Chapter 459: Ruthless Suppression
Undeterred by the onslaught of the mob, the Army soldiers blocking the intersection lined up in a neat line to aim their flintlock guns at them and pull the trigger.
Blue smoke rose up, and the sound of earth-shattering gunfire pierced the night sky.
The charging mob fell on the way to the charge, and their bodies were bloodied by lead bullets.
Situations like this are happening at the intersection between the North End and the outside world.
Today, the northern part of the workers' settlement has been completely surrounded by the 1st Army Regiment and is under the attack of the 2nd Army Regiment.
The laborers, armed with their own kitchen knives or iron bars and wooden weapons, were no threat to the army soldiers.
If you are far away, you will use a flintlock pistol, and if you are close, you will have a bottle grenade.
The charge of these mobs is of no use at all.
The cause of this riot was only because of a small thing.
The law enforcement team entered the area to arrest the church's people, but they were fanned by the church people and the believers beat them.
But the pastors and priests of the church did not stop after they fanned the believers to surround the law enforcement team.
Instead, it further fanned the believers and caused such a big riot.
If it weren't for the law enforcement team, perhaps there wouldn't have been such a riot today.
But one thing is for sure, if the law enforcement team had not shown up and allowed these pastors and priests to continue to spread their so-called gospel of the Lord and expand the number of believers, then if there were any problems in the future, the scale and harm of the riots would have been much greater than this one.
Therefore, in the face of this turmoil, Zhao Hongyu did not think about the worst, but thought that this was still a good thing.
Because the number of believers under the command of those people in the church is not very large, the scale of this riot is not very large.
Moreover, the areas where the riots took place were not in the urban areas, but in the settlements built by the workers themselves.
So there's turmoil over there. Houses were destroyed, and the empire had nothing to lose.
It was the European laborers who made it up, and the homes they built at their own expense were destroyed, and they themselves were the ones who suffered.
Now they are in a frenzy, so there is no way to convince them.
When they calm down and find themselves homeless, let's see what the pastors and priests have to say.
It's better to break out sooner than later.
At least now the church is not very powerful.
If you really have to wait until the church is very powerful and something like this breaks out, then it will be a real big problem.
Therefore, Zhao Hongyu thought very openly.
Because of the turmoil that night, people here in Manhattan were panicked.
Everyone didn't know what was going on.
I just heard that there was a riot in the northern district where the workers lived.
Oh, my God!
Why are those damn people rioting?
Working here pays well. Prices are still low, living in a beautiful environment, and it is simply paradise compared to the European continent.
At the same time, the taxes here are very low, and there are no excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes in Europe.
As long as you work hard, then you can live happily as a family here.
Are these people brain-dead?
There was going to be a riot.
In their homeland in Europe, in the face of the oppression of nobles and lords, these people will not riot.
But after coming here and getting a happy life, they would actually do such a thing as rioting. It can only be said that these people are full of food and can hold on.
Many European workers think so in their hearts.
Most of the people who think this way are people from Virginia or Quebec.
They have been in contact with the Empire for the longest time, and they have also spent the longest time in the Americas.
So they know very well that they are under the oppression of their own country. How hard it is to live on your own.
It is precisely because of this that they will cherish the life they have now.
Unlike those who came from Europe on merchant ships to pan for gold, they had only experienced the oppression of the continent and not the oppression of the officials of the American colonies.
After adding that they came here. I didn't see how powerful the people here in the empire were, but they treated people very kindly.
Therefore, they did not take the empire into account.
At the same time, salaries here are high. Let them eat and drink to their heart's content all day long.
In this way, these guys who have eaten enough and have nothing to do will feel that their spirit is empty.
And then there were pastors and priests with bad intentions, and this was the case.
Slut!
Yes, you can only use an adjective like slut to describe these guys.
They don't cherish a good life, and they have to do such a thing.
Wang Shan, who was on the front line of the suppression, gave a clear order that all thugs who encountered riots would be killed on the spot.
Even if the other side surrenders, it won't work!
If a team has already caught the surrender, they will be temporarily imprisoned until they are publicly executed the next day.
These people will definitely pay for what they have done.
This is not Europe!
Not a place for them to do whatever they want.
Now it is necessary to teach these Europeans a lesson.
There were about 3,000 rioters who participated in the riot, but the number of people who followed them and wanted to make a fortune was about 15,000.
But under the suppression of the army, these people did not even have the ability to resist.
They can't even run.
Because the entire northern district is surrounded, the junction to the outside world is also stationed.
Unless they can fly.
But they are clear and do not fly.
The God that these people believe in does not turn them into birdmen and give them hope.
In order to combat the fanaticism and faith of these people, Wang Shan specially instructed the army soldiers to shout slogans as they marched to curse the 'God' that these Europeans used as an excuse for rioting.
How shocking is the scene of shooting and killing while cursing 'Lord'?
Just look at the expressions of the Europeans who were already stunned and didn't even know how to escape.
"O your Lord! What God you believe in! We are cursing him now, and we are going to slaughter their believers, and where is he now? ”
Burst!
The bayonet stabbed a stunned believer in the chest, and the Gene Man soldiers continued to look for their next target.
The European who felt the rapid loss of strength in his body. Before losing consciousness, think: yes, what about the Lord? I, a devout believer, am fighting for his honor, but the enemy is cursing him and slaughtering us, and the Lord will not punish him for nothing.......
In the end, he didn't get the answer he wanted to know, and he fell into eternal darkness.
There are many people like him who were confused before he died.
However, the empire will not give them a chance.
There are also many people who want to hide from the killing of Imperial soldiers by playing dead.
Unfortunately, even if they saw a dead body, the Imperial soldiers would stab them twice with bayonets.
So, those who lie on the ground and try to play dead. In the end, he still did not escape death.
Those Europeans who came to the Americas on merchant ships to pan for gold only realized at this time that the Song Empire was not as weak as they thought.
These people usually seem very kind, but when they show their fangs, they are as terrible as the devil from hell.
It's a pity that now they understand that it's too late.
For these people, the empire did not give them a second chance.
Spare me!
I beg you, I have a six-year-old child and a frail wife...... Burst!
He was answered by an expressionless soldier and a cold bayonet stabbed into his chest.
This guy begging for mercy, just half an hour ago. Together with their companions, they broke into the home of an honest European worker who had not participated in the riots, wounded the man and robbed him of his money.
He also raped his beautiful wife and daughter, who was only thirteen years old.
In doing these ugly things. They also kept praising their God.
Because God gave them such an opportunity to vent their bestiality.
At that time, he didn't think of his wife and children, and he didn't think that he actually remembered when he begged for mercy.
However, he met a Gene Man Warrior. I wouldn't have listened to him talk about such rambling stuff at all.
There are many others who are surrounded with it.
They were now all stabbed to the ground one by one with bayonets by the Gene Man warriors, and then mended their knives back and forth.
The dull sound of a sharp weapon piercing into the flesh kept ringing here.
There were no immediate deaths, and they let out a terrible wail of pain.
But. The expression on the face of the genetic man was very indifferent, and he was not moved at all.
At this time, these people realized what kind of stupid thing they had done.
Unfortunately, it was already late.
The rioters dispersed under the powerful killing crackdown, and all of them took refuge in nearby homes and began to pretend to be people.
After the crackdown, there was no longer a single figure on the streets, and the rioters dispersed.
However, the army's encirclement was not removed, and they still tightly surrounded the northern district.
When the 2nd Army Regiment was left with no one on the streets, it began to go from house to house to bring those people into the streets for questioning.
Where do you live?
308 North District, sir.
You live at number 308, but this is number 159, what are you here for?
Sir, this is my friend's house and I'm here to visit the door.
You're here to visit, so are they all here too?
The genetics officer looked at these gray-faced and pale Europeans with a sneer.
So where is the owner here?
You're all mobs!
The genetic officer came to a conclusion, and then with a wave of his hand, the genetic soldiers behind him rushed up.
My lord! No, we're really here to visit!
Click!
Yes!
Burst!
Spare your life!
Before they died, these people were still clinging to their lies.
It's a pity that their lie is full of loopholes, and it is impossible for people to believe it.
Just down the street, these people were slaughtered.
In the surrounding houses, many thugs who were hiding in looked at the situation here from the cracks, and their hearts were cold...... (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
