Chapter 166 Chaos
Night, silent.
And in the world, I don't know how many conspiracies and tricks will be born in people's hearts on such a dark night. At this time, dark clouds block the moon, which seems to be a sign of ominous... In Wuxi City, in an inconspicuous courtyard, there is no light in the courtyard from the room. It seems that the owner here has already When I fell asleep, it seemed... But no one expected that the light was still on in a house in this courtyard. The reason why the light did not shine in the hospital was that the thick blanket blocked the window, so that the light could not be reflected outdoors.
At this time, in this room, several people were around a table, as if discussing something, and one of them was wearing a police uniform. These people looked so that their upper bodies were completely hidden in the dark because the lampshade was too low.
"Fight!"
A very affirmative voice sounded in the room.
"You must shoot! And the police must shoot!"
"But..."
The police officer in police uniform seems to be a little hesitant. If he shoots... "It's nothing. If we want to intensify the incident, we must shoot!"
One of the shadows said in an extremely cold voice.
"The sound of gunfire, only the sound of gunfire can wake everyone up. The sound of gunfire here will intensify everything and lift all the covered problems..."
"The families of those female workers are also workers. There are tens of thousands of workers in Wuxi. If all of them launch an industry strike and then launch a big march, their actions will provoke a chain reaction across the country. However, tens of millions of industrial workers across the country carry out general strikes and marches, demanding the formulation of the bottom. Wage standards, the implementation of the eight-hour working system, the prohibition of business owners from reducing wages at will, and the requirements of organizing trade unions, then..."
Then the shadow was silent. He seemed to be imagining the picture at that time, the picture that shocked the world.
"Only the sound of gunfire can awaken this country..."
"But... some workers also have guns in their homes, and there are dozens of gun stores in the city, in case..."
The police officer asked with some concern that the right to hold a gun is one of the basic rights of the Chinese people. According to His Majesty, in Chinese history, there were only two periods in which civilians were prohibited from holding weapons. One was the Mongolent colonial period and the other was the Manchu colonial period. The fundamental reason why they banned the Han people from holding weapons was fear. The Han people launched an uprising.
In a normal nation-state, its citizens must have a certain right of self-defense, and firearms are the basic right of self-defense of the citizens, which can not only resist foreign aggression, but also resist tyranny.
"The right to hold a gun is to resist aggression, and the second is to fight against tyranny!"
Another unexplained shadow explains the interpretation of gun ownership in the imperial constitution.
"Since it is tyranny, then the resistance of the people is understandable!"
"Revolution always sacrifices! Revolution always pays something! Ladies and gentlemen, if we succeed, we will see a completely different China, a republican and well-cooked China, which will also be born because of the gunfire here! Comrades, this will be our mission!"
"But, will those female workers go on strike tomorrow?"
"Yes! If there is no strike..."
"Well, don't worry, they will definitely go on strike!"
At this time, the shadow's voice paused, and then turned into calm with that kind of excitement.
"Tomorrow, we will wake up this sinking country with the sound of gunfire!"
In the early morning, a middle-aged man in summer clothes quietly left the yard. He walked on the quiet street, looking at the city where Yi was still sleeping in the night, with a smile on the corners of his lips.
"Conspirator!"
Suddenly, the corners of his lips moved and spit out these three words. Is he a conspirator?
No! In his opinion, he has never been a conspirator, but a person who is good at adapting, but enthusiasm may lead him into the deep pool. He secretly thought that he had the ability to influence some people and let them do something according to their own decisions, just like now, just like this time... This... It's destined to be a midsummer!
Looking at the coming dawn, the middle-aged man said to himself silently, and then walked in the direction of outside the city without hesitation.
In the early morning, when the bus on the street passed by, the whistle of the work beeping sounded in the Yufeng yarn factory, and the air flutes of other factories also sounded in the morning. Yesterday's strike swept dozens of factories. Today, these factories still sounded the whistle of work in the early morning, reminding the female workers in the working area to come. It's time to go to work.
However, compared with the usual hustle and bustle, there are not many female workers working today, only some timid female workers. Yesterday, the news that Yufeng took the police to the work area to arrest people had already spread, which not only did not make those female workers give in, but also further strengthened their confidence in the strike.
At this time, outside the gate of Yufeng Yarn Factory, the policemen who started work lined up in front of the factory. Unlike those who used to hold batons, today's hundreds of policemen are holding rifles in their hands. The sound of the rifle is equipped with bayonets, but the bayonet is stuck in the steel scabbard. Although so, these armed forces are strictly The police stood outside the factory with a serious look to maintain order.
In the early morning, Yufeng's manager Sheng informed the police that they had hired 500 temporary replacement workers. Whether the female workers went to work today or not, the factory would resume work. After all, a day's delay was money.
Temporary replacement!
In the past many years, this has been a method often used by factories in the face of strikes. They first threatened female workers with threats to dismiss. At the same time, they negotiated with similar factories in other places to hire temporary replacement workers with high salaries and enter the factory as replacement workers. In order to prevent replacement workers from entering the factory, strikers often use the blockade of factories. Doors, even violent threats, fights and other ways to prevent replacement workers from entering the factory, and the method used to stop the factory owners is to call the police.
As taxpayers, they naturally need the protection of the police, while the police department is to fulfill their obligations to protect the replacement workers entering the factory. Subsequently, the strike will be due to the replacement workers entering the factory, coupled with the threat of dismissal from the factory. First, a small number of workers withdraw from the strike, then the strike is easily disintegrated, and the factory will be settled in the fall. The dismissal of some workers.
Now, these policemen are here to protect the factory from the impact while waiting for the arrival of substitutes.
In the Yufeng yarn factory, the insomniac faces of the factory managers and carts are covered with a layer of cyan, with red silk on their eyes and excited brilliance.
This is the last five minutes of the decisive battle!
This class of managers who have tried their best to resume factory production, while waiting for the factory to resume work, are inevitably a little uncertain at this most critical moment.
In front of the corridor of the management department over there, Sheng Wuming walked back and forth like a general. From time to time, he looked out of the factory nervously, and at the same time pricked up his ears to listen to the sound outside the factory.
"I hope..."
At this time, his expression is firm and confident. Perhaps for the outside world, he is waiting for the resumption of the factory, but only he knows what he is waiting for. Although what he is waiting for is full of threats, there is nothing terrible now!
What else is terrible?
He is very well arranged for everything.
Perhaps, the chairman did not approve the use of substitutes, the expensive method of returning to work, and he just hired a hundred substitutes within his authority, but God knows what he is waiting for.
At this time, the whistle beeped for the second time, longer and louder than before. After shouting, Sheng Wuming still felt a little buzzing in his ears. The wooden door on the other side of the workshop has been opened, waiting for the female workers to enter, waiting for the roar of the yarn machine.
Wang Changlin came from afar, and the small eyes on his long face were nailed to Sheng Wuming from a distance.
"How's it going? "Changlin!"
"The female workers have entered the factory! Three or five, more than a dozen!"
So the two of them smiled opposite each other. It's a big deal!
Sheng Wuming turned around and ran into the management department, picked up the telephone and the operator reported the number in the chairman's mansion. He was going to send the first telegram, and there were some things that needed to be done, but as soon as the operator over there connected the line, a sudden shout came from the outside, which was the roar of the women.
Sheng Wuming also turned his face and looked out. He smiled coldly.
He knows what this shout is. Some female workers want to "stop" people at the gate of the factory!
This is what Sheng Wuming had already expected.
This...is exactly what he expected!
There is nothing terrible about him. He put his mouth back to the telephone, but the line was broken again. He was about to scream again, and another louder shout came from the outside. Following the shout, a man rushed into the room."It's a fight! It's a fight!"
A Zhen shouted wildly and rushed to Sheng Wuming's side. The telephone phone fell down, Sheng Wuming shouted fiercely, pushed away the person who broke in, and ran out. He bumped into another staff of the management department in front of the corridor. He also fled like crazy, and his face was pale as death.
"Do you want to block the factory door? Where's the police!"
Sheng Wuming kept running forward and shouting all the way.
His face turned white; if that person didn't do it... all his thoughts would be in vain. But when he was about to reach the factory door, he stopped himself. Wang Changlin's face was covered with color, and he ran angrily. At the gate of the factory over there, a group of people twisted together. The police were persuading loudly there, and at this time, thousands of female workers were crowded outside the factory, and the female workers were quarreling there.
Wang Changlin stopped Sheng Wuming and shouted urgently:
"I can't go! All of us have been beaten! I can't go!"
"Bullshit! Are you mud bodhisattvas? Where are the police?
"This guy! It can't be done..."
Sheng Wuming scolded harshly, waved Wang Changlin away, and then ran in the direction of the factory door.
"Everyone calm down. This factory is private property. No one can attack..."
The police shouted loudly, but then there was a shout from the female worker.
"Sisters, don't listen to these policemen. When those substitutes come, they will fire us. We must not be allowed to return to work! Sisters, smash the machine..."
"Smash the machine!"
"Smash the machine..."
Emotions are always contagious. In this chaos, people always move blindly and obey blindly, and always act recklessly with the actions and shouts of others. Finally, the female workers rushed to the door of the factory like a wave. They first broke through the dissuasion of a team of police, and even some women scolded. The police.
"Don't worry about these lackeys..."
The police stood in line at the gate and saw this scene. They all looked nervously at the female workers who were getting closer and closer. They were obliquely holding rifles according to the past training and preparing to stop the entry of these female workers with a sheathed bayonet with the gun head.
"Ah..."
Suddenly, the policeman in front of the crowd let out a scream, and then the police saw a colleague lying in a pool of blood with his stomach covered, while the female workers shouted and stepped on the injured policeman towards the door.
The screams of colleagues only stunned the police officers, and a burst of anger rose in their hearts. They all looked at the scene in surprise and angrily, and then turned their eyes to the officer beside them.
"Your officer!"
The police officer, who had been standing by the gate, looked at the tide of workers, and then looked ahead.
"The gun... is put on!"
When he gave this order, he felt that his throat seemed to be a little astringent. When there was a sound of sound in his ear, another order came out of his mouth.
"Aim straight ahead!"
Then, the police officer walked forward and shouted at the female workers.
"Everyone step back immediately! Back up immediately..."
The female workers in the front row were also stunned when they saw the police loading the gun. When they saw the police's flat-end rifle, they showed timidity. But when they wanted to retreat, the people behind them wanted to move forward. Under the push of the female workers behind, the female workers who were originally timid were pushed forward.
"Fight...shoot!"
At the moment the order was given, the police officer closed his eyes in pain.
" Bang..."
When the sound of gunfire came from the factory door, Sheng Wuming couldn't help but be stunned. He stopped his footsteps. The sound of gunfire and dozens of gunshots came from the factory door. Just as he stopped his footsteps, there was another row of gunshots.
Bullets flew across the crowd, penetrating the delicate bodies of the female workers, blood sprinkling on the streets, and crisp gunfire and cries echoed at the gate of Yufeng Yarn Factory.
"The gun... is put on!"
After a platoon shot, the police officer issued another command, and dozens of female workers had been lying down a few meters in front of him, but the female workers who had not retreated in the front row were still pushed forward.
"Fand!"
It was another round of guns, and the sound of gunfire sounded again.
And these policemen with rifles just obey orders to perform their duties. For them, shooting is just an order. Unlike the first shot, the policemen who were also stunned by the scene in front of them were also stunned by the female workers struggling in the pool of blood. They didn't even I can believe that they did it. In the second round of sip shots, most of them raised their guns.
"What..."
Shoot!
Yu Defu, who was working in the factory, listened to the shouts of his workers. He could hardly believe his ears. The police shot at the female worker!
He, his daughter-in-law, is Yufeng's yarn worker, and... hardly thinking about it, he immediately ran out of the workshop, and then the factory was boiling.
"Damn it, I'm not doing it!"
"Strike... Strike!"
"The police shot at our daughter-in-law, went on strike and protest..."
Who?
Who fired the gun? Who ordered the shot?
At this time, when all the factories in Wuxi were shut down in just ten minutes, when nearly 100,000 workers and citizens gathered to the municipal axe and the city council to protest and demonstrate, no one was in the mood to ask these questions. Now, whether for the municipal axe or the city council, what is in front of them is a more For the important question - how to calm the people's anger.
"Hand over the murderer!"
"Down with the police!"
"severely punish the murderer..."
Anger, unprecedented anger filled the hearts of these workers and citizens, and in front of the steps of the city council, sixteen corpses were placed. The delicate blood-stained appearance only made everyone's anger stronger. When people looked at the police in front of the steps, their anger was stronger, and Next to a corpse, Yu Defu was holding his wife, who was full of blood and had already lost the signs of life.
"Kill me! Kill me...shoot me..."
A strong male worker pulled off his overalls and kept patting his chest at the police. In the face of the anger of the people, neither the mayor nor the city council knew how to deal with this matter. They had never faced the anger of the people, at least the anger of the people had never been aimed at them.
"First of all, we should be held accountable..."
"The chief of the police is dismissed..."
"Arrest all the suspected policemen..."
"Establish a special investigation committee to thoroughly investigate this matter..."
While the city council and the officials of the municipal axe were discussing how to deal with the matter, there was a more passionate shout outside the window. The scene seemed to be more chaotic. The officials and legislators quickly stood by the window and looked out of the window. What they saw was chaos. The people who were marching were constantly pushing bricks, The stones were smashed at the police outside the parliament, and even kept hitting the police's defense line. Those unarmed policemen could only be supported with rattan shields, all of which were passive responses.
"The police can't do it!"
Seeing the scene in front of them, everyone understood that it was difficult to maintain order by the police alone. What's more, after the shooting in front of the Yufeng yarn factory, I'm afraid that those people were only angry with these policemen and relied on the police to maintain order, and there was not much possibility at all.
"Why don't... transfer the guard to the city!"
Looking at the chaotic scene in front of the parliament, the mayor squeaked hesitantly.
Invite the guards to enter the city, maybe this is the last choice! At least, those people won't have any complaints about the guard. Let's restore order first.
