Chapter 776: Purpose
After the previous egg was cleared, the life of the flag man was very difficult. Although many people have been reborn for themselves and their families because of joining the army and fighting, even the rest of them have been thrown into Central Asia and Yanzhao in the Great Migration. For example, Ma Jiancheng father and son are. But how can more than ten years of hard life be easily forgotten? The taste of drinking wind and eating sand in the desert Gobi is unimaginable without experiencing it yourself.
And as far as the division of land is concerned, these released flag men are not as good as the genuine immigrants, and the land granted is only half of the latter.
The vast majority of people are still living honestly, and with the passing of the older generation of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, some of the descendants of the Manchu elite who were captured by Liu Xian were also moved to the border. Liu Xian didn't want these widows to take over the light of Beijing's hukou.
But after all, there are a very small number of people who still hate the current Liu family, and the hatred of seizing the country and more than ten years of suffering are always remembered by them. Ma Jiancheng and his son had only been in Xinhe for a year and a half, and the 30 acres of land allocated to their father and son were rented by them to a Slav family for farming, and they took the rent and ran to the city to earn a living. In fact, I have had enough of the hard life of facing the loess with my back to the sky, and after having freedom, it is like enjoying comfort and enjoying happiness.
The father and son initially ran a grocery store, and the income was able to survive in the city, and because of their extensive contacts, they eventually got in touch with the rebel group. It's just that they never show political leanings, and only act as a grey intermediary for 'doing business'. It wasn't until the two kings of Yan and Zhao wanted to meet in Xinhe that Ma Jiancheng officially expressed his hatred. And came forward to buy two pistols!
It has not been three or two days since the establishment of Yan and Zhao, and a large number of guns and sticks have been taken away by them from the people, and they are also allowed to report them. Those who possess guns and branches without permission shall be severely punished. Whistleblowers are heavily rewarded. It took a great deal of effort to remove the arms from civilian circulation to a large extent.
But before the Volga passed many long wars, guns were widespread among the people. It is impossible to completely eliminate civilian munitions in two or three years. Especially among the Chinese immigrants, some moths are moths everywhere they go. Their presence and participation have made it more difficult to ban guns locally. Some have also taken advantage of their status to further accelerate the flow of arms.
For example, the young man who carried Xiao Lou on his back to deliver things to Ma Jiancheng's father and son, and the people behind him.
This time, the double king meeting of Xinhe made Yan Guo and Zhao Guo jump up a lot of people! There are many things that have not even been noticed by the Military Intelligence Agency, the Ministry of Public Security, and the secret guards.
"These bastards! If it is not of my race, its heart will be different. I knew that the court should have cut them all! The news of the Ma family's father and son quickly reached the hands of the Xinhe police chief through the secret guards, and the latter scolded!
However, in the following days, Ma Jiancheng stayed in the grocery store and still did his own business safely, and his business was better. Some recent newcomers. Once or twice, they have become repeat customers. Ma Jiancheng didn't notice anything wrong, but was happy because of it.
The meeting between Yan and Zhao is of great significance, as the two heads of state will discuss in detail each other's investment and shareholding ratio, staffing and labor allocation. The construction of this Kama reservoir marks that Yan and Zhao have passed the most basic period of political stability and further entered the era of large-scale industrial construction. Both governments also have the intention of taking this opportunity to deal a heavy blow to the resistance forces of the two countries, so as to avoid bad accidents during the construction of the reservoir.
As a result, I didn't expect to provoke a lot of 'latent' good gray molecules by the way. These young men and the people behind them, who are only greedy for money and have no regard for the overall interests of the country, are bent on rebelling against the country. The hostile elements who never forget the former Qing Dynasty - Ma Jiancheng and his son need to be swept away!
The meeting between the two kings of Yan and Zhao began in Xinhe as scheduled.
When the two kings waved shoulder to shoulder to greet the surrounding people, and then were about to sit in the carriage, "Bang! ”
"Bang! Bang! ”
Suddenly, crisp gunshots and dull gunfire rang out at the scene. There was a deathly silence in the crowd for a moment. Then the screams of panic and the screams of fright mingled.
King Zhao was shot in the chest, and the blood quickly stained his entire chest. Yan Wang was hit by a bullet in the arm, and blood was dripping from his entire cuff.
Although some have difficulty distinguishing what the gun is. However, the second king was assassinated, and the king of Zhao was seriously injured. King Yan has a color on his arm, but it is an undeniable fact. This is what countless people in the audience and reporters have seen with their own eyes. I was even lucky enough to have a photo!
By the end of the year, the two governments had arrested 400 hostile and rebel elements, more than 500 lawbreakers, and nearly 1,000 people inside and outside. Among them, Han immigrants accounted for more than 100 people, and the rest were all Slavs and Central Asians.
Fifty per cent of them were sentenced to death, leaving them with life sentences and forced labor camps. Of the remaining 500 people, 400 enjoyed the sentence of hard labor, and the length of time varied, the longest was sentenced to 20 years, and the remaining 100 were the least guilty, so that they could be regarded as the ones who could really survive. Because that labor is chronic poisoning, and even if you can live a little longer, you will only die of fatigue day by day. This is something that the whole world knows. China's punishment has also been recognized by Westerners over the years. For example, the labor camp has been promoted as tyranny by I don't know how many Western media!
The assassinations of King Yan and King Zhao shocked the whole world, and China's image of being huge and incomparable seemed to have suddenly become smaller in the eyes of Westerners. It turns out that in the vast new land, the Chinese still have the strength to resist steadfastly.
It is also because of the appearance of King Yan and King Zhao covered in blood this time, so that the purge of Yan and Zhao did not suffer from outsiders at all. Although King Zhao and King Yan were stained red by pig's blood, they still had to hide cats in the palace for a while, but the effort was definitely worth it.
Outsiders only saw that 500 people in Yan and Zhao were sentenced to death and 400 people were put into labor camps, but they did not know how many people had been killed by the forces of the two governments in the process of arresting these people.
The reason why the two kings of Yan and Zhao want to perform such a drama in front of the whole world is purely to smear China. Let China's image of strength and invincibility be weakened a little.
Because of the oil that is erupting in the Panama Canal and the Middle East, China seems to have reaped too much in the past year. Subsequently, the interests of the Middle East will have to be greatly divided, but the image of China as a whole is still too strong.
Even the French have to suffer a loss over the Panama Canal, and the benefits of millions of pounds are too small compared to the price they have paid for the Panama Canal over the past two decades. From the point of view of the interests of France as a whole, in 1889 alone, when the credibility of the French Canal Company was in crisis, the company's stock plummeted, and how many 15 million pounds did the French lose?
But the French are now completely unable to stop China's actions in Panama, and they can only agree with that.
China has promised to make concessions to France on the Middle East, but this secret agreement is not public, and to the outside world, especially the common people in the West, it is France's loss.
The voice of the Yellow Peril theory is once again noisy, and Liu Xian wants to cool down the external image of the whole country.
The attack of the two divided kings was enough to accomplish such a task. Moreover, the Slavs of Yan Zhao have generally obeyed, and even if there is such a major event as the assassination of the king, there will be no real chaos here. The situation here is completely different from that of South China and North America.
There are 40 or 50 million natives in the South Seas, and there are 10 million or 20 million natives in North America, and their will to resist is much stronger than that of the Slavs today. Because they don't have a government like Moscow as a neighbor, and their lives are much worse than before, they have the motivation to rebel, and they owe a flame when it is possible!
Liu Xian would never play with fire and set himself on fire. In the northwest, North America and the South Seas, he decisively chose Yan Zhao.
Things didn't turn out as he expected. As soon as the news of the assassination of the second king of Yan and Zhao spread, the newspapers of the entire Western world went crazy and reported on the incident. Then there are all sorts of bashing and even fabricated rumors that ignore the facts. The absurd texts reveal a message - the Chinese are so harsh that the Slavs on the Volga cannot survive, and they can only take up arms to resist. Even the British "Sun" directly shouted that the people of God throughout Europe launched donations to the Slavs in the Volga region, saying that there is already gunsmoke there at the moment, and the Chinese are massacring the Slavs!
It may take 10, 20 or even more years for a country's good image to be erected, but it may only take three to five days for a country's image to be destroyed, and a small thing can be magnified to make the country spurned by the whole world.
What's more, China already has an 'inextricable relationship' with Western civilization, and under the new hatred and old hatred, Western Europe and Central Europe are slowly flying with negative reports about China, and thousands of rumors that have no connection with China's reality at all.
Liu Xian successfully achieved his goal.
These newspapers are more powerful than tanks, quickly destroying China's image, and quickly cooling down China's 'strong' appearance. In the new year, when Europeans mention China again, some of them only ridicule and despise it, although they still think that China's combat effectiveness is strong, but there is a kind of civilized people who look at the barbarians and are self-controlled!
Fear of China is really decreasing.
At the end of the year, there were already British and French newspapers clamoring to seize the interests of Middle Eastern oil, drive the Chinese out of the Persian Gulf, and drive them out of the Middle East! Governments in Europe must have seen this shift as well, but they have all ignored it, or even guided it further.
To do so, of course, is true for Western civilization as a whole. There is nothing more important than that China is their enemy, and that the fear of the enemy has been eliminated. It's just that the governments of Europeans must not believe it too, otherwise they will cry to death! (To be continued......)
