The worries of the distant mountains are not unreasonable, and the real turmoil has not yet come.

In this sudden chaos, the various currents of thought that were rampant before and the special class structure of Fujian City made this sudden flame likely to sweep everything.

And the Mexican Party, which held an enlarged meeting more than half a year ago and has the most radical vision for the future, will only be the brake rather than the accelerator if it is not divided in this change.

This is the city, not the countryside.

So there is both resentment against the old and fear of the new era.

The majority of the burghers in Mincheng are small producers, and the number of real proletarian workers is not very large, and those who have just moved from the countryside to the cities to dig rivers in the shelter factories still prefer the land, and it will take a long time to adapt to the new era.

The tax reform that has been discussed in this council has benefited the most from the small producers, and the ones who have suffered the most are the franchises and tax collectors of the old era.

And those speculators and grain merchants who eat ugly have also accumulated enough resentment from the middle and bottom levels in the past ten years.

For small production, the society they dream of will always be fair labor in exchange for fair exchange, and their hatred is more concentrated on the grain merchants, speculators, and tax franchises.

All kinds of chaotic taxes and commodity taxes have made the small producers who are the main consumers extremely dissatisfied, especially after economic theory began to dissect the internal problems, and this dissatisfaction has also deepened.

Any kind of commodity tax will eventually be added to the price of the commodity, and it seems that the merchants who pay the tax are actually those who are a large number of consumers, and then these taxes and franchisees will use these taxes in exchange for privileges and unequal votes.

In fact, the land issue and the problem of rent and interest reduction did not cause much resentment in Mincheng, and many landlords living in Mincheng had already completed the transformation, and they could obtain some tax exemptions by donating money and the like, so this matter did not affect them much.

The propaganda of the Mexican Party directly pointed the finger at those whose interests were damaged in the tax reform without evidence, which is equivalent to directly making the petty bourgeoisie the most angry class and the best allies in terms of interests.

The same is true of the issue of franchises, where many capitals are looking forward to the franchise, and even if they can't get it, they hope to compete freely, and the profits in it are too great.

The landless and the peasants who should have been most angry were given temporary jobs because of the "buy-off" policy of the Mexican Party; The hired workers under the factory system did not even have the right to vote, they could only put their demands on the agents of the Mexican Party, and for the time being, they only fought for the interests of the factory owners, coupled with the influx of landless people and the improvement of new machinery, so that some unskilled workers could also do a lot of work, and some hired workers were busy forming small groups to resist the newcomers, who were organized but were also the easiest to be controlled by the Mexican Party.

Therefore, the part of the people who are most vulnerable to getting out of control are the petty bourgeoisie of the ultra-radical utopians. They have always been passionate, and they are also the most deeply touched by tax reform, and at the same time, except for some industries where hydroelectric factories compete, the rest of the industries have had a good life in recent years because of trade and other issues, so they are the most angry about the remnants of the old era.

More money is being made, but prices are also rising.

When you make more money, you will naturally think that it is a benefit brought by the new era.

Prices are rising and taxes are not changing, which is naturally considered to be a remnant of the old era.

In fact, the inflow of silver, the large number of exports, the increase in productivity minus the amount of exports cannot keep up with the speed of silver inflow, and the rural land has not been fully transformed into the capitalist transformation and the agricultural products have not been integrated into the market on the largest scale.

But these people may not think so, and it is too far away to think so, it is far easier to blame the problem on the tax system and speculators, and of course their eating appearance is indeed too ugly, and they have not yet learned how to eat elegantly.

Anger does not necessarily happen in the poorest and most miserable places.

Anger often occurs in half-light and half-darkness.

The bright place has been touched, so everything that is good is clear, even if many people try to make them think rationally, but it is difficult to do.

The darkness has been felt, so all the bad things are darkened, even though many people try to tell them that this darkness has always been so, but the passion and brightness make them want to rebel against this darkness.

In addition to their vital interests, their unique fanaticism also gave them a romantic temperament that wanted to be saviors, and it gave birth to organizations such as the Righteous Radical Youth Association. Of course, their radicalism provided an opportunity for some of the party's détente policies.

The Mexican Party has not yet encountered a real massacre, so the moderates, idealists, and naïve factions in the party have gathered in groups, and there has not yet been a massacre to awaken them or kill the moderates, and for the time being, there is still a chance to continue to reform into a bourgeois democratic platform, until the moment when the butcher's knife comes.

As soon as the three documents signed and stamped by the Yuan Shan arrived in the streets and alleys of Mincheng, the Radical Justice Youth Association, which had nominally been disqualified from legal activities for violently bombing officials, immediately issued a statement.

"The Radical Justice Youth Society strongly supports the counterinsurgency of the Chinese people and hereby issues a statement:"

"The masterminds behind this rebellion and military coup, even the 'big names' in the capital, will do justice if they are not brought to justice."

"To fight unjust violence with just violence, this society swears to heaven that if it is confirmed, it will kill his entire family, and not one of them will be left, so that anyone who commits such acts will be restrained."

"In addition, this society is responsible for the bombing and death of the whole family of the landlord surnamed Zhou in the "Record of the Tragic Life of Tenant Farmers" on the 15th of last month. The New Mexico Party, which had betrayed justice and pursued a 'scientific future of society', suspended hostility and cooperated unanimously to quell the rebellion against the republic. ”

"But let the Provisional Committee of the Mexican Party remember that the people ultimately seek justice, not science."

As soon as this announcement was issued, two leaders of the Radical Young People's Society, who had been sentenced to "permanent exile for the rest of their lives" a few years earlier, appeared in public and called on all parties of the former Progressive League to unite against the armed rebellion that threatened progress.

Under these circumstances, of the seven provisional members of the Mexican Party who were in Mincheng at the time of the rebellion, except for one who remained at the Central Party Headquarters to be in charge of coordination, one went to Nan'an with some military cadres, two went to the front line, and the remaining three immediately contacted and negotiated with the rest of the parties of the former Progressive League in the city.

As the fighting was still going on in the distance, the various parties in front of the county guard and some of the progressive people of prestige in Mincheng quickly elected the "Second Council of the Emergency Provisional Special Committee" and formulated an eight-point program.

"First, the banks of the coastal counties shall be sealed immediately, and the temporary bailiffs shall be stationed there, and no one shall be allowed to carry precious metals. If the rebellion continues, the Bank will use the bank's gold and silver to purchase counter-insurgency bonds at the rate of 18% per annum, with no limit on the maximum amount. ”

"2. Immediately seal down the residences of speculators, tax collectors, tax collectors, and monopoly merchants, and restrict their activities. Any attempt to resist or flee while the chaos is to be considered participation in the rebellion and to be immediately detained and, if resistant, executed on the spot. ”

"Third, immediately organize the Chinese people's counterinsurgency volunteer team and seal off the grain hoarding place at the wharf. During the counterinsurgency period, all food was sold at the average price of the year and purchased with counterinsurgency bond funds. ”

"Fourth, set up a picket team during the special period, and if any person is caught committing acts of robbery, rape, theft, etc., during the rebellion, he will be punished as a crime of rebellion and hanged."

"Fifth, anyone who participates in fighting or digging barricades in this counterinsurgency, regardless of the amount of property, will receive the minimum number of votes of the people."

"Sixth, all grain stores shall not strike during the counterinsurgency period, and those who sell more than 100 percent of the lowest price of this year shall be fined by 1,000 percent of the profits."

"Seventh, the ticket-taking futures exchange is temporarily closed, and any transfer of stock futures and other activities carried out during the counterinsurgency period will not be recognized."

"VIII. A military committee of the Counterinsurgency Volunteer Corps will then be elected, and the military committee shall have the power to demolish the premises where the military council deems it necessary to build barricades, and to compensate for the damage caused by the original price. During the counterinsurgency, the Military Council took precedence over the Second Council of the County Guard and the Emergency Special Provisional Council when it came to military orders. ”

"9. The powers of the Second Emergency Provisional Special Council and the Military Commissar of the Counterinsurgency Volunteer Corps shall be lifted automatically until the rebellion is quelled, and all the above temporary special prohibitions shall be lifted at the same time."

The special program that was urgently drafted was immediately adopted in the place where the citizens gathered by singing votes hundreds of years ago, and was officially issued by Mt. Yama with a seal.

Hu Lin, who had been living in seclusion at home a year earlier and had been invited several times by Jian Chen but had not been active again, also walked out of his small building, signed his name on the special program he had drafted, and at the same time used his silver to buy counterinsurgency bonds—no bonds, only a piece of paper with numbers written on them.

He and Jian Chen did not meet, and before the drafting of these programs, Jian Chen had already taken people to these places. It was not sealed, but it was monitored, and as soon as the program was drafted and brought into effect, it was conveyed to Kuaima, and the important places in the program were immediately sealed.

The people who guard these places are the elite and the most loyal, and they are no less important here than they are on the front line.

A large number of county-owned shelter factories that dug canals and built roads were armed with a variety of tools and built barricades on these roads.

The Mexican Party stepped in, vouching for its own party assets and its consistent reputation, and without even the need to sign any decrees, a large number of houses were demolished and barricades were built where it was deemed necessary to build barricades.

The construction of barricades has long been planned, and masonry structures have already been renovated in several important areas, and the various housing renovations, slum renovations and the design of several new landmark buildings that began ten years ago basically have a latent military purpose for future urban barricade warfare.

When the miners' petition broke out many years ago, Hu Lin stood on the central party headquarters of the Mexican Party and saw the purpose of the masonry buildings and square streets, although it was not explicitly stated in these years, but the houses and streets that the Mexican Party or potential Mexican Party were responsible for were inevitably mixed with preparations for a future uprising.

The barricades were made of masonry and wood, and the height of the breastwork was not to block the street, but to leave a gap in the middle for striking and counterattacking, and it could be blocked with beams at any time.

The houses on both sides of the barricades will also be staffed by a number of national volunteers, who will harass the enemy from the flanks.

Although the number of cannons hidden in the city was much higher than that of the suppressed army, and there were young gunners who were superior to the army, in order to minimize the threat of the opposing artillery, the barricades were also built in the front half of the street in the direction of attack.

If the enemy's artillery wants to bombard the barricades, it must be fired directly, and the barricades are built in the front half of the street to ensure that the cannons will be fired by muskets when they appear, and it is also convenient for the youth grenadiers to use the houses to go around and seize the cannons.

If the enemy captures the barricades, the artillery deployed in the back half of the street can launch a counterattack.

These things prepared in advance mean that there is never a fantasy of bloodlessness.
