Eighty-six Declaration
Declaration of 1986
At this moment, there is already a sea of people in front of the small square. Chinese people love to watch beheadings, which has been proved by Mr. Lu Xun a long time ago. Although it has been replaced by hangings that they are not familiar with, it does not affect the local leisure time at all.
people’s “interest”.
Especially when they saw that the person being taken to the execution ground turned out to be a red-haired foreigner, the idlers became even more excited. After more than half a year of contact, the local people have become accustomed to the strange behavior of these short-haired people. No matter what they do,
You won't be surprised - everyone knows that these people are unscrupulous and dare to kill even the Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers, and of course they slaughter a few red hairs.
In the center of the square, Zhang Lushan's son Zhang Xiaoshan held a piece of yellow paper full of words in his hand, and loudly announced to everyone in the square the Dutchman's crime and what was done to him in the local Hainanese dialect with a slight stutter.
The verdict was issued. Originally, I planned to ask Master Li Changqian to do this job, but the old cunning man saw that his son had recently learned a lot of words, so he managed to win this opportunity for his son to show his face.
Here, two strong young men, Hu Kai and Li Wei, dragged the Dutchman who kept crying and begging to the gallows, and put the rope around his neck... At this time, Chen Tao walked up holding a cross.
"Do you have any last words?"
While Chen Tao motioned to Wang Tongshi next to him to translate this sentence, he began to recite the Lord's Prayer in Latin. This was something he had memorized under the supervision of his grandparents when he was a child, and it was also the only Latin sentence he could speak.
Most people here don't actually agree with him engaging in such superstitious activities, but it doesn't take a few minutes anyway, so they just let him go.
However, the Dutchman seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw. He knelt on his knees and muttered a lot. After listening to what he said, Wang Tongshi's face was full of anger, and he spit on the other person's face.
.
"Sir, this guy is still talking nonsense! He said that he is just an ordinary sailor, not a soldier, and has never fought against the Ming Dynasty. That time he transported prisoners. All actions were based on the captain's orders. He himself has never
I never wanted to harm any people of the Ming Dynasty. "
"Humph. That's what people on the gallows say. "
Pang Yu walked up from behind at some point, followed by the accuser Lin Sihai. At this time, he was staring at the Dutchman with eyes full of hatred, as if he wanted to rush up and take a bite.
"We can actually understand that you must feel aggrieved at this time - you must think that you have not committed a crime at all. Pushing those sick or seemingly sick Chinese people into the sea is probably nothing more than disposing of a damaged piece of equipment for you.
It’s just cargo. ”
Looking at the Dutch sailor, Pang Yu slowly spoke word by word. He spoke very slowly. Every time he said a word, he had to pause for a long time to let Lin Sihai translate his words into Dutch and speak to the other side.
The prisoner on death row also told the foreign sailors around him.
"...You so-called 'civilized people' from Europe have probably never thought that the aboriginal people in Asia, Africa, and North and South America are all human beings just like you. Although their skin colors are different, they have the same fluids in their bodies.
The blood of the earth is red. Like you, we also enjoy the right to survive given by God and the right not to be enslaved. The right to live freely on the land left by our ancestors. "
These words spread to the surroundings, causing everyone present, whether Chinese or foreigners, to change their expressions.
"And the most important thing..."
Pang Yu suddenly grabbed the Dutchman's hair and forced him to look into his eyes:
"We can also hurt you! If you dare to rob property or plunder people, we will hang you all. Expecting to conquer a country by setting up one or two cannons on the coast will not happen here.
Happened! This is not the Congo, not Zimbabwe, nor the Mayans and Aztecs!”
Slowly letting go of his hand. Pang Yu gave the frightened Dutchman one last look:
"You are not the first to die as an invader on a foreign land, and you will not be the last. No matter which God you believe in, the fire in hell will always be the same. "
Without mercy, he replaced the stunned Chen Tao's "dying prayer" with a vicious curse. Pang Yu patted the shoulder of Hu Kai, who had long been impatient:
"Okay, let's hang him up. "
The grievance meeting finally ended with the corpse hanging on the gallows. The effect of this meeting was almost immediately apparent - the local workers and the Ming army prisoners of war were all filled with indignation. If it were not for the guards, they would
They had the foresight to seal off the foreign prison camp, and I'm afraid there was a fight there as soon as it was disbanded.
Those foreign sailors who were originally very arrogant obviously had their tails between their legs and did not dare to respond to the provocations from the Chinese. They were secretly glad to have escaped this disaster. Who has the courage to act like a tough guy in front of the angry crowd?
?
As for the people in the county town, they saw another great show for free, which was enough for them to talk about for several months. Some of them, such as Mr. Li, the magistrate of Cheng County, inevitably did some research on Pang Yu's declaration——
They could already understand part of this declaration. Combined with Xie Xi's previous remarks such as "The Chongzhen Empire in the Ming Dynasty lasted only seventeen years"... the origin of these short-haired lands seems more suspicious?
Comrades from the human resources team, such as Zhao Lide and Guo Yi, were warmly praised by all the time travellers. Everyone agreed that the breakthrough they chose was very clever. It not only fundamentally eliminated the ridiculous sense of superiority of white Europeans, but also
It greatly united all local forces, including Ming army prisoners of war, and very successfully weakened the internal conflicts of the nation and shifted people's attention to foreign enemies.
——The content of the grievance meeting was quickly spread among the local people through the loud mouths of the hired workers. Now, thousands of ordinary people in Lingao County and its surrounding areas have automatically become those white captives
As a local guard, you no longer have to worry about those people trying to escape - if they dare to leave the prisoner of war camp alone, they will probably be beaten to death by the angry crowd immediately.
People in the Ming Dynasty were never afraid of foreigners, whether they were ordinary people or civil and military officials. This was completely different from the later Qing Dynasty.
When Hu Wen asked Ade how he came up with the idea of holding such a conference, the latter smiled bitterly:
"There is an elder in my family who is an overseas Chinese from Nanyang... When I had a heart-to-heart talk with those translators, I seemed to have gone back to the things my uncle told me in the past. "
"The history of blood and tears of the Nanyang Chinese... began from this period. "
Professor Li Mingyuan's face was complicated. Many historical events were only briefly recorded in history books, but they were unforgettable to those who experienced them. In the past few days, he had a deep understanding of them through talking to the overseas Chinese translators.
As a historian, this feeling of personally experiencing history made the old professor excited. However, as a Chinese, he couldn't help but feel sad for the tragic experiences of the overseas Chinese. This complex psychological state is still difficult for most people to understand.
It's really not easy to understand.
However, others have no intention of understanding. In the eyes of most young people here, they are making history, not just passively experiencing it.
"No, Professor, I don't agree with you. "
Tang Jian, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up and gave Professor Li a rare rebuttal:
"In our time and space, the Chinese in Nanyang will not have any history of blood and tears. If there is, it should belong to the colonists. "
"That's right, Captain Tang, I support you!"
The judge next to him slapped the table and shouted:
"Now that we are here, now that we have established a firm foothold... Brothers, we can change a lot of things!"
"Yes! As long as we are here, the territory of Southeast Asia will have nothing to do with the Europeans from now on!"
The little guy Ye Mengyan actually jumped out and made a declaration with great momentum, but in the eyes of Ling Ning and others, he just smiled.
"It seems that everyone's thoughts are very simple..."
Ling Ning poked Pang Yu, who had been silent. The latter had been silent since before.
"Do you feel that everyone seems to have been affected by that 'complaint meeting'?"
Ling Ning has always prided herself on being cool-headed and not following the crowd. Sometimes she seems a bit unsociable, but she has a good relationship with Pang Yu. The two often chat together in private.
"It's normal. Mass movements are a double-edged sword. To move others, of course you must first move yourself. "
"I'm just worried that we can start, but not the end. The power of the people is huge, but no one has ever dared to say that he can fully control this power, not even our great ancestor. Once the wave is over,
It is formed and in which direction it will rush, no one can say for sure. "
Pang Yu smiled slightly:
"Yes, but don't forget, brother, this is in the Ming Dynasty. And it is still the end of the Ming Dynasty, a stagnant feudal society. No matter the bureaucracy, the army, or the political economy, they are all in ruins. With just a hundred people here,
As long as it can make the tide surge, it is enough. Anyway, no matter what the consequences are, it will never be worse than the original history, right?" {Piaotian Literature thanks all book friends for their support.
