Chapter 98 The direction of anger
Alas, the worry in the distant mountains is not without reason, the real turmoil has not yet arrived.
In this sudden chaos, the various thoughts that had previously flooded with the special class structure of Fujian City made this sudden flame likely to sweep everything.
The Mo Party, who held an enlarged meeting more than half a year ago, had the most radical idea of the future, if it did not split in this change, it would only become a brake rather than accelerator.
This is a city, not a countryside.
So there is both anger towards the old era and fear towards the new era.
Among the absolute main urban strata of Fujian City, more than half are small producers, and the number of real proletarians is not large. Those who have just walked from the countryside to the city and dug rivers in shelter factories still prefer land and it will take a long time to adapt to the new era.
The tax reform that the Council has been discussing this time has benefited the most from the small producers, and the franchise and tax-bearing players of the old era.
And those speculators and grain merchants who have ugly appearances have also accumulated enough resentment from the middle and lower classes in the past decade.
Yes, the society they dream of will always be fair labor for fair exchange, and their hatred will be more concentrated on the grain merchants, speculators and tax-holding franchises.
All kinds of messy taxes and commodity taxes have made small producers, the main consumer force, extremely dissatisfied, especially after economic theory began to analyze internal problems, this dissatisfaction has accumulated deeper and deeper.
Any kind of commodity tax will eventually be added to the price of the commodity. The person who pays the tax seems to be a merchant, but in fact they are a large number of consumers. Then these taxes and franchise vendors exchanged the taxes they paid for privileges and unequal ticket rights.
In fact, the land problem and the problem of rent and interest reduction did not cause much disgust in Fujian City. Many landlords living in Fujian City have completed their transformation, and they can obtain some tax exemption rights by donating money, which has little impact on them.
The propaganda of the Mo Party directly pointed the finger at those who suffered losses in the tax reform without evidence, which was equivalent to directly making the petty bourgeoisie the most angry class and the best ally in interests.
The same is true for the franchise issue. Many capitals are eager to franchise, and even if they don’t get it, they hope to compete freely, and the profits are too great.
The landless people who should have been the most angry and the farmers who flocked into the city, because of the "buying" policy of the Mohist Party, they temporarily had a job of making a living; the factory-based workers did not even have the right to vote, so they could only put their demands on the agents of the Mohist Party. At the same time, they only fought for benefits with the factory owners. In addition, the influx of landless people and the improvement of new machinery have allowed some unskilled workers to do a lot of work, and some of the hired workers were busy setting up small groups that resisted new people. They were organized but were also the easiest to be controlled by the Mohist Party.
Therefore, the people who are most likely to lose control are extremely radical and utopian petty bourgeoisie. They have always been passionate and are also the most touched by tax reform. At the same time, except for some industries that compete with hydraulic factories, the rest of the industries have lived well over the years due to trade and other issues, so they are the most angry at the remnants of the old era.
As you make more money, prices are also rising.
If you make a lot of money, you will naturally think it is the benefit brought by the new era.
As prices are rising and taxes remain unchanged, they will naturally be considered as the residual disadvantage of the old era.
In fact, silver inflows, large amounts of exports, productivity increases minus exports, and the rate of silver inflows cannot be kept up with the rate of silver inflows. The failure of rural land to complete capitalist transformation to agricultural products did not integrate into the market on the largest scale, which is the reason for the big head.
But these people may not think so, and it is too far away to think so. It is far better to push all the problems to the tax system. Speculators are simpler. Of course, their eating habits are indeed too ugly and they have not learned how to eat elegantly.
Anger may not happen in the poorest and most miserable places.
Anger often occurs in half-light and half-dark places.
The brightness has been touched, so everything is clear. Even though many people try their best to make them think rationally, it is difficult to do.
The darkness has been felt, so everything bad is dark, even though many people try their best to tell them that the darkness is passion and brightness make them want to resist the darkness.
In addition to their personal interests, the unique fanaticism in them also gives them a romantic temperament of wanting to be saviors, and has also given birth to organizations such as Just and Radical Youth Clubs. Of course, their radicalism provides opportunities for some easing policies of the Mexican Party.
The Mo Party has not yet encountered a real massacre, so the moderates, ideals and naive sects within the party are in groups. There has not been a massacre to wake them up or kill them all. There is still a chance to continue to improve them to stand up for bourgeois democracy until the moment the butcher knife arrives.
When the three documents signed and sealed by the signatures of the Yayuanshan Mountain were just passed to the streets and alleys of Mincheng City, the radical Justice Youth Society, which was nominally dismissed from the legal activities due to violent bombs attacking officials, immediately issued a statement.
"The Radical Justice Youth Society firmly supports the people to suppress the rebellion and releases a statement here:"
"The instigator behind this rebellion and military coup, even if the 'big figure' of the capital, cannot be judged by justice, this society will uphold this justice."
"With just violence against unrighteous violence, our community vows to Tianmeng. If it is confirmed, it will kill his whole family and not leave any one to restrain anyone who does such a move."
"Also: This society is responsible for the death of the whole family of the Zhou landlord in "The Tragic Life of a Tenant Farmer" on the 15th of last month. After investigation, it is found that it cannot escape the judgment of justice. The New Mo Party, which betrayed justice and pursued the "future of a scientific society", suspended hostility and cooperated unanimously to quell the rebellion that violated the republic."
"But please remember that the people ultimately pursue justice, not science."
As soon as the announcement was released, two leaders of the radical Justice Youth Society, who were sentenced several years ago to "permanent exile in their lifetime" appeared publicly, calling on all parties in the former Progressive Alliance to unite and jointly fight against the armed rebellion that threatened progress.
In this case, among the seven temporary members of the Mo Party in Fujian City when the rebellion occurred, except for one staying at the Central Party Department to coordinate, one person took some of the military backbones to Nan'an, and the two went to the front line. The remaining three immediately contacted and negotiated with the other parties in the former Progressive Alliance in the city.
The battle was still going on in the distance. The various parties and some of the progressive prestigious people in Fujian City quickly elected the "Emergency Interim Special Second Council" and made an eight-point program.
"One, immediately seal the banks of coastal counties, and temporary bailiffs are stationed, and anyone is strictly prohibited from transporting precious metals. If the rebellion continues, the rebellion bonds will be purchased with the gold and silver of this bank, with an annual interest rate of 18%, and the maximum amount is not limited to the maximum."
"Second, immediately block the residences of speculators, tax holders, tax officials, and franchise merchants and restrict their activities. Any act of resisting or escaping in the chaos will be considered to be participating in the rebellion and detaining immediately. If there is any resistance, it will be executed on the spot."
"Three, immediately organize a volunteer team for the Chinese people to suppress the rebellion and seal the grain storage office at the wharf. During the rebellion, all grains will be sold at this year's average grain price and purchased by the rebellion bond funds."
"Fourth, establish a special period picket team. Anyone who commits robbery, rape, theft or other acts during the rebellion, and if they are arrested, they will be punished as a crime of rebellion and hanged."
"Five, any act of participating in the battle and digging barricades in this counter-rebellion, regardless of the amount of property, can obtain the minimum right to vote for the Chinese people."
"Sixth, all grain stores shall not be discontinued during the rebellion period. Anyone who sells more than 100% of the lowest price this year will be divided by a fine of one thousand percent of the profit."
"Seventh, the ticket futures exchange is temporarily closed, and any transfer of stock futures and other goods carried out during the counter-insurgency period will not be recognized."
"Eight, the Military Commission of the Volunteer Team of the Anti-Treasoners will be elected. Any place that the Military Commission considers necessary to build a barricade shall be entitled to demolish the houses and shall be compensated for the losses caused by the damages caused. During the anti-Treason, the Military Commission shall be superior to the county magistrate and the emergency special provisional second council."
"Nine, this emergency temporary special second council, the power of the military committee member of the Volunteer Team to quell the treason will be automatically lifted until the rebellion is pacified, and all the above temporary special bans will be lifted together."
The special program that was urgently drafted was immediately approved in the place where citizens gathered through the method of voting hundreds of years ago, and was officially released by the seal on the Liyuan Mountain.
Hu Lin, who had been living in seclusion at home a year ago, was invited by Chen Jian several times but had not re-entered. He also walked out of the special program he drafted and signed his name. At the same time, he took out his own silver to buy counter-rebellion bonds. There were no bonds, only a piece of paper with numbers written on it.
He and Chen Jian did not meet. Before the drafting of these programs, Chen Jian had already taken people to these places. There was no seal, but they were monitored. Once the program was drafted and effective, the important locations in the program were immediately seized.
Those who guard these places are elite and the most loyal group of people. Their meaning of guarding here is no less than going to the front line.
A large number of county shelter factories that excavate canals and build roads were built with various tools to build barricades on these roads.
The Mo Party came forward to guarantee it with its own party property and consistent reputation, and did not even require any signing of any decree. A large amount of materials for the house were removed and built barricades were found to be necessary.
There are long plans for the construction of barricades, and several important areas have already completed brick and stone structure renovation. Various house renovations, slum renovations and the design of several new landmark buildings that began ten years ago have basically hidden military purposes for future urban barricade battles.
When the miners' petition broke out many years ago, Hulin stood at the Central Party Committee of the Mo Party and saw the purpose of the brick and stone structure reconstruction and square streets. Although it has not been stated explicitly over the years, the houses and streets under the responsibility of the Mo Party or the potential Mo Party will inevitably be mixed with preparations for a riot in the future.
The barricade is made of bricks, stones, wood, and the height of the chest wall, but it does not block the streets, but leaves a gap for attacking and counterattacking in the middle, and can be blocked with a beam at any time.
Houses on both sides of the barricade will also be stationed in some Chinese volunteer teams, and they will harass the enemy from the side.
Although the number of cannons hidden in the city is much higher than that of the suppressed army and has young gunners better than the army, in order to minimize the threat of the opponent's cannons, the construction of the barricade must also be in the front half of the street in the direction of the attack.
If the opponent's cannon wants to bombard the barricade, it must be shot directly. The barricade is built in the front half of the street, which can ensure that the cannon is fired by muskets when it appears, and it also facilitates the youth grenade regiment to use the house to circumvent the cannon.
If the opponent seizes the barricade, the cannons deployed in the back of the street can launch a counterattack.
