Chapter 303 Torn Pieces

Guangren walked around like a whirlwind, came back and said solemnly: "Within a radius of two kilometers, there are at least 3000 corpses, many of which are children's remains. Could it be that there was a massacre here?"

In fact, on the way, they found some human remains buried under the sand.Considering that this is not a peaceful place, wars occur from time to time, and the desert is a dangerous area, it is not too surprising that there are victims.

But it is obviously too abnormal for so many remains to appear in one place.Shi Shuangcheng turned pale and said, "Can you determine the time of death?"

Guangren: "About fifteen to 16 years ago."

Hua Zhenxing: "I know what's going on, these are the refugees from back then..."

The great riot 16 years ago swept across the entire Jili Kingdom. It was a vendetta provoked by external forces, and many places were littered with corpses.There are many people in the city of Wago in the south, trying to cross the desert to take refuge in the city of Banda in the north; and there are many refugees in Banda City with the same thoughts, crossing the Madarao River and trying to escape to the city of Wago through the desert.

Some people should have reached their destination, and many people never made it out of the desert.

The most tragic time and place should be when the people fleeing from the north and the south meet in the middle of the desert. They are all fleeing to the other shore, but they know from the people they meet that the other shore is also hell.

Although it was the dry season at that time, most of the refugees had no means of transportation and had to walk across the desert, and it was impossible to carry enough food and water.The gathering of desperate crowds in the middle of the desert may also lead to a scramble for survival supplies.The road that Hua Zhenxing and others took happened to pass through the place where the refugees gathered in the desert 16 years ago...

After hearing Hua Zhenxing's conjecture, and looking at the piles of bones scattered among the sand dunes and water pools, everyone was silent for a moment.The drizzle stopped, Shi Shuangcheng also put away the bamboo magpie, and they walked quickly across the area in silence.

After a long time, the sand under his feet gradually turned into gravel. Shi Shuangcheng suddenly asked, "Hua Zhenxing, what happened to the riot you mentioned?"

What is the riot?Ever since Hua Zhenxing could remember, there have been constant disturbances in Jili Kingdom, large and small. In the port of Fesuo where he lived, people died of various accidents almost every day.If it were in Dongguo, it would be a major vicious security case, but here almost no police will enforce the law.

Even so, the great riot that swept across the country 16 years ago still makes everyone who experienced it feel palpitating.At that time, Hua Zhenxing was just born, and many things were told by others.

Jili Kingdom became independent only in the 60s of the last century. It was originally a geographical concept and was successively designated as colonies of several Western powers.In the 80s and [-]s after its independence, when the United States and the Mauro State were competing for supremacy, Jili State ushered in a period of golden development
The prosperity at that time was also superficial in many aspects. In order to exploit local resources, consolidate the international camp and influence, and achieve better control in terms of politics, economy, and culture, the original suzerain power group invested in the establishment of some enterprises, Supported a group of local forces.But in any case, at that time, Jili Kingdom did usher in a rare period of rapid development.

The situation changed in the late 80s and early 90s. This seemingly prosperous development stagnated, while control and plunder became more and more serious.In a few miles, more and more people are beginning to realize how oppressed and exploited this country has been.

The calls for developing national industry, realizing economic and political independence, and getting rid of new forms of colonial control are also getting louder.In response to this situation, the method adopted by the power group of the former suzerain country was to pry open the cracks within a few miles.

If the society of Jiliguo is torn into different groups and falls into endless internal friction, then it will be powerless to struggle.

How to tear society apart?The most common and most commonly used method is to design a set of templates, and then look for conflicts. If you can’t find them, you can create them yourself.Put pre-set labels on both sides of the conflict, a certain label represents a certain group, and then expand the conflict between the two groups, and repeat this operation in multiple directions until the society is torn apart.

For example, Zhang San and Li Si had a conflict. The normal way of cognition and handling is a matter between the two of them. First of all, it is necessary to distinguish right from wrong between the two. Receive compensation and comfort.

However, someone used another routine, labeling Zhang San as a person from the A tribe, a local, and a person of type A, and labeling Li Si as a person from the B tribe, local B, and type B.Then spread among people of type A that people of type B are oppressing people of type A, and among people of type B propagate that people of type A are oppressing people of type B, split everyone into two groups, and stir up conflicts and conflicts among them. hatred.

As for the identities of Zhang San and Li Si, why they had a conflict, whether they had a conflict, or even whether there were these two people, and the truth of the facts, it doesn't matter to those who provoked the conflict. a certain society.

This method of tearing society apart is usually vertical and within the same class, rather than horizontal and between different classes. Vertical social tearing can instead cover up the real social relationship between different classes. source of contradiction.

After the society is torn, it is difficult to heal, and A or B will be torn apart again by the same means.Most of the daily conflicts in Port Fiso once manifested in the form of neighborhood gangs, and the entire society has been completely fragmented.

So what role is the instigator of the conflict playing at this time?They have become the discoursers who point out the country and the saviors who are high above.

So in many conflicts, how to distinguish whether there is such a direction?There are two criteria for judging.First of all, to borrow the words of a great man, is there someone who forcibly distorts the contradictions among the people into contradictions between the enemy and ourselves?Secondly, is there someone who forcibly labels both parties in occasional and individual conflicts as a certain group, and then provokes the tearing and confrontation of the group?

Until now, Jili Kingdom has not established a real resident registration system, but 16 years ago, under the assistance and instigation of some unknown force, it actually issued passports to all citizens that most people do not need at all.

Judging from living habits, cultural traditions, and blood relations, there is no real ethnic division in Jili Kingdom, but in the official passports, all citizens are divided into different ethnic groups, roughly based on appearance. Well, in fact, the real standard is only clear to the instigator himself.

Speaking of this, Hua Zhenxing asked again: "Have you ever seen brothers with different nationalities in their passports? There were many such things back then, just because they lived far away and didn't look much alike. Someone's The nose is slightly flatter."

When and where did the riots start?Afterwards, no one can tell. It may be because of the inconspicuous civil conflicts that occur every day, which are magnified into group conflicts, appearing from multiple places at the same time, and quickly swept across the entire territory of Jili Kingdom, including other surrounding countries. .

The consequence of the turmoil was the disintegration of this country, which has continued to this day.The entire Jili Kingdom was almost smashed to pieces, poor and chaotic, with almost nothing to squeeze out, and had been forgotten by the world for a long time.

Why would the former colonial masters who controlled the Jili Kingdom prefer to let the country be destroyed, rather than allow it to become self-improving?Because they cannot tolerate their original status being challenged, this is an extension of the bandit logic, and deep in their group subconscious, I am afraid they are also full of fear.

Because they plundered this place, accumulated primitive capital, left a lot of bones in this land, and countless crimes have not yet been liquidated.On the other hand, they also like to preach in the name of God that everyone in the world is guilty, and that love and forgiveness are the most noble qualities.

Ordinary people in Jili Kingdom in purgatory want to struggle. They have no choice but to trample on their compatriots and become the top gangsters, and then accept the control of larger gangster forces. In the end, they still serve their will and interests. There is no way out.

Why did Shire's speech never conceal his past, but it can arouse the widest resonance among the people of this country?Because the new alliance led by Charles has given the vast majority of people another choice, allowing them to see a truly beautiful hope.

Hua Zhenxing talked all the way about the riot that year, and the Jili Kingdom before and after the riot. They finally arrived in Wage City at noon.

Wago City also has relatively "noble" neighborhoods. There are always police patrolling the streets. The major gangs try to avoid making trouble in this area and maintain a relatively stable order on the surface.

But leave a neighborhood like this, and things change immediately.The clothes of the four of them, especially their appearance and skin color, shouldn't have appeared in many places in this city, but they did appear, so they looked very abrupt, like a few lambs breaking into a pack of wolves.

Sewage-flowing streets and alleys, dilapidated and messy houses, and a big man with nothing to do at the entrance of the alley, with a dagger stuck in his clothes, saw them with fierce eyes and shouted: "This is not where you came, get out!"

Without saying a word, Hua Zhenxing turned around and left with the other three.Shi Shuangcheng muttered: "It's so fierce, are all the people here like this?"

Hua Zhenxing said with a wry smile: "Maybe he is a good man. He told us to get out, but he didn't want us to be in danger. He knows the situation in his neighborhood very well."

Guangren: "Fellow Daoist Hua sees problems from a very unique angle."

Shi Shuangcheng: "What is he doing standing at the entrance of the alley?"

Manman explained: "The gang in the neighborhood is a lookout. In every gang-controlled neighborhood, there will be such people at the intersection on weekdays. They will not let outsiders in casually."

Shi Shuangcheng: "Isn't it okay to drop by?"

Manman: "Looking at us, we don't have any relatives or friends there. If something really happens, we have to tell him exactly who to call and what to do."

They quickly turned into another block. At the entrance of the alley, there was also a big man with a swollen face. He looked up at them, his eyes were like a lion who had found its prey, but he didn't say anything.
