"Callisto, Lieutenant General of the Spanish Army! After the Jose coalition captured Eastern Manlot, Lieutenant General Callisto connived at the army to kill people and set fires. Adulterous women, robbery of private property. In the entire Dongwanlu, a total of more than 50,000 Chinese people died! Lieutenant General Callisto, do you plead guilty? Judge Zhao Tianyou looked at Lieutenant General Callisto and asked word by word.
The Chinese people in the square, a piece of Chinese. They had also heard of the Jose coalition's massacre in Eastern Wanlu. Xinhua has never concealed this news, but they do not know how many Chinese people died in Dongwanlu, it is just hearsay. Now, Judge Zhao Tianyou's words are undoubtedly equivalent to the official figures given by Xinhuaguo!
"Oh my God! More than 50,000 people died! Those foreign devils who killed a thousand knives are really evil! ”
"Kill that foreign devil! Avenge your dead compatriots! "The Chinese are excited!
When the interpreter translated Zhao Tianyou's words into Spanish, Lieutenant General Callisto's face turned pale. Dutch Indonesian Governor Jacques. Dominica's tragic scene was right in front of him, and he was very frightened. As a soldier, Lieutenant General Callisto was originally not afraid of death. But now, he was terrified from the bottom of his heart!
"Nope! I didn't do it, I didn't give orders like that! It was the spontaneous behavior of the soldiers. I didn't dictate it! Lieutenant General Callisto shouted, unwilling to admit that he had given the order to massacre the Chinese. He knew the Word, if he confessed his sins. Then he's dead! Jacques. The death of the Governor of Dominica is a lesson from the past!
However, no matter how much Lieutenant General Callisto refutes, it is useless. Once again, the Xinhuaguo Special Court called several witnesses, all of whom unanimously accused Lieutenant General Callisto. One of the witnesses was a Spanish soldier. He claimed to be the herald of Lieutenant General Callisto, and it was he who conveyed Lieutenant General Callisto's orders to the troops.
"Nope! It's fake. These witnesses are fake! Lieutenant General Callisto roared wildly, he tried to struggle, but he was held down. Even though he was a tall soldier, he couldn't break free at all under the suppression of several wolf-like soldiers of the Xinhua Army.
Afterwards, Judge Zhao Tianyou ignored Lieutenant General Callisto's protests. The verdict was announced. Lieutenant General Callisto slaughtered the city and committed a crime against humanity, and sentenced Lieutenant General Callisto to be hanged and executed immediately!
Afterwards, several soldiers of the Xinhua Army dragged Lieutenant General Callisto under the gallows. Despite Lieutenant General Callisto's constant resistance, it was of no avail. Soon he was hung on the gallows to accompany Jacques. The Governor of Dominica went.
Seeing Lieutenant General Callisto hanged, the onlookers applauded. Especially the descendants of Gu Yun and other Lanfang countries. Even more tears. They joined the Xinhua Army in order to avenge the death of their compatriots. Right now. Lieutenant General Callisto hanged him, and the captured soldiers of Jose's coalition army would definitely not be able to escape! They finally got their wish and avenged their dead compatriots!
After Lieutenant General Callisto, it was Lieutenant General De Boer's turn. Compared with Lieutenant General Callisto, Lieutenant General de Boer showed more of the dignity of a soldier who looked at death as if he were at home. Now that it has been understood, the special court of Xinhuaguo this time is simply a cover, and no matter how they resist, they will inevitably die in the end. As a result, Lieutenant General de Boer behaved very calmly. In the face of Xinhuaguo's various accusations, he did not make any rebuttals and pleaded guilty. Lieutenant General de Boer's reaction surprised Xinhuaguo a little. Even those onlookers had to admire that this foreign devil was indeed a real man. However, in the end, Lieutenant General de Boer was sentenced to be hanged and hung on the gallows!
It was the turn of the Spanish Governor of Luzon, Anthony. Pedro has, compared to the previous three, Anthony. Governor Pedro was undoubtedly much less culpable. However, after seeing that the first three people were also hanged, Anthony. Governor Pedro also thought he was going to die. However, to his surprise, in the end, the Xinhuaguo Special Court did not sentence him to death, but sentenced him to life imprisonment! This makes Anthony. Governor Pedro was a little surprised, but also rejoicing. Although he was imprisoned for life, he finally picked up a life, which is much better than three people hanging on the gallows!
In the verdict Anthony. This concludes today's trial. Long Yufei was quite satisfied with today's trial, and after encouraging several judges of the special court, he returned to the palace. The onlookers also dispersed, this time they were a feast for their eyes, and after they returned, they talked about the verdict with great interest. Xinhua Guo dared to sentence the foreigner's high-ranking officials to hang without any scruples, which shocked Davao, and at the same time, his waist board involuntarily stood up!
Over the next two days, the Xinhua Special Court tried the generals of the Jose coalition army. However, compared to the first day of the trial, it has received less attention. Long Yufei, the king of Xinhua, did not come back to the scene, and there were not many onlookers. Because a lot of people have to work, where do you get so much time to see the excitement? These generals of the Jose coalition army were more or less involved in the massacre of Dongwanlu, so they were all sentenced to hanging!
Later, the military tribunals of Xinhua began to try the Spaniards and the Dutch in West Borneo, Java, and Sumatra, and all those soldiers of the Allied Dutch army who participated in the massacre of the Chinese were sentenced to death. This time, there was no more time wasted setting up the gallows, all of whom were executed. On the island of Java, those Dutch military and police who did not act in the Indonesian riots did not end well, and those who were serious were shot, and those who were less serious were also sent to the mines of the Xinhua Army to work as coolies until they died of exhaustion!
The trial of Xinhuaguo lasted a total of three months before it ended, and more than 20,000 of the captured soldiers of the Jose coalition army were sentenced to death! Only about 8,000 people were able to escape. And, most of them, were sent to see the mines. There are only a handful of people who have not sinned.
This practice of Xinhuaguo is undoubtedly a large-scale killing of prisoners, but it is nothing more than a disguise of fair trial. The British Governor of the Straits Settlements, Bonham, expressed a strong protest against the large-scale killing of prisoners of war in the Netherlands by Xinhua and the United States. However, Xinhuaguo completely ignored his protests! When Bonham reported the killing of the prisoners of Xinhua to the British government, it was not long before the whole of Europe knew about it! The countries were shaken and condemned the new country, especially the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Kingdom of Spain, and the people were excited, demanding that the government organize another crusade to destroy the new country and avenge the dead compatriots. It's just that the rulers of the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Kingdom of Spain all know that the current Xinhua Kingdom is not something that the two countries can deal with at all, and they can only perfunctory those angry people.
The image of Xinhua in Europe has also been completely blackened, and it has become a country of barbarians, or a country called the devil, and so on!
Regarding Europe's attitude towards Xinhuaguo, Long Yufei didn't care at all. Europe is too far away from the South Seas, and even if Europe is the center of the world, before the opening of the Suez Canal, the total voyage from Europe to the South Seas would have to go around the Cape of Good Hope, with a total distance of more than 20,000 kilometers. Even the most powerful country, the British Empire, would have a hard time winning if it wanted to send a large army to conquer the new Chinese country. The long distance has become an important guarantee for Xinhuaguo! And, in order to protect British interests in the Straits Settlements and even in India, Britain could not yet provoke the new Chinese state. Otherwise, once the two countries go to war, these places will be attacked by Xinhua first!
The defeat of the Spanish Expeditionary Force and the Dutch Indonesian colonial authorities completely consolidated the position of Xinhua and made European countries begin to face up to this small South Seas country.
After swallowing Borneo, Sumatra and Java, the territory of the new Chinese kingdom expanded several times! At the same time, Xinhua's government structure and military structure are also somewhat difficult to adapt to the present.
At the end of September 1838, Long Yufei of Xinhua convened a three-day meeting of military and political leaders to discuss the military and political system of Xinhua State. Drawing on some cases of later generations, coupled with everyone's suggestions, the military and political reform of Xinhuaguo has kicked off!
First of all, in terms of the government system, it is composed of the central government and local governments. The central government is mainly the Government Affairs Yuan, but Long Yufei thought that the name of the Government Affairs Yuan was not good, so he changed it to the Cabinet. The head of the cabinet is the prime minister, and the former premier Li Decheng is the prime minister. The Cabinet has various ministries, including the Ministry of Finance, the Minister of Finance, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Minister of Lim Zihao, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Minister of Zhou Yuan, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Minister of Wu Yongxing, the Ministry of Communications, the Minister of Zhou Zishan, the Ministry of Industry, the Minister of Wu Wending, the Ministry of the Interior, the Minister of Wu Da Niu, and the Ministry of Health, the Minister of the Mayor of Former Sandakan City, Li Ruiping. In addition, there is the Supreme Court and the Public Prosecutor's Office, which stand independently of the government. The court is responsible for the construction of the nation's judicial system, as well as the trial of cases, and is directly accountable to King Long Yufei, and the supreme justice is Lu Zhenghao. The procuratorate is a newly established department, the main role is to supervise governments at all levels, to prevent them from corruption, the supreme procurator is named Luo Yuanming, is an uncle of Luo Sangu, and can be regarded as his own family, Long Yufei appointed him as the supreme procurator general, entirely because this person usually acts upright, plus he is loyal to Long Yufei and Luo Sangu, which is very suitable for this position. Of course, the procuratorate is also jokingly called Jinyiwei, who specializes in supervising various places for King Long Yufei! (To be continued......)
