If there are more people, there will be chaos, this is a truth that children understand, and normal people will have different average IQ reductions in different degrees when they fall into a group.

In the beginning, the purpose of these thousands of people was actually very simple, to spend money to sell rice, and the four consecutive days of indiscriminate bombardment caused the entire Naha economy to completely collapse, and the people could only hide in shelters in the mountains during the day, and only at night could they move carefully.

Although the Ryukyu government and people were mentally prepared for war and had prepared some material reserves, it was an isolated island and could not even be self-sufficient in food.

When the French arrived, the military had only stockpiled supplies for three months, while ordinary people could be considered wealthy if they had a month's surplus in their hands.

It is precisely because of this sense of insecurity that people have begun to plan ahead and find ways to collect supplies, especially food.

Originally, today's conflict would not have been so big, and it can be seen from the beginning that people lowered their voices and asked the rice shop to sell rice, and at that time, people did not look at the crowd, but the people's feelings were very stable, and everyone knew that they could not alarm the French at sea, so as not to attract artillery attacks.

At that time, although Chang Sanhao and others were constantly stirring up trouble in the crowd, the good people were not fanatical, and still accepted the harsh conditions of only buying half a liter of rice.

It's a pity that sanity can't be maintained for long, when the door panel of the rice shop is removed, when the crowd begins to crowd strangely, when there are injured people in the crowd, the limited sanity begins to disappear quickly.

After the rice boss was scared and ordered the store door to be closed, the crowd saw that hope disappeared in front of them, and with the encouragement of people with intentions in the dark, this rice riot finally broke out.

At that moment, the greed in everyone's hearts defeated reason, what common suffering, what kind of kindness of the prime minister, what brotherhood in the same boat, all of them were left behind, and everyone was red-eyed to grab money and food.

However, Ryukyu is the first place in East Asia after all, and the nationalism and national concept that Xiao Lotian spent a year instilling was not in vain, and when the hooves of war horses and horses sounded on the long street, thousands of people were like hearing a thunderbolt, and everyone was stupid.

"What am I doing? The French are bombing our country, and I'm here to rob the military rations? Am I going to be ashamed?"

"They are all fellow villagers in the same boat, I took this money to lose my conscience, how can I raise my head in the future?

Countless people muttered the same question, and at this time, Boss Mi didn't know where to get out, and the fat man actually went to the roof.

"You bastards...... Dog stuff with a broken conscience...... Touching your chest is still a human heart......" Boss Mi jumped to his feet and scolded the street.

"When the Japanese occupied this place, what kind of life did you live? You are considered rich if you have three days of surplus food at home...... But look at it now, even if there is a war, your family will have a month's surplus food, and you will not be satisfied......?

"It's only been a little over a year, and you've forgotten your roots, ungrateful brutes...... If there is no Prime Minister, no new army throwing their heads and spilling blood, do you still want to have a good life today? Now that the French have not come in, you will kill your own people first......

"You are untouchables, untouchables, all untouchables...... Wait for the new army to suppress you, you should be someone else's slave for the rest of your life...... I used to be a slave of the Japanese, but now I am a slave of the French, and you are not worthy of being a human being anyway..."

Boss Mi was furious, jumping back and forth on the roof like a fat monkey, "Kill...... Repression...... Kill all these ungrateful things...... Bastard, even the military rations are robbed ......"

At this moment in the crowd, the fanatical love suddenly leaked, and the threat of the distant war horses coupled with the condemnation of conscience and morality made these 'thugs' no longer have the face to stay here, and began to scatter and flee with a bang.

It was at this time that a horrific stampede occurred. In the chaotic crowd, countless old and weak women and children were squeezed to the ground, and the dark streets and the terrifying atmosphere made it impossible for people to distinguish the qiē in front of them, and countless pairs of big feet stepped on people's bodies and thought they had stepped on stones.

"Wow wow...... Mother, mother...... "The child lay on the ground and wept bitterly, and his mother protected him with her body, completely ignoring the countless pairs of big feet trampled on her back, and even the corners of her mouth were bleeding.

"God has taken it...... This is God's acceptance...... ......The gray-haired old man was knocked to the ground, and in a short time his legs were trampled off, and his helpless cry did not know whether he was condemning God or himself.

The long street has now become hell, and the adults cry to the children as if the French soldiers had landed. Boss Mi forgot to scold this time, he saw the two thin children being dragged into the crowd and disappearing, and screamed in fright.

"No......" The two children looked at the fierce and auspicious, and at this time, Boss Mi didn't have time to worry about the money, "Don't run away...... I don't want that rice, and I don't want money...... Be careful with your step, be careful with your children..."

"I'm cāo, you're blind..."Boss Mi seemed to have a whole box of cigars burning in his chest, and the hot smoke rushed out of his nostrils.

"Bastards, you're all assholes...... Inhumane thing, don't run away...... And you..."Boss Mi pointed to the closed cloth shops, silk houses, grocery stores on the street, "you bastards...... Hurry up and open the door to divert and save people... Just take care of your own two bad money, do you still have a conscience......"

"I cāo...... Lao Tzu cut off your robe and cut off your righteousness..."

I don't know if Boss Mi's scolding worked, or if the conscience of the boss of the shop on the street suddenly appeared, anyway, in the scolding, one door panel after another was removed, and the frightened guys began to save people.

"Folks, don't run in first, come into the store, and squeeze down to kill people..."

"O iniquity, you are iniquity... Waiting for the future prime minister to come back, do you still have the face to stay in the Ryukyus?"

The men scolded as they diverted the crowd, and the pale people squatted on the ground as if sleepwalking, their eyes glazed.

At this time, the cavalry brigade finally arrived, and the few soldiers who rushed to the front were General Liang Kun's personal soldiers.

"Pass the general's order...... Pardon you for the crime of looting military rations...... Don't run, my lords have pardoned you......" and then a group of cavalry shouted out their throats in the street.

"Don't be afraid...... The Prime Minister has long said that the army is the fish, the people are the water, in the past, the people fed the soldiers, and when we were in danger, we just ate grass, and we would not let the people starve......"

"Don't run away, Your Excellency forgive you for your innocence...... I've given you all this rice......"

It was a miracle that the long street, which had been chaotic just now, fell silent in a second, and everyone stood stupidly on the ground as if they had been cast a spell.

In the alley in the distance, Sun Ximei, Chang Sanhao, and stubborn donkey...... One by one, the craftsmen stuffed their fists into their mouths in surprise.

Sun Ximei's silver teeth gritted the back of her hand, and she thought incredibly: "How is this possible? How can this be? Ci is not in charge of the army, righteousness is not in charge of wealth... How can there be any military rations in the world that have been robbed by the common people and not punished?"

The stubborn donkey muttered, "Did my ears get clogged with? Did I hear me wrong? Why didn't they kill people? The military rations were robbed, and they were so wretched?"

Chang Sanhao's eyes were straight, "Grabbed it for nothing, we did it for a long time, what kind of drama is this? shouldn't it......"

There was only the sound of horses' hooves hitting the stone slabs on the long street, and a horse flashed out of the cavalry, and the horseback was the person in charge of Lotte and the old shopkeeper Fan Yao.

"Folks...... Ladies and gentlemen...... You don't have to be stunned, what we said is all true, I am Fan Yao, the old shopkeeper of Lotte Foreign Bank, you won't even believe me......"

"Fan Caishen... The old God of Wealth ...... of Lotte & Co., "All of a sudden, the crowd exploded, and countless shopkeepers flashed out of the store, bowing to the old shopkeeper one by one.

Lotte is now a boom in East Asia, and no one can estimate how much money this foreign bank has, but people know that the prime minister's father-in-law, that is, the shopkeeper Fan, is the real top God of Wealth, and today the old shopkeeper came forward, and the fear in people's hearts can be regarded as landing.

The old shopkeeper jumped off the horse, walked into the crowd, stretched out his hand to help the wounded, and said with a sad face, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid...... I have also been poor since I was a child, and I know what you are worried about, everyone is afraid of hard life, and everyone has no bottom in their hearts in the face of war......"

"Under the cannon of foreigners, you subconsciously chose the previous way of living, which is also the life experience left by several lifetimes...... So we don't blame you, we really don't blame you......"

"Folks, my uncle, that is, the Prime Minister, once said, how to stabilize the people's hearts and how to use the people's morale? They are all in a hurry, and only when everyone can see hope with their own eyes and experience what a country and a nation are, will everyone recognize the concept of the country and the concept of the nation ......."

Shopkeeper Fan wiped his red eyes, stomped his foot and pointed to the sky and swore "I, Fan Yao, will make the decision for my uncle today, from now on, all the military rations of the troops will be opened, and the people can buy them at will, and they will buy them openly...... If the soldiers want to eat food, can they buy fairly with everyone?"

"If there is not enough food to eat, we will give up the food as soldiers and let the people eat it first...... Even if we eat tree bark and gnaw grass roots, we will never rob the people of a grain of rice......"

"Oh my God, how is this possible?" the crowd on the long street collectively exclaimed, and at that moment everyone's hearts clicked, as if a piece of 10,000-year-old ice had exploded a gap.

At that moment, almost all people thought of the same phrases 'nation' and 'country', which were lofty words in the past, and suddenly became extremely vivid and real at this moment.
