"Bang!"

A gunshot rang out, and the young man was shot in the chest and fell to the ground. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

For the servicemen, the officer's action meant an order, and when the officer pulled the trigger, those soldiers who were lined up did not hesitate at all and immediately pulled the trigger.

A burst of gunfire immediately rang out in the street, and after this burst of gunfire, the squad leader in the queue automatically ordered the soldiers to reload and shoot according to the past training......

At this time, the streets are like battlefields. Although most of the recruits who came from Guanshan were only recruits, they still loaded and shot as if they were at the training ground.

The white smoke of gunpowder instantly enveloped their figures, raising a puff of white smoke in the street......

The gunshots were followed by a splash of blood!

Gunshot!

Dull gunfire rang out in the factory area.

Not only on Main Street, but also in nearby alleys, soldiers shot at people trying to flee because of the sound of gunfire.

"Put!"

A command from a sergeant echoed with the muffled sound of the "Ishii-style" rifle. The lead Mineer bullet easily pierced through a human body and would not stop until it hit another person.

Bullets flew through the air, knocking down people trying to stop it.

The bankrupt owners who had tried to smash the factory with resentment on their faces were all stunned by the gunfire. None of them thought that the gendarmes would shoot!

To be precise, they did not expect the gendarmes to dare to shoot.

In fact, even the gendarmerie officer who fired the shot fell into a trance.

It wasn't until the soldiers around him had completed the first salvo and were preparing for the second salvo that he hurriedly ordered loudly.

"Stop shooting!"

"Stop Shooting ......"

The military police officers, realizing that they had fallen into a catastrophe, rushed in front of the soldiers in a hurry and pushed away their rifles.

But it was too late, and in front of them, hundreds of people fell in pools of blood, and at a distance of only a few tens of meters, the Minne bullet exerted its amazing penetrating power - almost every bullet knocked down two people.

The people who fell in the pool of blood let out a cry of pain, and everyone was frightened, and those who were originally very angry looked at the gendarmes behind them in surprise, and their eyes were filled with fear.

"Put down your weapons, all of ......"

The officer shouted loudly, and the owners, frightened by the bloody scene in front of them, threw down their swords and guns, and then fell to their knees in tame. It was only then that the gunfire in the vicinity slowly stopped, and only stopped when the officers stopped it.

The previous chaos was gone, only the blood in the pool and their cries of pain reminded people of what had happened here before.

Soon, the military police on horseback rushed in the direction of the city of Guangzhou.

"Shot?"

When receiving the report from the gendarmerie, Li Ziyuan was stunned at first, and then said.

"I see. How many people died? ”

Li Ziyuan was not surprised that the gendarmes would shoot, in fact, in his heart, he even hoped that the gendarmes would shoot, and only by shooting would he tell those people that the government's determination - anyone who tries to block progress will be crushed into ashes!

After hearing that number, he just nodded and said in a calm tone.

"Well, it's okay, not many people died! Okay, tell Commander Ding, I will personally explain this matter to Fuzhong, and the gendarmerie fired in accordance with my orders! ”

As the governor, Li Ziyuan knew that he could not evade responsibility, although he did not give the order to shoot, but his request was very simple - "no cost"!

"Do you know that when this news comes out, your lord must be in the name of a butcher?"

As Li Ziyuan's staff Wu Zishan, he reminded him in a timely manner.

"Although the gendarmerie is responsible for local security, it belongs to the gendarmerie headquarters, and it acts in a military style, and it is just a habit to shoot, so why should you ...... it?"

Faced with the persuasion of his subordinates, Li Ziyuan just smiled coldly.

"You don't understand!"

Taking out a piece of paper, Li Ziyuan explained as he took the pen.

"Our lord, the most disgusting thing is that the subordinates shirk responsibility, if I push this responsibility to the gendarmerie, it will not only provoke the dissatisfaction of the military, but also make the lord disgusted, and more importantly, this is not a big deal, those people beat the factory workers, smashed the factory, the behavior can be described as extremely bad, how can it be calmed down without shooting!"

Although he said this, he was secretly beating the drum in his heart, after all, he knew the character of the lord very well, what would be the result of this matter reaching the ears of the lord?

"But my lord, after all, so many people were involved, and the shooting was fired, how can this situation be calmed down? In addition, most of them are bankrupt machine owners, which are easy to attract the sympathy of outsiders, and now they have caused such bloody cases, I am afraid that when the time comes, I am afraid that they will ...... I'm afraid it will cause dissatisfaction among the people! ”

"What if the people are dissatisfied?"

Li Ziyuan smiled coldly.

"How can the bankruptcy of those owners be the reason for them to beat and even kill others and destroy other people's properties? I would suggest that Fuzhong exile these people at all rates, and exile them far away. It's not good in East Africa, it's too close to here, I think it's still West Africa! ”

What the!

Looking at the adults in surprise, Wu Zishan almost couldn't believe that this was what was said from the mouth of the adults.

"Please think twice, this matter must not be like this, after all, tens of thousands of people are involved......"

"What about tens of thousands?"

With a cold snort, Li Ziyuan's eyebrows raised and he said fiercely.

"All exile! Don't leave one, don't do it, you can't let them be afraid of the law! They are not afraid of the law like a mountain, how can they convince the people of the world when they are the lord of the world in the future? How can people in the world fear the law like a mountain! ”

Fear of the law like a mountain!

The adult's words made Wu Zishan tremble, and he immediately understood why the adult was like this, his insistence was probably to kill the chicken to show the monkey, and he wanted to tell everyone what kind of means the government would have in dealing with the people's uprising.

It's not just about killing!

In addition to killing people, the government also had the means to move all these people overseas, to the farthest reaches of West Africa. It's a deterrent, a way to tell those people what they will pay if they want to stand up to the New Deal.

This price is "death"!

Even if you are lucky enough to survive, you will be exiled overseas, far from your homeland!

In Li Ziyuan's view, this seems to be his only chance to convince the lord that he can provide tens of thousands of "immigrants" to overseas colonies, which can more or less always make the lord accept this fait accompli!

The habit of being an official for several years has prevented Li Ziyuan from shirking responsibility, but he also understands how he should protect himself, at least as much as possible.

"Then Zhao will be the first and the others ......"

Tentatively, Wu Zishan asked, after all, he himself is also from Guangzhou, and he can not care about the life or death of those machine owners, but Zhao Huishou and others, after all, are also local gentry in Guangzhou.

"For the sake of selfishness, inciting civil unrest, his heart can be punished! What a heinous crime they have done! Must be handed over for prosecution ......"

While expressing the charges of these people in resentful words, Li Ziyuan suddenly said as if he had realized something:

"What is the use of such traitors who colluded with the Manchus for their own personal purposes and plotted civil strife!"

One sentence decided the life and death of several people, whether they colluded with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, no one knows, and no one cares. But "evidence" can always be found to prove all this, to prove that those people instigated civil unrest and were driven by the Manchus.

Yes!

At least his "guilt" is reduced a little bit, after all, it was these traitors who deliberately "forced" the gendarmes to shoot, and he, as the governor of Guangdong, had to do it as a last resort!

Facing the "crime" set by the governor, Wu Zishan, who originally seemed to be a little resistant, raised his head, looked at the adult and said.

"My lord! In this way, the people's hearts can be stabilized! ”

"I can't talk about it! Gu Yaonian in Suzhou during the Qianlong period of the Manchu Qing Dynasty? From tomorrow, you can know about this. ”

The conversation suddenly changed, and Li Ziyuan brought up an old incident from decades ago, and anyone who is interested in a career in the Qing Dynasty will learn this case and remember how the imperial court handled this matter.

"Gu Yaonian? Please let me know! ”

At that time, the rice merchants in Suzhou colluded with the government to allow grain from other places to be transported into Suzhou, but only allowed to sell grain themselves, and then arbitrarily raised the price of grain. So much so that the price of rice in Suzhou rose several times a day, and the people had nothing to eat, and their lives could not go on. Gu Yaonian, a cloth cloth, volunteered to ask the people for their lives, asking the government to stabilize grain prices, he tied his hands and wore only single clothes, and pasted a piece of paper on his body, on which were written eight big characters: There is no money to buy rice, and it is difficult for the poor to live. This is Gu Yaonian's demand, and it is also the appeal of the people of Suzhou. So when the people of Suzhou saw Gu Yaonian alone and asked for the people's life, they all gathered in front of the official mansion to support Gu Yaonian. You know, how did the Manchus deal with this? ”

Picking up the teacup, Li Ziyuan smiled coldly.

"Grab it! When Zheng Qingshi, the county magistrate at the time, ordered the officials to impose heavy sentences on him. The people of Suzhou were immediately indignant and stormed the county government, and the people were the opponents of the government, and later the government calmed down the matter and arrested 39 people. Gu Yaonian was rescued by his two friends and fled the scene at a fast speed. Later, Zheng Qingshi, the county magistrate at the time, reported the matter to Qianlong, do you know how this so-called "perfect old man" gave instructions? ”

Putting down the teacup with a sneer, Li Ziyuan's eyes narrowed into a thin edge.

"Diao people gather people to resist officials, it is really a matter of contemplating the law, and if there are people gathering to make trouble in the future, the law will be corrected immediately. For example, Gu Yaonian, take the lead in making trouble, and immediately cane him to death, in order to set an example, and must not be indulged. ”

Wu Zishan looked at the adult dumbfounded, as if he didn't understand the meaning of the adult's words.

"What the Manchu Qing Dynasty needs is a slave without complaints, and the slave has complaints, can Qianlong not be afraid?"

Li Ziyuan gave an answer, and this answer was figured out by himself.

"The Manchus are hateful, they abuse the people so much!"

When Wu Zishan scolded this sentence angrily, Li Ziyuan continued to ask.

"The Manchu Qing is hateful, but do you know what happened to Gu Yaonian in the end? Gu Yaonian and his two friends were arrested by the government, and the government strictly followed Qianlong's teachings - to kill Gu Yaonian, not only to kill Gu Yaonian, but also to kill his two friends one by one! The people of Suzhou cried loudly and shouted for Gu Yaonian, but what could they do? ”

When Wu Zishan was sad, Li Ziyuan still looked at him and asked.

"Mingqi, do you know how the people of Suzhou, who shouted for their grievances that day, later thought of Gu Yaonian, who asked for his life?"

Wu Zishan didn't answer him immediately, just looked at the adult, and he knew very well that if it was in line with common sense, the adult would never ask like this.

"Everyone thinks that Gu Yaonian is the culprit and villain, if Gu Yaonian hadn't instigated the trouble, how could there be thirty-nine people arrested and put into office?"

Li Ziyuan's brows jumped slightly, and his face was full of mockery, as if he was satirizing those people who were completely different, and he was also satirizing Gu Yaonian, who "asked for the people's life".

"What!"

Looking at the adults in surprise, Wu Zishan almost couldn't believe his ears.

"Do you know why? Because the Changzhou government specially invited a group of people at that time, asking them to applaud loudly when Gu Yaonian was beaten, smearing Gu Yaonian, saying that he incited the masses to resist the government, if it wasn't for him, how could there be a disaster of 39 people being arrested and put into the government? ”

Sighing, Li Ziyuan said how the Manchus dealt with this matter back then.

"So, the world only remembers that the emperor allocated 100,000 stone of rice in Jiangxi Cangmi, and the emperor of Pingguang, Jiangsu, and only remembered Gu Yaonian's hatred of inciting trouble and harming the heads of 39 people, who remembers his feelings of asking for the people's life?"

Sighing at the ignorance of the people, Li Ziyuan's brows tightened slightly, although he seemed confident on the surface, he was secretly beating the drum in his heart.

Can this really be so light?

After all, this is not the same as it used to be!

"In the Ming Dynasty, everyone was their own people, the emperor was their own people, the ministers and officials were their own people, everything was easy to talk about, and it was easy to discuss. If there is any dissatisfaction, you can curse and criticize, if you disagree with the policy, if you disagree, you can think about it in the long run, but under the Manchu rule, it completely became the relationship between slave and master, and if there was a slight dissatisfaction, it would invite death. ”

Thinking of the chat with the lord in the mansion at the beginning, when the lord mentioned the difference between the past and the present, that kind of sigh, Li Ziyuan's heart suddenly swelled with a burst of hidden worry. In the previous dynasty, the people's changes have always been based on care, if the time comes...... Nine times out of ten, the magistrate will be dismissed!

With the mind of the Lord...... Li Ziyuan, who has perfected the mind of the lord, knows that he, the lord, is always too lenient in treating the people, if the lord investigates the matter then! Then you can ......

But in front of outsiders, he did not show this worry, but said in an extremely calm tone.

"Okay, just do what I said, write an official document and report it to the house......"

I hope that this official document can save me!

But if it can't be saved, what will happen if the lord is bent on holding him accountable?

That's it, don't think about it!

Just when this thought came to Li Ziyuan's heart, a person suddenly walked in outside, the person's expression was a little nervous, and he was holding a telegram in his hand.

"My lord, many provinces in northwest Guangdong have an emergency ......"
