Chapter 976(1/2)
In July, the weather in Mandalay was extremely hot. The Big Golden Crow was spraying tongues of fire into the world wantonly, and Empress Feng seemed to have forgotten her responsibilities. There was not a breath of wind in Mandalay.
The local dog lay under the shade of the tree and stuck out its tongue hard, and the people in the fields had no intention of working. They were all lying in the bamboo buildings, unwilling to move.
"Mr. George, the weather is too hot. And it looks like it will rain soon. It's not appropriate to dare to cause riots in this weather." Inside the church, sweat was like a stream on Cha Cha's dark face.
Flows the same.
George wore a black priest's robe and a cross on his chest. On the bridge of his nose, he wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses.
If Wu Sangui was still alive, he would definitely be shocked to see George dressed like this.
Is this still the same George with his meticulously combed hair? An English royal aristocrat turned out to be a missionary.
"Since the weather doesn't allow it, let's postpone it for a few days. Anyway, the Daming Factory here can't escape. Are the villagers agitating?" George sat on a chair. Although there was sweat on his forehead, it was worse than Cha.
This local is much better.
It has to be said that the spirit of the nobles is far beyond what a Burmese native like Chacha can compare with.
"These years of preaching have finally yielded results. The Ming people are constantly plundering you here. Look at the villagers in the village who got into trouble while working in the mines.
Look at those girls who were raped by the Ming Dynasty. They are pregnant but cannot find a husband.
Also, people from the Ming Dynasty destroyed your farmland, leaving you without food. People from the Ming Dynasty colluded with your leaders, stole your children, and sold them to the Ming Dynasty as slaves.
This cannot continue like this. You must take up your weapons and resist the tyranny of Ming Dynasty.
As long as you kill a Ming Dynasty person, you can go to the church to receive a reward of one Ming Dynasty silver coin. As long as you go to the streets to cause trouble, you can receive ten Ming Dynasty copper coins." George spoke Burmese in his mouth, which seemed to have a touch of sacredness.
.
Standing on the high platform, George opened his hands and looked majestic and solemn in his black robe, like a god.
"Dear Sir, it was you who built the road for us. It was you who gave the villagers food and medicine when they were sick and helpless.
I am willing to serve you, you are our hope." Cha Cha led a few people and saluted George solemnly.
"Okay, children of the Lord. Go ahead and start a rebellion as soon as the weather permits. Burn down the Ming people's factories and kill every Ming people you see."
Because the Ming people not only plundered you, they also blasphemed God."
"Kill these blasphemers."
"Kill them!"
"Kill the Ming people and take away their money and women."
"Kill the Ming people."
"I want to avenge my beautiful mother."
"We want to take back our mineral deposits!"
The people who followed Cha Cha into the church all raised their hands and shouted.
Of course, there is another voice.
"The Ming people have guns."
"It's okay, there are many of us."
"But even a large number of people can't stop a bullet!"
"We can just hide behind it then."
"I heard that there are guns in the church, and they are all in the hands of the police officers. They were distributed yesterday, but they are not allowed to be disclosed."
"Really or not?"
"Really, I saw it all. My brother is from the church guard!"
"Ask your brother, do you still need people in the church guard?"
"It's a little late for you to join now."
I don't know when, the sky outside the church was already covered with clouds. There was a "click" of thunder, and heavy rain poured down like a torrent.
After the rain, the weather became cooler. George adjusted his cassock and walked to a house in the backyard of the church.
There is also an old acquaintance living in the house, Kui Yi from the Netherlands.
"Everything is ready. As long as the weather permits, there will be chaos in Mandalay. Those friends of yours can really stir up a wave of public opinion in the Ming Dynasty."
"George, you don't know. Ming Dynasty already has something called a telegram, let alone what happened in Burma. Even if it happened in Paris, Ming Dynasty would receive it one day later.
As long as it is published in the newspapers of the Ming Dynasty, a storm of public opinion will quickly arise in the Ming Dynasty. As you know, the people of the Ming Dynasty have had a smooth sailing these years.
Their national self-confidence has been inflated to the extreme. As long as their people receive unfair treatment overseas, they will clamor for war at home to solve the problem.
As long as many Ming people really die in Mandalay, there will soon be a wave of public opinion in the Ming Dynasty. Even Li Xiao will find it difficult not to be affected by this wave of public opinion."
Kui paused and said, "Besides, Li Xiao himself is also a tough person."
"Haha! This is good. Dragging the Ming Dynasty into the quagmire of Burma will cost the Ming Dynasty a lot of manpower, material and financial resources. They can encourage the whole of Europe to carve up Russia, and we can drag the Ming Dynasty into the quagmire of war.
Soon, Myanmar will become a wound on the Ming Dynasty, and blood will flow out every moment. The Ming Empire rose too fast, and we have to delay their steps.
Otherwise, the Anglo-Saxons will be trampled under the feet of the Ming Dynasty forever.
When will the weapons you promised arrive?"
"It landed in East Pakistan last month, and it is expected to arrive in a few days. They are all rifles produced in the North American Territory. In terms of delaying the development of the Ming Dynasty, the North American Territory has the same goal as ours.
No matter what, we just need to make trouble around Daming." Kui Yi took a sip of water, and the damn weather finally got cooler. Otherwise, Kui Yi thought he would die from the heat here.
"In recent years, many Ming people have come to northern Myanmar to dig for gold and jade. There are many Ming people here. Believe me, as long as the local Kachin people are mobilized, the end of those Ming people will come."
"You just said that the people of Ming Dynasty ruined many girls here?" Kui blinked, he also wanted a girl now.
"The people of the Ming Dynasty did find girls here, but it was just as a concubine. When the people of the Ming Dynasty returned to the Ming Dynasty, they would naturally not take the concubines here.
To be precise, many local girls are vying to be the concubines of the Ming Dynasty. After all, being the concubine of the Ming Dynasty will cost you a lot of money, you can eat and drink well, and your family will also get a lot of property.
Who wouldn't want such a good thing? Kuiyi, this is a church, you can't find a girl here. If the parishioners see it, it will be difficult to explain."
"They said you built roads for them? Building roads costs a lot of money. Could it be that you already have money to spend on these yellow-skinned monkeys?
By the way! They also said that you gave them food and medicine." Kui Yi thought of another thing.
"The road was built by the people of the Ming Dynasty, but the people of the Ming Dynasty were very happy with their achievements. They would build a road near the village, making it smooth and spacious. But the people in the village had to walk a dirt road to get to the main road.
I just built some branch lines on the roadside to connect to the village.
Those yellow-skinned monkeys thought that I built the road.
As for food and medicine...!
Those drugs are new drugs developed in London, and they need to be tested by humans to see if they have any side effects.
It costs a lot of money to find someone to test the medicine in London. Using these yellow-skinned monkeys to test the medicine... haha!
As for the food, I bought it with the funds from the drug trial. I bought some pig food for the Kachin people to eat, and they will be grateful to me. Haha, everything is so simple.
They would also contribute 10% of their income to me. Now I know how much money the church can make.
God bless us! This must succeed and drag the Ming Dynasty into the quagmire of war.
There is no more suitable battlefield than here, except for the mountains and the rainforest. The locals are familiar with every road, but the Ming army is not familiar with the roads here.
The mountains and rainforests also led to logistical difficulties, and this battle was destined to be a protracted war.
The Ming Dynasty will spend a huge price for this war. The military expenditure, which is as valuable as gold and silver mountains, will become a continuous bleeding wound on the huge body of the Ming Dynasty.
Let them develop slower. They have developed too fast and are too powerful. Since we cannot defeat the Ming Dynasty, we cannot let our descendants be as afraid of the Ming Dynasty as we are.
One day, the Anglo-Saxons will become the masters of this world, a master more powerful than the Ming Dynasty." George found a bottle of whiskey from nowhere, and filled the bottle without using a cup.
I took a big gulp.
"George! You're not a friend enough. You have such a good thing, but you don't bring it out to entertain me. Oh! It's still French, haha, just right." Kui Yi grabbed the wine bottle and took a big sip.
In recent years, Kui has never been able to go back to the Netherlands. Nor can he go to England. He is not a member of the royal family like George, and England will do its best to protect him.
Kui Yi is just a Dutchman, England will not fall out with Ming Dynasty because of him.
After the defeat in the Indian War, Kui Yi began his escape career. In order to make a living, he even worked as a cleaner in the lowest hotels.
He was always on tenterhooks every day, fearing that Ming Dynasty's spies would find him.
In the list of war criminals announced by the Ming Dynasty, Kui Yi's name was very high. The Ming Dynasty declared that as long as Kui Yi was captured, he would be rewarded with a thousand Ming silver coins.
Whether in Asia or Europe, there are many people who want to get this bounty. Not to mention those puppet countries supported by the Ming Dynasty.
During an extremely dangerous time while evading pursuit, George rescued him. From then on, Kui Yi could only live with George. For him, such a life of fear would be better than a happy death.
The huge mental pressure turned Kui Yi into an alcoholic.
Nowadays, Kuiyi wants to take a sip of anything with alcohol in it, and sometimes even tries disinfecting alcohol.
The rain in Myanmar comes quickly but goes slowly.
After the heavy downpour passed, it started to rain moderately. Occasionally it would stop, but within half an hour, the raindrops would fall again.
It has been raining for half a month, and there is no hope of a sunny day.
To be continued...
