Tsarist Russia seems to have never been rich since ancient times. The extremely harsh natural environment forced them to replace quality with quantity.
The land area is extremely vast, but it is land that other nations do not want or cannot develop. Other powers cannot give up an inch of the truly fertile European territory.
It seems huge, but right now Tsarist Russia doesn’t even have the money to build a large Eurasian railway.
In the past, the Tsarist Russians purely used barbaric methods to raise soldiers. The limited money was only used to improve equipment for the soldiers so that they could improve their combat effectiveness.
There is no real improvement in the quality of life at all. All year round, we just eat potatoes and brown bread, then potatoes, brown bread, and the cycle starts again and again!
Only when they truly reach the territory of the Chinese people, and truly reach the warm areas of low latitudes, do they know what happiness is!
Needless to say, there are dazzling non-staple foods. There are dozens of categories of staple foods. Rice, wheat, potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn... These basic staple foods have also derived countless variations.
Meat is no longer simply boiled and grilled. Even a novice Chinese cook can make dozens of different dishes using the same meat.
Another manifestation of the great abundance of supplies is the abundance of alcohol, which is the lifeblood of the Cossacks. Although there is no vodka, the Chinese still have Erguotou!
Not only Erguotou but also countless local liquor series, these high-quality liquors immediately conquered the hearts of the mercenaries. They suddenly found that studying the classification of how many liquors there were in China was a task that could never be completed.
This kind of life is already a paradise for these Cossacks. In order for this paradise-like life to never disappear, they can only work harder.
what is your job? Of course, it is a dirty job that many Chinese people are not easy to do!
The Spanish ruled the Philippines for three hundred years. They teamed up with colonists from other countries and local indigenous leaders to brutally oppress and exploit the wealthy Chinese immigrants.
There have been more than ten famous massacres alone, and six mass graves have been discovered so far!
Those who come out to fool around have to pay back. What kind of agreement is reached between the King of Spain and the head of state is a matter for the gods. But when it comes to Manila and other cities in the Philippines, those massacres, robberies, and rapes... Such hellish crimes must be punished. Cleared up.
Under military control, Manila and other cities in Luzon became open-air courts where any Chinese could express their grievances. All Spanish-trained police officers, indigenous soldiers, and captive soldiers were imprisoned.
The most important task of these tsarist Russian mercenaries is to clean up European neighborhoods. I Chinese are still polite, but it is not our fault that the Rakshasa ghosts are rude.
When the Spanish government protests, we will blame these Cossacks. Even if the army is disbanded by then, it will not hurt!
Countless dungeons began to torture and extract confessions. The indigenous monkey soldiers were hung up and beaten, and they squeaked like gibbons in the rain forest.
The captured Spanish soldiers were not given preferential treatment. The Cossacks took turns playing and beat them until they confessed everything about eating shit when they were three years old.
There were more and more interrogation cases, and the files were piled up in the warehouses. Every day and night, the vicious garrison began to search for those criminals all over the city.
The Europeans who were the first to escape from Manila and the Philippines were lucky. At most, they lost their houses and other real estate, and they could escape the past when they returned to Europe.
The unlucky ones are those Europeans who are lucky enough to think that Spain is still an invincible empire!
The records of these bastards' plundering, exploitation, and fraud were uncovered. Almost 90% of the Spanish property was confiscated, a quarter of the Spanish were expelled, and the rest were put on trial.
Some people who had murder cases in their hands were even publicly shot!
The Manila Pier has become a place of execution. The Chinese who won the Franco-Prussian War have completely lost their bad habit of fearing foreigners. The scenes of trying and shooting foreigners are placed on the dock for all you foreign devils to see with your own eyes.
This Luzon is a place with rules from now on!
In fact, the foreign devils are quite mean. If you are good, they will be honest. If you know that the Chinese are not easy to mess with, then just abide by the law! For the sake of Chinese business interests, these people are quite tolerant.
Zai Chun was completely dizzy. He shot Spanish prisoners on the dock in front of businessmen from various European countries!
As soon as several crimes were announced, they raised their rifles and opened fire. The dead bodies were thrown into the mass graves and no one bothered to bury them!
If such a scene were placed in Sijiu City, wouldn't Dongjiaomin Lane be a disaster? But now those foreign businessmen from the United Kingdom, the United States, Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark, Italy... so many countries don't even have a damn thing.
We pay taxes as usual, and we still buy spices, rubber, pearls, and tortoise shells from Chinese merchants...
"Bitches! These foreign devils are also bitches. If you have breasts, you are a mother. If you make money, they are shameless!"
"Being afraid of power but not being moral, what the master said is absolutely correct!"
After all, Luzon is a newly recovered land. What is taught here to Zai Chun is not about national construction or commercial interests, but that power is truth!
Within the range of the Chinese navy's cannons, there is law and order!
Just when Emperor Tongzhi was stunned, suddenly there was a noise in the street, followed by crying, including Chinese and indigenous people.
The banging of gongs and drums sounds, and the Chinese execution ground also retains some shadows of ancient China. It also pays attention to the execution at noon, and also pays attention to some sense of ritual.
"It's the elders of the Kaba family, those group of clan leaders... Oh my god, they've all been arrested! They've all been arrested..."
The prison wagons are still in the style of ancient China, and parading through the streets is also an ancient tradition. Of course, there are also Chinese people who watch the excitement, and there is also the tradition of smashing rotten eggs with anger.
Seeing that Zai Chun was a little confused, Fangdong whispered, "The Kaba family was just a small coastal tribe three hundred years ago..."
"When the Spaniards came, this small tribe began to lead the way... They began to trap and kill other indigenous tribes and help the Spaniards capture slaves. At that time, the Spaniards' spice farms were all filled with indigenous slaves!"
"With the help of the Spanish, this tribe gradually integrated into the city and became a very powerful family!"
"When we Chinese came in in large numbers at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Kaba family began to cooperate with the Spaniards to massacre our folks!"
"The blood debt in history cannot be explained clearly. Just before we liberated Manila, more than 30 people in this family were senior officers in the Spanish indigenous army!"
"Their family has too much blood on their hands by massacring our rebels!"
"Did you see it? The sixteen people in front of you are the patriarchs of the sixteen branches of this family... You just got a spoonful of stew today!"
