Chapter XVII: Riots

Once you've stood up, it's hard to kneel down again. The pen is not only www.biquge.info knees, but also the heart.

When this desperate cry resounded in Yucheng, the situation that Jian Chen wanted to see the most appeared. Instead of believing in the conscience of the council, these workshop workers did not wait for compromise, but chose the most direct means of violent resistance.

It is necessary for some people to realize the true strength of others so that they can make the right choice, even if it is just a reluctant compromise.

The black-clothed guard who led the capture was swept to the ground by an angry crowd, and years of training allowed him to stab a man before he fell to the ground, only to be knocked to the ground and his hands tied together.

The small number of Xia Cheng people didn't expect that this group of people not only did not flinch after seeing the blood, but rushed over like crazy.

After a while, the people of Xia Cheng were scattered by five times their own people, and the opponent not only had the courage of blood and energy, but also more than a year of military training, and they cooperated well.

The black-clothed guard who was bound scolded: "You are looking for death!" It's riots! It's going to kill your head! ”

The angry workshop worker scolded back: "Killing the head is death, isn't waiting to go to the gallows to die?" ”

And those low-level Chinese people in Xia City who worked with them were a little blank in their hearts, they didn't know what they were fighting for, and the propaganda on weekdays was completely different, which made their heads a little confused.

These workshop workers are not Yidi, nor do they want to destroy Yucheng, they just want to maintain the original rules of Yucheng. Are they doing it wrong? If they weren't right, was the council wrong?

The name is not right, but there is also the friendship of weekday work, and I was at a loss for a while. The workshop workers did not embarrass these people, and after disarming them, they only let them get together, did not beat or slaughter, and even helped each other to bandage their wounds.

Although Ze was still bleeding, he did not worry about his life, and at this time weakly walked in front of everyone and said: "We are not against Yucheng, but against changing the rules of the council at will. We believed in them, but what did we get in return? In exchange for the spear that was like a forest after a night, in exchange for the whipping of the leather whip! This time we don't trust them anymore, we only trust the rules. ”

He pointed to those Xia Cheng people: "It was you who broke the rules, and it was you who destroyed Yucheng!" ”

Those low-level Xia Cheng people said with some grievances: "We are just implementing the resolution of the council, Ji Xia has given up the right to be the leader for the sake of rules, and we don't know what this is for." ”

Ze nodded, turned around and said, "These people have worked with us, living and working together for more than a year, even if the two dogs have a friendship, let alone people?" Let's not embarrass them, they have done nothing wrong in carrying out the decisions of the council. ”

The workshop workers agreed with this method, and it was really difficult to get started, not because they were cowardly, but because many familiar faces were as black as they were, and this was the person who had worked with them.

At this time, a puff of smoke rose near the dock, and even from this distance, it could be seen, and several leaders glanced at each other and secretly clenched their fists, it seemed that there was already a move over there.

When everyone was at a loss for what to do with the simple weapons, Ze said again: "Everyone, other workshops are afraid that the same is true, now everything is chaotic, but other workshops can stop, but our iron-smelting workshop can't stop." Let's stop, and the smelting furnace will be scrapped. ”

"Since Yucheng can't accommodate us, let's leave. But before we leave, we need to get back what belongs to us. For example, ploughshares, hoes......"

"Let's leave Yucheng, let's live the same life as Onozawa back then, and let these Yucheng people smelt by themselves. Before leaving, we have to smelt our future farming tools for ourselves, which is for ourselves. ”

"Now, half of the people take up arms and prepare for the counterattack of the Yucheng people, and the other half of the people pick up the iron fan and carry the ore, let's continue to smelt."

He looked at the smelting furnace with some gloom, remembered the bits and pieces of the past two years, and sighed: "I like it here, I like the taste here, and I like the sound of the trumpet here." But none of this compares to wanting to be a human being, and if I can't be a human being, I'd rather give up all this I like. ”

Speaking of the back, it is inevitable that it is sad, these workshop workers look at everything they have built with their own hands, quite unbearable, but thinking of this situation, they finally removed their eyes and stopped looking, just thinking about not letting this all ruin.

So someone walked up to the group of Xia Cheng people and squatted down and said, "We're leaving, when we leave, you stay here and don't let the furnace go out, otherwise all the iron slag will be condensed in the furnace, and the furnace will be finished." ”

Those Xia Cheng people nodded vigorously, and couldn't help but ask, "Go?" Where are you going? ”

"Go to a place where you can be a human being."

Ze stood up covering the wound on his chest, took one last look at the iron furnace, threw down the iron fan in his hand, clenched it and grabbed a short go, and did not look back to stand with half of the people, just like military training at the end of the month and the beginning of the month.

Only this time, their spears were not aimed at the straw man, but at Yucheng, which was separated by an inland river.

…………

At the same time as the riot in the smelting division began, those who had not gone to work due to illness appeared in the workshops at the same time.

Those who were hidden and unknown to the informants began to agitate propaganda, and those who had been trained by Jian Chen to teach what these people were fighting for gave the most practical reason why they did not need to be deceived by lies: to stop being slaves.

The operation began almost simultaneously, and after establishing the fact that the rules had changed and the arrest had begun, the group first took control of the informants on the list, all of whom were tied up with ropes.

The congregation thought people were stupid and cowardly, but they ignored the organization that had always existed within the workshopworkers, and even more so the least likely of them to betray the vested interests.

The resistance to the arrest was fierce and swift, and those who had taken sick leave quickly came to the area of the dock warehouse after hearing the movement from the smelting department.

More than 30 core members, most of the workshop workers of the Transportation Division, took the lead in cutting the wooden bridge over the waterway, occupying the dock, and expelling the people of Xiacheng near the dock.

Subsequently, according to the usual training of a team of 100 people, the entire transportation department connected with the port porters to organize a team of 600 people, relying on the allocated wooden poles to form a formation.

Two hundred-man teams were responsible for guarding the waterways and guarding against the support of the Xiacheng people; The remaining four quickly surrounded the arsenal and grain warehouse.

There were only thirty Xiacheng people guarding the grain warehouse, and in the face of the menacing workshop workers, these Xiacheng people did not retreat.

Their task was to guard the granary, and no one could take it without an order from the Planning and Statistics Division, and they were fearless even in the face of a tenfold enemy.

The other side also showed terrible courage, even though the wooden poles in their hands did not have spearheads at all, but with neat steps in response to feathered arrows and bronze swords, the battle began in the narrow terrain.

The first casualties of the civil strife occurred in the granaries and arsenals, and the people of Xiacheng were killed in the battle, and the rest were captured. Eight people were killed and more than 30 wounded.

He then lit a bonfire in front of the arsenal and piled up wet grass, and the smoke rising was a sign that the rest of the workshops had succeeded.

Soon after, the rest of the workshops also lit smoke, and the workshop workers came in order to receive a large number of spears that Chen Jian had already piled up here.

After taking control of the most important places, the two ships on the dock left and went to the farms and mines, where they contacted the hired farmers and workshop workers.

A year ago, more than a dozen people had been sent to the mines and farms for various reasons, which was also acquiesced by Chen Jian.

In less than half a day, the entire workshop area and the dock warehouse area were controlled by the workshop workers, and the entire Yucheng was divided in half by the wide waterway in the middle.

On the other side of the waterway, Chen Jian didn't care, and let the people of the council toss. Dispersal arrests and unanticipated revolts allowed the outnumbered workshopmen to quickly win on the other side of the waterway, and even made a posture to storm the government hall, which made the council very nervous, and mobilized a limited number of mobile forces to prepare for the defense, only to make a false alarm.

This false alarm bought time for the workshop workers on the other side, and the leaders lurking in each workshop quickly organized the people. The women began to dig in the earth to build a breastwork, and the narrow streets that were divided by the waterways became more difficult to penetrate.

In the face of this false alarm, the mishandling of the system of the noble council was even more unmistakable, and the response of the remnants of this clan alliance in the face of unexpected situations did not damage the prestige of Chen Jian in the slightest, only revealing their incompetence.

In just half a day, the conspirators who were originally full of confidence were already gloomy.

Their plan was perfect, and as long as the first step was done, the rest seemed to fall into place.

In their opinion, it is easy to capture a few people, and when there are slaves in the rest of the cities who resist, as long as they catch the leader and kill those slaves, they will be safe for a while.

This is the simplest step to weaken Chen Jian's prestige, their plan is grandiose, guessing many possibilities of failure, but never thinking that the first step will fail.

In the face of such chaos, they have nothing to do. Chen Jian threw away the rights, and they picked them up, thinking that they could soar into the sky, but they didn't expect to let the people only realize the stupidity and short-sightedness of the old council.

Perhaps in other cities, rights cannot be thrown around, and once they are thrown away, it is difficult to pick them up. But here, Chen Jian didn't care at all, because the social form here was completely different from the rest of the cities, and what he learned from other cities was not applicable here at all, and it would only be counterproductive.

It's time for the clan aristocratic council system left over from the clan era to completely roll out of the Xiacheng system, it's time to completely deprive them of their rights, and it's time to clear all internal obstacles for the future.

Killing people, too, seems to be the easiest way. Chen Jian has military power, he obeys the rules only in disguise, others believe in him but can change his morality at any time.

But he is too lazy to kill, because killing is not educational, and it will leave sequelae, and he will have to face more difficult military aristocrats in the future.

Therefore, it is better to kill than to punish the heart.

And the heart is hidden in the belly, and only by letting their hearts be exposed can they be punished. If you want to let them show their hearts, right is the best lapel. (To be continued.) )
