Volume 1 Tigers in Southeast Asia Chapter 93: Annihilation of the Church
Lin Fei saw a row of big trees at the entrance of the village. On each of the big trees was a long object, swaying in the wind. Lin Fei thought to himself, what is hanging on the tree? It looks very strange. Just as Lin Fei was about to raise his telescope to see what was going on, he suddenly heard the old farmer Zhang Wu scream.
Lin Fei looked back and saw that the old farmer Zhang Wu's face changed drastically. He was full of fear and pointed in the direction of the big tree. He opened his mouth and couldn't speak. Lin Fei asked hurriedly: "What are those things hanging on the big trees?"
The old farmer Zhang Wu was completely frightened and did not react when he heard Lin Fei's words. Lin Fei stopped asking him and raised the telescope to look at the big tree in the distance. He found that there were actually dead people hanging on the tree. There were ropes around the dead people's necks and their bodies swaying in the wind.
Lin Fei hurriedly asked the old farmer Zhang Wu: "What's going on with the dead man in the tree? Do you know anything?"
The old farmer Zhang Wu finally understood and said in a trembling voice: "The bishop said that anyone who fails to pay the grain rent to God on time will be hanged on the big tree at the entrance of the village. This must be another family that couldn't pay the rent and was hanged by the bishop."
Lin Fei gritted his teeth and thought to himself, this bishop dared to bully the Chinese like this, let me see how I will deal with you! While thinking, Lin Fei said, "Notify them to speed up the march."
The bugler beside Lin Fei immediately picked up the bugle and blew the order of "run forward". The soldiers immediately ran. Lin Fei and the sniper team's horses were fast, and they arrived under the tree ahead of everyone else in a few minutes. Lin Fei looked up and saw the corpse hanging on the tree, and his heart felt like it was stabbed by someone!
There were a total of ten bodies on the tree, including men and women, old and young. Four of them were children. The youngest one was thin and looked no more than ten years old!
Lin Fei suppressed his anger and said to Zhang Chuang, "Send two people to untie the ropes and lower the bodies of our compatriots first."
Zhang Chuang turned around and called two soldiers. The two soldiers jumped up the tree and were about to untie the rope when they heard a stiff voice in Chinese coming from the house at the entrance of the village: "Huazhu, what are you doing?"
Lin Fei looked in the direction of the voice and saw a Spaniard with his chest exposed and a face full of flesh coming over. He was holding a wooden stick in his hand. The Spaniard walked in front of Lin Fei's horse, pointed the stick at Lin Fei, and sneered, "Without the order of the bishop, who dares to touch the corpses of these Chinese pigs? Whoever dares to touch them will be hanged!"
Lin Fei glanced at the Spaniard and ignored him. He looked up and said to the two soldiers, "Put down the bodies of our compatriots."
The Spaniard laughed when he heard this and said, "This is the first time I've met a disobedient Chinese pig. I'll beat you to death!"
After saying this, the Spaniard swung the wooden stick and hit Lin Fei. Lin Fei swung the whip and hit the back of the Spaniard's hand. The Spaniard screamed in pain and the wooden stick fell to the ground with a clang.
The Spaniard had never seen a Chinese who dared to resist, and was stunned. He nodded and sneered: "You dare to hit me? You are really tired of living. Come on, come on!"
The Spaniard turned around and screamed like a pig being slaughtered. Soon, more than 20 Spanish strong men jumped out of the house, each holding a machete or a wooden stick in their hands. The leader was a strong man with a bare upper body. The chest of the strong man was covered with black hair and he looked extremely fierce.
The Spaniard whose stick was knocked down by Lin Fei ran to the leader, pointed at Lin Fei and said, "He wanted to put the body down, but I didn't let him, so he hit me."
While the Spaniard who was beaten by Lin Fei was complaining to the leading strong man, two soldiers had already untied the body and laid it flat on the ground. The leading strong man was furious when he saw that Lin Fei had only six people, and he immediately looked down on them. He waved his hand, and everyone rushed forward and surrounded Lin Fei and others.
Lin Fei thought that it would only take a minute to wipe out these twenty people with guns, but this might scare Bishop Dado away, so it would be better not to shoot first and let this guy lure Bishop Dado out. Lin Fei then used his eyes to stop the people who wanted to take the guns, and everyone understood and did not take the guns hidden on the horses.
The leading strong man said viciously: "Six Chinese pigs dare to compete with so many Spanish warriors like us?"
Lin Fei sneered: "Who said there are only six of us?"
The leading burly man pointed at Lin Fei and said with a smile: "Aren't there only six of you? Did I count wrong?"
Lin Fei smiled and pointed to the distance, saying, "Look what that is?"
The leading sturdy man looked in the direction of Lin Fei's finger, and saw a cloud of dust rising in the distance. The sound of orderly footsteps came, and a group of people ran over from the smoke. Although he couldn't see the exact number clearly, he realized that the number of people in this group was far more than his own.
Lin Fei pointed at the group of people and said, "They are my people. What do you think? Do you want to compare numbers again?"
The leading sturdy man smiled disdainfully and said, "Isn't it just a comparison of numbers? Just wait, I'll go back and call for help!"
Lin Fei pointed his finger into the distance and said with a smile: "Your lair should be over there, right? Your accomplices should be there too, go find them, I'll wait for you here, you'd better get all your accomplices here, you Spaniards are weaklings to begin with, if you don't have the advantage in numbers, you'll be beaten badly by us."
When the leading strong man heard Lin Fei's insult, he couldn't help but curse: "What a Chinese pig, you are really looking for death! Just wait for me."
The leading strong man waved his hand at everyone and said loudly: "Let's go!"
As soon as the Spaniards left, Lin Fei's men came running over and said to him, "Your Majesty, are we just going to let them go?"
Lin Fei smiled and said, "I have a plan, so you don't have to worry too much."
The leading strong man brought his men back to the church. Bishop Dado was pretending to pray in the church, but he was actually excuses.
The leading strong man pushed open the door of the church and shouted: "Bishop, it's bad!"
Bishop Dado frowned and said coldly, "What's the matter? Is it necessary to be so panicked?"
The leading strong man said: "The Chinese pigs are rebelling!"
Bishop Dado smiled disdainfully and said, "The Chinese pigs dare to rebel? This is new! What on earth did they do?"
The leading strong man said: "They took down the body of Huazhu, who was sentenced to death by you, from the tree, and also injured our people!"
Bishop Dado's eyes became serious, and a murderous look covered his face. He said coldly: "If that's the case, you can take your men to kill the rebellious Chinese pigs, and come back to tell me why?"
The leading strong man said, "They have more people, and I only have more than 20 men. I am worried that we are no match for them, so I came back to find you. You should take the guards with you."
Bishop Dado exclaimed in surprise and asked, "How many of them are there?"
The leading strong man said: "There are at least a hundred people!"
Bishop Dado thought for a moment and said, "One hundred people? It seems that the Chinese pigs are determined to resist the Spanish Empire. Let me lead the guard team and we must eradicate them completely."
Bishop Dado came out of the church after he finished speaking, summoned the guards, and walked towards the entrance of the village. It was not long before he arrived at the entrance of the village. Bishop Dado saw from afar a row of dead bodies hanging on a big tree at the entrance of the village. He could not help but said to the leading strong man, "Didn't you say that the Chinese pigs had taken down all the bodies? Why are there still bodies on the tree?"
The leading strong man was also confused and said, "I don't know what's going on. Why did the Chinese pigs hang the corpse up again?"
As they were talking, they came under the tree. When they looked up, they found that the bodies were all Spanish. It turned out that Lin Fei killed the nearby Spaniards and hung them on the tree. Bishop Dado was so angry that he screamed and shouted, "Damn Chinese pigs, how dare you kill people from our Spanish Empire? Where are they? I must kill them and feed them to the dogs!"
Everyone looked around but could not find any trace of Lin Fei and his group. Bishop Dado turned around and asked, "Where are they? Why are they gone ?"
The leading sturdy man shook his head and said, "I don't know either. They should all be here. How come they are gone?"
Bishop Dado thought for a moment and said, "No need to look for them. The Chinese pigs are cowardly by nature and can only be slaves, not warriors. That's why they all ran away. Let's go back too."
Before Bishop Dado finished his words, a group of people suddenly jumped out of a house at the entrance of the village. They formed a crescent shape and surrounded Bishop Dado and the strong man in the center. Each of them held a gun in his hand, with the black muzzle pointed at everyone.
Bishop Dado was shocked to see this scene and complained to the leading strong man: "How come they have guns? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
The leading burly man said in surprise: "I didn't see them with guns just now!"
At this moment, a handsome young man walked over from behind the crowd. He walked in front of Bishop Dado and said with a leisurely smile, "You are Bishop Dado, right? My name is Lin Fei, nice to meet you."
It turned out that when Lin Fei saw the leading strong man going back to find people, he asked his men to ambush in the house at the entrance of the village. The Spaniards in the house were all Bishop Dado's accomplices. Lin Fei was not polite to them and directly ordered people to hang them alive on the tree. When Bishop Dado came with everyone, Lin Fei gave an order and asked his subordinates to rush out and surround Bishop Dado.
Bishop Dado looked at Lin Fei for a while and asked, "Who are you?"
Lin Fei smiled and said, "I am the emperor of the Huaxia Empire."
Dado asked in astonishment: "The Huaxia Empire? What is that?"
Lin Fei smiled and said, "Something that replaces the Spanish ruling the Philippines! I can tell you that the Spaniards in Butuan City have been wiped out by me, and it will be your turn next."
