arrested. As for the others, if they had not fled into the vast rainforest, they would have been killed by the pursuing Ming soldiers.

The natives who were arrested were also uncomfortable. It's okay to dig holes, they're no strangers. In the past, when the Japanese were in power, they also urged the local Ming people to do this kind of thing. What will happen next makes these natives shudder.

It's just that looking at the unkind faces of the Ming officers and soldiers around them, as well as the weapons in their hands. Looking at the surrounding companions who were hanging from the branches of the trees, no one really had the courage to run again.

Borneo, near the equator, has a very hot sun at the end of May. At this time, it was close to noon, and there was no sleep at night, and during the day they had done a morning of physical work against the sun, and from time to time some of the natives who had not even drunk saliva fell to the ground because of heat stroke and overwork.

There will be no medic to help carry you to a shady place to rest. Carrying it away is definitely going to be carried away. There is a group of natives who don't need to dig pits to work all the time waiting on the side, once someone is lazy and can't do anything, or faints from heat stroke or something, as long as the Ming officers and soldiers next to them signal, these two dogs who want to report their thighs will immediately rush up and drag people away, and hang themselves directly on the trees on the side after hanging a rope around their necks.

In the face of this death threat, no one who wants to live will be indifferent. These natives had to work and work again and again until they could no longer do it.

Finally, after the day gradually turned westward, the Ming officers and soldiers who were overseering the work ordered the natives to stop after eating and drinking. After receiving the order, the natives who were working all collapsed on the ground, and one by one they had no air in and out.

The officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were not in a hurry, they just waited there and didn't know what they were waiting for. After about an hour, the noise gradually sounded on the road in the distance, and the crying of children could be faintly heard. As the sound became louder and louder, the natives who were lying on the ground and pretending to be dead all got up, and their faces were extremely shocked!

Soon, at the corner of the road, a large group of old and weak women and children among the local natives who were crying and crying under the bayonet escort of the Ming soldiers rushed over. These are the families and clansmen of the natives who work to dig the pits.

The meeting of relatives is naturally a scene, but this kind of scene makes all the natives tremble. These small, lazy, delicious, narrow-minded, bullying the weak and fearing the hard, and dark-skinned like demons looked desperately at the Ming officers and soldiers who began to surround and pick up the guns in their hands.

This scene is so familiar, a few months ago they and the Japanese also threatened the people of the Ming Dynasty to die. At that time, the natives who were in high spirits, as if they had been reborn, did not expect that retribution would come so quickly!

The sound of wailing and pleading was endless. These natives, who were proficient in the official dialect of the Ming Dynasty and even the local dialects, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to beg for mercy, begging for their lives.

"It's late." Han Dongwu, whose face was sinking like water, snorted coldly, looked sideways at the chief of staff on the side and nodded.

Before lunch, the telegram from the imperial capital had already been delivered to Han Dongwu. This is a handwritten telegram sent by Deputy Commander Zhang Cheng to Han Dongwu. Zhang Cheng ordered Han Dongwu in the telegram to use the most ruthless means to avenge the tragic deaths of the Ming people!

Han Dongwu, who got the authorization, no longer had the slightest worry in his heart. Immediately ordered all the natives to be killed!

The corpses were thrown into the pit and buried by the natives who wanted to take refuge in the Ming Dynasty. By the time the frightened vomiting natives had finished their work, MG42 was waiting for them with a merciless strafing of MG42.

Daming doesn't need these scum, and neither does the world.

"Send a report to the High Command." Han Dongwu lit a cigarette and stood on the ground, which was still very fresh, and said indifferently: "I myself apply to join the Japanese landing combat force!" (To be continued.) )
