1512 Retribution
To be fair, Xiao Letian is neither happy nor worried about the city massacre. Of course, he does not want this to happen, but it is helpless to happen if it really happens. After all, the people in the Far East have accumulated too much resentment in the past nine years.
This group of Rakshasa ghosts fully implemented colonial policies in the Far East. What is colonial policies? That is, they completely regard the locals as barbaric nations rather than civilized nations.
After the beginning of the European Age of Discovery, Europeans divided other nations into two categories, one was a civilized nation, such as China, the Ottoman Empire, Egypt, India, Japan, North Korea... and so on.
For such countries with thousands of years of civilization history, they usually use both civil and military skills together. They first come to the envoy to pay their birthday to Emperor Qianlong, hoping to carry out commercial cooperation through friendly negotiations. Only when it really makes no sense can they use military means to conquer.
After conquest, the treaty will be signed quickly according to diplomatic practices, and the two sides will also negotiate on a relatively equal basis in normal etiquette occasions.
This is a way to deal with civilized nations, but it is not so friendly to the barbaric Europeans. In the Mayan jungle of South America, the indigenous people of the Inca Empire were slaughtered in groups, and gold and silver were plundered.
In North America, the war with the Indians lasted for a century and killed a huge nation that controlled the North American continent into a minority.
In Africa, the miserable situation is even worse. In the slave trade, blacks are no different from livestock. As for the lower ethnic groups in their smaller areas, Europeans even think they are rare animals that can be viewed in zoos at all.
Why can these group of Rakshasa ghosts in the Far East slaughter the Qing dynasties unscrupulously? Why can they rob the wealth of the Han people without any concealment? Even when food is scarce in the long winter, they will use the locals as two-legged sheep to eat?
In the final analysis, they did not regard the indigenous people of this land as human beings from the bottom of their hearts, whether you are a Han survivor, or Manchu indigenous people, or the Wild Jurchen, Oroqen, Northern Mongolia... The low level of civilization has caused this group of Rakshasa ghosts to directly summarize the people here as barbarians.
This has to be said to be a tragedy of Manchuria's rule. Because he implemented a strict blockade and protection system outside the pass, he completely blocked the high-civilized Han people to help them develop all possible possibilities for this land.
As a result, the Manchus have been in the Central Plains for nearly 200 years, and most Han people have recognized the Manchus' rule, but the Manchus themselves have not built their hometowns well! Except for the increase in money and grain every year, all the remaining construction has stagnated.
There are no basic projects, large cities, high-value-added industries, and primitive resource development. Even refugees at immigration sites cannot grow crops.
In the past two hundred years, except for the Liaoning area, the wider area did not actually gain any benefits from the Qing Dynasty's rule, and everything was still in a wilderness.
Because of the wilderness, the Rakshasa ghosts cannot summarize these people into civilized races. Andrev and others are still friendly to deal with the Han people who can gather in villages. They deal with the lonely few tribes, such as Oroqen, Wild Jurchens, Northern Mongolia, and even some smaller nations. What they do is to deal with the barbarians.
Kill as you say you want, and rob as you say you want. Often, the entire tribe is slaughtered cleanly... Xiao Letian knew that they were expanding their living space for their immigrants. Those strategic places and those areas with abundant resources, Tsarist Russia could only leave them to their own people.
Why can the Volunteer Army win the hearts of the people in one winter? This is closely linked to the brutal rule of the Rakshasa ghost. In more than eight years, the resentment accumulated in people's hearts is enough to form this city-slaughter battle, and it is no exaggeration to say that they have made it themselves.
Andrev looked at Xiao Letian's changing expression, sometimes sad and sometimes meditating, sometimes weird laughing, sometimes tears in his eyes... For the first time, he felt what it felt like to be destined to be in the hands of others. Maybe when he ordered the massacre of the natives, those who could not decide their destiny were the same as what he was now!
"God! Are you going to give up on us? Forget it... There is no reason to war. If you lose, you will lose. I will not beg you again... If you want to kill or cut, you will be as good as you want!"
Andlev gave up, and the representatives of the people were now desperate. They had no pride of soldiers. Men and women immediately fell to the ground and kowtowed to Xiao Letian and begged for a series of Russian whispers.
No one noticed the strange light in Xiao Letian's eyes. He nodded from Cai Bixia behind him, and then turned around and said, "I know you are afraid now? When we massacred us Han people before, why didn't we expect that there would be this day? You are not sincere repentance at all, you are just afraid of death!"
"If I let you go, God knows if you will learn this lesson. Maybe you will turn your head and take up your weapons and fight us again, so that we will be raising tigers!"
Andrev lowered his head and said softly, "If you lose, you will lose! Since I have the courage to board this warship, I have already put down my dignity! How can I prove my sincerity? Well... I can reveal an information. A total of 50,000 cavalry regiments in Central Asia have come here. I suggest you don't invest too much energy in Vladivostok... prepare for battle!"
"Haha! It seems that you are really enlightened... But why did I still see a trace of dissatisfaction in your eyes?"
Andrev suddenly looked up, "Yes! Of course I am not convinced! You have been saying that we are cruel and that we massacre local people. I admit these things! But I also want to tell you the fact that this land was signed by the Qing Empire and ceded to us Tsarist Russia, and it was not obtained by our direct invasion... Your Majesty! You are the emperor of the Qing Dynasty. Would you not recognize the treaty nine years ago?"
Zai Chun was asked suddenly, and he was so blushing. What kind of pot is this that he really doesn’t open to pick up which pot!
"I...I...I..." Zaichun couldn't say anything after a long time. The Sino-Russia Beijing Treaty was negotiated by his uncle Prince Gong Yi. Then the two empress dowagers used treasures. He was still breastfeeding at that time. How could he control such a big deal?
When Andlev saw that the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty could not speak, he clenched his fists and said with great grievance, "You said we are cruel? Why don't you tell me how rebellious you, the Qing Dynasty's survivors are?"
