Chapter 94 Bloodshed
June of the Republic of China.
The Foreign Translation Bookstore of the Nanyang Public School Preparatory Committee translated Galileo's "On Sunspots", and Edinburgh on the other side of the distant earth published "The Magical Law of Logarithm" and "Astronomical Logarithm Table". Human beings took a big step in the most macroscopic astronomy and updated the tools for killing for future wars. Finding logarithm tables will soon become a compulsory course for artillery officers.
On the microscopic level, atomic and molecular doctrines have become compulsory courses in Nanyang Public School. Microscopic doctrines combined with electricity and astronomy have gradually become deeply rooted in people's hearts, and humans have begun to try to find all the secrets hidden between the smallest and the largest world.
Human beings, between the macro and the micro, are also moving forward slowly and tortuously, trying to overthrow those inequality that was once taken for granted and prepare for blood and sacrifice for the struggle for equality that is taken for granted.
When June was officially the hottest, this year was particularly hot, coupled with the passionate heat on the streets and alleys, the young people guarding the door of the Second Council were sweating.
The issue of tax reform and franchise redemption competition is being discussed in it, which is a major event that concerns the lives of the vast majority of people in the city and the interests of some bourgeoisie.
However, it is not a formal meeting, it is just an informal discussion. Not many people attended, but everyone was enthusiastic. From the perspective of morality, justice, and "economics" that are considered scientific, we should argue the rationality of these policies.
The Mo Party has set out outside of Mincheng, and another group of immigrants who have gone to Dahuang City have also left in the previous non-storm season. A large number of people have already started to go to counties around Mincheng without waiting for the council's permission to prepare in advance for the next step of work.
Today's meeting was strange. Most of the people who came were young or radical democrats. The remaining part did not come today. Anyway, this was not a formal meeting.
Young men guarding at the door of the council were chatting, they were members of the new policing team formed after the uprising last year.
"Have you heard of it? The council execution bailiff is about to be established, and the requirements are very high. It must be graduated from the Nautical and Surveying School."
"Then there won't be too many people, right?"
"Yes, Nanyang Public School will also expand the enrollment of the discipline of nautical surveying and mapping. In fact, everyone here can be a subordinate officer. They often play with guns, and surveying and mapping have the opportunity to use cannons. However, after they become bailiffs, they can only be ordinary soldiers, but their treatment is very high."
"Well, I heard that, I have a lot of plans. Next year, plus the previous years, except for the Mo Party, the remaining ones will be three or five hundred. But if something really happens, such as someone who wants to split or subvert the Republic, these people can change from soldiers to subordinate officers at any time."
While speaking, several people walked past the street opposite. The young man guarding the door didn't take it seriously, but just waved at the people opposite and told them not to cross the white line.
During the meeting of the board of directors, no one shall possess weapons according to the contents of the approved attachments.
Normally, as a power organ, it is still very safe.
But today is not normal. After those people approached, they suddenly took out a short knife and an axe from their arms and chopped them up to the heads of several young men guarding at the door.
Several young people who were still discussing the future just now had time to shout a few times and fell into a pool of blood.
More than a hundred people rushed over the street entrance, holding machetes and muskets in their hands, rushed to the door of the council, smashed the glass window, and pointed the muzzle inside.
More than a hundred people who were discussing the redemption of the franchise were at a loss because of the sudden situation. The two walked to the door to question what the other party was doing. They were immediately knocked to the ground by several people at the door and dragged aside.
More than thirty people held guns and pointed at more than a hundred people inside, and snorted: "Dear people who want to participate in politics, sign this."
The person who led the lead took out a piece of paper, and the title on it was "The Second Council violated tradition, was a rebellious act and had the intention of splitting the Republic."
You don’t need to read the content to know what it is saying. The few people standing in front looked at the two people who were knocked to the ground after going to argue before, frowned and said, “Who are you?”
"Who are we from Fujian County? Don't you say that real Chinese people participate in politics? Are we not from China? Your behavior is already a rebellion. Sign this confession quickly, hurry up!"
At this time, footsteps and gunfire came from outside, and more than fifty people rushed in, staring at these people with machetes in their hands, with blood on the knife.
When the stalemate was in a state of stalemate, a shocking explosion came, and the shocking glass buzzed, and the sound seemed to be the location of the gunpowder depot in the distance.
More and more people are pouring in outside, and these young representatives who are discussing the issue of redemption franchise are forced into the corner.
The man who led the lead picked up a machete that was still dripping blood from the side, took the confession book and walked forward, stared at a representative and asked, "Will you sign?"
These delegates are very clear that once they sign, all their previous efforts will be gone. It is not violence, but because these people sign, which means that they violate the basis of the Second Council. Since the members of the Council have signed the confession, it will be meaningless whether they are dissolved or not, and the authority of the Second Council will be completely lost.
The sounds outside became more and more chaotic, and no one knew what happened. The representatives did not experience many murder scenes. In panic and anger, they finally understood that their words and principles sometimes really couldn't talk about swords and guns.
The man in charge held the machete and reached out to grab a young council member's neck, reached out to pat his face twice, and said, "You are embarrassed to sign? I'm sorry to sign in front of so many people? It doesn't matter, let's sign in private."
After saying that, he was about to pull the young man who was a little panicked away. More than a dozen people carrying axes and machetes also caught several people and lifted them out.
None of these council members had weapons on them, including some of the council members of the Mexican Party who had truly had military training.
No knife, no axe, no gun.
But it doesn't mean there is really nothing, it doesn't mean there is no other more powerful weapon.
Seeing that those who had never experienced such things were about to be separated, the voice of a very ordinary representative of the Mo Party's party suddenly sounded in front of the crowd.
"Representatives elected by the Chinese people! Please stick to your promises when you were elected, and respect the trust and power that the Chinese people have given us! Death and intimidation cannot scare us! We have not betrayed the Republic! Long live the spirit of the Republic!"
The panicked crowd suddenly heard such an excited and excited sentence, and his originally panicked mood calmed down and stretched out his hand to push the hands that wanted to lift people away.
During the push, there was another sing from behind, a war song that was circulated within the Mo Party and the melody made people rush to blood.
"Look at the rising sun of truth in the East. The sun shines above the Republic. We must fight for happiness for the people. How can we be afraid of shedding blood and throwing our heads? From now on, we will see the light again on the earth. Participate in political republic! Participate in political republic! Make our voices and fight for our rights! People in nationals, hold hands, shoulder-to-shoulder, heart-to-heart. Stand up, people in nationals! Stand up, people in nationals! Participate in political republic! Participate in political republic! Make our voices and fight for our rights..."
The song is only sung internally, but with the council movement that began last year, this song that is very consistent with the traditional spirit and has no class hatred quickly spread throughout Fujian.
The passionate tune dispelled the bloody smell on the machete and also made the passionate blood in these people's hearts burn. The naked-handed Mo Party members rushed to the front and fought with those who were holding machete and axe muskets.
The person who led the lead was chopped by an axe, covered in blood, and shouted in the last voice: "It's better to die!"
The cry before death was not exchanged for crying and fear, but the shouts of more than a hundred radical young men in unison: "If you sign it, you'd rather die!"
As the shouts were heard, gunfire sounded, and several members of the Ichthy Party who were leading the resistance were hit by a lead bullet, fell to the ground and twitched, stretching their hands upwards, as if they wanted to grasp the rising sun of the truth in the lyrics...
"The Mo Party is dead and hard-working, and it's still worth the death! As for you, signing confessions, at most exile. If you don't sign, it will be their fate!"
The person behind him took a stack of black and white photos, compared with the Mo Party members who fell to the ground, and grabbed a Mo Party member from the crowd. Without saying a word, he cut off his hands and threw the broken palms towards the crowd and asked, "Will you sign?"
...
Outside the city, an officer looked at the black smoke that had just exploded in the gunpowder depot, and whipped the mount under his crotch with a horse whip.
The garrison who had changed defense not long ago did not leave, but joined the team that came to change defense, carrying guns and spears toward Fujian City.
At the entrance of the city, several security teams obviously didn't know what was happening in the city. Seeing the densely packed soldiers, they couldn't help but feel timid.
A member of the Mo Party in the security team walked to a lower-level officer without changing his face and asked, "What are you going to do?"
"The civil strife in Fujian City endangers the lives and safety of citizens, and the stable situation of entering the city! Get out of the way!"
After saying that, he picked up the horse whip and pointed it at the young man in the security team. However, the young man quickly grabbed the horse whip and said coldly: "Please show the request of the county magistrate or the council. Without written documents, the army is not allowed to enter the city at will. This is the rule of establishing the country."
"There are priorities and laws, but are you responsible for something happening?"
"I only recognize the laws of the Council or the county magistrate."
The officer snorted and snorted, ignoring the man's obstruction, rushed forward.
The young man took out a short gun and shot it in the sky. Then he blew a special, extremely sharp whistle. After three consecutive blows, a faint whistle sound came from a part of the city.
Bang……
The officer took out a short gun and shot the young man who was blowing the whistle, and the army officially drove into Fujian City.
