"Hit someone!"

"Hit hit! Call back......"

"Monarchs of the Eastern Forest, the time has come to defend the Holy Sect!"

Yu Chengzhang's beating seemed to have turned into a signal of escalating conflict, and at the moment when the scholar fell, a shouting sound rang out over the Imperial City Square. It was a righteous gentleman who shouted and beaten, but it was the working masses found by the Jishi Youth Party who rolled up his sleeves and rushed forward to fight. It's a pity that it's not the gentleman who directs the villain to beat others, but the gentleman who is beaten by the villain.

Countless working people, with no one to command, rushed towards the sparse Donglin Party members one by one. I don't know how many there are! They also shouted slogans loudly, and smashed their fists into the heads and faces of the gentlemen. The more powerful ones simply kicked over a soldier, pressed him to the ground, and beat him with no head or face.

Yu Chengzhang was also ridden by a big worker with a Shandong accent, and scolded while beating back: "His grandmother, what kind of gentry do you dare to call a poor sour, what kind of gentleman are you?" Do you have a reputation? Are you an official? Who are you and how much do you earn a year? How is it to have my Wu Qi? ”

This Shandong man Wu Qi's hands are not black, much worse than Wu Song, don't look at the fist raindrops falling on Cheng Zhang's body, but what really makes him feel severe pain is his heart - he has no fame, no official body, no money, even the only 15 acres of land have been pawned out of 1o acres, and the remaining 5 acres will probably be sold soon, and when the time comes, the family will not even have food to eat, what kind of gentry is he! Thinking of the sadness, Yu Chengzhang suddenly burst into tears. This scene made Wu Qi, who beat people, a little inexplicable, and muttered "It's not a heavy fight" and let him go to find someone else to fight.

At this time, the scene on the entire Imperial City Square was already chaotic, and it was all scenes of group fights and martial arts.

The Donglin scholars who walked in the forefront were the first to be unlucky, not only were they few in number, but also in loose formation, which could not stop the crowd of the working masses at all. There were a few brave men with banners. Fight with a placard or whatever you can get your hands on. But more people were panicking, shouting, screaming, and running in all directions in a panic.

Xu Gengshen, the leader of the scholars, was also stunned by this sudden upheaval. He didn't think of these bitter men (I really don't know who is bitter?). Dare to really beat people, this is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, is there any royal law?

"Mr. Xu, let's go, let's go......"

The scholars around Xu Geng were also smart, seeing that the signs were not good, and they knew that they couldn't suffer the losses in front of them, so they hurriedly ran away with Xu Geng.

"Nope! I'm not going anywhere, I'm going to petition the Son of Heaven, I'd rather die than leave......" Xu Geng roared solemnly. But let the cronies around him run away.

"Protect Mr. Xu, let Mr. Xu go first......" Weng Tongshu saw Xu Geng being carried over in the chaos, and hurriedly followed, shouting and running together. He knows a little bit about it, and it doesn't matter if the scholar is beaten by coolies today. If the scholars bluffed the coolies away, Emperor Zhu might have to let the guards come forward!

Li Hongzao and Sun Jianai also fled under the escort of several strong men, and this defeat had long been expected by them, but even if they failed, the goal had been achieved. The brand of the three gentlemen of Donglin has been played! As long as the Ming Emperor does not intend to really get rid of the gentry and rely only on the bourgeoisie, even if they cannot become officials, a member of the Constituent Assembly can always be elected! This is better than spending a lifetime in the Qingshui Yamen......

Some are on the run. Some people were being beaten, some people had already been beaten to the ground, and some people stood on the Hongwu Gate in a daze--this kind of thing was not uncommon for scholars to be beaten, and in the past there was a very humiliating system of court rods in the former Ming Dynasty. In the early years of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the whips of the Eight Banners also greeted the heads and faces of the scholars. But as it is today, tens of thousands of scholars who read the books of the sages were beaten by a group of coolies hired by merchants for money. But it's the first time ever!

That's not a good idea, is it?

"Your Majesty, it's almost over, if you continue to fight, you will die!" Queen Luo Xiangmei couldn't bear it, and opened her mouth to beg for mercy for the scholars.

"Fat boy, what do you think?" Zhu Jishi did not answer. Instead, he asked about the prince Zhu Guojie next to him.

"Father, the matter of politics, not fighting in the court, not arguing in the house, but fighting in the street, such a thing is really not a blessing for the country."

Zhu Jishi nodded, this kid is also a junior high school student in later generations, it is really not easy to have such insight, it seems that the education of Huangcheng Public School is still very successful.

"Fat boy, you don't understand now, street fights are sometimes political, because temples and houses are not accessible to the general public. And this street is accessible to everyone! ”

Zhu Jishi paused, turned his head to look at the group of civil officials with pale faces, and continued to say eloquently: "In the past, this world was shared by kings and scholars, with the king at the top, the scholars at the middle, and the people at the bottom. The people were confined to the land and were based on agriculture, and the scholars occupied large tracts of land and controlled the people, and the imperial court gave the scholars all kinds of privileges called the scholars. In this way, the world can naturally maintain surface stability, and the whole world is like a pool of stagnant water, year after year, until the scholars can no longer suppress the people, it is time to change the dynasty. But now the way of the world has changed, industry and commerce are booming, and the common people are no longer based on agriculture, but live in large numbers in the cities, so that the gentry living in the countryside naturally have no way to control them as firmly as before. Today's events, the root is here! ”

Zhu Guojie asked with some puzzlement: "Can you let the people go back to the countryside again?" ”

Zhu Jishi smiled and said: "If you want the people to return to the countryside, you must suppress industry and commerce, but now the world's great powers are all prosperous countries of industry and commerce, and I must also show industry and commerce if I want to be strong in the world." Moreover, for my royal family, the common people in the countryside are with the scholars and doctors, and the industrial and commercial prosperity is with the business gentry, so what is the difference? ”

"Share the world with the business gentry...... Zhu Guojie nodded silently, remembered his father's teachings, and stopped asking questions.

"Your Majesty, it's almost!" At this time, the right prime minister, Luo Zenan, finally couldn't hold his breath and said, "Now it's not the business that is fighting the gentry, but the people who are fighting the gentry!" ”

Zhu Jishi's face froze slightly, as if he had thought of something wrong, but in a blink of an eye, he covered it up, waved his hand and said: "I know, come here, send an order to Ren Yijiang, the commander of the Guards, and let the Guards go out to clean up the situation!" ”

If the two groups of people who were fighting in the square had clairvoyance, they would not have the strength to fight now. Because inside the Hongwu Gate, there were already large groups of guards with loaded guns and ammunition waiting for them! Since Zhu Jishi dared to let people come to the Imperial City Square to make trouble, he was naturally ready to send troops to clear the scene, otherwise who knows if the situation will turn into a revolution once it gets out of control?

Hongwumen was pushed away with a creak, and the soldiers of the brigade poured out. Now it's the turn of the supporters of the Jishbaab to run away - peaceful petitions are a right granted to citizens by the Ming Constitution, but street fighting is illegal, and if caught, they will be punished!

"Run, run! Officers and soldiers are coming! ”

"Hurry up, don't stay here!"

Now the members of the Jishi Youth Party are in command, and when they saw the guards coming out of the Hongwu Gate, they immediately gave the order to retreat. They are here to beat the Donglin gentleman today, but they are not here to overthrow the ** dynasty......

The Guards who came out to clear the field also moved surprisingly slowly, beating military music and beating drums, as if they were participating in a parade, and by the time they lined up outside the Hongwu Gate, the crowd hired by the Jishi Youth Party had already run almost as far as they could. On the Imperial City Square, there was only a group of soldiers who were knocked to the ground, calling there with blue noses and swollen faces, and a few even worse didn't even make a sound, I don't know if they were knocked out or killed?

Yu Chengzhang is also a member of this group of unlucky Donglin scholars, he is slightly different from the others, he is crying, crying......
