Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire
Chapter 631 The Mahatma’s Satyagraha
The policy implemented by the John Empire in Tianzhu was very strange.
While implementing the caste system, they also discriminated against religious beliefs in Tianzhu.
They support the Tianzhu religion, which has a larger number of people, and suppress other faiths.
For example, people who believe in Tianzhu religion charge lower taxes than those of other faiths.
For example, if two people have a conflict, they will unconditionally support the Tianzhu people.
Another example is dividing people of different faiths into different communities.
In a word, people from the John Empire are constantly stirring up trouble and creating conflicts in Tianzhu.
As a result, all the people of Tianzhu were very angry when the John Empire was messing around like this.
At this time, those people in the areas that were originally controlled by Daxia and those who had come into contact with the soldiers of the Daxia Empire suddenly discovered that their next-door neighbors, the Daxia Empire, respected them more than the people of the John Empire.
Daxia was originally a multi-ethnic and multi-faith empire. For the sake of the internal stability of the empire, Daxia has long required equality among all ethnic groups and respect for each other's beliefs.
Therefore, when they entered Tianzhu, the West Route Army and the North Route Army also received orders requiring them to respect the local people.
Respect here means not only respecting the local people, but also respecting their beliefs, living habits, etc.
Therefore, at that time, when the soldiers who entered Tianzhu during the occupation saw those Tianzhu people with different beliefs, they were only curious, not disdainful.
I saw some strange ways of praying, and during festivals, Daxia soldiers would take the initiative to maintain order, and then just stand and watch from a distance.
I will not stop or disturb the other party.
As a result, there was a sharp contrast between Bactria and the John Empire in the controlled areas.
A respect and understanding. The other was a brutal and brutal intervention.
In addition, the Daxia Empire was a neighbor of Tianzhu, and the people of the two countries had been in contact for thousands of years.
In fact, because of some literary works, Tianzhu is still a sacred land in the hearts of some people in Daxia.
A neighbor for thousands of years, a stranger thousands of miles apart.
One has a gentle attitude and respects their beliefs, while the other is opposed and suppresses their beliefs.
Faced with such differences, everyone knows how to choose.
As a result, these areas that were previously occupied by Daxia miss Daxia very much.
Then some well-known people in the local area gave suggestions to the John people, hoping that the people in the John Empire would respect them a little bit.
And will John Empire give them basic respect as they wish?
Of course not...
Even those who went to the John Empire to negotiate were imprisoned on various charges by the people of the John Empire.
This is like what?
It is like two families living in harmony. In one family, the family is harmonious, the husband and wife respect each other as guests, and the children are filial.
But another family suffered from domestic violence every day.
If it were you, who would you choose to live with?
Those who petitioned were imprisoned and sentenced.
This ignited the anger of ordinary people.
Ever since, those people began to prepare to resist.
Among them was a respected monk who proposed an attitude of non-violence and non-cooperation and refused to cooperate with the people of the John Empire.
We call on everyone not to work in factories run by John Empire, and lead people to sit in in front of local institutions on a large scale.
And the monk even threatened the John Empire with a hunger strike.
But the problem is, these people think too well of the people of John's Empire.
I feel that this can threaten the John Empire.
(The mahatmas in history were lawyers, not monks. Don’t find fault.)
Lin Yi knew very well that in the original history, around this time, protests broke out in Tianzhu.
But there were some differences between that time and now.
In the original time and space, the world environment at that time was the recovery period after World War I, and World War II was still far away.
Countries are in a mood to report and pay attention to this matter.
But in this time and space, the historical process is faster, and the contradictions between countries have already manifested themselves.
Everyone is worried that war will suddenly come one day, so how can they be in the mood to report on Tianzhu?
As a result, the Mahatma's protest did not attract international attention at all.
And if it didn't attract attention, then John Empire would be very shameless and pretend that this incident never happened.
Even the Governor-General of Tianzhu issued an order requiring the Mahatma to disband the protest team within 72 hours, otherwise he would bear the consequences.
The Mahatma certainly would not back down. Although he advocated non-violent non-cooperation protests, he was also a man of his own perseverance.
However, he seemed to have overestimated the cold-bloodedness of John Empire.
In his opinion, the number of protestors now exceeds 100,000.
Moreover, they did not carry weapons and were just sitting on a hunger strike to protest. Even if the people of the John Empire wanted to disperse them, it would be difficult to disperse them.
After all, they were not thugs, they had no weapons, and they did not smash, smash, or rob.
If the John Empire wants to resolve this matter, it should send someone over to negotiate with them.
Moreover, the Mahatma also knew very well that this was only the first time, and it was simply impossible for the John Empire to recognize their independence.
Therefore, the Mahatma's initial appeal was just to hope that the John Empire could improve the welfare benefits of Tianzhu workers. Respect their living habits and other relatively normal demands.
But, again, all the Tianzhu people who ran to protest thought the people of the John Empire were too good.
After all, the colonies of the John Empire are spread all over the world. If people from every colony run out and everything happens like this, will the John Empire survive?
Therefore, the John Empire had only one response to this kind of protest in the colonies, and that was to expel them by force.
Aren’t you going to sit down and protest? Then I don’t believe it. The gun is pointed at you and you still don’t leave.
Therefore, the governor of Tianzhu ordered that troops be sent into the city. After three warnings, those who did not leave would be regarded as thugs and could open fire.
After receiving the order, the Imperial John soldiers entered the city. The officer picked up a loudspeaker and asked the Mahatma to take the people away within two hours, otherwise they had the right to open fire.
When he heard the threat from the John Empire, the Mahatma simply didn't believe it. Facing more than 100,000 unarmed people, these soldiers dared to shoot.
So, while the Mahatma asked everyone to continue to sit in silence, he once again reiterated that these people are not thugs, and they need to have equal dialogue with the senior officials of John's empire.
The two sides confronted each other under such circumstances.
The officer also had a bad temper. Two hours is two hours, not one more minute.
When the time came, the officer directly asked the soldiers to shoot away the crowd.
The soldiers of the John Empire were experienced in rebelling against such protests, and they had long developed a hard-hearted heart. They did not understand what mercy was at all.
Therefore, as soon as the officer gave the order, the soldiers in the front row opened fire.
