Chapter 2046 The Last Journey 17
That night, the garrison and officers of the Guangzhou Prefecture quickly dispatched, the city gates were under martial law, and the streets were cleaned and the market was closed.Hou Yanguang directly mobilized five thousand regiments to train into the city, went straight to Fanfang Street, and surrounded the "big cannibal settlement" consisting of nine lanes and eight streets. Amidst the intense fighting, all streets and exits were blocked.

The patrolling soldiers of Guangzhou Prefecture are responsible for the overall martial law and maintenance of order in the city, which also interrupts the nightlife of Panyu City and rarely ends early.With the government officers and soldiers making such big moves, Panyu City fell into a state of restlessness even in the depths of the cold night.

Of course, the Guangzhou Prefecture and County Yamen finally made a difference. The pressure was transmitted from the old emperor to the old emperor, and the officials and servants at every level showed ten times more enthusiasm and responsibility than usual.

The Guangzhou Prefecture issued notices overnight, and issued them at all levels, notifying all public offices and neighborhoods in the city. The requirements are also very simple. The city is under martial law. Scholars and citizens are not allowed to go out at will. They must bring their identity documents with them when they go out. Otherwise, if there is anything wrong, you will be responsible for the consequences.

As the main person in charge of this "rectification operation", Liu Changyan also couldn't sleep all night. He ordered people to find the architectural drawing of Fanfang Street, but it was a drawing from decades ago, which did not include the later expansion. It is basically difficult to correspond to the current actual situation, which shows the local government's lack of management of these Fanfang Streets.

Therefore, Liu Changyan had no choice but to mark on the map the most important target this time - the mosque, based on the dictation of some subordinates who were familiar with the situation.

Even Liu Changyan himself did not expect that twelve large and small temples would be built within the area of ​​Jiufang and Eight Streets.
If you think about it carefully, His Majesty's anger is indeed justified. If there are only one or two, it can be said to be an oversight, but if there are so many, if you don't even pretend, it is really a blatant defiance of the king's order and defiance of the imperial court.The previous officials were indeed not very good, and they had betrayed the divine grace. Liu Changyan had tried his best to distance himself from this matter. The short term in office was really a barely justified reason.

Staying up late is very hard, and Mr. Liu, who is in his fifties, is having a hard time, but the one or two subordinates under his jurisdiction have to move even if they don't want to feel comfortable.

When all preparations were completed, the next morning, the sky was bright, and all the officers and policemen under the Guangzhou government, who had been waiting for orders for a long time, were dispatched. They were divided into groups and detachments and went their own way, and launched operations in accordance with the "rectification" plan formulated by the government overnight.

Despite the huge commotion, according to the government's plan, they only plan to demolish the temple in Fanfang Street first. This will have the most immediate effect, and it will also facilitate the achievement and give the old emperor an explanation.

As for the problem of changing customs, it can be solved later.As for the temples in Guangzhou Prefecture outside the city and even in the entire Guangnan East Road, the capital command department directly sent troops to do it.

In Panyu City, Datou was obviously the most "toxic" place in the eyes of the old emperor.At first, when they saw the heavily armed and murderous Guangzhou government officers, the cannibals in Fanfang Street were very angry, but they did not resist. The ordinary cannibal merchants hid in their homes obediently and only dared to Peep the situation through the cracks in the doors and windows.

As a result, many MSLs saw something that touched their souls.The noble, wise and kind imams and elders were tied up with ropes by the guards and paraded through the streets. They didn’t know where they would be taken, and they didn’t know what the outcome would be;
A large number of scriptures, ritual instruments, and decorations belonging to the YSL religion were piled on the street, poured with kerosene, and set alight;

Believers close to the mosque watched helplessly as the temple, which they regarded as a sacred place, was trampled on and demolished wantonly by government officials, and the sound of "dong-dong" walls was constantly being smashed.
For those true believers, what the government does is destroying their spirits, burning their souls, and trampling on their hearts.

However, being able to travel across the ocean to Guangzhou to work hard, he certainly has the attributes of being adventurous and fierce, and he is also able to understand current affairs, especially in a foreign country, having such a place to live is enough.What's more, as a big man, how can you really not know the court's attitude towards YSL?

It's just a matter of time. When they heard that the Emperor of Han Dynasty would visit Guangzhou, some knowledgeable people among the Han people already had a bad premonition.It’s not a secret. The anti-religious elements in the entire Han Empire first recommended the old emperor, followed by Wei Wang Liu Min.
Therefore, the Guangzhou Prefecture's renovation of those temples is progressing smoothly. It may take several months or even a year and a half to build a temple, but it only takes a day to destroy it.

By the time it was almost dusk, the finishing work had already begun. Martial law was still being enforced, but everyone, including the officials and the people, slowly relaxed their nerves.

And accidents often occur at such moments.It is difficult to say exactly how many cannibals and MSL believers there are in Panyu City. Based on the past performance of Guangzhou Prefecture, the registration data is obviously inaccurate.

But at least there are no less than [-] to [-] people in Fanfang Street. These people come from all kinds of people and come from a wide range of sources. Not all of them are rational and sensible people. There must be some "crazy believers" who are not clear-headed.

First, the two guards who were on guard and put a seal on the completely vandalized mosque died and were assassinated in the dark.

This was obviously an act of retaliation and could be seen as a provocation to the government. Naturally, the government could not give up. Without waiting for an order, the officers had already launched an operation to search and arrest him.If we talk about procedures and evidence, it will be very difficult to find the murderer. But at this tense moment, all rules and regulations can be temporarily put aside, let alone a group of people who killed the police officers and took revenge on the government.

A head catcher on a mission in the arresting room thought of a way to arrest those believers who usually had a "loud" reputation, so as to open a breakthrough. The officials above did not know the internal situation of these big cannibals. The catchers As an upper-class figure among the local gangsters, I know a little bit about it.

During the arrest process, the accident began to escalate. First, some people resisted the arrest. If they wanted to escape, that would be fine. They dared to resist with weapons, not only using knives and swords, but also bows and arrows.This matter is serious. According to the urban public security regulations of the Han Dynasty, ordinary citizens are not allowed to own bows and arrows. Violators will definitely be beheaded or exiled, and they will definitely have to serve in hard labor.

When trouble broke out, the police officers immediately concentrated on suppressing it. The number of people participating in the resistance also increased, and the chaos further expanded.The night brings tranquility, suppresses the cowardice in people's hearts, and amplifies their courage. Those MSLs have accumulated deep hatred during the unreasonable and excessive actions of the government during the day, and all kinds of negative emotions burst out one after another.The officers, who had worked hard all day and night, were also very violent. From suppressing the riots, they gradually evolved into retaliatory killings, and the scope of their attacks continued to expand.

When Dusi and the Guangzhou government received news that the Fanfang Street MSL had gathered to rebel, things quickly slipped into an abyss that was no longer controllable.

Official missions were dispatched, inspections were dispatched, and garrisons were dispatched. On a winter night in the south, in the city of Panyu, a touch of blood enveloped the once bustling Fanfang Street.

It is difficult to tell when exactly the incident occurred and how it spiraled out of control. We can only make a simple summary of the incident based on its results.

First of all, many people died. The initial thousands of officers and five thousand regiments could not even completely control the situation, so Dusi transferred another 1 people into the city. The task became to counter the rebellion, kill the big food rebels, and start from the hands. Those who hold weapons, all those who show hatred on their faces, and in the end, as long as they are big foodies, breathing the air of big men is a capital crime!
During the counter-rebellion process, the entire city of Guangzhou inevitably fell into turmoil. The liquidation of the cannibals, more accurately, should be the killing and plundering, not only of the government officials and soldiers, but also of some Panyu people.

"The Great Eater has rebelled!"

"Banren killed someone!"

"."

Similar cries continued in Panyu City for more than an hour, until they were completely drowned out by the sounds of fighting and wailing.

Some people are just trying to take advantage of the situation. After all, although Fanfang Street is the main settlement area for the cannibals, it does not mean that they just live there. They have their business activities everywhere in the city, especially in the big shopping malls and foreign products streets. trace.

As a result, some neighbors who could still greet each other with smiles on weekdays launched attacks on the people next door that night.Some people simply protect themselves. In such a chaotic situation, it is safest to take up arms and kill all those who threaten them.

Although the government mainly targets cannibals, other foreign residents in the city, such as Korean, Japanese, Nanyang, and Tianzhu neighborhoods, are also inevitably affected, especially Tianzhu people and those who cannot speak Chinese well.

The killing lasted for three days and three nights, and it was not over yet. Of course, the authority of the Han government was still there and it had full control. Starting from the second day, the chaos was completely suppressed and confined to Fanfang Street, where the cannibals lived.

But the scope of this incident was far more than that. Outside Panyu City, among the people of Guangzhou Prefecture, in those towns and docks, a larger-scale suppression of the cannibals was also launched. To this extent, Even if the officials and the people move together, they will not stop fighting.

In and around Guangzhou Prefecture, the Forbidden Army, regiment training, police officers, and rural soldiers, all military and non-military units, totaled more than 3 people, and they were all involved in the suppression of the Dashi rebels.

Later, even the navy stationed in Guangzhou Bay joined in. Their target was the large food merchant ships that had not had time to sail back south. They seized hundreds of ships and also killed many people.

At first, if you can prove that you are not a YSL believer, you can still survive. However, as the atmosphere becomes more and more fanatical, as the blood dyes people's eyes red, rationality gradually turns into bestiality, the screening work seems to be unnecessary and has not been implemented. leeway
It was not until November 25, six full days later, that the suppression of Fanfang Street in Panyu City officially came to an end, ending with the fact that within the nine streets and eight streets, there were no more young and middle-aged men who could threaten the safety of the officers and soldiers.

A crackdown on religion eventually evolved into a bloody massacre and purge, which was more like a general release of contradictions.It is true that the arrival of the cannibals brought novel products, fashionable customs, and YSL teachings to the people of Guangnan. Although there were people who regarded these as fashionable and rushed to imitate them, they were equally rejected and disgusted. There are more.

In the entire Guangnan East Road, except for Guangzhou Prefecture and even Panyu City, how many places maintain an open attitude?At the same time, what the people of Guangzhou usually see is that the cannibals are living comfortably in their territory, and have earned a lot of wealth from their transactions with the Han Dynasty, and they also show a state of affluence on weekdays.

This naturally aroused the jealousy of many middle- and lower-class people. In the past, they were protected by the government, and the cannibals, especially those MSLs, were extremely united and difficult to provoke. Now that the government suddenly becomes tough and imposes major orders, it is natural to add insult to injury.Even, chew off a piece of meat from the big man-eating body
Regardless of the reasons or conflicts, the final result was probably beyond the expectations of many people, including the old emperor himself. Many people even reacted afterwards with pale faces and shock. The people of Guangzhou who had been in peace for many years also Intuitively feel the bloody blooming of a prosperous age.
It is difficult to tell whether this was due to the emperor's authority. After all, the emperor was so angry that he laid down millions of corpses and shed blood for thousands of miles.Or perhaps, this is the "charm" of certain religions, which makes people risk their lives, lose themselves, and go crazy.

How many people died in this incident was not calculated until the end. We only know that during the remaining winter of the 29th year of Kaibao, there was a lot of silence in the city of Guangzhou, and Fanfang Street, which was once bustling, turned into a ghost. area.

As for Guangnan East Road, the senior officials are in tears. After this chaos, the economy of Guangzhou Prefecture will regress for at least ten years. Their money bags are...
