The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 170 Public Trial Assembly
Zhu Hongyu boarded the high platform, sat on a chair, pulled out a command arrow and threw it on the ground, shouting loudly.

"The public trial begins!"

Immediately afterwards, there was a dull sound of war drums.

A row of war drums was placed on both sides of the high platform, and the drummers stood bare-chested in front of the drums, waving drumsticks.

Boom!dong dong!dong dong dong!

The muffled sound of war drums restored the tranquility of the people who were still noisy near the high platform.

There is a depressing and low atmosphere in the air!
"Take the prisoner!"

Zhu Hongyu said loudly again.

The soldiers of the Liberation Army under the high platform passed on word-of-mouth, leading the shouts of prisoners, and gradually moved towards the distance.

The sky had just brightened, and the morning breeze was blowing, and the salty and humid sea flavor in the air was unusually obvious.

But no one cares about this!
The atmosphere in the air is chilling, looking along the end of the flow of people, it is a big prison.

With a creak, the prison door was opened!
The soldiers of the Restoration Army escorted the disheveled and shackled Spaniards, natives, and scum among the Chinese out of their cells.

These people look very embarrassed!
All of them had stiff hair, dull eyes, sunken cheeks, and the white prison clothes on their bodies were covered with all kinds of nasty stains, even blood.

These prisoners looked like walking dead, and they were driven out onto the street, towards the public trial site.

It can be seen that these prisoners should have tasted a lot of torture from Jin Yiwei.

The sun shone on their faces, and many of them showed photophobia, and some even screamed subconsciously.

These prisoners were the ones who committed the most heinous crimes and deserved to die.

After waiting for the public trial to end, a considerable part of it will be pulled out as a model and executed on the spot.

The rest will be sent to contribute to the foundation work of modern hospitals!

Most of the Spaniards who committed less serious crimes have been sent to labor camps and began to work hard to build a new feudal Ming Dynasty.

"kill!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

"..."

The prisoners staggered on the road, and the icy gazes of the Liberation Army who maintained order on both sides of the road focused on them.

The Liberation Army made a burst of shouts of killing. As the prisoners walked, one after another, the soldiers of the Liberation Army pointed the muskets with bayonets in their hands at a 45-degree angle, obliquely pointing forward.

A cold light shone on the bayonet!
The sound of shouting and killing, and the sound of bayonets piercing the wind, were unusually clear.

Seeing this scene, some of the prisoners were so frightened that they slumped down on the ground.

The expression on his face was full of fear and trepidation!

The prisoners were escorted and continued to move towards the high platform. From time to time, some people fell to the ground, their faces pale and frightening.

Former Manila Governor Barossa, Bishop Sares, Archon Rica, Mr. Capello of the Scotch family...

A large number of the so-called dignitaries in Manila before are all among the prisoners!

In the past, they were high above and looked down on the whole of Manila, but now they are lowly in the mud, becoming the lowest and most useless death row prisoners, who are about to be arrested and beheaded.

Governor Barossa was first escorted onto the high platform, and then knelt on the high platform.

A recovery soldier with a loud voice stood up and began to read Barossa's crimes.

A moment later, a bang of a horn resounded!
Governor Barossa was sentenced to be cut in half.

Because although Governor Barossa is the Governor of Manila, the Governor of Manila has a term of office, and the previous two Tuhua incidents have nothing to do with him.

Although historically during his term of office, the third massacre of China was about to occur in 1662 in the Western calendar, Zhu Hongyu could not use what did not happen as the basis for convicting Barossa.

Then it's considered hooliganism!
Zhu Hongyu has shame, he can't do such a thing!

Therefore, in the end, Barossa was only sentenced to be cut in half.

Executioners are very experienced.

He wailed and screamed on the high platform for a long time before dying helplessly in despair.

The next one is Bishop Sareth!
The governor of Manila is tenure-based, but the bishop is not.

Although the first two Tu Hua massacres had nothing to do with Sareth, the second Tu Hua massacre happened.

Bishop Sares is one of the leaders!

Zhu Hongyu couldn't find another leader. The previous governors of Manila could only vent their anger on Bishop Sares.

Simply put, Zhu Hongyu arranged a Lingchi execution package of [-] knives for Sares!
Bishop Sareth was tied to a cross, his fat body was tightened by a fishing net, and pieces of fat protruded from the mesh of the fishing net.

A master chef whose ancestors have been sliced ​​ducks for several generations came to the stage, and said with a half-hearted smile.

"Hey, wait a little bit!"

"The little ones used to practice their skills with ducks, but this is the first time for a big girl to get on a sedan chair, so bear with the pain."

While speaking, he took off Sares' jaw and stuffed a hemp walnut into his mouth to prevent Sares from committing suicide if he couldn't bear the punishment.

When Sares Lingchi was cut in half and Barossa was waiting to die, the other prisoners were also escorted to the high platform.

The crimes of the criminals were made public one by one, and then, amidst the cheers of the surrounding people, they were executed!

The knife flashed, and the head fell to the ground!

The people watching all around cheered.

Zhu Hongyu sat on the high platform from the beginning to the end, and kept ordering the execution.

The high platform was almost stained red with blood, and corpses were piled up one after another, waiting to be processed.

More people were not beheaded immediately after being sentenced, but were transported back to the prison, waiting to be experimented on.

Although they can live longer, it will be very unsafe to die...

……

After the public trial conference, the military government's census of Luzon finally came out.

There are a total of more than 4000 Han Chinese in Luzon, most of whom are young adults between the ages of 40 and [-].

Among them, the elderly only account for about 5.00% of the total population, and children without labor force account for about 20.00%.

The ratio of male to female is about three to two!

Most of the population of Luzon migrated from the mainland. During this migration process, young and strong men are obviously more likely to survive than women.

There is also the patriarchal ideology of people in this era.

So, now the ratio of men to women in Luzon is three to two, which is not healthy, but not too bad.

In addition to the Han population, there is also the indigenous population!

After the Restoration Army won the decisive battle in Luzon, several Igrot tribes who had taken a wait-and-see attitude before that, learned from the Crocodile tribe and chose to surrender to the military government.

Move out of the mountains and start to settle on the plains outside the mountains!
And accept the jurisdiction of the military government of the Restoration Army!

The military government chose to accept almost all of these indigenous tribes.

The conditions given to them are similar to those given to the crocodile tribe, conscription, payment of food, acceptance of management, and Sinicization.

However, compared with the crocodile tribe, these aboriginal tribes who surrendered later had to pay [-]% more taxes.

It can be regarded as the difference between surrendering first and surrendering later.

When the crocodile tribe surrendered to the military government, the decisive battle between the military government and the Spaniards had not yet started. They took a great risk to surrender to the military government.

In case the military government is defeated in the decisive battle with the Spaniards, the crocodile tribe that stood in line in advance will definitely be liquidated by the Spaniards.
