The arrogance started from Chinatown

Chapter 730: The Burning of Larut (Part )

The distance from Krian Port to Larut is 13 kilometers. Since tin ore and tin products are transported along the way, the road is quite good.

At nine o'clock in the evening, the group arrived near Larut.

"I'll ask someone to go check in the city. Let's go to Boss Zheng's manor first to rest!" said Lao Jiu.

The people from the security company had no objection either.

These people are the local bosses here, and this trip will mainly focus on them.

We are here to help.

Moreover, they were a little tired after walking such a long way, and they really should find a place to rest.

Lao Jiu then arranged for more than 20 people to go to the city to check out the situation, mainly to check out the Chinese community.

Others went to Zheng Jinggui's manor.

Just in the distance, I saw lights in the manor.

"Someone?"

"Go and see!"

The people from the security company climbed over the wall with submachine guns and saw no one on guard in the yard, so everyone's eyes started to turn cold.

"There is no alert, it is definitely not Chinese, it must be occupied by those indigenous people!" Lao Jiu whispered.

In this situation, if the Chinese were hiding here with lights on, it would be impossible that there was no one on guard outside.

Only indigenous people.

More than thirty people sneaked into the manor and heard laughter and women crying from outside.

Hearing this voice, many people's eyes immediately turned red.

"Will firing here alert the people in the city? Will it affect the people entering the city?" A member of the security company reached for his boots, where the dagger was.

"They knew it a long time ago. How many people ran away during the day?" another person asked.

"Go in and check the situation. If there are few people, use a knife. If there are many people, use a gun." said the team leader.

Then a group of people sneaked in, and the originally clean and luxurious manor was now littered with garbage.

All the valuables were gone, and even the precious wood decorating the walls had been stripped away.

The ground was littered with garbage and wine bottles. A few natives, drunk and holding wine bottles, suddenly saw a few more people around them. They were frightened and tried to grab the machetes not far away.

The people from the security company rushed over and stabbed the dagger directly into the neck or waist.

Several bottles were kicked aside with loud clatters.

The others immediately pointed their guns in all directions.

After a moment, a curse was heard in the distance, followed by the woman's crying.

The captain of the security company took a deep breath and gestured with his hand to signal the personnel to disperse and check each room one by one.

A moment later, a member of the security company opened a room and saw a woman tied to a bed and two natives beating her...

The security company member couldn't suppress his anger.

One of the two natives turned his head and took a look. His eyes suddenly widened, panic appeared on his face, and he opened his mouth to shout.

Da da da!
The security company member fired bullets directly from his gun, shooting the two men into pieces. He pulled a dagger from his boot, walked forward to cut the rope at the head of the bed, then turned around and walked out.

And along with this gunshot, gunshots were heard from other places.

After more than ten minutes, the manor was cleaned up.

This estate was occupied by a small group of indigenous people, totaling more than twenty people.

Seeing the Chinese rushing in, some people tried to fight back or beg for mercy, but the outcome was the same.

In addition, there were eight Chinese women who were abducted.

Some of them are no longer in good shape.

There were a few people who were able to ask questions, and after some questioning they found out what happened in the city that night.

That night, the natives rushed into the Chinese community, burning, killing and looting, and some Chinese organized to resist.

There were too many natives, and it was still dark, so I had no idea how many people there were, let alone what was happening.

There were also two voices within the Chinese community: some wanted to organize resistance, while others wanted to take advantage of the chaos to escape the city.

At that time, the natives' targets were mainly the wealthy businessmen and shops in the city, so they had no time to pay attention to them and waited until dawn.

The natives continued the massacre until dawn the next day... On the one hand, the massacre at night aroused their bestiality, and on the other hand, they were afraid of retaliation from the Chinese... so they organized themselves together to attack the Chinese community.

Not only did the natives have guns, they also set fire to the outskirts of the Chinese community and tried to kill more than 10,000 Chinese people.

Then there was chaos.

The Chinese tried to rush out of the city, some ran away, some were killed...

Even at this time, the British Council and British garrison in the city did not take any action.

When those women talked about these things, they were trembling all over...

"Those beasts!" Lao Jiu and everyone at Haishan Company cursed loudly.

"Stop cursing! Be quiet!" The captain of the security company suddenly interrupted everyone's cursing.

As the others quieted down a bit, they heard gunshots in the distance.

"It's in the city!" Lao Jiu's face changed.

"Those guys really have guns!" the security company man sneered.

"It's a pity that this place is too far from the seashore and our ships can't reach it, otherwise we could just bombard them with warships!"

Before they came, Chen Zhengwei had reminded them that these natives must have guns. According to the original plan of the British, they wanted to let these people fight with Chen Zhengwei's men and cause a large number of casualties to Chen Zhengwei.

Weapons will certainly be provided to them.

"I'll take some people to pick them up!" Lao Jiu said gritting his teeth.

"Wait a minute..." the security company captain suddenly spoke, and then kept walking back and forth.

He had no intention of going into town at night.

They were not familiar with the situation in the city at all, and it was night time, so if they went in they would just become targets.

"Can we lure them out? Those people are hiding in the city with guns. This is too troublesome. Find a way to lure them out... and then kill them..."

"They don't have too many guns. As long as we kill those with guns, the rest will be easy..."

Although he had not received much education, he had fought in two battles with Chen Zhengwei and even participated in the battle in Cuba, so he was sent out.

He knew how Chen Zhengwei dealt with the natives.

"Take your men to fight them, then retreat while fighting, and see if you can lure them out..."

"We are lying in ambush outside the city..."

After thinking about it, Lao Jiu felt that this idea was feasible.

"That's it!"

The group then went straight to the city, where they happened to meet the men that Lao Jiu had sent out before running out of the city.

The natives seemed to have won and cheered in the city, with no intention of chasing them out.

The plan was aborted before it was even implemented.

The security captain was so angry that he gritted his teeth and cursed. His idea just failed, which made him feel embarrassed.

At this time, a young man next to him came over and said, "Captain, I have an idea!"

"What idea?" The captain asked immediately when he saw the young man, who was the smartest among his men and often came up with good ideas.

"Hit the snake at its most vulnerable part. We have to make them feel pain, then they will chase us out!"

"Do you even need to say that? How can I make them feel pain?"

"Kill off a few of their important figures... I heard they are all religious... If we burn down their temples, they will definitely come after us!"

When the captain heard this idea, he immediately became interested and called Lao Jiu: "If we burn down their temple, will they come after us?"

"Of course! Burn down their temples and they will all go crazy!" Lao Jiu said immediately.

"Do you know where their temple is? Let's go and burn down their temple in the middle of the night..."

The group made up their minds and when they returned to the manor, the women had already returned to their rooms.

"It's been a while since he came out, but it's no wonder that he has encountered such a situation! I'll get some food for him later and call him out..."

Then some people heated up some dried meat and canned food they brought, preparing to call the women out. When they pushed the door open and looked inside, their faces changed.

I saw that several women who were in better condition had committed suicide... two of them hanged themselves... and one cut her neck with broken glass.

There was also a crazy woman who sat there without saying a word.

"Brother Jiu..." The Haishan Company thug who opened the door was in a depressed mood.

Others came over to take a look and sighed as well.

Then they opened another room and saw four women in the room. They looked like human beings, but they did not commit suicide.

These people didn't have the strength to commit suicide even if they wanted to, and their eyes were lifeless.

"Send her over as well, and let them go together..." the captain of the security company sighed.

"Bring them some food later..."

……

"I guessed where those people went!" Lao Jiu suddenly said while eating.

The people from the security company immediately looked over.

"From what they said, a lot of people ran away, and we didn't see any of them in Penang... If they didn't die in the wilderness, then they went to the mining area!"

"Including the Chinese in the mining area, there are at least tens of thousands..."

"Tens of thousands of people, what do they eat?" asked the captain of the security company.

"It's only been a week..." Lao Jiu said halfway and then fell silent.

Under the circumstances at that time, no one knew how much food they had.

"We'll act according to the plan tonight and fight them first. Tomorrow morning, we'll split into two teams. You take some people to the mining area, and we'll stay here!" said the captain of the security company.

Although there were only more than 300 of them, 200 of them were holding submachine guns. As long as they joined forces with the Chinese in the mining area, they could lead them out.

"Aren't you going together?" asked Lao Jiu.

"We have work to do... The boss wants to hang the British Resident here..."

"That guy deserves to die!" Lao Jiu gritted his teeth immediately, with deep hatred in his eyes.

After finishing their meal, the group took a short rest and then sat on the ground in their clothes to take a nap.

Lao Jiu's henchman pushed Lao Jiu and motioned him to look at the people from the security company, who seemed to be asleep.

"I can't sleep..." the thug whispered.

"That's what we do... Hurry up and get some sleep, or you won't have a chance to sleep when the time comes!" Lao Jiu said.

At two o'clock in the morning, all the people from the security company were called up, and after they got ready, they set off and quietly sneaked into Larut City in a different direction.
