From Chief to Ball

Those who guard these places are the elite and the most loyal group of people. The significance of their guarding here is no less than that of going to the front line.

A large number of men from the county reception factories who dug canals and built roads took all kinds of tools and built barricades on these roads.

The Mexican party came forward and guaranteed with its own party property and consistent reputation, without even needing to sign any decree, a large number of house materials were demolished, and barricades were built where it was considered necessary to build barricades.

The construction of barricades has long been planned, and several important areas have already completed the transformation of masonry structures. Since ten years ago, various housing renovations, slum renovations, and the design of several new landmark buildings basically have hidden problems. The military purpose of future urban barricades.

When the miners' petition broke out many years ago, Hu Lin could see the purpose of those brick and stone structures to renovate buildings and square streets from standing on the central party headquarters of the Mexican Party. The houses and streets that the Mexican party is responsible for are inevitably mixed with preparations for riots one day in the future.

The barricade is made of masonry and wood, and the height of the parapet is not to block the street, but to leave a gap in the middle for attack and counterattack, and it can be blocked with beams at any time.

The houses on both sides of the barricade will also be stationed with some Chinese volunteers, who will harass the enemy from the side.

Although the number of cannons hidden in the city is much higher than that of the suppressing army, and there are young gunners who are better than the army, in order to minimize the threat of the enemy's cannons, the barricades should be built in the front half of the attacking street.

If the opponent's cannon wants to bombard the barricade, it must shoot directly. The barricade is built in the front half of the street, which can ensure that the cannon will be shot by the musket when it appears, and it is also convenient for the youth grenadier to use the house to go around and seize the cannon.

Cannons deployed in the back half of the street could launch a counterattack if the opponent captured the barricade.

These things prepared in advance mean that there has never been a fantasy of not bleeding.

Chapter 99 Song and Sword

Blood has been shed where there was an exchange of fire with the army.

The first to organize was the Mexican Party organization near there. After hearing the sharp whistle, more than 70 people were quickly organized, and guns were collected and barricades were built in some places that only middle-level members of the organization knew.

These people are loose, only passionate, and not the part of the Mexican party that has formal military training, but they still abide by the resolution of the party group and started resisting before the order was issued.

The more than 70 people who resisted first did not achieve any results. The hasty resistance was exchanged for 70 corpses from the army, but most of the [-] people died in battle, and the rest were captured and beheaded on the spot.

This kind of sporadic resistance in the early stage slowed down the speed of the army, especially the occasional lead bullets fired from houses or dropped bombs, which greatly affected the morale of the army.

The seizure of the block in the early stage was not slow due to unorganized resistance, but this slow speed has already made the leading general feel uneasy.

The previous conspiracy was perfect. People in the city said they would destroy the Second Council, and most of the people from the Mexican Party were not in the city.

As long as there is chaos in the city, the army can use the stable situation as an excuse to enter the city.As long as most of the people in the Second Council sign the confession, the existence of the Second Council will cease to exist: since these people can confess under threat, how can they be trusted to represent the people of the country fairly? What about benefits?

When the army enters the city, once the confession is announced, the Central Party Headquarters of the Mexican Party will be captured, and the leader of the Progressive Alliance party will be rounded up.

It has always been like this in the history books, several coups or rebellions, as long as the leaders are killed, no matter how many people there are, there will be no resistance at all.

Once the city is under control, with both grace and power, the Mexican party will inevitably collapse, and the remaining people will not be successful. It will be very simple to collect some evidence of the rebellion.

Some people in the city are simply wall sitters. If they succeed this time, they must prostrate themselves on the ground, as long as they give them a little broth, and don't take away all their benefits.

It does sound like a perfect plan, it does sound simple, and it makes sense.Just like some internal strife in the Ducheng family, once the leader is killed, they will naturally disperse.

But when it was actually implemented, the leading general felt something was wrong.

The explosion of the powder magazine is a signal for the army to enter the city, which means that the inside is ready.

The problem is that the black smoke rising from the capture of the Central Party Headquarters of the Mexican Party has not appeared for a long time, and there are many sporadic resistances as soon as they enter the city, which is obviously completely different from when they dealt with peasant or handicraft uprisings.

The explosion of the gunpowder depot and the capture of the Central Party Headquarters of the Mexican Party and the control of the council should have been carried out at the same time. Now that there is no black smoke rising, it is obvious that those people in the city have been killed and have no ability to seize power.

It's not that the general has never killed people, but because of his age, he didn't participate in the unification war that ended before he was born. However, he has made a lot of contributions in suppressing uprisings and hunger riots. According to past experience, massacring these people is actually quite simple.

He thought it was the same this time, but this time it was completely different.

For example, they took another block before and captured it from behind. This time, more than 60 people were captured.

In the past, when they were captured and beheaded during the suppression, most of them would tremble with fright, their legs would tremble and weep, or they would be dragged aside in silence like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. sound, or endless silence.

But this was not the case for the 60 captured people. The captured people should be workers from the nearby coal yard. After being captured, they did not wait to die obediently, but wrestled with the soldiers.

The leader was a young man in his 20s, with a black cloth wrapped around his arm, and holding a short gun in his hand, obviously a leader.

One of the young man's legs was cut off, and his arm was bent to the back because of resistance and the joints were taken off. Obviously, such a leader must be executed.

But when the young man was unable to move, he was only angry and fearless. When he was dragged like a dog to the rest of the captured people, a bloodstain was drawn on the ground.

In this case, the young people resisted in the only way available.

While being dragged, he sang a song, but before he could finish singing, he was beheaded by the soldiers.The soldiers wanted to finish listening, but the officers didn't dare to listen.

The officers had to admit that the tune of the song was very good and extremely exciting, and it was most suitable for war songs.

But the words of the song made the officer feel uneasy. Instead of ordering beheading and killing people, it is better to hope that there is only one person in this world who can sing this song, and killing this person will cut off the inheritance.

"There was never a prophet or a God, nor a republican tribune!"

"It's up to us to fight for our rights."

"Let the lawful thief spit out what he has swallowed."

"Once they are wiped out, the rising sun of justice will spread all over the world."

"This is the final fight, united until tomorrow."

"The future that belongs to the laborers will definitely come true!"

"This is the final fight, united until tomorrow."

"The future that belongs to the laborers will definitely come true!"

"The oppressive state, the laws of the class, the exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes drain the blood of the laborers."

"The rich are free without obligation, and the poor are not asked about their rights."

"Enough of sinking under deceit, equality needs new laws."

"There are no rights without duties, and no duties without rights."

"This is the final fight, united until tomorrow."

"The future that belongs to the laborers will definitely come true!"

"This is the final fight, united until tomorrow."

"The future that belongs to the laborers will definitely come true!"

...When the song reached this point, the young man's head had already been chopped off, but it was not so neatly cut off. The soldier in charge of the beheading obviously shook his hand, which made the officer very dissatisfied, and rushed over to take the whip He slapped the soldier a few times.

The remaining captives did not beheaded with knives, but chose heavy matchlock guns to execute them, because there were likely to be some people singing during the beheading process, and the gunpowder smoke and gunshots could suppress these songs if they were executed.

During the break, a high-ranking officer who was covered in goosebumps by the singing copied the lyrics in a notebook he carried with him. From the format and address, it was obvious that he was writing a letter to his father.
