Good people are epochal, and a slightly more normal modern political party cannot be defined by simple good or bad. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Good and bad are a broadly applicable criterion for all, and in this sense, only conservatives are closer to the "good guys" when the old and the new intersect.

For example, those who rebelled against slave owners and did not work well were certainly not good people at that time; In the feudal era, those who rebelled against the royal power and said that everyone was equal were certainly not the good people at that time, but the rebels.

If the whole world were "good people", then there would be no progress in the times, and morality would always be mixed with morality that the ruler wants you to abide by, and use this to divide the criteria for good and bad.

If you can't take it out, you can only fall into the cycle of eternal fall. Those who "martyr" when cutting braids must be good people, and those who oppose beating their daughters to death when they are not allowed to wrap their little feet must also be good people.

The words shouted in the mining area that we are political parties and not good people have actually announced a break with the old era, but they are hidden too deeply, and they are not shouted directly and fruitlessly.

The pickets could not all be good people who did not harm the lives of ants, and the methods used could never be so magnificent.

During the four days of ultimatum, the mine owners tried everything they could to break up the striking miners, and the head of the hired workers' association fought back.

The mine owner found some acquaintances of the miners, and these acquaintances persuaded the striking miners, hoping that they would not go astray and give each other face for the sake of the acquaintances.

While continuing to publicize public opinion, the pickets surrounded these people and asked them if their faces were worth everyone's lives, forcing them to leave with red faces.

The mine owners shouted that as long as they went down the mine, as long as some miners left the union, dismantled the planks, and went down into the mine, there was no need to work, as long as they went on strike for a day, they would have a hundred copper to be taken every day.

The pickets stood at the entrance to the mine, mobilized the miners to insult those who took the money as traitors, opened a small crack in the entrance of the mine, smashed those who wanted to climb out inside, and then stuffed those who wanted to climb in to make money after persuasion, and resealed the planks.

The mine owner hired a gunman and declared that he wanted to kill the head of the hired workers' association, and even if he couldn't die today, he would find an opportunity to kill him later. Anyone who bounces happily with the Employees' Association will surely take revenge in the future.

The pickets also issued a statement that they would either expel everyone because there were still hidden members of the Mexican Party among the miners. In the future, if something happens to the person in charge of the employees' association, this side will also take revenge, and the whole family will blow up and kill the chickens and dogs.

The mine owners hired hooligans, disguised as striking workers, to rob and set fire to the town, causing panic.

The pickets quickly sent someone to catch the hooligans, hang them upside down from a tree with ropes, and after a day of exhibition, they were sent to the sheriff.

The two sides are facing each other, seeing the moves, and not giving in to each other. The mine owners really have nothing to do, the pickets have weapons in their hands, and the hired thugs who really want to fight are not necessarily the opponents who are organized on the opposite side.

In addition, the thugs used to face one or two troublesome employees, and they really didn't deal with the miners who were organized together.

By the day of the ultimatum, the mine owners had refused to sign the demands of the workers' union.

Some miners in Nan'an County have other ideas, while others elsewhere who have little connection with Chen Jian are worried about the coal mine alliance. They are still sure that they will win, and once they only sign it, they will definitely be united and excluded by the rest of the people afterwards.

The idea of the employees is much simpler, the union is the backbone, they do whatever they want, and they can eat every day at the point, and they will not be stuck in the neck.

Under this stalemate, by noon on December 18, all the employees of the mining area were on the road to Mincheng to strike and petition.

This time it was far more powerful than before, no longer coming together spontaneously out of anger, but an organized unified command behind the scenes.

How to march, when to rest, which way to take, what time to eat, how to count the number of people, how to break through or bypass obstacles......

It has been rehearsed countless times on paper as early as a month ago, and this is not a war, so there is no need to worry about being broken by the enemy individually, because they will be gathered together outside of Mincheng.

It was not without encounters with some patrols of sheriffs or small groups of soldiers on the road, and they did not stop them after unsurprisingly negotiating.

This is a situation that Chen Jian has already foreseen, and the first thing he saw when he opened his eyes in this life was that his father was accepting bribes and listening to his father talk about the mentality of the military and officialdom today.

These sheriffs or petty officers will not take the initiative to do such unordered things, ask if they are not making trouble in their own towns and villages or on the ground under their jurisdiction, they wish that these people would leave quickly, so that their subordinates will not stop them.

In addition, the Mo Party is very powerful, and there are some dangerous radicals in it, who provoke it for the sake of others, and it is themselves who suffer, and there is basically no hope of promotion anyway.

The leading hirers' associations have also come up with various legal provisions to prove that the actions of these people do not constitute rebellion, and there are sufficient reasons for this to be argued, and if they are really investigated in the future, it will be ridiculous.

In this way, by December 24, the day after the new year, nearly 2,000 miners, coal mine transporters, slender men, pulverized coal workers, coal washers, etc., gathered outside the city of Fujian.

After counting the number of people, it was determined that all the people who had followed the departure had arrived, and all the Mexican Party members in the city had joined the petitioning procession, and at the same time some dock workers and full-time off-duty pickets were mobilized.

Thousands, enough pickets were allocated to maintain order, to fight "be people!" Don't be a brute! The banners, shouting slogans, marched towards the council in Mincheng.

…………

Mincheng, the city has been chaotic for many days.

People didn't know what was going on at first, but 10 days ago suddenly the price of coal skyrocketed, and there was no coal available.

It's winter, and even though it's not cold in Fujian, many industries still need coal as fuel, including some family workshops.

For a while, many industries in Mincheng could not operate normally, but the people in the city did not know what was going on.

There were problems in the market, especially after the normal life of some wealthy merchants and workshop owners was affected first, and the officials in Mincheng began to get busy.

Shi Ming, a commercial officer, thought that these businessmen were preparing to speculate and raise prices, and he was extremely dissatisfied.

One is that the butt of the orchid trend has not been wiped clean before, and he is now unable to protect himself, and he has bribed a lot of money from above, but it is still unknown whether to pursue it, and it is said that the capital has sent someone to investigate secretly here.

There are not only the clear imperial history, secret investigators, wind collectors, etc., but also the black-clothed guards sent secretly, and it has not been clear how to deal with them so far.

Moreover, according to the unspoken rules of the past, even if it is to raise prices, you must first discuss it secretly with him, a commercial officer, dividends are essential, and this time I didn't say hello, which clearly felt that I was infected with the incident and didn't take myself seriously.

Under the two angers, he found the big merchant in the city who had the ability to control it, and asked what was going on.

However, the businessmen were also confused, and kept saying that they really didn't know, not that they were driving up prices, but that no coal had been transported from the Minhe River in the past few days.

Mincheng is a county that sells coal, and even though the internal transportation costs are not low, it is still profitable to ship it to the rest of the counties by sea at the wharf, and the cost of shipping is lower than the cost of overland routes that have not been built on a large scale.

This also determines that there are almost no coal ships to Mincheng, and even if there are those who try to make this money, it will be difficult to gain a foothold under the suppression of the previous coal trade association.

All the coal was transported along the Min River, and the merchants at first thought that there was just something wrong upstream, but several nearby coal yards did not bring it, and the commercial officials came to them again, and these people finally understood that something had happened.

When the people sent back the news of the strike in the mines near Minjun, it was already December 20, and a lot of things happened in Mincheng, and in the end, the root cause was finally found.

On this day, the Central Party Department of Mexico published a tabloid newspaper to officially announce the occurrence of the miners' joint petition, and the whole city of Fujian was shocked.

For the first time, the Mexican Party, as a non-philanthropic person, announced its existence to the entire Mincheng, to the capital and the entire coastal counties of China, which would soon receive news, and announced that the hired class had begun to enter the political arena, and that they must and must have a place on it.

And by the time the officials of Mincheng got all this news, it was already too late, and they missed the opportunity to divide and disintegrate from the source - this was the last opportunity that could be divided and disintegrated from the source, and if they were missed, there would be no more. Once the coal, iron and shipping conglomerate with the Nan'an Canal as the hub monopolized the coal mining industry in Mincheng, the more concentrated employment unions made it easier to organize.

The panicked and panicked Mincheng officials, on the one hand, asked the garrison to rush to Mincheng immediately, and on the other hand, asked the sheriff to organize a team, plus a small force nearby, to block the hired men who were rushing towards Mincheng.

However, there are still differences of opinion among officials, and no one wants to take responsibility, because this matter is too big, and no one knows whether it will be attacked once it is done.

So the officials came up with a clever idea: leave it to the sheriff and the nearby garrison, and act cheaply and deal with it on the spot.

These eight words have a lot of articles, and it is also clear that they are not going to take the blame for the sheriff and the garrison.

Handling it properly is the planning of the officials. Mishandled was the failure of the sheriff and the garrison to deal with it.

What is appropriate? What is improper? There is no way to define.

If these people rushed into Mincheng and caused chaos in the city, it was mishandled.

If there is a bloody conflict and a large number of employees die and there is an uproar in public opinion, it is also mishandled.

When the ranks of hired men came outside the city, the garrison was overwhelmed, and the officers did not know what to do.

On the one hand, he shouted emotionally from a distance, and left the garrison a hundred paces away very well, leaving room for the garrison to shoot.

On the other hand, there were pickets in the city who brought out all kinds of consolation goods and meat, saying that if the garrison was here like this, they would definitely be hungry, so they would eat some together and wait slowly.

The garrisons were not given clear orders, this was not a battlefield, and the garrison of Minjun, although not from Mincheng, were mostly homeless citizens rather than yeoman farmers, and they were sympathetic to the plight of these hired laborers.

After an hour of stalemate, the Mexican party went to the army to contact them, and both sides were satisfied with the results.

As long as Mincheng is not chaotic, then the garrison has no responsibility, so the garrison does not move outside the city, and the people organized by the sheriff work with the pickets to maintain order in Mincheng, as long as Mincheng is not chaotic and no bad incidents occur, then the sheriff has no responsibility, and it is not only meritorious to be able to keep Mincheng not chaotic in such a big incident.

These thousands of people united with the wharf workers in the city and entered the city in a mighty way.

The merchants of the city would have been frightened if they had faced this situation in the past. This situation is sure to be more robberies and the like.

However, after these days of publicity and advance preparation, merchants have turned a blind eye to this and are operating normally.

There are vigilantes patrolling the streets along with pickets with red armbands to keep the streets stable. There is a warning from the hooligan leader in the dark, and in the past few days, it is not allowed to rob, steal, forcibly solicit customers, gamble on the street, and other things.

Some of those who were not suitable for the gangsters wanted to do something, and the pickets rushed over, and a few sticks ran away, and some places were in order, even better than the original law and order.

The sheriff was amazed, and the officers of the garrison were even more envious of the discipline of these pickets, knowing that if these men became the army, these men under their own command would never be the opponents of these people.

The petitioners staged a sit-in in front of the council, handed over the petition, and in the evening retreated quietly and orderly to the red-brick building, where food, tents, and tidying houses were prepared. The local support workers will go back to their homes to rest as normal, and tomorrow morning they will gather at the sound of spoons and go together.

Mincheng had been chaotic before, and now after these people arrived, there were only more people on the streets, and other than that, everything was as usual, even better than before these people came.

In the more than ten days that the chaos has appeared without getting accurate news, all kinds of ugliness have been staged in Mincheng, and people have become accustomed to it, and it is impossible to be more ugly.
