To be fair, Xiao Letian's attitude towards the massacre was neither happy nor worried. Of course he didn't want this to happen, but if it did happen, there was nothing he could do about it. After all, the people of the Far East had accumulated too much in their hearts over the past nine years. resentment.
These Rakshasa ghosts are completely implementing a colonial policy towards the Far East. What is a colonial policy? That is to completely regard the local people as barbaric people instead of civilized people.
After the European Age of Discovery began, Europeans divided other nations in the world into two categories. One was civilized nations, such as China, the Ottoman Empire, Egypt, India, Japan, Korea, etc.
For a country like this with thousands of years of civilization, they usually use both civil and military means. First, they come with an envoy to pay their respects to Emperor Qianlong, hoping to conduct business cooperation through friendly negotiations. They then resort to military means when it really doesn’t make sense. To conquer.
After the conquest, a treaty will be signed quickly in accordance with diplomatic practices, and both parties will negotiate on a relatively equal footing under normal etiquette occasions.
This is a way to deal with civilized peoples, but it is not so friendly to the barbarian peoples, Europeans. In the South American jungle, the natives of the Mayan and Inca empires were slaughtered in groups, and their gold and silver were plundered.
In North America, the war with the Indians lasted for hundreds of years and turned a huge ethnic group that controlled the North American continent into a minority.
It was even worse in Africa. Under the slave trade, black people were no different from animals. As for the lower ethnic groups in smaller areas, Europeans even regarded them as rare animals that could be viewed in zoos and did not treat them as the same kind at all.
Why can these Rakshasa ghosts in the Far East massacre the survivors of the Qing Dynasty without restraint? Why can the Han people's wealth be robbed without any cover-up? Even when food is scarce during the long winter, they will use local people as two-legged sheep to eat?
In the final analysis, they do not regard the aboriginal people of this land as human beings from the bottom of their hearts. Whether you are a Han survivor, a Manchu aboriginal, or a wild Jurchen, Oroqen, Northern Mongolia... the low level of civilization makes this The group of Rakshasa ghosts directly classified the people here as barbarians.
This has to be said to be a tragedy of Manchu rule. Because he implemented a strict blockade and protection system outside the customs, it completely blocked all possibilities for the highly civilized Han people to help them develop this land.
The result is that the Manchus have settled in the Central Plains for nearly 200 years. The vast majority of Han people have recognized the integrity of the Manchu rule, but the Manchus themselves have not built their hometown well! Except for the annual increase in allocation of money and grain, all other construction has come to a standstill.
There are no basic projects, no large cities, no high value-added industries, no raw resource development, and even no resettlement areas where refugees can grow crops.
In the past two hundred years, except for the Liaoning area, the wider areas outside the Pass had not benefited from the Manchu rule. Everything was still in a barbaric state.
Because of the wilderness, those Rakshasa ghosts cannot classify these people into civilized races. To deal with these Han people who can gather into villages, Andreev and the others are still friendly. To deal with those few isolated tribes, such as the Oroqen, The Wild Jurchens, Northern Mongolia, and even some smaller ethnic groups all implemented the same tactics as dealing with barbarians.
Kill whenever you want, rob when you want, often the entire tribe is slaughtered... Xiao Letian knows that they are expanding the living space for immigrants from their country. Those strategic places, those areas rich in resources, Tsarist Russia can only keep to their own people.
Why can the Volunteer Army win all the hearts of the people in just one winter? This is closely connected with the brutal rule of the Rakshasa ghosts. For more than eight years, the resentment accumulated in people's hearts was enough to form this massacre. It is not an exaggeration to say that they asked for it.
Andreev looked at Xiao Letian's changing expression, sometimes sad, sometimes thoughtful, sometimes smiling strangely, sometimes with tears in his eyes... For the first time, he felt what it felt like to have fate in someone else's hands. Maybe When he ordered the massacre of the natives, those who could not decide their own fate must have thought the same as he does now!
"God! Are you finally giving up on us? That's all... there is no reason in war. If you lose, you lose. I won't ask you anymore... I'll kill or chop you as you please!"
Andreev gave up, and the representatives of the people were desperate now. They had no pride as soldiers. The men and women immediately fell to their knees on the ground, kowtowed to Xiao Letian and begged, and uttered a series of Russian moans.
No one noticed the strange light in Xiao Letian's eyes. He nodded from Cai Bixia behind him, then turned around and said, "Now you know you are afraid? When you massacred us Han people before, why didn't you expect this day to happen?" ? You are not sincerely repenting 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 around and pick up weapons again to fight us. In that case, we will be breeding tigers for trouble!"
Andreev lowered his head and said softly, "If you lose, you lose! Now that I have the courage to board this battleship, I have already put down my dignity! How can I prove my sincerity? Okay... I can reveal an piece of information , a total of 50,000 Central Asian cavalry regiments have been coming here, I suggest you not to invest too much energy in Vladivostok... prepare for battle!"
"Haha! It seems that you have really awakened... But why do I still see a trace of dissatisfaction in your eyes?"
Andreev suddenly raised his head, "Yes! Of course I am not convinced! You have been saying that we are cruel and that we massacred local people. I admit this! But I also want to tell you one fact. This land is the Qing Dynasty. What the empire signed a treaty to cede to us, Tsarist Russia, was not obtained by our direct aggression... Your Majesty! You are the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, wouldn't you deny the treaty nine years ago?"
Zai Chun suddenly blushed when he was asked, it was really a question of which pot should be opened and which pot should be raised!
"I...I...I..." Zai Chun couldn't say anything for a long time. The Sino-Russian Beijing Treaty was negotiated personally by his uncle, Prince Gong Yi?, and then used by the empress dowagers of the two palaces. At that time, he was still As for sucking milk, how could he influence such a big thing?
Andreev was speechless when he saw the emperor of the Qing Dynasty. He clenched his fists and said with great grievance, "You say we are cruel? Why don't you tell us how unruly you Qing remnants are?"
