At this moment, the small square is already crowded with people. Chinese love to see the killing of heads, which has long been proven by Mr. Lu Xun. Although it was now replaced by a hanging that they were not familiar with, it did not affect the "interest" of the local idlers in the slightest.
Especially when they saw that the person who was escorted to the court turned out to be a red-haired foreigner, those idlers became more and more excited. After more than half a year of contact, the local people have become accustomed to the strange behavior of these short-haired people, and they will not be surprised no matter what they do - everyone knows that this group of people is unscrupulous, and even the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty dare to kill them, and of course it is not a problem to kill a few red hairs.
In the center of the square, Zhang Lushan's son, Zhang Xiaoshan, held a piece of yellow paper-mounted paper full of words, and stammered a little loudly in the local Hainan dialect to announce the Dutchman's guilt and the verdict handed down to the people in the square. Originally, he was going to invite Master Li Changqian to do this work, but the old slippery head saw that his son had recently recognized a lot of words, so he could say that he had won this opportunity to show his face for his son.
Here, Hu Kai and Li Wei, two strong young men, dragged the Dutchman, who was crying and pleading, to the gallows, and put a rope trap around his neck...... At this time, Chen Tao walked up with a cross in his hand.
"Do you have any last words to say?"
Chen Tao motioned for Wang Tongshi next to him to translate this sentence, and began to recite the Lord's Prayer in Latin, which he memorized when he was a child under the supervision of his grandparents, and it was also the only Latin he could speak. ^^ Aishang Novel Network ^^ Most people here actually don't approve of him engaging in this kind of superstitious activity, but it won't take a few minutes anyway, so they will go with him.
But the Dutchman seemed to have grasped the straw of his life. Kneeling on his knees and muttering a lot, the king was full of anger after listening to him, and spit on the other party's face fiercely.
"My lord, this guy is still talking nonsense! He said that he was just an ordinary sailor, not a soldier, and had never fought against the Ming Dynasty. That time the prisoners were transported. All actions were carried out according to the captain's orders, and he himself never wanted to harm any of the Ming people. ”
"Hmph, that's what everyone on the gallows says."
Pang Yu walked up from behind at some point, followed by the accuser Lin Sihai, who was staring at the Dutchman with hatred at this time, looking like he wanted to rush up and take a bite. Aishang Novel Network .com**
"We can understand that you must have felt very aggrieved at this time - you must have felt that you had not committed a crime at all. Push the sick or seemingly sick Chinese into the sea. For you, it's probably nothing more than disposing of a damaged piece of goods. ”
Looking at the Dutch sailor, Pang Yu slowly spoke word by word, and he spoke very slowly. Every time he said a word, he had to pause for a long time to let Lin Sihai translate his words into Dutch, not only to the death row prisoner opposite, but also to the foreign sailors around him.
“…… You so-called civilized people from Europe probably never thought about Asia, Africa. And then there is North and South America, where the indigenous people are just as human as you, though they have different skin colors. But there was also red blood in his body. Like you, you also have the right to live in the land left by your ancestors, free from slavery. ”
These words spread around, causing everyone present, whether Chinese or foreigner, to change their faces.
"And most importantly......"
Pang Yu suddenly grabbed the Dutchman's hair and forced him to stare in the eyes:
"We can hurt you too! You dare to come and rob your property. **Aishang Novel Network**.com** to plunder the population. We're going to hang you all. Counting on the conquest of a country with one or two cannons on the coast, such a thing does not happen here! This is not Congo. Not Zimbabwe, not even more Maya and Aztec! ”
Slowly letting go of his hand, Pang Yu finally glanced at the stunned Dutchman:
"Invaders who die in a foreign land, you are not the first and will not be the last. No matter what kind of God you believe in, the flames in hell are always the same. ”
Without mercy, he replaced Chen Tao, who was already stunned, with a vicious curse, "dying prayer" next to him, Pang Yu patted Hu Kai, who was already impatient, on the shoulder:
"Alright, hang him up."
The grievance meeting ended with the corpse dangling from the gallows. The effect of the congress was evident almost immediately—the local laborers and the Ming prisoners of war were indignant, and if it had not been for the foresight of the guards in sealing off the camp for foreign prisoners, it would have been a mess as soon as it was disbanded. **Aishang Novel Network .com**
The foreign sailors, who were originally bullish, obviously clamped their tails and did not dare to respond to provocations from the Chinese. They are already secretly glad to have escaped this catastrophe, who has the courage to be a tough guy in front of an angry crowd?
As for the people in the county, they saw a big show for free, which was enough for them to talk about for months. Some of these cultural people, such as Cheng County Ling and Master Li, inevitably have some research on Pang Yu's declaration - they can already understand part of this declaration, and read it in combination with the previous words such as "the Ming Dynasty has only been in the world for seventeen years...... The origin of these short hairs seems more suspicious?
Zhao Lide, Guo Yi and other comrades of the human resources team were warmly praised by all the people. Everyone unanimously agreed that the breakthrough they had chosen was very ingenious, not only in terms of the fundamental sense of superiority of the white Europeans, but also in greatly uniting all the local forces in the interior, including the Ming prisoners of war, and very successfully weakening the contradictions within the nation and diverting people's attention to foreign enemies. ^^Aishang Novel Network^^――
The content of the grievance meeting soon spread among the local people through the big mouths of the guò wage laborers. Now, in and around Lingao, thousands of ordinary people have automatically become guards for the white captives, and there is no need to worry about those trying to escape - if they dare to leave the camp alone, they will probably be beaten to death by the angry crowd.
The people of the Ming Dynasty have never been afraid of foreigners, whether they are ordinary people or civil and military officials, which is very different from the later Qing Dynasty.
When Hu Wen asked Ade, how did he think of holding such a conference, the latter smiled slightly wryly:
"There is an elder in my family who is an overseas Chinese in Nanyang...... When I talked to those translators before, it was as if I was going back to the things my uncle told me before. ”
"The history of blood and tears of the Nanyang Chinese...... It was from this period that it began. ”
Professor Li Mingyuan's face was complicated. Many historical events have only left a rough record in the history books, but they are unforgettable to those who have witnessed them.
As a historian, this feeling of experiencing history firsthand excites the old professor. But the reason of the same Chinese, he can't help but feel sad for the tragic experience of those overseas Chinese, this complex psychological state is really not easy for ordinary people to understand.
However, others do not intend to understand that in the eyes of most young people here, they are creating zào history, and not just passively experiencing it.
"No, Professor, I don't agree with you." Tang Jian, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, and retorted to Professor Li with a rare rebuttal:
"In our time and space, the Chinese in Nanyang will not have any history of blood and tears. If there is, it should belong to those colonizers. ”
"That's right, Team Tang, I'll top you!"
The dismissal next to him slapped the table and shouted loudly:
"Now that we're here, now that we've established ourselves...... Brothers, we can change a lot of things! ”
"That's right! With us, the territory of Southeast Asia will not be the Europeans in the future! ”
The little guy Ye Mengyan actually jumped out and made a declaration with great momentum, just smiling in the eyes of Ling Ning and the others.
"It seems that everyone's thinking is very simple
Ling Ning stabbed Pang Yu, who had not spoken, who had not said a word since earlier.
"Do you feel that everyone seems to have been affected by that grievance meeting?"
Ling Ning has always been level-headed, not conformist and proud, sometimes he seems a little unsociable, but he has a good relationship with Pang Yu, and the two often chat together in private.
"It's normal, the mass movement is a double-edged sword, and if you want to move others, of course, you must first move yourself."
"I'm just worried that we can start, but not the end. The power of the masses of the people is enormous, but no one has ever dared to say that he can completely control this force, not even our great-grandfather. Once the tide is formed, which direction it will rush in is something that no one can say. ”
Pang Yu smiled slightly:
"Yes, but don't forget, brother, this was in the Ming Dynasty. And it was also a stagnant feudal society at the end of the Ming Dynasty. Whether it is the bureaucracy, the army, or the political economy, it is rotten to the end. With more than 100 of us, it is enough to make the tide surge. Anyway, whatever the consequences, it's never worse than the original history, is it? ”
