From Chief to Ball

After copying those lyrics, he wrote: "This song is extremely inflammatory. I suggest that my father propose a complete ban at the National Assembly."

"This lyrics obviously has the crime of insulting the tradition and inciting the people of the country to fight, and it is easy to arouse the astonishment and anger of overseas countries such as believers in God and prophets. Divide by hanging."

"In addition, father, please raise a sum of money as soon as possible. If this matter is done, I don't recommend you to get involved in the shares of Nanyang Company. Many people are staring at it. We may not be able to share much. I suggest the next best thing. I want to There is a way to get the franchise of flat glass in your hometown. Don’t even think about the capital, it won’t be left to us.”

"Also, please father clear up the people in the military department as soon as possible. After this incident, I will be temporarily transferred to the north. Someone will definitely choose revenge. You must also be careful and try not to go out these days. This is not as simple as you think , these people are insane, just before I wrote to you, a citizen's child spat at us, the child's parents were beaten half to death, but their eyes scared me a little, so I stabbed him to death with a sword killed them."

"May my ancestors protect me. I have no choice. This child will definitely be a potential rebel when he grows up. Please pay for a school in your hometown to compensate for my compulsion and my uneasy morals."

"Father, I really don't understand. I have also read books introducing overseas countries. We are much stronger than those overseas countries. Why do these people rebel and resist? I personally think that they are too kind to these people , the more merciful they are, the more shameless they are. As for the things they demand, what were their grandfathers doing when my grandfather was on the battlefield? Why should they be like us? There are really honorable and humble people, and all those with low morals and criminals are basically lowly poor people, I really don’t understand that the girl from the Lan family wants to stand by these people.”

"By the way, is your grandson still obedient? He hasn't been naughty recently, has he? If he is too naughty, he should be taught a proper lesson, otherwise he will be hard to discipline when he grows up. You tell him, I will go back soon, and I will be sure when the time comes Bring him some good things from Mincheng, and let him study hard, especially arithmetic. He can recite the multiplication table very quickly, and he is a smart boy. The little pony that Ji Mingze gave me last time will be ready when he is a little older. Let him learn to ride, it will be useful, tell him more stories about his grandfather, let him know that cavalry will never be out of date no matter when."

"When I left, the capital was rebuilding the shock cavalry, right? I have said long ago that we are the pillars of the Republic, and those rich and good farmers are our best swords. If I want to say that we should give tax exemption to those rich farmers, they Only by killing these rioters in the city can you be merciless. The infantry can just find scum to fill them up, and the cavalry must be treated preferentially and tax-free, so that when they are killed in the future, the infantry may be soft-hearted, but the cavalry will not."

"If I were the king, I would definitely kill those who destroyed the land system of the army and cavalry in the north. They only know that the small profits in front of them are digging the foundation of the republic. It's a good thing now, after the fight back then After the war, I knew how to grab the land, and I didn’t care about anything. Now it’s even more difficult to rebuild. I have to use heavy punishments and punishments to deal with those moths of the country. It’s best to call everyone together to talk, Otherwise, it will be difficult in the future. In the north, you should vomit as much as you need."

"The army and cavalry in the north need land and tax exemption. But how can there be so much land now? Let them spit out one by one and refuse."

"But it's okay, after this time the matter is over, Mincheng will have enough to eat for a while. Then let's eat Mincheng and spit out the north. Do this, this is the last chance. Let When people vomit, it is possible to make people eat more. I am afraid that something will happen if I eat one side and the other side does not vomit. There are so many stories in the book, why can’t they see through them? Dig it, who is it destroyed?"

"However, father, if they don't vomit then, we shouldn't vomit either. If we vomit and they don't vomit, it's no different from not vomiting at all. On the contrary, we suffer. We are all for the future of the Republic, but It’s no match for those short-sighted moths, it’s sad.”

"If each of our families gives up a part of the land, it will be enough to support about 2 soldiers and cavalry. Exemption of money tax and payment of blood tax will definitely be the most loyal group of people to us."

"They won't listen to such demagogues as land distribution, tax reform, and parliament, and they will cut whoever they say cuts off. Everyone knows the way, but the land can't be worked out, and they can't agree. Why is it like this What? Why can’t we take a long-term view? Even if we have a long-term view, what can they do if they don’t let us?”

"Father, every time I think of this, I am filled with anger and feel uneasy. But even though I have the heart, I am powerless."

"Okay, let's stop here. The bastards who followed me just played with a woman to death. I have to whip them twice to make them clear their heads. This place is not anywhere else. It is right to be careful. Wish You are well. I also told your grandson that Dad will go back soon, but before I go back, you'd better send him to the manor. My eyelids are always twitching these days, and I always dream about the previous years No one dared to say anything about what those lunatics could do about the incident when the newspapers in the capital were censored."

Chapter 100 The Other Sex

By the afternoon of the battle, the commanding general already felt that something was wrong.

The promised city took advantage of the chaos to set fire, occupy the council, and capture the party headquarters of the Mexican party; the navy also launched an attack from the dock in the name of maintaining order; In the area of ​​guarding the mansion, the council and the bank, Mincheng was defeated in one go.

However, after entering the city, there was intermittent resistance, and there were often lead bullets or bombs thrown from unknown places, which made the army's attack speed extremely slow.

In streets, squares and other places, the army can't use it at all.

In the case of long-distance shooting, under the lead bullet hit rate at this time, the number of casualties on both sides is directly proportional to the number of people on one's own side and the enemy's, regardless of the shooting level.

For melee combat, the simple barricades made it impossible for the elite cavalry to perform, and the infantry assault would be attacked by various bombs from time to time. There was even a situation where six young men scared away more than 80 soldiers.

As for the turmoil in the city and the navy's occupation of the docks, they couldn't even see the shadows.On the contrary, the citizens here retreated in batches. Those grassroots organizations that usually rely on relief, textile cooperatives, vaccinia vaccinations, and distribution of two catties of noodles during the Chinese New Year, etc., do not have combat effectiveness, but only one person is engaged in it. The backbone of this kind of work at the grassroots level can immediately stabilize the mood and lead people to retreat.

This kind of suppression was something the general leading the team had never encountered before.

The sporadic resistance at the beginning has also turned into a continuous retreat and organization to fight with barricades together.

At 01:30 in the afternoon, the army rushed into the vicinity of a tall building before the citizens fled in a hurry and retreated in an orderly manner.

In the binoculars, the tall buildings read "Public Water Disinfection Office in Downwind Slums". In the distance, you can see some strange and narrow red brick buildings, which are the low-level housing of citizens with Mincheng characteristics.

This public water disinfection station is a dangerous place in the eyes of the general.This place is by the river. If you control this place, you can easily control the left and right banks of the river. Attacking can divide the opponent, defending can counterattack along the river; a nearby open space is also suitable for deploying troops and artillery, and it is a rare staging area. , In this era when wars must be fought in groups, whoever controls such a gathering place can take the initiative.

The general thought to himself, if it was said that these people in Mincheng had no intention of rebellion, he would not believe it.This kind of building looks like a public drinking water disinfection place, but it is actually a gathering point for riots in the city.

But those idiots who said they were good at making trouble in the city said that as long as the army came in and the navy disembarked from the pier, Mincheng would be defeated.The general said in his heart that their understanding of war is still in the era decades ago when the city gates could be broken by opening the gates with a few meticulous work, but Mincheng doesn't even have a city wall, and it is full of obviously deliberate cannons everywhere. The square, the open space, and the commanding heights of the counterattack forces are not the city gates, but the few buildings in the city that can be seen from a distance.

A barricade has been built near the building at the public drinking water disinfection site, and it is completely supported around the building. Fortunately, there seems to be no cannon on the building, otherwise, if you want to attack it, you don't know how many people will die.

Straight ahead is a slope of dirt, not too steep.In the distance, there was a group of citizens who were building barricades there. After seeing the shadow of the army, they quickly retreated, but they definitely did not run away.

There are more and more strange things in the telescope, and he has seen many strange things in just half a day, but he still saw the strangest thing in front of this building - on the upper platform of the building, there are obviously several woman.

Obviously, these women were not used to aim at the cannons below the city to take off their pants to stop the cannons, but to participate in the battle, because through the telescope, it was obvious that several women were helping to load the muskets and handed them to the men in front.

"Sliding the world's great joke!"

The general cursed, and felt more and more that there was an indescribable ghostly spirit in Mincheng. He looked at the sun and thought that if he couldn't capture this place today, it would be a waste of work today.It is impossible for the army to sleep overnight in a place without enough open space. In the case of Mincheng, choosing to sleep overnight in the neighborhood is better than committing suicide directly.

……

The general was not mistaken, the people who helped load the muskets on the building were indeed women, and many of them still had the armbands of the Mexican Party wrapped around their arms.

These women are members of a nearby weaving cooperative, and because of the joining of these women, the reputation of the Mexican Party is not very good.

In Mincheng, no one knows the official name of this weaving cooperative, but everyone knows its nickname—the Wandering Women Weavers Cooperative.

It is said that they are prodigal because most of them choose to divorce their former husbands. Although the law does not allow women to take the initiative to divorce, they still choose to make a collective statement in the newspaper in name only, and their former husbands will be harassed. These women beat with their hands.They have guns in their hands.

Since they are women, as one side of the two sexes, and they are not old age, these women will naturally choose to find a lover when they still have a marriage contract but unilaterally declare divorce.They weave cloth by themselves, and they have money in their hands. Only those who have the ability to make money can be equal. If they don’t have the ability to make money, they can only be pets.

After a long time, those original husbands either felt ashamed to hold their heads up and took the initiative to divorce, or went to the Central Party Headquarters of the Mexican Party to yell and scold them all day long.The weavers' cooperatives organized by these women are gradually being secretly called the wandering female weavers' cooperatives.

The members of the cooperative composed of these "wandering girls" are the earliest pioneers of the feminist movement in Mincheng. They chose to use labor to obtain their own power, and turned a deaf ear to the scolding from the outside world. Anyway, looking for lovers, some in the Mo party agree with this kind of liberation. of the opposite sex.

As a cooperative, they were also the first organizations to establish a nursery school, and they strongly agree with what Lan Qi said in her letter to them three years ago, "Participate in labor recognized by the society, and turn family labor into social labor in an employment relationship."

As a weaving cooperative, it is also a model of the attitude of the Mexican party to women. In addition, the price of wide-width plain cloth has been stable in recent years. Their cooperative has thus become a cancer of the old thinking in Fujian, and it is difficult to remove. .

Of course, it has also become an important reason why the Mexican Party has been criticized, and it is also an important reason why it is difficult for some petty bourgeois to carry out work.However, the Mexican party chose to stick to the bottom line instead of changing it arbitrarily according to the situation. This was a resolution that was passed by all, and pointed out bluntly that the Mexican party supported the free divorce of both parties. People called it "the party of the destroyers of tradition, the vagabonds and the would-be whores".

On the building, a few men with guns were smoking their last cigarette before the war. Even though smoking was strictly prohibited at this time, the person in charge still turned a blind eye to the enemy facing him. Just put some non-smoking guys in the gunpowder area in the back.

There was a young man who was a dock worker who crossed the line and made nasty jokes with these women. The women didn't take it seriously.

"I said, just dig the barricades, you bitches, come up here, have you seen blood?"

When talking about blood, the young man deliberately amplified his voice, and the people next to him also laughed loudly, obviously hearing the meaning.

A woman with an armband wrapped around her arm glared at the young man, and cursed back: "Nonsense, we saw blood when we were [-] or [-], and you were still wiping your nose back then."

The young man glanced at the woman who was loading the musket next to him again, and said with a smile, "I can't see, how about gunpowder? I thought you would put the lead bullets in first and then load the gunpowder."

Not to be outdone, the woman kept her hands still, but said, "Fill gunpowder? Tsk, the man before me came to me after drinking a lot of wine, and I shot at the door next to me without saying a word. He didn't bleed, but he wet his pants, which made our sister's room smell like urine."

The young man shrank his neck in fright, peeked at it for a while and didn't know if it was true or not, so he stopped asking.

Next to her was a woman who looked very good-looking, but her face was a bit vicissitudes, and she covered her mouth and smiled.Holding a piece of matchlock in his hand, it is familiar but different, like the yarn that was let go many years ago, but there were not many smiles at that time.

The woman’s family had a good time, her father broke the house due to illness, she bought orchids and was robbed by others, she was taken in by a soy sauce workshop, worked as a spinning worker, received relief after the spinning workshop went bankrupt, and was forced to work as a prostitute to maintain the relief So, until by chance, I became a member of the cooperative.

I used to laugh, but then I forgot to cry, and now I seem to be smiling with my mouth covered when I was a girl 13 years ago.

The hand holding the matchlock held the flower pot, took the broom, stole the beans, spun the yarn, pulled the weaving...
