PS: Subscription supports genuine glorious
At about 8 o'clock in the morning of the next day, all major newspapers and periodicals published President Song Xiaofei's speech at the meeting of the Central Committee of the Baath Party. Although some newspapers reported on the student demonstrations, most of them reported according to the unified voice of the Central Committee of the Baath Party, that is, the press release provided by Nguyen Trung Shu, secretary general of the Presidential Office: "Expert Wu Xuyou believes that in my opinion, the biggest problem of the student demonstrations is not that they directly affect normal traffic and social life, and destroy the commercial atmosphere of the Chinese Empire. In my opinion, the biggest problem is that it challenges the rule of law in our country, and it actually disrupts the basic order that should exist as a society governed by the rule of law and a democratic society, which is its greatest harm and destructiveness. We should realize that the specific practices of all countries that practice democratic elections are different in the world, from system design to procedures, from participation to representativeness, and from Western countries are also different. There are not many people, one vote, universal suffrage like China now, and many so-called democracies have not yet had direct elections, nor do they have one person, one vote. More importantly, we must also go back to the historical context, for thousands of years, there was no democracy in China, there was no such thing as elections. Governors, governors, and prefectural magistrates are all appointed. No democratic society with the rule of law wants to express its dissatisfaction with the government with such extreme, irrational, and non-rule of law as street demonstrations. ”
There were also newspapers that distorted and intimidated the student demonstrations: "Beijing is the capital of the Chinese Empire, the political, economic, and cultural center of the Chinese Empire. Many banks, multinational financial institutions and foreign consulates are located here, which can be described as the heart and center. The students' illegal street rally actions to force the government and the Baath Party Central to accept their illegal demands are the main manifestations of street politics. Most of the participants were young students with strong blood and strong spirits, showing stronger confrontational and radical characteristics, and they could not see the sincerity, goodwill and determination of the Baath Central Committee to unswervingly promote China's democratic politics in accordance with the law, which seriously affected people's lives, transportation, business, and children's schooling. On the surface, it is the pursuit of democracy and freedom, but in fact it is also a political demand put forward by some external forces who do not want China to be strong, do not want China to develop, and do not want China's prosperity and stability to undermine China's national sovereignty, security and development interests. These students break the law, harm the country and are not good for themselves, they must be cut to the roots, and the crime of 'insulting the military and police' can be established! ”
The World Times published an editorial: "Student demonstrations will not go down in history. It will only stink for a long time: Young people have failed to meet their demands, so they have launched school strikes, demonstrations, stormed government headquarters, and even occupied and blocked streets, paralyzing traffic. It's really outrageous and unreasonable. their moves. It is completely a disruption and destruction of China's normal development order. China is a place of freedom of speech, but freedom cannot replace order, and the loss of freedom of order can lead to division. It is not a good thing for any society to fall into a division. Some scholars have compared their patriotic deeds with them, but in the end they can only laugh at their generosity and despise others, and the student demonstrations will not go down in history, but will only be remembered for 10,000 years. ”
Fang Yuzhi, Ruan Yiyong and others saw such a report from the World Times. Very angry, Nguyen Ngai Dung said: "What kind of Times is this." It's a world! He took a dozen students and rushed into the newspaper to smash and spill dung, and found Hu Minjin, the editor-in-chief of the "World Times", to settle accounts.
Hu Minjin, the editor-in-chief of the World Times, was drinking tea when he heard that some students had come in to make trouble, so he hurriedly put down his teacups and called the police, but Nguyen Yiyong and others rushed into his office. Hu Minjin was so frightened that he hid under his desk.
Ruan Yiyong pulled him out in the chest, and Fang Yuzhi and another classmate buckled the dung bucket that had been prepared on his head. There was still half a bucket of feces and urine in the dung bucket, and when his head was poured down, Hu Minjin's clothes were soaked, and his body was suddenly full of stench.
Ruan Yiyong laughed: "You five-haired dog with a frisbee, don't let me see you in the future, see you once, I will let you stink like this for 10,000 years!" ”
After saying that, he took the students and left! Only Hu Minjin, who was trembling and stinking, was left behind, looking dazed and helpless. Feng Jiahui, the chief of the Chaoyang Police Bureau in Beijing, arrived with a dozen policemen, who turned out to be Ruan Zhongshu's subordinates. The police chief tilted his face and recognized the reckless and brave young man as the favorite son of the secretary general of the presidential palace, and could not help but exclaim: 'Hey, boy, you are awesome! ’
Of course, there are also some scholars and experts who are sympathetic to students. They refused a lot of unconscionable media interviews. Overall, the distorted media reports made the students angry. They took to the streets again, and the huge procession arrived one after another in the empty field in front of the Prime Minister's Office at the Iron Lion Hutong Gate, and the number of people was more than yesterday, shouting and shouting, and the situation was extremely chaotic.
At about half past eleven, Feng Jiayu suddenly heard more than ten gunshots in Jizhao Hutong, coming from the northwest, he was taken aback, and guessed that this must have been an accident in front of the Prime Minister's Palace. He mounted a white horse, shook the reins, and galloped down the street to the Chancellery, to see what was going on.
Halfway through, Feng Jiayu met a short-haired female student who looked sixteen or seventeen years old, with a round face, big child-like eyes, and wore a light blue school uniform from a girls' middle school. At the critical moment when the white horse was about to collide with the girl, Feng Jiayu, who was riding on horseback, suddenly tightened the reins with both hands, causing the white horse to raise its front legs and stand upright in an instant.
Yuan Keren had already heard the gunshots at this time, and was rushing to the Prime Minister's Office with Duan Honggang, and happened to encounter this scene, so he pounced, knocked the female student down, and rescued the female student from under the horse's hooves.
The female student's name was Fang Jingyi, and she was a third-year student at a girls' high school. The incident happened suddenly, she was frightened, and she didn't react in Yuan Keren's arms for a long time. It was only after a half-ring that she said "thank you".
Feng Jiayu and Duan Honggang had already rushed to the front of the Prime Minister's Mansion at this time. At that time, Xu Shuzheng, commander of the Beijing Military Police Corps, had already arrived at the scene.
Duan Honggang stepped forward to ask where the gunshots were fired, and Xu Shuzheng's tone was extremely nervous, saying: "The students who marched just now insulted the soldiers in every possible way, and snatched guns with their hands, and some people carried guns and sticks, broke into the prime minister's palace, shouted death squads to advance, and threw bombs, poured kerosene and other actions. When the guards refused, they were scolded and one of them killed, and when they tried to break through the iron gate, the soldiers were forced to shoot, killing and wounding five people, including one soldier, and the rest were taken to a nearby hospital. You go back and report to him immediately. ”
Duan Honggang immediately took the military police car and rushed back to the Duan Mansion in Jizhao Hutong. After the founding of the Chinese Empire, most of the military and political dignitaries had large residences in Beijing, and some of the wealthier had rented real estate. But Duan Qirui is the most army commander, for the official incorruptible, almost no real estate in his life, after the alcohol palace was protected as a cultural relute, at this time he had a large private house in Jizhao Hutong in Beijing's Dongcheng, which was also the prince's mansion in the early years, and later abandoned and became a vacant land, Duan Qirui built a mansion there. The money for the construction of the Nanmencang Mansion was collected by his students Tian Zhongyu, Jin Yunpeng, Wei Zonghan, Chen Wenyun, etc. They thought that they had their own homes, but Mr. Duan did not have a house, and they felt embarrassed.
Duan Honggang returned to Duan's mansion and informed Duan Qirui of the tragedy, Duan Qirui learned that the guards had slaughtered the students, he was extremely sad and indignant, and sighed for a long time: "Xu Shuzheng misunderstood me!" I will clear my name and ruin it in one fell swoop! He then rushed to the scene, knelt down on the icy ground, and vowed to eat a vegetarian diet for the rest of his life. The words were extremely painful, and everyone present burst into tears.
Xu Shuzheng hurriedly stepped forward to support Duan Qirui and said to him: "The man has gold under his knees, and he only kneels down to worship his parents, why is the eldest brother like this!" These students gather to disrupt and endanger the country, which is really lawless......"
Before Xu Shuzheng's words were finished, Duan Qirui slapped him in the face, leaving several clear finger prints: "Get out!" The brotherhood between you and me is over today! You immediately go and investigate the names of the victims and give their families special treatment. ”
After speaking, Duan Qirui, who had a conscience, still knelt on the cold ground and refused to get up. (To be continued......)
