994 Public Trial Assembly
The corners of Master Long's mouth curled up. He knew that Sister Wu had prepared according to his requirements and the show was about to begin. When cleaning the battlefield, he refused to ask for the massacre of prisoners, and the public trial meeting was waiting for.
It is absolutely impossible to fight for the people's hearts in the Far East without fighting for the people, but there are tricks to fight for the people's hearts. It is absolutely impossible to fight for violence alone. You cannot carry out uncontrollable massacre just because the local people hate Russian rule, which will make the local people think that the volunteer army is actually no different from the bandits.
Killing is not the purpose, killing is just a means. Even if the Volunteers come to a mass trap today, the group of Russian soldiers were buried alive, but the effect is definitely not as good as a public trial meeting.
Because the trial represents the ruling of order against chaos, the trial itself is a government act, and it will make the people feel that they are cooperating with an orderly government, not just a group of murderers.
Since ancient times, the Central Plains dynasty's attitude towards bandits has been very clear. If you don't kill officials, everything will be easy to discuss and recruit peace is not impossible to consider. But if you kill officials and pull the flag, this is the ending of endless death. The ruler will exorcise you with all his strength.
The reason is very simple. You want to establish another set of orders that belong to you outside the national order. Is that great? When the people find that you have another set of orders that can operate normally, and even do a good job in some aspects, this is a big problem.
The ultimate goal of the Volunteer Army is to establish a country, so of course we cannot choose bandit-like governance methods, and we must leave an orthodox impression on the people of this land from the very beginning.
Thousands of people surrounded the open space, and not far away was the cattle shed for prisoners. Sister Wu led a group of CIA officials to maintain order. Soon the first batch of Russian soldiers were pulled up, and the ropes were tied into a string, just like a buying and selling animal.
These fierce Rakshasa ghosts have never seen such a scene. If they are defeated in their hearts, they will either die or change their identity to work hard for you. It is nothing more than these two choices. Why did they bring them to the crowd today as monkeys?
Several soldiers felt that their dignity was challenged. They roared angrily and wanted to break free from the ropes and rushed towards the people around them, which scared the people back one after another.
"Maintain order! Those who dare to resist will be killed without mercy!" Sister Wu issued a strict order. The two soldiers pierced the most fierce Russian in one stroke, one after another, and fell to the ground and bleeding all over the ground.
Faced with the massacre of even these Rakshasa ghosts, they had to bow their heads, and the remaining nine people finally became honest.
At that time, a CIA official held a tin horn and shouted to the people around him, "Don't be afraid, fellow villagers don't be afraid! Today, there are volunteers who support you, and they can't hurt you..."
"We Chinese are not wild animals, nor are we beasts. We are dignified people, so we cannot learn from these Rakshasa ghosts to kill people indiscriminately, so we have to publicly interrogate these criminals!"
"Now, please identify the villagers. Have these Rakshasa ghosts hurt you? Come out and prove him boldly, and we will make the decision for you! It is natural to kill people and repay their lives, owes debts and pay them back..."
The crowd was silent, and the intelligence officials shouted three times in a row but no one came to testify. On the one hand, they did not dare to. The cautiousness passed down by the Chinese people for thousands of years made them dare not be the one who stood out.
On the other hand, they are not adapted. This kind of drama of Master Qingtian making decisions for the people will always exist in the drama. Although the people have fantasies about this kind of thing, they also have distrust. They are a little helpless when they are caught off guard.
Sister Wu and the others had already registered this situation, but she nodded secretly at the crowd. The representatives of the Sandaogou, who had been rehearsed in advance, finally stood up timidly.
"Old...young men! I am the fur craftsman in the village. Do you all... know me?" People turned their eyes to this old coquettish who used to be honest and honest, and suddenly remembered the boss he died last year.
The fur shiver said, "It was last autumn that I was forced to recruit by these bastards to the military camp to repair saddles and various leather goods for them... They worked for a whole month, but they didn't give me a penny!"
"We ordinary people don't have rich money and don't have rich food at home. How can I live this winter if I delay a month of making money? Although there are some villagers who can help you, life is just as difficult as everyone's life. How much can I help?"
"My old woman was hungry and angry and finally died in the middle of winter. You all know that she died of illness. In fact, I know in my heart that she was starving to death, she was angry to death!"
The old cobbler pointed to the first soldier and shouted, "It's him, I will never forget this bastard in my life. He locked me away from home. He also took care of me and beat me in the military camp! Lao Zhang, a carpenter who entered the military camp with me, can testify..."
Carpenter Zhang, who was smoking a dry tobacco, stood up and knocked the ashes on the soles of his shoes. "That's right, it's this Russian. He even ruined the daughter of the Sun family in Langwozhang Village next door. Everyone knows about this..."
Two people took the lead and the others moved, and the hatred that had been over the years suddenly broke out.
The Russian soldiers in the crowd couldn't understand what the Chinese were yelling, but they knew that the situation was not good and that the murderous aura was so strong that they seemed to be unable to escape and die.
The soldiers at the forefront screamed in Russian, and the nine soldiers suddenly became in chaos. They wanted to rush to the direction of Sister Wu, trying to capture the thief first.
Sister Wu sneered and waved her hand. Zhushanchou behind him, Maeda Yujiro took a group of sword-drawing team members and rushed forward. After a blood ray, a string of heads were hung on the wooden pole.
The blood aroused people's courage to resist, and thousands of people waved their fists and shouted, "Good killing... If you have complaints, you will take revenge! If you have revenge, you will be tried by them..."
Once the situation opens, a potential energy will be generated quickly, which makes people unable to stop even if they want to stop. More and more Rakshasa ghosts are pushed to the public trial site, and the long-clogged atrocities are revealed.
Murder, robbery, rape... and several tragedies of slaughtering the village were also revealed. There were six officers around Sister Wu doing shorthand, and all the crimes were recorded and then the witness signed and stamped.
The Russians have ruled the Far East for seven years. Since the Second Opium War signed the agreement in 1860, all the Far East have been in a state of increasing troops from 1861 to the present, and more and more Rakshasa ghosts inevitably have conflicts with the local people.
In addition, the ethnic castes are fundamentally different, and cultural differences and language differences have quickly turned the conflict between the two sides into hatred. In seven years, the people in the Far East have accumulated endless hatred in their hearts.
In real history, even if Xiao Letian did not contribute to the fire, continuous riots in the Far East would have occurred. Unfortunately, they did not have effective organizations and could not receive any external support. The final result would be failure and massacre.
