Chapter 1056: Blood Debt and Blood Repayment
"Did these Siamese people eat the bear's heart and leopard gall? Dare to do it to the Chinese. Don't they know that the Empire is missing an excuse to do something to them? Wu Haoxuan was very angry. Although, the Chinese Empire has long been waiting for an excuse to send troops to the Kingdom of Siam. However, the Kingdom of Siam was so bold in attacking the vast number of Chinese, which was still difficult for him to accept. After all, those Chinese will pay a heavy price for this.
"Your Majesty, it is not yet known why the Siamese are currently targeting the Chinese. However, judging from the current information, it is likely that the Siamese are for the wealth in the hands of those Chinese. The Kingdom of Siam was hit hard by the economic crisis and suffered heavy losses. If they don't have enough money to back it up, they'll collapse. The wealth in the hands of the Chinese is targeted by them. Marshal Chen Xudong said.
"Your Majesty, the Siamese dare to provoke the Empire. The minister believes that there must be the support of Britain and France behind this. Otherwise, if they lend ten dares to the Siamese, they will not dare to do it. Tang Shaoyi said.
"Humph! Even if Britain and France supported them, this time, no one could save the Kingdom of Siam. Where is the closest warship we have to Bangkok? Immediately head to Bangkok. I'm going to leave Bangkok in ruins. Wu Haoxuan said viciously.
Soon, the Prime Minister, the Chief of the General Staff, the Minister of War, and the Minister of the Navy, who had learned the news, all rushed to the palace. After Wu Haoxuan gave the order for the fleet to bombard Bangkok, the Minister of the Navy, Marshal Sa Zhenbing, immediately called the Admiralty in the palace and asked them to order the Nanyang Fleet to send warships to Bangkok to carry out Wu Haoxuan's order.
Everyone knows that Wu Haoxuan is angry now. No one dared to dissuade him. In addition, everyone also believes that this time the Siamese are indeed looking for death. Since they are looking for death, then the Chinese Empire will fulfill them.
"It is unforgivable that the Siamese massacre the Chinese. The General Staff immediately came up with a plan to attack Siam and make the Siamese pay the price. This time, all the Siamese who participated in the massacre of the Chinese were executed. The Siamese royal family also arrested me, and I didn't let anyone go, and those who dared to resist were killed, including Rama VII. Wu Haoxuan ordered.
"Yes, Your Majesty." The military ministers of the empire did not raise any objections. Wu Haoxuan had already given the order in anger, and they only needed to carry out the order. The Kingdom of Siam was nothing more than a small country, and it would have been easy for the Empire to exterminate them. Besides, the empire had long planned to take the Kingdom of Siam. Now, they themselves sent to the door, then, of course, the empire will not be polite.
"The cabinet is ready, and in an hour, I will make a radio address to the whole people." Wu Haoxuan said. The mass murder of the Chinese in Siam must have been hidden. Therefore, Wu Haoxuan needs to take the initiative to tell the people of the Empire, and stir up the anger of the people of the Empire, so that Tom will support the Empire's righteous action against Siam. Wu Haoxuan knew very well that there must be the shadows of the British and the French behind this, and if it was not done well, there would be a conflict with them because of this, or even a misfire. Therefore, it is necessary to have the support of the people of the empire.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Prime Minister Yang Du nodded.
Now, the empire has even popularized radio. In the vast territory of the empire, almost every village was broadcast. This makes it easy for the latest decrees of the empire to be communicated to every corner of the empire in a timely manner. The Emperor of the Empire was also able to broadcast to the entire population of the Empire so that they could listen to the oracles.
China's thousands of years of feudal rule have made the Chinese accustomed to the existence of emperors. In the eyes of the Chinese, the emperor is heaven. The will of the emperor, that is, the will of heaven, cannot be violated. However, what the emperor is like, 99.999 percent of the people have never seen it. They can only figure out His Majesty the Emperor from the decrees issued by the government. After the radio was broadcast, the people of the empire were able to hear the voice of His Majesty the Emperor, which made the people of the empire extremely happy.
Wu Haoxuan also plans that after the invention of television, he must find a way to popularize television. That way, he would be able to make televised speeches. When the time comes, the people of the empire will love him even more.
At twelve o'clock in the afternoon, it is the time for the Chinese to have lunch. Whether it was in the city or in the countryside, in the factories, in the government offices, in the barracks, in the fields, the people of the empire began to eat lunch. In the case of the empire's grain harvest year after year, and food and clothing have long been solved, three meals have been implemented in all parts of the empire. Three meals a day can make people more nutritious and stronger. The physique of the yellow race is inherently inferior to that of the white people. If you eat only two meals a day, you can't compare with a white person. On the battlefield, Chinese* soldiers and Western soldiers often suffer a lot when fighting bayonets, mainly because they are inferior to each other in terms of physique and physical strength.
The radio program at noon was originally a song. During this time, radio stations throughout the empire would broadcast songs, such as patriotic songs and songs that sang the praises of the present happy life, enriching the cultural life of the people of the empire. Therefore, many people in the empire used to listen to the radio when they ate at noon, as if they had added a meal to their meal.
Today, however, is different. The song that was originally playing stopped all at once. This caused the people of the empire to look at each other, not knowing what was happening.
"What's going on? Why don't you keep playing the song? I've been waiting! On the land of the Central Plains, an honest rural man squatted at the door of his house with a bowl, and said with a frown. In his bowl, in addition to seasonal vegetables, there are also a few slices of oily fat meat.
Now the life of the people of the empire is much better, not only is there enough food to eat, but the chickens, ducks and pigs they feed themselves also make it possible for them to see meat from time to time. Unlike before, meat can only be eaten during the New Year's holidays.
"Could it be that the radio is broken? He heard about the village next door, and their radio was broken some time ago. Later, I went to the city and bought a new one, so I put it back on. A young man said.
"Then hurry up and tell the village chief! Let him figure it out. The middle-aged man said.
The major cities of the empire, the people of the empire who were taking a break at noon, also discovered this anomaly, and one by one they did not know what was going on. I don't know when radio has become a part of their lives.
At this time, a nice voice came from the radio, and those who often listen to the radio knew that this was a radio host, who hosted this song program at noon.
"Ladies and gentlemen of the Empire, let's be noon. Let me tell you the news, in ten minutes, His Majesty the Emperor will make a radio speech, please listen to the people of the Empire. To repeat, in ten minutes His Majesty the Emperor will make a radio speech, so please listen to the people of the Empire. "There was a voice on the radio.
However, everyone who heard the radio was stunned. His Majesty the Emperor did not make a radio speech, but that was usually during the Chinese New Year. At this time, it is not a New Year's holiday, how could the emperor suddenly make a speech? A lot of people look at each other.
Some well-informed people realized that something seemed to be wrong. Could it be that there is some crisis in the empire, and it is going to war with other countries? Other than that, there seems to be nothing that would make His Majesty the Emperor make an exception to a radio speech.
Regardless of what the people of the empire thought, everyone immediately relayed the news to their families, friends, and colleagues. As a result, a large number of people gathered under every radio or radio in the empire.
In the mountain village, under the leadership of the village chief, the whole village gathered on the threshing floor, ready to listen to the holy message of His Majesty the Emperor. Inside the factory, the workers of the whole factory also gathered. In the restaurants of the city, all the diners stopped their chopsticks and quietly listened to the sound on the radio. From the islands of the Pacific Ocean, to the immigrant villages of the Black Sea, from the icy Siberia to the hot South Sea rainforests, wherever there were Chinese, wherever there were broadcasts, all the people of the empire laid down their work and prepared to listen to the oracle.
Time passed quickly, and the voice of Emperor Wu Haoxuan was also transmitted to the ears of every imperial citizen through the radio signal.
"Good afternoon, people of the Empire." Emperor Wu Haoxuan said.
"Long live Your Majesty the Emperor, long live, long live!" After the people of the empire heard Wu Haoxuan's voice, they all began to chant long live. Although, the empire has long since abolished this set of old rites. However, the people of the empire still used it to show respect for the emperor.
Even in some remote places, some old people have long been kneeling on the ground.
"I want to tell you one thing with a heavy heart. Just today, in the Kingdom of Siam. The king of the Kingdom of Siam instructed his army to massacre the Chinese who had settled in the Kingdom of Siam. A large number of Chinese were slaughtered, their property was robbed, and their wives and daughters were molested. This is the Kingdom of Siam provoking the Chinese Empire. The Chinese in the world are one family, the Chinese of the Kingdom of Siam, and they are also our brothers and sisters, and we will never allow the Kingdom of Siam to harm our brothers and sisters. Now, in the name of the Emperor of the Chinese Empire, I issue an order that the Imperial Army be ready to attack the Kingdom of Siam, and bring all those murders against the Chinese to justice, so that Tom will pay for the debt with blood! Wu Haoxuan said angrily. (To be continued.) )
