Chapter 37 Rebels
"...The actions of young people represent the punishment of absolute justice - social sanctions!
When society is in darkness, any responsible citizen should take direct action, do not resort to the law, do not rely on representatives, the law is the amulet of power, legislators are deceptive politicians, can not represent public opinions... beating a few people and opening a condemnation meeting has no effect at all. This spiritual fire should be burned to the whole The country, the whole world... What young citizens do is undoubtedly the way for heaven, the embodiment of public opinion and the display of civil rights. The pursuit of young citizens is a rare grand event since the incident of the imperial student in the Song Dynasty. Not only should they not be punished, but also such patriotic citizens should be praised!"
People's Daily - Patriotic innocence!
"Your Majesty, not to mention that they burned the government official organs, that is, they beat and hurt people, they are active criminals, that is, they violate the bottom line of the law!"
In the Royal Garden of Zijin Mountain, several scholars looked at their majesty in front of them and said seriously.
"Even if those political officials commit heinous crimes, they are still inviolable and violent when they are not guilty. The so-called social sanctions are just the remarks of thugs, and this statement is undoubtedly a disaster to the country and the people!"
Sitting in front of His Majesty, Wu Chaoshu still insisted on his attitude. Although he was very young, because his father was Wu Tingfang, after returning from studying abroad, he entered the palace and served as the legal adviser of His Majesty's office. Almost after hearing the news of the "Burning Technical Committee", he immediately asked for a meeting. Your Majesty, we request that all those involved be severely punished.
"Your Majesty, at this time, we must adhere to the bottom line of the rule of law. If we do not adhere to the bottom line of the rule of law, the country will lose more in the future! It will even lead to a great change in the national situation!"
Although it is not clear what will happen in the future, Wu Chaoshu can still realize that if this "social sanctions" does not stop, it will only bring disaster to China by any means on the grounds that the goal is correct.
When Wu Chaoshu published his suggestion, Chen Moran was just silent. Of course, he knew what this behavior meant and what it would bring to this country by any means with the so-called righteous goal. He knew better than anyone that sometimes history is a mirror!
As soon as this behavior is not punished, it undoubtedly means that the state recognizes social sanctions to a certain extent. If it affirms the Technology Introduction Committee, it is equivalent to agreeing that under the so-called "goodness" of the country and the people, it can deprive and trample on the rights and dignity of individuals, and even use violence. . So in the next few decades, the arbitrary abuse of prisoners, the use of the death penalty, the trial of the whole people, and the loss of human dignity. This dignity is the last bond of human existence. If it is destroyed, people's pursuit of ideals and civilization will be worthless.
In this process, the general policy of the "Burning Technical Committee" has opened the history of China's deprivation of individual rights in the name of "patriotism" and violence in the name of "people" and "justice". In the name of the right goal, it deprives others of their rights, and even tramples on individual life and freedom. It is the deepest disaster for mankind. They are all done by good people in the most just name.
When I instructed the Constitutional Committee to formulate the constitution, although I was so eager to seize the power of individuals with most justice, on the other hand, what I feared and clearly wanted to avoid was in the name of the group, the majority and justice. Deprivation of individual rights.
And now, aren't those patriotic young people deprive individuals of their rights in the name of the so-called group, majority and justice? What's more terrible than self-righteousness?
In silence, Chen Moran walked to the window and looked at the rain outside the window. Thinking of the phone call from the Army Department, they were under pressure from the guard cabinet, who asked the army to arrest those involved in the case who were in the reserve officer corps.
Ah... After a long sigh, Chen Moran looked at the rain outside the window. For the stability of the future, perhaps, it can only be done. The respect of the law must be maintained, and the final bottom line of society must be defended.
"What an eventful autumn!"
After saying that, he turned around and walked to the desk, and then picked up the phone.Outside the window, it is raining. Compared with the previous boiling of Nanjing, Nanjing at this time is full of rain. At the end of the streets and alleys, you can see cars galloping on the streets. The military and police with live ammunition are maintaining order in the streets. Just two hours ago, Yuan Shikai, as the minister of the cabinet, issued the order. They are all martial law.
This resolution even bypassed your majesty, but was authorized by the Emergency Law of the Chinese Empire, which was signed by the Prime Minister and signed by the Minister of Justice. According to the martial law, all demonstrations must be ended immediately, otherwise they will be arrested.
As soon as the martial law was reached, the police, who were very polite to the demonstrators, immediately showed the side of the state's violent machine. The police with batons and shields were responsible for dispersing the demonstrators.
For the police, they may not be as strict as soldiers, but for the police, they have a creed, "protection between the police". From the day those "hot-blooded young people" beat more than a dozen policemen into serious injuries and were carried into the hospital, everything has changed. In their opinion, the parade The demonstration turned into a violent incident, and they must restore order in Nanjing.
At Nanjing Imperial University, the students on the campus look with a trace of confusion and, of course, with a trace of anger.
"Classmates, Yuan's cabinet has resigned. Now it has issued a martial law order, which has violated the provisions of the Constitution. Processions and demonstrations are gifted human rights. Such cabinets have issued martial law unconstitutional..."
Standing on the flower bed on the campus, Kuang Wuxun shouted loudly. His white shirt still had a trace of blood. I don't know whether it was his blood or the blood of the public officials he beat. His speech was interrupted from time to time, and thousands of students under the stage followed his words and protested loudly. The political axe is unconstitutional.
In the crowd, several young people in white shirts squeezed in front of the stage, and in the crowd under the stage, there were dozens of people like this. If someone noticed them, they would find that they were obviously different from the young people around them. They shaved their short hair and their eyes were firm.
One of the young people looked at the people on the stage and asked softly.
"Is that him?"
"It's him!"
Another person took a photo and said it for sure.
After getting the answer, the leading young man shouted.
"Do it!"
The next moment, when Kuang Wuxun was still giving a speech on the stage, there was a sudden chaos under the stage, and nearly a hundred people either turned left and right or rushed to the stage.
The young man who rushed to the edge of the flower bed almost suddenly dragged Kuang Wuxun down from the flower bed. Before he could come to his senses, he said loudly.
"Consigny Kuang Wuxun, you have been arrested for burning the imperial political axe organ!"
When he spoke, the person who pressed him took out the handcuffs from behind his waist and handcuffed him firmly.
"Are you the police?"
Kuang Wuxun opened his eyes wide and asked loudly.
At this time, the surroundings were already chaotic. The young students shouted loudly when they saw someone coming to the school to arrest people.
"The police arrested someone!"
"The police hit someone!"
"You can't let them arrest people!"
"Why do they arrest people!"
"Stop them!"
In this shout, thousands of students gathered around.
"Why do you arrest people!"
"Rone, let one go..."
When there was boiling around, the leader smiled coldly. He looked at the excited young students and just looked at them as if nothing had happened.
"Are you still soldiers?"
A favorable question only stunned the students who had surrounded the police, and then they came to their senses. In addition to college students, they also had the status of officers of the Royal Guards Reserve Officer Corps.
"Who are you? Why do you arrest people?
A student asked loudly.
"We are the brigade directly under the Military Police Command of the Royal Guards, Major Lieutenant Colonel Li Fusheng!"
Li Fusheng, with a blank face, replied coldly, and at the same time, he showed his ID to the students in front of him.
His answer only stunned the people around him, and also made the pride on the faces of Kuang Wuxun and other people who were caught disappear in an instant. The person who arrested them was a soldier and a gendarme!
What does this mean?
"Why arrest people? This is the application of the military prosecutor of the Nanjing Garder District. The arrest warrant signed by the military court is suspected of burning the official organs of the political axe, and their behavior violates the military law of the Royal Guards!"
The cold and emotionless answer burst out from Li Fusheng's voice.
In the face of such an answer, everyone was stunned by his answer. Nanjing Imperial University is a liberal arts university. Among these students, there are many law students. They clearly know what the military court means, and they also know the arrest warrant signed by the military court.
The military prosecutor applied for an arrest warrant, and the military court issued an arrest warrant, which means that those arrested students will be transferred to the military court for trial.
Maybe they don't know much about military law, but for soldiers, burning political axes is almost like a rebellion! If this charge is confirmed, then they... just before the students came to their senses, Li Fu said coldly.
"Take it all away!"
The students who originally intended to stop them almost took the initiative to give up a way. When they were trained in school, they had been indoctrinated with the idea that military law could not be violated, let alone against the gendarmerie implemented on behalf of military law!
And more importantly, at this time, the gendarmes in front of them are undoubtedly reminding their identity - soldiers. If they confront the gendarmes who are implemented on behalf of the military law, it means that they will become - rebel soldiers.
