Chapter 167 The Disturbation
The protesting crowd was still protesting outside the city council. People denounced the atrocities of the police, and the indignant people cursed everything with all kinds of words.
In front of the protesting crowd, the long corpses covered with white cloth and blood clearly reminded everyone of what the police had done and what the atrocities they were facing.
Anger, boundless anger is stirring in people's hearts.
Reason seems to be losing little by little, and in the long corpse, the man holding the corpse full of blood and long signs of life is very conspicuous, and some reporters pointed the camera at him one after another.
"Daughter-in-law, wait for me..."
Holding his dead daughter-in-law, there were no tears on Yu Defu's face for a long time. Perhaps, there was only hatred left in his heart. When he wiped the blood stains on his daughter-in-law's face with a handkerchief, he silently covered his daughter-in-in-law with white cloth, and then looked up at the police over there. The policemen held shields and batons in their hands. In front of them are broken bricks and other items, which were smashed by the common people.
They killed her!
Looking at the policeman in police uniform, Yu Defu squeezed out the crowd like ashes. When he squeezed into the crowd, people took the initiative to make way for the man covered in blood.
"I want to open up..."
"I want to open up..."
The people around him comforted the man who lost his wife with all kinds of words, but Yu Defu walked to the other end of the square with a dull expression. First, he changed his clothes in the clothing store. More than ten minutes later, he walked into another street, and then entered a gun shop. There were all kinds of display cabinets in the gun shop. There are all kinds of pistols, and there are also various rifles and shotguns in the back.
"Bre me two pistols!"
Kill them!
After leaving the gun shop, there was only one thought left in Yu Defu's mind. The relationship between him and his daughter-in-law was beyond the reach of ordinary couples. The experience of childhood sweethearts made his relationship with his wife very deep. Now, after losing his wife, there is only one thought in his mind - revenge.
"severely punish the murderer..."
When Defu laboriously squeezed forward in the crowded crowd, hundreds of soldiers of the local garrior troops had begun to enter the city council from other entrances. They were responsible for replacing the police to maintain the order of the lead. When the garrior force began to take over the police on the security mission, Yu Defu had already squeezed through the crowd.
When he saw the policemen lined up and were about to leave, Yu Defu still walked forward.
"Stop where you are!"
The guard soldier with a rifle looked at the incoming citizen and shouted at him, but Yu Defu continued to walk forward unresponsively. A few meters away from the police, he suddenly took out the pistol that had already been unloaded and pulled the trigger.
"Ban! Bang, bang..."
The sound of gunfire, a series of gunshots sounded in the square in front of the city council. While Yu Defu fired, the soldiers of the garrivalry were stunned and hurriedly loaded the rifle. When they loaded, Yu Defu, who had emptied a magazine, took out another pistol and continued to shoot.
The sound of gunfire caused chaos, and the whole square was in chaos. When the police were constantly knocked to the ground, the soldiers of the police force who had just taken over the task shot at the citizens almost instinctively out of self-protection.
The sound of gunfire!
The chaotic gunshots accompanied the shouts of the people in the square. For a while, the square had already turned into a beehive. No one knew what had happened and no one knew what was going on. At the beginning, some policemen were still there to avoid shootings, but when they saw the police force shooting at the people, Also out of instinct, several policemen took out their guns and shot at the soldiers. In this small-scale conflict, the chaos was caused by the chaos, and a larger-scale chaos inevitably occurred.
The harsh and sharp gunfire sounded, and the dense gunfire. Song Mingxin, who had been looking at the lively in the roadside shop, looked back uneasily while trying to see what had happened, but he only saw the chaotic and screaming flow of people. In the gunfire, the frightened citizens ran everywhere.
The next second, he saw in horror that the soldiers were shooting at the crowd, and the sound of gunfire echoed in the air.
"No!"
At this moment, he was completely stunned by the scene in front of him. Although he was a visitor before, he never expected that these soldiers would shoot at the civilians who were demonstrating.
The sound of gunfire!
There is no more beautiful sound than this!
Almost after hearing the news that the police and police in Wuxi fired at the citizens, the gunfire seemed to be wonderful for the leaders of the opposition who had been silent for a long time. It seemed to be the "good news" they had been waiting for for a long time, which would change many things, change the country, and arouse the indignation of the people.
Bad news has always spread faster than good news and attracts people's attention. Almost at the first time when the gunshots sounded in Wuxi, the news spread through long-distance calls, first through reporters and then from ordinary citizens to Nanjing and to the heart of the country.
People were surprised by the news at first. At first, they did not believe that it was true, even because they thought the news was false. After all, since the founding of the empire, neither the army nor the police have ever shot civilians, even at any time, whether the army nor the police. They can always be rational, and they will solve the problem within an acceptable range without choosing to shoot.
But now - Wuxi's gunfire makes them surprised and suspicious, but the continuous news makes them no longer question, and can no longer doubt. After no longer doubt, the initial question is unprecedented anger, a kind of anger lingering in people's chest, anger Fire is devouring their understanding.
Youth, university.
In the 12 years since the establishment of the empire, the greatest progress has been made by education. In the past 12 years, China's education has made great progress through the forced education law. Taking universities as an example, in China, which has been in the 12 years of the empire, more than 600,000 college students have studied in colleges and 95 universities across the country. .
Nanjing, as the capital of China, is full of 13 first-class universities in China. There are a large number of young and impulsive young students on these university campuses. Many of them do not have a good impression on the imperial system, which may have something to do with the relaxed educational atmosphere on campus.
For many years, universities have been the base of "recon republican elements". Many professors tend to be republican, and naturally their students are also deeply influenced by their ideas. Three years ago, when the country was involved in the war, when the country exposed corruption cases Although they failed to stop the war, tens of thousands of young students still changed the country's economic policy with demonstrations. In the past three years, special economic policies to deregulate and reduce political intervention are gradually withdrawing from the stage of history.
Although young students paid the price of thousands of people being forcibly recruited, through that incident, people realized that among these young people, there is a kind of power, a kind of power that can change the country.
"Classmates, the gunfire in Wuxi sounded, and hundreds of citizens died tragically by the police and the hands of the army..."
On the campus of Nanjing Imperial University, dozens of students from Wuxi gave speeches on the campus. They all told the "Wuxi Tragedy" of "hearsay" and denounced the atrocities of Wuxi local government axes, the police and the army.
"...We are ready to go to Congress to petition for a severe punishment of the culprit..."
"P petition, march..."
When the students were full of grief and indignation because of atrocities, in the joint conference room of the professors of the Imperial University, more than a dozen professors frowned and discussed the scene of studying in the university. Although they were extremely indignant about the atrocities that happened in Wuxi, they also had to let him We should deal with it cautiously.
Almost at the beginning of the meeting, the speech seemed a little messy. While these professors denounced the atrocities on the one hand, they were more concerned about their own students and the future of the middle school students in this school, and talked about it.
"If you launch a demonstration, it's not a joke. If there is trouble again, if the court forcibly recruits the students and sends them to the front line, how can you and I tell their parents?"
"That is, for some people, if it hadn't been for the privilege of college students who do not need to be recruited, it is estimated that those students with republican ideas would have long wanted to send them to the front line. You know, they are a thorn in their side and thorns in their flesh. Don't you follow their wishes?"
"From their wishes? Can we stop the students now?"
"If there is such a tragedy, if the students don't act, I'm afraid it's the strangest!"
"It's important for students to study, but the country is more important. If students don't express their voices and let it develop, I really don't know what this country will look like in the future. We can not participate in the demonstration, but it is unreasonable to stop the student march!"
"Wuxi's local government axe is rebellious, heaven is angry and people are resentful, and the blame is taken by themselves. It's understandable for students to denounce the atrocities!"
"I can't take care of this matter. I'm afraid I can only keep my eyes open and close."
At this time, someone said:
"Gentlemen, according to me, this ancient Tai student has a tradition of caring about national affairs. Far away, let's take 1902 as an example. The Qing Zheng Axe betrayed China's rights to Russia. The students of Beijing Normal University went to the "Anti-Russian Treaty". After the ruling axe, in order to win diplomatic advantages, the political axe launched many parades, and funded the printing and distribution of a large number of leaflets, which were distributed by students everywhere to boycott foreign goods. In the early days of the empire, that diplomatic breakthrough was not started by students. Over the years, generations of students did not stand up for fame and wealth, but only when the country needed it. Even Your Majesty has affirmed this many times. What, now that the students denounce the atrocities, everyone has a lot of worries..."
Speaking of this, it is obviously a professor with a republican tendency. Perhaps, it is undoubtedly the most appropriate to open thinking to Chinese universities. For Chinese universities, there has never been a forbidden zone here, and even a certain trend of socialist thought. Space exists, for those who believe in the idea of freedom first, and then the academics of freedom. For Chinese universities with no freedom of thought, that is, no academic freedom, the openness of thought is not only reflected in students, but also in these professors. Although these national universities receive national education funds, they can dictate the university's employment system. Universities have always been professors, even if Some professors tend to be republican. As long as his academic achievements are enough to conquer others, through the professor's vote, he can also enter the joint meeting of professors to participate in the management of the school. In this case, the freedom of thought in the university never ends.
At this time, although these professors have some worries, some sympathy and some support for the students' willingness to launch a parade petition, but unexpectedly, no one objected. This fear without objection often means indulgence.
While the professors at the joint meeting discussed how to deal with the students' march petitions, they posted a notice with the same content on the bulletin board of the five branches of Nanjing Imperial University, informing all the students of Imperial University and the student representatives of various universities in the capital to hold an emergency meeting in the auditorium of the Third Academy at 7 o'clock tonight.
Almost at the first time when the notice was posted, in an instant, the notice was full of people. The students and professors who were watching the notice were whispering to each other. There were many comments about what was about to happen, and everyone could foresee that a major event would happen. As the saying goes, the mountain rain is about to come and the wind is blowing all over the building, and the dark clouds are rolling and thundering.
At the same time, many radical organizations in Nanjing universities are also secretly gathering members. For these radical organizations hidden in the school, most of them are inclined to republican ideology. Perhaps over the years, the republican faction has been hit hard, but they have never given up that dream - the dream of republicanism. It is also the inheritance of this generation of young students that has spread that idea. Perhaps they are a minority, but it is because of the minority that they become more radical.
At the first time of the Wuxi tragedy, these radical organizations realized that this was an opportunity, an opportunity in front of them that could change the country. They immediately began to formulate an action plan and assign special tasks.
In Imperial Normal University, the "Civil Rights Association" has always been a secret existence in this university. Over the years, it has used the so-called "student community" to cover up its true face. Over the years, several generations of its members have been secretly spreading republican ideas. In their view, the republic is the real The future is the future that belongs to China.
During the lunch break, several leaders of the "Civil Rights Association" school gathered to discuss things. The four of them came to the school's playground and walked along the runway while talking.
"Zhang Xinjun, if I expect it well, student representatives of all schools will definitely submit a petition to the Congress!"
Looking at the students in the distance, Yi Ke said in a young voice.
"That's right, it's customary."
Luo Zhangxin nodded and replied, submitting a petition, which is a habit or a tradition of student demonstrations, which was inherited from the period of the ruling axe.
"Feng Shanjun, Hou Dejun, what kind of petition do you think they will make this time?"
"If there is no accident, they will demand that the murderer be severely punished and the truth is thoroughly investigated."
Li Fengshan replied for a moment.
And Liang Houde added.
"It is estimated that there will be some requirements for work rights."
Yi Kenian nodded, the right of work, the fuse of the Wuxi tragedy is the right of work.
"We can read some articles here, such as requiring workers to have the power to form a trade union."
"The requirements of workers' social insurance payment should also be added, and workers' income should not be reduced when the business owner bears it"
While adding, Liang Houde analyzed.
"In this case, we should be able to win the support of some workers. In the past, our parade was only attended by students, but the citizens participated very little. This time, we can win over the workers by fighting for the right to work!"
Li Fengshan reminded him.
"Workers, if we fight for workers, if the workers lose control, the petition will become a "workers' movement" and the situation will not be under our control!"
Perhaps because of the long-term propaganda of the Russian riots, they are more or less afraid of the "workers' movement". After all, the "workers' movement" has only brought chaos and atrocities to Russia.
"But if there are no workers, what can we do?"
Liang Houde asked rhetorically, and then said self-deprecatingly.
"Everyone knows that there is an old saying that it is not possible for scholars to rebel for ten years!"
This self-deprecating words made Yi Kian frown slightly, but he had to admit that it was the truth. Whether they were students or the seniors who had entered the society, they always had such concerns. Perhaps this was the real reason why the republican faction had always been silent.
"Workers may have power, but..."
Stop, Liang Houde looked at his classmates around him and said.
"But they need leaders. If we seize this opportunity, we can completely lead these workers. As long as we have the workers, we will have the initiative of the march, and then safely take the initiative of the situation?"
"But can we do it alone?"
Li Fengshan asked, he didn't believe that they could do it alone.
"Don't forget, there is also the Mingzhu Constitutional Party. For them, this is also a good opportunity for them to fight for power. Do you think they will miss this opportunity?"
After Liang Houde reminded him, Yi Keshan said after thinking for a moment.
"Then... Let's do it like this, but let's not mess around! Otherwise, the people will not believe us.
