C100 (1/2)
Chapter 100 - Holocaust
That night was the sleepless night for all the Chinese, and it was also the bloody night in their memories. From noon onwards, a terrifying rumor spread through the city that the Japanese was about to kill Chinese people. At the beginning, people were skeptical, but after the common people on the streets mysteriously disappeared, and the pubs, brothels, and casino began to close, the hearts of the entire city began to turn cold.
In the commercial district near the dock, the famous grain merchant Boss Mi Ba was in a constant state of panic. He hid with his wife and children in the grain depot, kowtowing to the worker as if he was praying for them to get through this calamity.
Time passed minute after minute, and Naha Harbor was still as silent as death. Boss Mi secretly peeked around the door and peeked outside, but he did not find any Japanese.
He saw that not far from him, countless figures drilled out from a warehouse belonging to the Japanese. Just from their clothes and the Katana at their waists, he could tell who they were: the Japanese Rangers.
Boss Mi was so shocked that he almost cried out, but luckily the shop assistant beside him blocked his mouth. In their line of sight, the group of Japanese s were currently pouring something onto their own warehouse, and immediately following that, a fire was lit and thrown into the warehouse. When the raging flames lit up, the group of Japanese Rangers roared loudly.
”Fire …” The people of Qing had set fire to the people of Qing … They wanted to kill all of Japanese … All Japanese s take up weapons to protect themselves … ” The group of scoundrels started framing their family again. They continuously poured fire oil on their warehouse while the other waves started attacking all over the place, specifically seeking out Chinese people to smash their stores.
”Eight …” Smash this door, pull out these Chinese people, and let them open their chests to apologize... ” The heavy wooden door was kicked open, and the screaming Chinese people were dragged out of the house by their hair. Anyone who dared to go up and resist would be stabbed.
Boss Mi's fist had already been stuffed into his mouth, his teeth had already bitten the back of his hand, he was so scared that even tears were flowing out of his eyes. Boss Wang who was stabbed to death was walking on the dock with him early in the morning, but he had already turned into a corpse as he stared blankly at the night sky.
Boss Wang's daughter's clothes had already been torn apart, a few people rushed over to vent their anger, the girl's mournful wails made the group of beasts even more excited.
Suddenly, the girl opened her mouth and bit onto the prodigal's throat, tearing at it with all her might. The prodigal cried out in pain as he took out a knife and cut open the girl's stomach. Eight! Qing Guo Nu, go to hell … ” The injured man hacked at the dead body again and again. Soon, the dead body of the little girl had turned into a pile of rotten meat.
The scene of the violence at the corner of the street was just a reflection of the chaos in Ba'e. Currently, the thousands of people that E Balang had formed in Ba'e City had already gone completely mad.
E Balang led the largest group of people and rushed into the most prosperous commercial district to begin looting those hardworking Chinese merchants.
”Hahaha, speed, speed, everyone increase your speed, kill these annoying Qing Guo Nu, and take their money away from them … ”Didn't you guys not pay the protection fee? You don't need to pay anymore, we'll take it ourselves …”
Gold, Silver, Jewelry Jade, Pearl Agate... The hundreds of years of accumulation by the Chinese had all been forcibly released during this night, and the light emitted by the pearl treasure had even surpassed that of the flames.
E Balang and the others had already gone mad, the wealth of China was unimaginable. These Chinese who had emigrated from the Ming Dynasty not only had the hardworking and tenacious Japanese citizens, but also the cultural background and intellect that the Japanese did not have. The proportion of these Chinese being educated is simply too high, which gives them a natural advantage in business.
Not only that, these Chinese people also had a bloodline connection with the wealthy and prosperous mainland, which allowed them to easily obtain good stuff that was unimaginable to the Japanese and the Ryukyu. Since the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, when the Naha Harbor's business advantage began to show, more than half of the port's wealth was created by the Chinese.
To put it bluntly, it was the hundreds of years of Chinese tax revenue that nourished the Ryukyu Kingdom and the Japanese Shimadzu Family. However, these thugs didn't feel the slightest bit of gratitude.
”Burn them all, rob them all, kill them all …” In any case, these slave-like Chinese will come back in a few years, Qing Guo Nu, you Qing Guo Nu … ”
The tyrants were burning, the Chinese were crying bitterly, the streets were filled with Chinese fleeing for their lives, and at this moment, the 100,000 Chinese were like headless flies that were scurrying all over the place.
Boss Mi no longer dared to hide in the rice barn. This area had already been turned into a sea of flames and his own granary had also been set ablaze.
Boss Mi staggered along with his wife and children and the shop assistant through the alleyway. He also didn't know where he should escape to. To the Shouli City? The King of the Glazed Ball dares to interfere with the Japanese? To find the great man from Qing? His dozens of subordinates were not even enough to cover the gaps in Japanese's teeth.
”Boss, where are we going?” The shop assistants were all sobbing.
”Go, go to the forest at the back of the mountain. Hide for a few days first. Sooner or later, these madmen will not be able to kill us all …” Boss Mi wiped his tears, carried his son and rushed forward.
Maybe it was under the protection of the ancestors of the Boss Mi that they did not meet any raiders even after running away for three streets. As Boss Mi chanted buddhist chants in his heart, he looked at the chaos in the city and could not figure it out. Why do we Chinese pay the most taxes, get blacklisted the most protection fees, never stick our heads out of trouble, always actively avoid trouble.
