On the docks, the people on the cargo ship loaded with muskets, gunpowder and paper-wrapped lead bullet did not know that the ship had been targeted.

This is not the first time the sailors have traveled to Amsterdam, and they have to cross the ocean after docking in the Great Wilderness City, which is a boring, long, and unexciting journey, so the crew is taking advantage of the fun on shore before setting sail.

In addition to the goods transported, there were also a number of people from the Mexican organization or the periphery who went to the Netherlands. Some of them were to instruct the diocesan self-defense militia established by the Dutch protestants in the diocese, while others went to the Dutch shipyards as apprentices to learn sailing skills.

A few people gathered in a tavern outside the ship to drink, and a few young people in the tavern were drunk and half-witted arguing about whether the spring, summer, autumn and winter were because of the elliptical orbit or because of the yellow and red corners, and their faces were red and their necks were thick, and they spewed out a stream of wine.

The two tables in the corner were together, and the men who were going to take a boat to Holland were drinking, and they had already drunk most of the half of the barrel of sugar cane wine, and the table was full of salted peanut shells.

A young man sitting in the innermost part of the house had a large bag beside him, which could have been placed on the boat, but he was probably used to it, so he was inseparable from his back. It contained ink wires, short saws, measuring tapes, and the like, apparently a carpenter, presumably sent to work as an apprentice in a shipyard in the Netherlands.

The people at this table may not have known or been familiar with each other before, but because the same organization has come together, and because they have the same voyage, they are familiar with each other after half a barrel of wine, and they are making fun of each other.

"I said, isn't your joint carpentry association doing a good job? In addition to the carpenters of the Nan'an Wood Factory, I really rarely see carpenters from other places join the organization. ”

The little carpenter shook his head and said, "Don't mention it, I can't pee in the same pot with that group of people." One by one, they say that the employment system is a matter of course, and it is useless for employees to pursue anything else, as long as they pursue a fair day of work and a fair day of wages. I asked the leaders of the federation, what is the ultimate goal? He told me that reducing working hours and raising wages is the ultimate goal. A group of people crowd out the new hired workers day by day, thinking that the more people there are, the worse it is, stealing their own jobs, shouting slogans Everyone who doesn't join the carpentry association will squeeze out one by one, what's the difference between this and the guild? ”

After scolding, he took a big sip of wine and said, "I asked me again how I can raise my salary?" They say it's not easy? Expand externally, sell things at a high price, and bring back all kinds of good wood without spending money. It used to earn one out of ten workers, but now it earns one and a half for twenty workers, so wouldn't that raise wages? That's right, but when I think about it, I don't think it's right. My fourth uncle is carrying wood and cutting wood, and I can do it, so what should my fourth uncle do? These jobs are done by slaves outside, and it is unlikely that my fourth uncle will be paid if he doesn't work, right? Isn't he going to be a homeless then? Damn, now that these people have bankrupted the little spinners, I haven't seen them give the extra money to the bankrupt ones? ”

This kind of simple consciousness and vulgar language, which was obviously a member of the peripheral organization, drew laughter from a table of people. The man who had spoken was about to say something more to talk to the little carpenter, when suddenly there was a commotion outside, followed by a dull gunshot.

The people at the table clearly sensed that something was wrong, and hurried outside, but the door of the tavern was suddenly pushed open, and more than twenty men with short knives, iron forks, or short guns rushed in from the outside, each with black and red cotton cloth wrapped around their arms, and there were really a few familiar faces inside.

"Don't move, just stay quiet. A few of you are from the Mexican Party, right? ”

The people in the corner nodded, frowned, and said, "What are you doing?" ”

"Don't do anything, everyone is in the same spirit, they used to be from the Progressive Alliance, and now don't hurt the harmony. It was your people who shot just now, but fortunately no one was hurt, so you go out and persuade them to get your people out of here quickly. Leave our affairs alone, for the time being, the guns of your boat, which have been borrowed, and your men are guarding the corners, so don't hurt the peace, and persuade them to leave quickly. ”

"What the hell are you going to do?"

The person who came in outside took out a piece of paper and handed it over, "You will know after reading it, just right, you go back to your party headquarters and send a letter." ”

The rest of the people in the tavern were at a loss, and the members of the Mexican Party took a general look at what looked like a leaflet, and the wine was halfway awake, and persuaded: "Isn't it nonsense that you guys are doing this?" ”

"What? Your pickets are still ready to fight us? Okay, some of you have guns, you have forgotten all your oaths, and now you want to suppress us who are unemployed and helpless? What you can't solve, aren't we allowed to solve? Just wait for the future every day! ”

As he spoke, there was another commotion outside, sounding like there were more and more people, and the sound of artillery in the distance was faintly heard, and there were bursts of impatient shouts to maintain order outside.

The man who pushed the door in was obviously impatient, and asked, "Hurry up, if you don't persuade us, we will drive your people away by force, there is no need for this." There is this lead bullet and blood, and it is used on the great speculators who are unkind to the rich. ”

"We're going to talk about it."

The man knew that there were many rules of the Mo Party, so he nodded and said, "Hurry up, two minutes." ”

After a brief discussion, the group agreed to go out and dissuade the group from retreating and not to clash, and the two quickly crossed the docks that had become a mess to relay the news back, while the other four stayed here to observe the situation.

The rest help maintain order in their own personal name and prevent possible disturbances or incidents that may take advantage of the chaos, but do not participate in any military operations, waiting for news from the city to come before making the next move.

…………

The chaos was not limited to the docks, with more than 300 cadres, more than 100 radical young men, and many people who had secretly learned how to use firearms who had participated in the last Dignity March, along with the unemployed and bankrupt who had accumulated too much discontent.

Although the plan made before has a lot of backbones, there are still some problems when it comes to action, but some of the general goals have been achieved.

Everywhere there were shouts, gunshots. With the miners' petition movement five or six years ago as a model, and many subsequent teachings, the backbone of the cadres was able to maintain order, the citizens closed their doors and windows, and there were no large-scale robberies or anything like that.

It is not clear who wins and who loses, but the market hooligans who want to take advantage of the chaos to do things see the black and red flags and those obvious armbands, and the memories of a few years ago are still there, and they understand that at this time chaos is death, no matter who wins or loses, at this time, taking advantage of the chaos to rob and set fire is to add fuel to the fire, and it is definitely the first batch to be hung on the tree.

Many people didn't know what was going on, and they didn't know what these people were going to do at night, except that there was chaos outside, and there were a few places where there was not a lot of fighting.

This kind of thing, the dead usually do not appear that night or a few days after, but will basically be concentrated in the subsequent stage of the repressive army to start a counterattack, there is not much resistance in the city, and the incident is so sudden that no one knows what is going on, and it is too late to react.

In the county guard's mansion, Yu Yuanshan, who was still the deputy county guard but was actually the county guard, didn't know what was going on, standing on a high place with his brows furrowed, but he didn't look at the places where there were occasional flashes and gunshots, but stared at the darkness.

Although there was moonlight, he still couldn't see the distance clearly, but he knew that the direction he was looking at was the Central Party Headquarters of the Mexican Party Standing in the city, which was also the place he was most worried about.

If these things are really made by that group of people, things will be in big trouble, not to mention Mincheng, I am afraid that the entire Min County will be in chaos, and he, the county guard, is afraid that he will not be able to control the situation at all.

It was at night, except for the patrols and security teams guarding the county guard's mansion, that the rest of the forces had been dispersed, and it was impossible to organize effective resistance, and if there was really something going on there, I am afraid that even if this little force in the city was organized at this time, it would be useless.

When he was anxious, a man ran back from outside, and the soldiers on guard saw that they knew each other and let him in.

Yu Yuanshan hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"I don't know."

"Is it the Mexican Party that is causing chaos?"

"This should not be, not the black flag of the Mexican Party, but the black and red flag."

"Are you sure?"

"Sure."

Hearing this, Yu Yuanshan sat down in a gaffe, and his nervous emotions suddenly relaxed, and he hurriedly said: "It's good if it's not a black flag, it's good if it's not a black flag." ”

After a few words, since what he was most worried about did not happen, his original sad state of mind suddenly relaxed a lot, and his mind regained its original flexibility and sharpness.

As long as it is not initiated by the Mexican Party, then everything is easy to solve and is under control.

After thinking about the recent situation, I guessed that it should be those unemployed and displaced people who are making trouble, but there must be someone behind the scenes. Because in the places where the gunshots and fires came, if it was just an ordinary and unorganized disorder, there would be no possibility of fighting, and those people would choose to attack the county guard and the council as soon as possible. Because there are battles going on in those places, it's clear that these people have a purpose and someone is organizing behind the scenes, but it's not led by the Mexican party, so it's much simpler.

"Come on, light torches, and hang out all the oil lamps and lanterns you can find."

The soldiers on guard carried out the order, and some of them were puzzled, and they didn't explain it. If it is an uprising, then there will definitely be appeals, and generally will not choose to attack the county guard and council - this is the bottom line, if you are forced to live, according to some of the burning books at the time of the founding of the country, this is always excusable. However, if you invade the county guard and the council and kill the members of the council and the county guard, you will declare yourself an enemy of the powerful machine of violence of the republic, and it will be war, and it cannot be explained by circumstances. Killing officials is rebellion, and not killing officials is just a cry of despair, which can be saved in the eyes of state power.

He is betting that these people don't have the courage, because since there is an organization, then there must be people who are very aware of the consequences of doing so, and the majesty of the republic is still there, and basically no one dares to challenge the bottom line. The same is true of the low-level hired labor uprising a few decades ago, even if they occupy the city, they still won't touch the things that symbolize the bottom line of the state's power, because they know how strong the country is, and this is not a small city-state republic.

The upper echelons are also willing to incite the urban class to fight in the middle, and sometimes appropriate arson is also a way to maintain the politics of the extended family.

This kind of thing has been seen less in recent years, but there are a lot of books and family inheritance. The only thing that Yu Yuanshan found difficult to deal with was the group of people in the Mo Party who were completely different from the past, and many of them could not be used, but they should definitely be able to deal with the rest with ease.

After calming down, Yu Yuanshan understood that what he could rely on at this time was the group of people who were usually the most worried and the most guarded against. Far water can't quench the thirst of the near, and it still takes time for the army to suppress it, and what is needed now is to stabilize the situation, delay time, and clarify the situation.

Calling four people, he commanded: "Two horsebacks, immediately rush to the central party headquarters of the Mexican Party, and ask them if they know what is happening." If they're in a meeting, just wait there for their news and ask them to send a representative here. The two rode out of the city, went to the barracks, and told the garrison not to act rashly, wait for news from here, and don't force the current neutral group of people to the bottom line. ”

After saying that, he hurriedly wrote a few words, took out the seal letter and printed it, and then hid the seal letter in a place where no one could see it, pondering the requests that might be heard, and the excuse of delaying the time to wait for the army to assemble and suppress it.
