The sound of artillery bombarding the stronghold, the sound of the defenders firing inside the stronghold, the roars of the black uncles, and the screams of the white men. Maputo was not a large city, and the number of cannons in the army was large enough. It was the first time in Africa that the black troops had crushed the white men with superior weapons.
As a representative of the company, Zhong Sheng certainly had to appear at this critical moment. When the black troops brought the white men who were still alive out of the city from the broken blockhouses or walled houses, Zhong Sheng was coming from the concentration camp outside the city. According to the plan that had been made two months ago, the Portuguese in Mozambique would be transported to a concentration camp in the northern interior of Tanzania County for management. The concentration camp at the port was just a temporary transition.
The black uncles carried the wounded and escorted the white men who were not injured through the streets. Zhong Sheng saw despair on the faces of the white men who had given up resisting. Zhong Cheng couldn't help but sneer at this kind of despair. You reap what you sow. Whoever sows hatred will suffer. These Portuguese colonists probably never treated black people as human beings. When their lives were in the hands of black people, these people could only think of hell. These hells were undoubtedly created by the Portuguese themselves. Zhong Sheng did not make the Portuguese feel relieved at all.
At noon that day, the first batch of captured white men were registered and sent to the ship. It was a transport ship temporarily converted from an old freighter in Madagascar. All the cabin doors were welded iron bars. Before the white men were sent to the cabin, they had to write their names and genders on a sign outside. As the iron door was closed and locked. The white men's first thought was that they had boarded a slave ship and were going to be sold. Many of them were so scared that they could not breathe, and some women were already crying.
The black soldiers patrolling back and forth in the corridor with rifles on their backs patrolled back and forth. When they passed by the room, they only looked at the people in the cabin with some curious expressions. The white men on the ship had been on tenterhooks for two days. Their tears dried up and their spirits were dispirited. When they were taken out of the cabin, they probably could not tell north from south. This was Mombasa. The train at the Mombasa station was ready to leave to the west after loading the white men. At last the train discharged the band of white men at Arusha. This was the westernmost end of the railway built by the Min dynasty in Tanzania in recent years. Although the Min dynasty had the idea of building a railway network, it could only be done step by step. Building part of the east-to-west railway line had strained the administrative regions of East Africa.
The head of the East African administrative region, Wang Mingshan, received the news when the Portuguese arrived in Arusha. He sent a telegram to Zhong Sheng in Khartoum, telling him to work hard. Across the province of Madagascar was Mozambique, and the fact that this place had fallen into the hands of the Portuguese made the Navy take it to heart for a long time. Now that the Marines got what they wanted, Wang Mingshan also felt that he could explain it to the country.
"Secretary Wang, Mahdi's men seem to have gone north. They've sent people here again, "the secretary said to Wang Mingshan.
Wang Mingshan's title was provincial governor, but none of the previous governors and provincial governors dared to use this title. The people around him also did not have anything better to do than to call him a traitor. Everyone still used the traditional title of "secretary."
"Is the news that they are going north confirmed?" Wang Mingshan immediately asked the key question.
"Indeed, they are heading north." The secretary informed Wang Mingshan of the known news.
"Let the air force take a look." Wang Mingshan ordered without hesitation.
"Secretary Wang, why are you so worried about Mahdi?" The secretary was really puzzled. China had been in Africa for more than ten years, and now gradually had more and more contact with the Arabs and black people, but Wang Mingshan showed a deep-rooted defense against the Arabs, which was really strange.
"You can tell when a black person is lying, right?" Wang Mingshan asked the secretary.
The secretary was stunned at first, and then couldn't help but laugh. Indeed, the biggest characteristic of the East African black people's lies was that it sounded like a lie, and the purpose of lying was also very clear. They just didn't want to work. Although it was infuriating, it was not that bad.
"Can you tell when an Arab is lying?" Wang Mingshan continued to ask the secretary.
This time, the secretary couldn't laugh anymore. The Arab culture was much more advanced than the black people. Although they were more usable than the black people, their credibility was indeed worse than the black people.
"It's always right to be careful when dealing with them," Wang Mingshan answered.
"Then, do you still want to see them?" The secretary asked.
"Of course, I want to see them," Wang Mingshan said straightforwardly.
More than an hour later, Mahdi's representative appeared in front of Wang Mingshan. It was a strong Arab man, and when he saw Wang Mingshan, he came up to greet him. After both parties sat down, the man said straightforwardly, "Sir, may the glory of Allah shine on you. I wonder if you can agree to our preaching rights. "
"I said it last time, it's impossible. I will allow you to preach in the three counties in the north. If there are your believers outside the three counties, you can move their families to your territory. As for preaching in other areas, don't even think about it, "Wang Mingshan also answered straightforwardly.
After hearing this, the strong man's eyes couldn't help but widen. "Sir, this is different from what you said before."
Wang Mingshan wasn't moved at all. He said with a cold smile, "What I said has never changed. As for what you said before, it's probably the request you made in the past."
Seeing that Wang Mingshan wasn't fooled, the man lowered his head slightly as if he was recalling something. After more than ten seconds, he raised his head again. "Sir, we did say that we wanted to fully preach in Sudan, but I remember that you agreed to our request. We worship you as our leader, and you allowed us to preach. "
Even though the man's expression was so sincere that the secretary almost believed it. However, Wang Mingshan had only met Mahdi's people a few times during the past few days. The secretary was also present. The secretary clearly remembered that Wang Mingshan had never agreed to such a request from Mahdi.
After the memory of reality finally overwhelmed that expression, the secretary couldn't help but be furious. It was too much to lie to this extent. He then said angrily, "If you don't want to remember it clearly, then forget it. Are you tired of living by coming here to swindle us?"
"Sir, please don't be angry." The strong man immediately put on a sincere look on his face and said, "If you don't agree, then don't agree. Why are you so angry? "
After Mahdi's people left, the secretary said angrily, "I didn't expect these people to be such untrustworthy people."
"Untrustworthy? Haha. "Wang Mingshan laughed.
"Secretary, what are you laughing at?" The secretary was puzzled.
Wang Mingshan laughed and said, "It's not that they're untrustworthy, they're very trustworthy. But to people like us in the secular regime, they absolutely cannot be trusted. "
Without waiting for the secretary to say anything, Wang Mingshan let everyone go to work first. In Africa, where China's morality and China's way of life didn't have an overwhelming advantage, everything depended on strength. The accumulation of strength relied on a lot of work and preparation. This principle would eventually be felt by everyone in life and work, but any mistake would lead to losses. The loss of resources could be made up through labor, but if there was a loss of personnel, it would be a situation where the dead could not be revived. Wang Mingshan didn't want to see this happen.
Of course, there were some things that Wang Mingshan was very clear about. The secular government couldn't trust the Green Scriptures. It wasn't because they weren't loyal, but because they were very loyal to the Green Sect. Those who believed in the Green Sect were definitely traitors of the secular government. The Green Scriptures detailed the establishment of the Green Sect's regime in the desert area, and at the same time, how to deceive and conceal the survival of other regimes in non-desert areas, and finally how to destroy the secular government.
The problem with the Green Sect was that they didn't have an ultimate model, so they couldn't establish a stable and sustainable regime. Of course, this wasn't just a problem with the Green Sect, the three Semitic cults all had this problem. Europe was able to develop because secular forces had finally driven the church back into the realm of religion. The problem with the Green Sect was that the Green Scriptures described the model of the integration of church and state, and provided a viable way of life. If they wanted to get rid of this way of life, they had to completely destroy the Green Scriptures. However, without the Green Scriptures, would they still be the Green Sect?
Wang Mingshan was very clear about this because the Military Governor Of Vaize was very clear about this. The Central Party School was commissioned by the Military Governor Of Vaize to compile the relevant curriculum. After the study and discussion within the Restoration Party, they all agreed that Green Sect's expansion couldn't be accepted. Wang Mingshan remembered his speech. "It's not that we have ill intentions towards them, it's a battle between two ways of life. We, the pioneers, have no reason to bow and scrape to the laggards. "
Since he knew from the beginning that Green Sect was untrustworthy, Wang Mingshan had no intention of cooperating with 'Mahdi' at all. Since the apocalyptic hero, Mr. Mahdi, had plans to expand to the north, of course, Wang Mingshan was happy to see it happen. That was why Wang Mingshan gave Mr. Mahdi a stern warning.
The Green Scriptures had a more specific description of such a situation. When the Kaffirs showed a gentle attitude, the Green Sect believers would use a forceful approach to extract as many benefits as possible. When the Kaffirs were slaughtering the Green Sect believers with their butcher's knife, the Green Sect believers could use all kinds of temporary obedience and lies to protect themselves. It didn't matter even if he publicly said some words that deceived his master, destroyed his ancestors, and denied Allah. As long as Allah was in their hearts, lying to the Kaffirs was a feat in Allah's eyes.
