Chapter 90 Thunder on the ground
The light blue curling smoke slipped out of the kitchens, and a faint blue-gray fog gathered over the city, and the humid air was filled with a fragrance of firewood and breakfast.
From time to time, there was the sound of women calling their husbands for breakfast in the streets and alleys of the city. At this time, the men who were organized for military training according to the National Military Training Organization Law. At this time, they had already teamed up in twos and threes, wearing black military uniforms and walked into the streets from the main street, and the men entered the house. At that time, I always politely invite the people around me, while others politely refuse.
Although they have to be aroused at 5:30 every day in the twelfth lunar month for an hour of military training, nearly a year after the implementation of the plan, especially a large number of people who refused to train were heavily punished, and even sentenced and recruited. Although there will always be some complaints, people are used to every day. Two hours of physical training, half a day of military training a week, and semi-annual military training for 15 days.
Even those who oppose the Organic Law of National Military Training have noticed that the national military training that has lasted for one year has significantly enhanced the physical fitness of the people. When the training began in December last year, the military and hospitals conducted a precise examination of the physical condition of the trainees nationwide, and A year later, according to the re-examination, the chest circumference of the trainees increased by 4.6 cm, the average weight increased by 3.5 kg, the body muscle mass increased significantly, and the average grip increased by 10 kg. Pulmonary function is the most important indicator to evaluate the combat effectiveness of soldiers. Through the respiratory function test, it was found that compared with before training, the average increase in lung capacity. Add 502ml. This means that the physique of the participants has been significantly improved.
This is a very common old-fashioned house with green bricks and tiles. From the outside, the small house is divided into upper and lower floors. Like the surrounding houses, it looks very ancient. Even the Spring Festival couplets posted last year's Spring Festival are still on both sides of the door, but the original red Spring Festival couplets have faded, and the upper half is still red, but the bottom is It turned white.
At this time, the morning light poured into the room through the half-open door, illuminating half of the room, and the darkness shrouded in a place where the sun could not shine. Half of it is bright and half is dark, which looks a little gloomy. That said, this family seems to be extremely neat, which is another effect of national military training. The people's lifestyle has undergone fundamental changes in this year, and the home has become more and more neat and hygienic. On the one hand, it has something to do with men's habits in the training camp, but on the other hand, it is related to the Empire. The supervision of family health carried out by the Women's Association is not unrelated, and because of this, the changes in China in the past have even exceeded the changes in the past few decades.
"Mom, the teacher said that each of us should bring five yuan to school. After the holiday next week, our school will organize to go to the Three Gorges."
Liang Tachi buried his head and drank porridge, muttering vaguely. The national school organizes a Scout trip every year during the holiday, both near and far, and the cost is often partly subsidized by the political axe. In summer, they will conduct Scout camp training nearby, and in winter, they are often organized to carry out a brigade. This is to let them visit the great rivers and mountains of the motherland, and at the same time, they can further enhance their collective consciousness through collective activities.
As soon as he looked up, Liang reached his eyes stared at his father, who sat on the top and drank porridge while reading the newspaper. This is a habit he has just developed in the past. In the past, he did not have the habit of reading newspapers at all, but because during the military training break, people often talk about national affairs, so he also I have developed the habit of reading newspapers:
"Dad, give me five yuan!"
"No!"
Liang Jiafu, who was reading the newspaper while drinking porridge, did not raise his head and replied in a muffled voice.
"What does this school do all day long? Last year, I went to Mount Tai during the winter vacation, and this year I went to the Three Gorges during the winter vacation. Next year, I will go to Hainan Island. What kind of collective life do I have to live? How can I need to go to so many places? If I remember correctly, a student fell to death in Mount Tai last year. Whose baby is not in his heart, really!"
He muttered that Liang Jiafu expressed his dissatisfaction. In his opinion, the country is good, but there is a little bad, that is, um, according to lawyer Song of the law firm, that is, the monitor, "the state interferes too much in personal affairs". Yes, there are too much interference, and every person over 18 years old is forced to have a surname. Men under the age of 5 have to undergo military training, and all students in the school must join the Scouts, and even those women have to read the Life magazine, and then follow the introduction to maintain the basic hygiene of the family.
What qualified citizens must first be qualified soldiers, what the safety of the empire depends on the national military, and what healthy and educated women are related to the future of the empire. In short, the political axe has one reason and that. Fortunately, the price of this training uniform is 60% lower than the market price. Fortunately, the bullets used in this training, It's all provided by the political axe. Otherwise, I'm afraid Liang Jiafu will complain early in the morning.
Liang Xu, who was sitting next to Liang, was chewing slowly, heard her husband's words, but she didn't say anything. She knew that her husband, although she complained, she would still give money in the end.
"It's ready."
As soon as he finished drinking the porridge in the bowl, Liang reached the bowl and pushed the bowl. The chopsticks pounded heavily on the porcelain bowl, making a crisp sound. Liang Da wiped the corners of his mouth casually with his hand:
"In the past, people who went to the Three Gorges all took the train to Anqing by train. The teacher said that we had to walk there this time and stay on the road for one night. It would take two days to walk there. Do you want to come back or walk back."
"I have to walk more than 100 miles back and forth. In the past, the train was good back and forth. Why did I have to go this time? Is your headmaster crazy? A group of middle school students, what if there is an accident on the road? I still have to spend the night outside. Will the teacher help you cover the quilt at night?
Liang Dacheng's mother came out of the kitchen and wiped her hands on the apron, with a dissatisfied face.
Liang Jiafu put down the newspaper and sat there and said:
"Yes, I didn't look at the Three Gorges for a hundred years, and they are still the same. There's a lot to see! When you go to school, just say that we don't have so much spare money! You don't go this time. When you are admitted to college in the future, your father will buy you a car and drive there by yourself.
At this time, Liang Jiafu put his "car dream" on his son. Since he first took a car six years ago, he has dreamed of buying a car, but after six years, the car is still far away from him. When he wanted to buy a car several times, he only took half an hour to walk to the factory where he went to work. In the end, this dream is just a dream, but during the training last week, I heard lawyer Song mention that his son was going to be admitted to college, so he bought a car for him, and immediately had the same idea to buy a car for his son. He can drive it as a son!
"I said, why are you like this?!"
When Liang reached his parents saw that he would not pay, his father also said that he would not let him participate in the trip with his classmates. His eyebrows were frowned together, and his mouth immediately pouted that he could hang the oil bottle.
"I'm 16 years old. This is a group activity. If I don't go, I will let others gossip. But five yuan, it's not 500 yuan!"
"Tw, I'm not young when I'm young. It's not enough! How much do you earn a month now? I just know that I'm so big that I can't make a penny, and my tone is so big! It costs five yuan to go out to play. Is this money printed by our family?
Seeing his son's wild words, Liang Jiafu's heart suddenly surged with unhappiness. What has their generation suffered? They know the importance of money and the difficulty of making money.
"When your father was on the dock, I worked hard for a day and earned dozens of copper coins a day. If not..."
As soon as he saw his father, he immediately curled his lips and looked disdainful. Although he still had some memories of his childhood life at home, in his opinion, it was all the past, and people wanted to look forward.
The red sun showed half a small face behind the distant mountain, sprinkling thousands of glows through the faint green cooking smoke in mid-air to the world. Soon, the sun jumped up from behind the mountain and turned into a dazzling golden disk. The color gradually faded, and the majestic sun made people unable to look up. The cooking smoke and morning fog gradually faded under the sun, and finally disappeared by a wisp of breeze.
Many pedestrians poured out of the alleys in the city, and the bustling people walked towards their destinations. The car rang, the horns were long, the bicycles shuttled around the car, and a few cars were as slow as snails in the turbulent flow of people.
Liang Dacheng was walking on the sidewalk on the side of the road with his schoolbag on his back, with a series of crisp car bells behind him.
"Hi! Da Chengzi, come up quickly."
"Xiao Linzi? What's so late today? I'm waiting for you for a while"
As soon as he turned around, he saw his good friend Lin Wenqin behind him and jumping off his bicycle. Liang Dacheng quickly jumped on his bicycle. Xiao Linzi and he were classmates when he was in elementary school.
"Don't mention it, my old man didn't know what gunpowder he took today, and he scolded me early in the morning,"
Lin Wenqin complained while riding a bicycle.
"I guess I was trained by the monitor during the training this morning."
When he spoke, there was a smile on Lin Wenqin's face. The beauty seemed to be fantasizing about the appearance of the old man being scolded, and there was a trace of being a son in the gloating appearance.
"Xiao Linzi, you boy, just curse your father!"
"Hey, don't blame the old man in the family. If Grandpa hadn't invested in the stock of Huainan Coal Mine when he was alive and left him some basic business. In addition to the current history of drug prohibition, his temper, I guess this family would have almost let him almost fail. He was really my grandfather. It was sure that the old man would sell land. Stocks, he can only take dividends, not sell..."
"Come on, don't brag about your grandfather's foresight. I'm going to the Three Gorges next week. I don't know if the third girls' school will take a boat with us,"
"Hey, Dachengzi, are you thinking about your sister Song again..."
"Nonsense, who, who misss her..."
With that, the two teenagers still rode their bicycles to the school. At this time, their faces were just the carefree of the teenagers... She was there!
Seeing the figure on the side of the port from afar, Liangcheng only felt that his heart jumped a few times.
"Look, your sister Song is alone now, and she can't go there yet!"
He poked Liang, who was standing stupidly beside him with his elbow, and Lin Wenqin said with a bad smile. The so-called sister Song is Song Yu from the third girls' school. She is a very beautiful girl. During the summer training, Liang Dacheng, who served as a simulated casualty, engraved the girl in his mind after enjoying Song Yu's dressing.
At the insti of Lin Wenqin, Liang Dacheng walked over nervously, and then squeaked.
"Song, Song Yu!"
Looking back at the boy, Song Yu was at a loss.
"You are..."
"The 3rd and 3rd wounded!"
Hearing the No. 3 injured, Song Yu still remembered this person.
"Are you here too?"
"Hmm!"
He nodded blankly and saw the others walking to the port side. Liang Dacheng asked without saying anything.
"Song, why don't you go to the welcome ceremony? Everyone seems to have gone!"
After boarding the ship, Liang Dacheng knew that Yuan Shikai, the president of the House of Lords, was also on this small mail ship. Before the ship could reach Wuchang Port, hundreds of students squeezed into the port side to see the ceremony to welcome the "big official".
"What's good to see, but it's all lively on the scene!"
Song Yu, who was leaning on the side, seemed to be very quiet. It seemed that nothing in the world could attract her attention. Perhaps it was her indifference and quietness that made Liang achieve unforgettable.
"This boy..."
Looking at his good friend and Sister Song chatting from afar, Lin Wenqin, who was bored, leaned on the stern of the ship and looked at the Hanyang Iron Factory on the other side of the river. It was built by Lao Xiangguo's painstaking efforts. Now China's third largest steel factory and the largest heavy industry enterprise in the central region, is really idle, which makes him leave from time to time. Gu Youpan, just then, a burst of military music reached his ears. Military music came from the dock. On the gangway stretched out from the boat, a tall and slightly fat person was walking towards the dock.
On the gangway, I saw Wang Shizhen on the dock, the new governor of Hubei Province, and Yuan Shikai's slightly morbid face squeezed out a smile. In recent months, his health has become worse and worse, coupled with the psychological impact of "the Yuan family is only 60", which made him afraid of death and more and more nostalgic. I always think of those old people in Beiyang, and Wang Shizhen is naturally one of them.
Seeing the old prime minister coming over, Wang Shizhen, who had not seen the old prime minister for a year, only felt hot in front of her. Now the old handsome man still has the same appearance as before. If there was no old handsome man's judgment in those years, I'm afraid there would not be no old people in the northern ocean today, and on the contrary, the old handsome man... The old man is really old!
"You are hired..."
Yuan Shikai, who was far away, shouted Wang Shizhen's words enthusiastically, and his pace was naturally much faster.
"Old handsome..."
Although it has been many years, some titles can't be changed. When Wang Shizhen greeted him, suddenly, a little strange noise in his ear only made him turn his head and look westward, and a truck rushed over.
"It's okay, it's urgent!"
Driving the truck, I saw Governor Wang Shizhen standing on the dock, and the gangway of the mail ship had not been put down. Li Shaoshao secretly congratulated in his heart. At the same time, he looked at the iron fence that isolated the freight terminal and the passenger terminal. There was even no cement platform under the iron fence, only a simple iron fence that opened as soon as it hit. Column.
It was the iron fence that discouraged the comrades from giving up the idea of starting at the self-improvement university that day. The iron fence opened as soon as it hit it. As long as you drive the truck all the way, it will be successful. Of course, it is obviously impossible to hit it with a car, but if you use explosives and ten tons of explosives, the result will be very different, ten tons. The explosives are enough to flatten hundreds of meters of the square garden.
"I hope they can forgive me!"
Thinking of the innocent people that the explosion would hurt, Li Shaoshao whispered silently in his heart. He looked at the photo of his wife and daughter on the rearview mirror of the truck and reached out and gently stroked the wife and daughter in the photo.
"Hope..."
Finally, Li Shaoshao sighed. At this time, there was a sound of military music in the distance. Yuan Shikai was slowly walking off the boat. When he saw the governor greet him, Li Shaoshao looked at the scene very calmly and turned the steering wheel while talking to himself:
"I want to avenge the souls who died tragically under the butcher's knife of the tyrant. God bless, this action will teach them an unforgettable lesson, and it will definitely wake up the numb people..."
Then, while humming the song softly, he stepped on the accelerator to accelerate the truck. The truck carrying ten tons of explosives began to hit the iron fence, "K..."
The impact of metal was accompanied by the cracking of the windshield. The truck hit the iron fence and galloped towards the Yingbin Pier. The iron fence made a shrill sound under the drag of the truck. The people who were knocked down screamed, but more people shouted in horror. People hurriedly avoided the impact of the truck.
Before the police maintaining order on the dock could react, Wang Shizhen hurried to Yuan Shikai's side and pushed him towards the boat.
"Quick, handsome, go up!"
As he pushed Yuan Shikai, he shouted for the police on the dock, and the accompanying bodyguards also reacted. They quickly pulled out their pistols, hurriedly ran to the gangway, lowered Yuan Shikai's body, and escorted him and Wang Shizhen to the ship.
"Ah..."
The shouts also sounded on the ship. The students who were watching the welcoming ceremony on the port side were stunned by the scene. They were horrified to see that the truck hit the dragged fence and knocked down one person after another, and some people were even stuck in the fence and dragged out of the blood passages by one by the truck.
The panicked shouts and the chaos of the dock. At this time, Li Shao, who was driving the truck, was completely immersed in his own world. The distance of less than 30 meters seemed to be very long. It seemed that... Finally, he saw Yuan Shikai, who was being pushed towards the ship, and his right hand suddenly pulled down a thick rope.
"Goodbye..."
What's going on? Liang Da, who was about to chat with Song Yu, heard the shouting and turned around blankly with Song Yu, but then he saw Lin Wenqin running over.
"out..."
Before his voice came, the ship seemed to tilt. In an instant, there was a change between heaven and earth...
