The evil incident that happened in Chiang Mai was not an isolated incident. At the same time, such incidents happened frequently in ten provinces in northern Siam and were staged everywhere.
Incidents of this type all have several things in common. The victim must be British and the perpetrator must be a local Siamese. As for the promoters who played a key role in the incident, no one knows where they are from.
Suffering such a large-scale attack, the British responded very quickly. They immediately withdrew two Indian divisions from Burma and entered Siam. While protecting the British, they also tried to restore normal social order.
Two divisions, about 30,000 people, sounds like a lot, but when allocated to ten provinces in northern Siam, it is still a bit stretched.
The British also wanted to mobilize more people, but in the overall environment of shrinking military forces, the British did not have much troops to mobilize. Even with India's huge population base, it would not help.
To be honest, Indians are still very important in the process of British global colonization. Although the British national strength is strong, its population base is still not large enough. Indians just make up for the shortcomings of the British, acting as accomplices of the British and following the British.
Travel all over the world.
No wonder India is called the most dazzling jewel in the British crown.
The Indians who had just entered Siam still maintained the arrogance they had when they were stationed in Burma. Even if they were dogs, they had to be stylish dogs.
The situation in Siam was still different from that in Myanmar. Soon, those Indians fully realized the specific differences.
In Chiang Mai Prefecture, the governor has voluntarily resigned after the arrival of the British. What controls Chiang Mai now is a temporary order committee. After the British and Lanfang France agree on the distribution method for Siam, the British will be officially stationed.
officials.
This temporary order committee was naturally composed of a group of pro-British Siamese people. Before the Chinese left, this group of people was economically suppressed by the Chinese and basically had no future. The Chinese moved away from Chiang Mai as a whole.
, this group of people finally found an opportunity to come forward, so they carried out the British orders without any compromise.
Against this background, after a regiment from Myanmar entered Chiang Mai Prefecture, they lived in the Chiang Mai military camp in a grand manner.
Chiang Mai is the largest province in northern Siam, and it is also the political and economic center of northern Siam. There are more than 2,000 people in a regiment, plus the troops directly under the division headquarters.
There were more than 5,000 Indians, and the whole city of Chiang Mai was suddenly filled with Indians wearing turbans. At first glance, the people who didn’t know the truth thought they were in Madrid, which was wrong, and New Delhi was wrong. New Delhi was under construction, and ten buildings had already been built.
It will take another ten years to complete, and now the capital of India is Delhi.
There are so many Indians in Chiang Mai, and Chiang Mai people have to provide food, drink, diarrhea and sleep. Coupled with the weird hygiene habits of Indians, it is more appropriate for the city of Chiang Mai to be renamed Shou Mai.
However, people in Chiang Mai now have no scruples about complaining about the hygiene habits of Indians. They want to meet all the requirements of Indians and provide the most complete logistical services possible for these Indian soldiers, including food, clothes, fruits, and women.
It’s easy to talk about food, clothes, and so on. The Indians don’t come here naked. They won’t be able to share it for a while and they will die. Life is really difficult without women. You know, in Myanmar, there is an official brothel next to the Indian military camp.
, the kind that provides regular physical examinations, and the service facilities can be said to be complete. Now that they have arrived in Chiang Mai, those Indians naturally want to taste the wild flowers.
Therefore, there are really a lot of Indians wandering around the entire city of Chiang Mai. These Indians have just received two months of military pay before going out, and it is not the rupee with little purchasing power, but the pound with strong purchasing power. This makes the Indians
Extremely popular.
Under the amiable surface, it was not all gentleness. On the day of entering Chiang Mai, during the roll call in the evening, a British officer from the Indian garrison called the roll call and was shocked to find that someone had stayed up all night.
The Indians had just arrived in Chiang Mai, and even if they were new, they would not be bothered to stay up all night, so the military commanders of each battalion and company reported the reports one after another. Finally, the total number of people staying up at night exceeded a hundred.
This is definitely not an isolated incident.
The Supreme Commander of the Indian Army, Sir Laurent Milne, immediately realized that Chiang Mai was a hostile city to the Indians, so starting from that night, Chiang Mai began martial law, and a large number of soldiers moved overnight to carry out a carpet attack on Chiang Mai.
A search was conducted to find the missing soldiers.
Without much effort, the bodies of the missing soldiers were discovered one after another in every corner of Chiang Mai. Regardless of whether these soldiers were armed or not, they were now stripped naked, including their clothes, shoes and even the gold teeth in their mouths.
They did not let go, and traces of torture before death were found on many corpses. This is really intolerable.
After pulling all the corpses back to the military camp, Sir Lauren Milne looked at the 120 corpses and said with a gloomy face to Wangchai Chiangmai, the chairman of the interim committee: Find those people, otherwise I will arrest them directly from Chiangmai.
Kill all 1,200 people as a burial for my soldiers
Sir Laurent Milne had reason to be angry. On the first day he arrived in Chiang Mai, he lost an entire company without any fighting. This is really unacceptable. A more serious hidden danger is that these soldiers were all injured when they left the military camp.
They carry weapons with them, and they basically carry the latest issued Lee-Enfield rifles. If these rifles fall into the hands of those who are hostile to the British, one can imagine the serious consequences that will result.
Wangchai Chiangmai is a standard Siamese aristocrat, and only aristocrats can add the name of a city to their names. However, this aristocratic status will not play any role when facing the British. If Indians are interested in the British
To humans, they are one dog, and those Siamese people who took refuge with the British are another one. Even purebred dogs with a nobler bloodline are still just dogs after all.
In response to Sir Lauren Milne's anger, Wangchai Chiangmai did not dare to neglect, so the hooligans and prisoners in the prison in Chiangmai were unlucky. Even if their crimes did not lead to death, they were used as props to appease the British anger.
Leave it to the British, and after executing more than 300 criminals in one go, Sir Lauren Milne's anger finally subsided temporarily.
After the show of force on the first day, the Indians learned a profound lesson. From then on, the Indians no longer dared to sneak out of the military camp in two or three people. Unless it was a large-scale operation, the Indians would hide in the military camp and feel at ease.
ANIMAL CROSSING.
Facts have proved that the safety of large force operations cannot be guaranteed.
Three days later, Sir Lauren Milne once again received bad news. An Indian army unit was attacked by unknown persons on the outskirts of Chiang Mai. This time it was a fully-equipped company in the process of carrying out a mission.
, not completely defenseless, but the result was no different, the company was also completely wiped out.
As good fortune never comes singly, misfortune never comes alone. Just after the Indian army company was attacked, an even more shocking news came out. A Siamese named Puchana organized a unit called the Chiang Mai Free Army to openly resist British rule.
