Chapter 20 Blood Day
The creation of the gods 36175, the summer of 1570, July 23.
In a tavern in Nocan City, Adams Province in the north.
"This is simply violent and a heinous sin!" A nobleman said in the tavern.
"This is a cruel exploitation of our hard work!" Another man took a sip of wine and said.
"If I see these greedy sticks, I will beat them to death." A strong slave owner roared.
"If it goes on like this, we will have no way to live! Adams is no longer a merchant's paradise, is he?" A businessman complained loudly.
"Let's go to Sir Claude, who is Adams' biggest businessman and ask him to make the decision for us!" Several angry businessmen left drunk, and a priest in the corner who was so scared and sweated quickly got up, paid for the wine, ran out of the pub, and fled to the religious center.
He had to be afraid. Just yesterday, when a divine disciple called on people to donate money on the street, he was severely beaten by angry merchants and slave owners. Due to the extreme chaos at that time, the city guard did not catch the person when it arrived. This matter was over. After all, the double fee for entering the city was still being charged. Pastor Tukas was busy building his merit church, so the matter was ignored.
The gods rolled and crawled back to the religious house and met the priest Tukas: "Your excellency, it's not good, it's not good. Those infidels want a coup, and they are going to rebel." In order not to be afraid when going out in the future, the god said jealously, "Those damn profiteers and slave traders are ganging up in the bar to oppose you, Lord Tukas."
Pastor Tukas, who was looking at the drawings of the new church, suddenly became in a bad mood. Clouds covered his face, pulled the collar of the gods and roared, "What are you talking about? Make it clear to me!"
"Your Excellency, I just drank in the pub and heard several bold rebels say so." The apostles began to report what they had seen and heard, and added fuel and vinegar.
"These profiteers, why do they pay for so much money!" Tukas smashed the cup in his hand and got up to the god and said, "Can you still remember the appearance of those people?"
Of course, the god didn't remember the appearance of these people, because he didn't dare to look at it at that time, but it was obviously not the time to tell the truth, so he nodded repeatedly: "I remember, I remember."
So with this timid god, Tukas found the head of Kruse again. Under the persuasion of the two clergy, Kruse immediately gathered 1,000 people and led the team to Nokan City.
The divine disciple was interrogated along the way, and the divine disciple talked nonsense along the way. The people he caught included almost all the well-known merchants and slave owners in Nokan City, and even several famous local old nobles.
Tukas knew that these people were all local famous people, and killing them rashly may cause riots, but none of them supported their plan to build a new church. It's better to take the opportunity to kill them and confiscate their property. Pastor Shelt has not given benefits, which is also a large expense.
Thinking of this, Tukas said to Cruze beside him, "These profiteers can only speculatively, and now it is not too much to blasify the gods, beat the clergy, and kill them all."
In this way, the army soon came to Nokan City. The city guard was immediately scared when they saw such a regular army. When they saw Pastor Tukas, they were relieved and then released the city. Soon, an army of 1,000 people drove into the city.
"Roy, take people to block the gate!" Docker, take your people to take over the city guard and watch them!" Peter, you take your people to protect this god, and go to the homes of sinners to recognize people. Arrest all those who blasphem the gods. Kruzer commanded his soldiers and began to assign tasks.
Norkan City said it was not big or small. Hundreds of soldiers captured the rebels in the city and made trouble all afternoon. It was not until dinner in the evening that the people identified by the gods and disciples were arrested, and a total of 112 people were arrested.
Most of these people are merchants, slave owners, and several rebellious bodyguards. Most of them look angrily at Tukas, who is domping in the middle of the square, and the big man Kruze with a big waist.
"You two lawless guys, do you know who you are arrested today? Let me tell you that this is not over!" A shiny slave owner who was tied up in clothes roared loudly.
"We have sent someone to the Holy City to prove your violence. Wait to die!" Another old man shouted.
Tukas twisted his face, stared at these businessmen, and said loudly, "I used to want to get along with you, but you didn't want to. I just want you to take out some money. You all refused. Now, you all die."
Under Kruse's order, the executioners began to torture. Those businessmen began to be beheaded by ten groups and ten groups. Some people begged for mercy, but no one paid attention to them; some people cursed and were cut off one by one and lost their voices.
Ten minutes later, there was no sound in the square,
The whole square was stained red with blood, and more than 100 bodies were piled up there, attracting countless flies. Occasionally, the feet of a corpse convulsed, making timid people vomit.
"Pastor Tukas, the army needs money to go out with such a lot of fanfare. I don't know if it is possible to properly copy a few merchants' homes to make up for the loss of the army?" Kruse said.
In addition to the soldiers guarding the gate, hundreds of soldiers heard that the regimental commander wanted to rob * rob, and their emotions were high. They knocked on their weapons and roared, making the poor people around them shudder.
"Of course, you should be compensated for God's most faithful servant." Tukas has achieved his goal. In Tukas's view, such a smooth human favor is not to do anything.
In this way, that night, several dead owners' houses were robbed and robbed. The soldiers howled and rushed into the courtyard. The women inside were humiliated, the men were killed, and a few were taken away and detained by the city guards. The poor people around the houses of several merchants who had the accident were also affected and made a lot of noise all night.
According to later statistics, at least 300 people were killed, more than 50 women were insulted, and more than 50,000 gold coins were robbed.
Subsequently, with the example of Nocan City, the clergy in other small towns also began to levy and restrain, with taxes as much as cattle, and new tricks, and merchants throughout Adams Province complained bitterly. Some foreign businessmen moved away from Adams, but most of the local businessmen are based in Adams and can't leave. They can only hope that the bad luck will end as soon as possible.
This day was called the Adams tragedy by later generations, also known as the Nocan City tragedy, and the locals called it a bloody day.
Does the bloody sunset represent the beginning of blood?
