Chapter 229 Undercurrents (15)
Chiapas is a remote and backward state on the southeastern border of Mexico. The state is adjacent to Guatemala in the east and the Pacific in the south. It has obvious location advantages and is a passage to Central and South America.
Chiapas is mainly based on agriculture and produces coffee, cocoa, sugar cane, corn and wood, etc. It is also a major fishery and fruit production province. In addition, Chiapas also has minerals such as gold, silver, copper and oil, and has a very rich oil reserves.
Due to its abundant resources, Chiapas has been ravaged and plundered by large estate owners and capitalists for centuries, making its wealth unable to fall into the hands of local civilians.
Therefore, the state often faces the struggles of poor peasants against exploitation and plunder.
Especially Satoro, the owner of the large estate in Tokaro Town in southern Chiapas, greedily plundered the land and cottage commons of the farmers in the town in order to pursue the profits of sugar, forcing the majority of farmers to leave their hometowns and become hired workers, refugees and bandits.
Of course, if someone comes forward and organizes these poor peasants to hold an uprising and resist, they will definitely join happily and become the vanguard of anti-exploitation and oppression.
At around 1 p.m. on May 6, 1908, the sun shone brightly and the sky was clear.
Outside a large sugar cane plantation in Tokaro Town, Sapachi, a mixed-race man from Indo-European race, hid in ambush in the mountains and forests behind the plantation, quietly waiting for the arrival of attack time.
"Captain, if we take this big sugarcane plantation, we can get a lot of money, food and other daily necessities again," said Sapachi's guard, Guevara, the Indian man, with great hope.
Sapachi glared at Guevara and taught in a deep voice: "You kid always think of something outside of your body. You must know that in this big plantation, there are hundreds of people of all ethnic groups who are oppressed and exploited by the evil owners of the great manors. Our peasant uprising army is here to rescue them."
Sapachi just turned 30 years old. He is kind and strong. He was originally a small landlord with a family of fertile land and a virtuous wife in western Chiapas. He lived a very happy and happy life.
However, there are unexpected changes in the sky, and people will suffer misfortunes and good fortunes at any time.
Sapachi's wife is as beautiful as a flower. When she goes out to stroll, she meets a lustful manor owner.
The owner of the manor is quite powerful. He colluded with the rural cavalry patrol team and not only snatched Sapachi's wife, but also sent someone to confiscate Sapachi's fertile fields. If Sapachi hadn't escaped with cleverness, he would not even have his life.
After Sapachi escaped, he was full of hatred, but he was weak and had no way to take revenge.
Because he was penniless and unwilling to be a bandit who robbed the house. Therefore, Sapachi could only go to a small farm to be a serf.
On the farm, Sapachi and many serfs got up early and went into the dark, worked hard day and night, but they were not rewarded as they deserved, and lived a life of two meals a day and not having enough food and clothing.
Poor Sapachi thought his life would be over, so he worked numbly every day, working numbly to make a living.
Until one night four months ago, Sapachi was about to go to bed and had a good relationship with him. Song Dehua, a Chinese serf who lived in a room, suddenly told him that someone was coming to rescue them and take them onto a bright road.
Sapachi scoffed at Song Dehua's words and lay down and just went to bed.
On the next day, Sapachi learned that that night, the farm's family and management staff had more than 20 people, all of whom were killed by a Chinese named Zhou Jian.
So, Sapachi finally found hope to survive and firmly joined the peasant uprising army established by Zhou Jian, a special forces soldier of the People's Liberation Army.
Among Zhou Jian's peasant uprising army, there were Chinese, Indian, Indian and mixed-race, Indo-European and black people. Among them, the most Indian and mixed-race were.
After joining the peasant uprising army, Sapachi obeyed orders and trained hard. He followed Song Dehua to learn Chinese speaking quickly and was able to take ruthless measures against the enemy.
Therefore, Sapachi and Song Dehua, who also had outstanding training results and combat results, naturally became one of the six captains of this rebel army.
At this time, with the help of Zhou Jian's peasant uprising army, Sapachi had already revenged his revenge and married another wife.
This time, when he learned that more than 3,000 serfs who were cruelly exploited and oppressed by Satoro, the owner of the Tokaro Town’s large manor, Zhou Jian led a peasant uprising army of more than 1,400 people to rescue him and quickly strengthen his team.
After arriving at Tokaro Town, Zhou Jian divided his peasant uprising army into 7 teams, led by himself and 6 small team leaders, and prepared to launch an attack at the same time on the five large sugarcane plantations under the owner of the large manor Satoro and the two camps of the rural cavalry team at 1:30 pm.
Soon, it was 1:30 pm. Zhou Jian, Song Dehua and Sapachi, and seven others who were scattered in Tokaro Town, issued an order to attack almost at the same time.
In an instant, killing sounds erupted around Tokaro Town.
The rural cavalry patrol team composed of guards and bandits and hooligans in the attacked large sugarcane plantation were no match for these peasant uprising troops who had fought everywhere.
At around 5 pm, the peasant uprising army basically eliminated the resistance inside and outside the town, and controlled the entire Tokaro Town and surrounding affiliated areas.
Satoro, the owner of the large manor who was hugging several women at home and enjoying the happiness of more than a dozen large farmers in the town who were doing their best to the people, were all viciously picked up by the peasant uprising army.
Law enforcement officers of the peasant uprising army held public trials on Satoro and the farmer in front of thousands of serfs and other people. Then, regardless of their request to cry for their parents, they immediately hanged them.
Immediately afterwards, the peasant uprising army looted Tokaro Town and wiped out all the gold, silver and wealth of all the interests, Zhou Jian ordered his men to start a massacre and massacre these poor interests.
After seeing the iron-blooded methods of the peasant uprising army led by Zhou Jian, the oppressed serfs were greatly relieved. Except for a few who were too docile and hopelessly serfs, most of them demanded to join the peasant uprising army.
This result is exactly what Zhou Jian thought.
Therefore, Zhou Jian recruited more than 1,200 relatively strong serfs in Tokaro Town, who were grateful to the peasant uprising army he led to enrich the peasant uprising army.
Due to the great increase in strength, Tokaro Town was completely in his own hands. Zhou Jianbao's General Staff Department was preparing to use Tokaro Town as a base and take more than 2,200 peasant uprising troops to carry out guerrilla warfare to support war to expand its territory.
The General Staff Department of the reorganized division received a telegram. After research, it called back to Zhou Jian, asking him not to care about the gains and losses of a city and a place, and to carry out the tactics of using war to support war while preserving his strength to expand his strength and influence.
