In response to Ernst's instructions.

Beginning on 3 April 1867, after several meetings at the top of the colonial government in East Africa, a year-long campaign of "purges" was decided.

Just by listening to the literal meaning, we know that the so-called "purge" is aimed at the indigenous people in the colonies, sorting out and eliminating the destabilizing factors in the colonies of East Africa.

And this destabilizing factor is the local indigenous and tribal.

In order to mobilize the manpower of the entire East African colonies to accomplish this operation, the East African colonial government assigned tasks directly to each colony according to the region.

Each stronghold brought its own dry rations to encircle and suppress the natives and tribes around the villages and towns.

……

The town of Kagongo is a town under the jurisdiction of Kigoma in the district of Lake Solon (Lake Tanganyika).

Today, the town of Kagongo posted a bulletin board in the village about the "Purge" campaign issued by the colonial government of East Africa.

The settlers knew the role of bulletin boards, and whenever there was any big move, the colonial government would post corresponding policies and directives there.

All the official documents of the colony were written in German, and as the most educated group of German mercenaries in the East African colonies, their primary school education had an undoubted right to speak in the East African colonies.

Only the cadets of the Hexingen Military Academy and the Hexingen Foundation sent African managers with relatively higher academic qualifications.

But they also considered themselves Germans, mentally classifying themselves and their mercenary teams into the same category.

In short, the German-speaking population in the East African colonies was a unified group, and one that belonged to the ruling class.

Even Chinese immigrants and immigrants from the Austrian Empire, as long as they knew German, were placed in important positions and treated as their own.

The simple economic structure of the East African colonies meant that the composition of government agencies at all levels in the East African colonies did not require much capacity.

However, the colony's simple economic structure and simple and crude collectivized management model resulted in the colony having only a crude legal operation model.

After all, there are almost no other industries in the colony except agriculture, and everyone works according to the company's indicators, working at sunrise and perching at sunset, and there is no superfluous entertainment industry.

Under the simple mode of life, there is no market for economic crimes in the current East African colonies, and the immigrants are honest farmers and mean and stern retired soldiers, and there is no soil for the survival of "anti-intellectualism".

Kagonggo Town Hall, bulletin board.

In the early morning, government workers display freshly baked German documents on wooden bulletin boards.

Unlike in the past, the preacher did not appear to preach the content of the new policy.

A few immigrants gathered under the bulletin board to discuss the above contents.

"Lao Liu, what's written on this?"

"You ask me, who do I ask? I recognize the words 'village', 'gun', and 'drive away'. I guess it's going to be a war, eight or nine is not far from ten. ”

Lao Liu Hui is a few words that benefit from the frequent use of these words in the East African colonies, especially when new immigrants receive a short period of military training.

That is, military training, where the instructor will teach some simple and necessary vocabulary.

At a time when immigrants are still guessing what is written on it.

A soldier dressed as a colonial soldier, he walked under the bulletin board, picked up the trumpet pinned to his waist and blew it.

"Uh......h Woo...... Woo......"

The other townsfolk also began to assemble near the bulletin board along the rallying call of the East African colony, and the crowd of people discussing also increased, and for a time there was a lot of noise under the town's bulletin board.

Soon, the mayor of the town and the civil and military leaders of Kagonggo town arrived, and the soldiers began to set up the venue.

A small wooden platform was improvised and the soldiers invited the mayor and others to the stage to speak.

The mayor of Kagongo, Goh Sin Kusi, walked up to the stage with a big belly and began to interpret the latest directives of the colonial government.

The military commander, Carson Bullock (a cadet of the Heshingen Military Academy), was in charge of the translation with a loudspeaker.

"Townspeople, just yesterday we received instructions from the higher authorities of the colonial government in East Africa."

There was silence in the venue, and everyone listened carefully to the mayor's speech, after all, the content of the bulletin board was usually closely related to themselves.

"In order to strengthen the level of law and order management in the colonies, and to prevent the destruction and threat to the production and life of the colonies caused by the savages (the official name given to the indigenous people by the colonial government of East Africa)."

"Every village and town under the colonial government should be purged by arresting, encircling and destroying the savages and their tribes within its jurisdiction."

The crowd began to turn heads and ears.

"That means it's time to strike at the natives again!"

"Definitely, if we didn't get the land from the beginning, wouldn't it all be robbed."

"What do you mean by robbing! The natives here don't live by farming, it's all wasteland, and we're here to open up the wasteland now, and there's no name written on this land, and it's not who planted it? ”

"That's right, it's useless for those natives to want these lands, they don't hunt for anything, and the land where they should grow food is not for raising lions, leopards and jackals."

There is no burden on the psychology of immigrants, and the discussion of right and wrong is too far away from the peasants who are digging in these fields, and it is more real to fill their stomachs than to be benevolent and moral.

Everyone came from a feudal country and a feudal country in transition to an industrialized country, and naturally their thinking stayed in the thinking of the peasants in the feudal era.

Although blacks were indigenous people in the vast land of the East African colonies, the first government of East Africa was indeed the government of the East African colonies.

And the government can give the nature of ownership of the land, if you don't believe it, look at the natives, they only know that they live in this land, and the nature of the land is also stuck in the state where you can hunt and where you can pick fruit.

Immigrants had the concept of land ownership, and the land in the East African colonies was the private property of the Hexingen consortium.

Migrants, on the other hand, have no choice between serfs and industrial workers, but their basic human rights are guaranteed by law.

Although there were no courts or judicial organs in the East African colonies, Prussian law was applied by default, but not concretely.

The coexistence of the rule of man and the rule of law is the current situation in the East African colonies, similar to Liu Bang and the people's "Three Chapters of the Law", or the Twelve Bronze Tables of Rome.

There is a specific and fuzzy line.

……

The mayor continued: "In order to respond to the government's call, we in Kagonggo town also need to organize manpower to encircle and suppress the territory and surroundings of Kagonggo town. ”

With the issuance of the order, the town of Kagongo and its villages conscripted more than 1,000 temporary soldiers, issued weapons, and cooperated with the Kigoma municipality and its villages in carrying out a "clean-up" campaign throughout the Soren Lake District.

For a time, the entire Solon Lake area and the East African colonies were full of gunfire, as if it had become a big battlefield.
