"History is always full of questions and coincidences, and whenever we look at that period of history, China will fall into division, and people will always have all kinds of arguments, and supporters believe that China in the 12th year of the empire is the country facing the extreme tension between labor and management in the early days of the industrial revolution, the legislation of labor and capital regulation cannot keep up, the ideal of the proletarian revolution has just been born, what happened in Russia seems to be a cure for all problems, plus China abandoned its traditional allies and entered the First World War, As a result, the people in the country are generally in trouble. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 The Republicans at the time were full of all kinds of apoliticalism, and what they did was partly public propaganda and agitation against war and revolution, even the other part of the bomb-dropping underground terror. So what is before China is how to stop this, and perhaps, what happened on that day is unacceptable, but people will say that although it is not perfect in terms of procedure, and the country and the people have paid the price for it, it has proved to be effective, and if everything is not stopped, then in China, there may be a September Revolution, and maybe even a new revolution, and eventually, everything in China will be swallowed up by a flood. History has finally proved how correct His Majesty's decision was, ensuring the long-term peace and stability of the country at the lowest cost, those people just chose the wrong way at the wrong time, fought for the right power, and a series of mistakes eventually led to another mistake, but for the country, this is lucky.

However, in the face of this view, others will ask a clear question: Where was the saintly, wise, correct, visionary, and history-making saint in those fifteen days?

Why wasn't he able to step up and stop it before it got worse? If Guan Mingtang had contacted His Majesty back then, and if the cabinet had been able to play a role and make some concessions, would it be possible for the situation to develop out of control?

In the end, what does China get? Who is the biggest beneficiary of it all? When we look back on history, what we can see is a series of conspiracies, and it is those conspiracies that lead to a series of tragedies, and the victims are always those innocent people! In the end, the people and the country paid the price, but it benefited the royal family, which we now see as a national symbol! ”

One Hundred Years of Empire

Where is the Emperor?

What is the Emperor doing?

Ten days after the strike and protests, people were surprised to see that His Majesty did not respond to the protests, but after the Wuxi incident, His Majesty sent a telegram asking the Cabinet to thoroughly investigate the truth.

After that, His Majesty seemed to have disappeared, ceased to exist, and the outside world could no longer hear from His Majesty, as if there were no protests in China at all, as if the situation in the country was now extremely stable, and perhaps as he said, "I believe that the Cabinet will make the right decision." ”。

At the same time, the queen, crown prince and other members of the royal family who originally took refuge in the Purple Mountain Royal Annex, took refuge in the Villa, and in the face of the chaos in Nanjing, for the first time, the Royal Annexed Garden was closed, and even the Purple Mountain began to implement temporary military control, and the First Division of the Royal Guards Army stationed under the Purple Mountain blocked the entire mountainous area to avoid outside interference to the "Royal Summer Resort".

But for the students and the working class in Nanking, the last ten days seemed to be a sign of peaceful demonstrations, as well as the gathering of proletarian forces around the National Strike Committee.

Mass meetings were being held everywhere in the workers' quarters of Nanjing, and workers and young students flocked to these mass meetings like a frenzy to speak their minds freely, and the speeches of those who spoke began to slowly change from the initial demand for severe punishment of the real culprits and the investigation of the truth, to the implementation of a comprehensive constitutional government and the establishment of a responsible cabinet for the National Assembly, and even some radical young people shouted a new demand when they spoke.

“…… We demand that a referendum be held on the Chinese national system! Build a true republic! ”

This demand, like an almost earth-shattering demand, was no less than a thunderclap for a country accustomed to the emperor, and although it did not have widespread support, it still stunned many people, especially the members of the lower house of parliament who had been sitting idly by.

For the members of the House of Representatives, especially those of the Constitutional Myoke Party, they may have been willing to remain silent or neutral at first, and only a very small number of members participated in the march and sided with the march, but now, when they read the declaration in the newspapers and leaflets "Calling for a referendum on the national system", they realized with horror that if the National Assembly could not play its role, then it is very likely that everything that happened in Russia could be played out in China.

The parliament must be the leader of the demonstrations and protests, and only in this way can the country be averted from chaos, but there are also serious divisions within the parliament, first of all, the House of Lords, whose decorated nobles stand clearly on the side of the royal family, who refuse to meet with the strikers, and who are still unwilling to make any concessions, even in the House of Commons, where the vast majority of royalist MPs also believe that concessions cannot be made because of demonstrations, and that negotiations between the political axe and the people must be based on the premise that the demonstrations should be ended.

In the end, hundreds of members of the lower house of parliament had to stand on the side of the demonstrators in their personal capacity to act as a bridge between the demonstrators and the political axe, and at the same time to restrain the demonstrations as much as possible, so that everything could be controlled.

But can the situation in Nanjing be controlled?

People clearly see that with the expansion of the scale of demonstrations, especially the emergence of workers' pickets, as the workers' pickets went to the streets to "maintain order", which directly led to the conflict between the police and the police, and this intensified the contradiction between the two, after the conflict between the police and the workers' pickets, the 30,000 capital policemen who did not get the authorization of force, and at the same time received the strict order of the cabinet to "not harm civilians", unfortunately became the losing side under the violence of the masses, and the police were defeated in the streets, which directly led to Nanjing beginning to fall into a state of no political axe. Even the political axe began to be paralyzed.

For China, the huge country, the paralysis of the capital is almost unthinkable. And the situation in Nanjing, for everyone, seems to be entering a wrestle, who will be the victorious side? It is undeniable that the victorious side may own the whole country!

"Nanjing's state of governmentlessness must end, the cabinet must never violate the law to restrict the use of violence by the police, the duty of the police is to maintain social order and social order, and when social order is disturbed, the police should use all means, including police equipment, to ensure the implementation of the law!"

Faced with the fact that Nanking was in a state of political powerlessness, the Minister of Justice, Zhang Feng, argued with the Prime Minister at a cabinet meeting, and after his suggestion was not respected, because he could not get a direct contact with His Majesty, he had to appeal to the Supreme Court on the one hand to ask the Supreme Court to rule on the police powers, and on the other hand, to hold a press conference to ask the local police not to deviate from their duties.

"We must wholeheartedly uphold the enforcement of the law!"

However, what Zhang Feng, as the Minister of Justice, did not expect was that it was precisely because of this speech that he became a "thorn in the eye" and a "butcher" in the eyes of the demonstrators.

On September 5, at half past three o'clock in the morning, in front of the gate of the Minister of Justice's official residence, the Western-style black iron gate was closed, and outside the guard box in front of the gate, two policemen paced back and forth, because the weather was a little hot and dry, so that their foreheads were a little sweaty, and Nanjing seemed a little quiet in the early morning.

"It's fucking boring."

A policeman stretched out a little boredly, glanced left and right, and then said to his companion.

"Let's have a cigarette."

"No, be careful of being caught by the chief."

Another policeman replied with some caution that as a young policeman, he had too many concerns, and according to the rules, uniformed police officers were not allowed to smoke while on duty.

"What time is it, and the chief won't be here at this time......"

The fire flickered, the smoke was lit, and just as he spit out the first puff, a strange sound came from a distance, which seemed very harsh in the quiet of the early morning.

"It's a car?"

"It's so late, what the hell...... It seems like more than one car! ”

"Maybe the minister is meeting at the Prime Minister's Mansion again, don't you know, the current situation ......?"

The policeman's complaints could not stop the wheels from rolling, and after two puffs of cigarettes, three cars drove up to the gate, the cars were very ordinary, looking a little worn out of the old Pegasus car, which was not supposed to be on Chancellor Street, where the people who lived were either rich or expensive, and it was three cars.

Seeing the three cars under the street lamp, the two policemen invariably opened the pistol snap button on their waists so that they could draw their pistols in time, but before they could react, the leading car had stopped in front of the gate, and the barrels of several short guns poked out of the dark car window, and the two policemen who had no time to react collapsed in a pool of blood.

At the same time as the gunshots rang out, the door of the car in front of it opened, and only one person jumped out, holding a large smoking package and throwing it towards the gate, and then rolled on the ground to avoid the back of the car.

With a flash of lightning and a thunderbolt, the iron gate was blown open. Before the smoke of gunfire had cleared, more than a dozen gunmen jumped out of the three cars and immediately swarmed into the official residence of the Minister of Justice, dressed in different clothes and with guns in their hands.

On this night, the sudden sound of an explosion woke up Zhang Feng in his sleep, and he immediately turned on the bedside lamp, and then saw his wife's eyes open round.

"Don't be afraid, let's go to the basement first."

When Zhang Feng wanted to help his wife, she jumped out of bed quickly.

"I'm fine, kids! Check out the kids! ”

Caring for the child is the mother's instinctive reaction.

"Don't worry, the kids will be fine."

As the Minister of Justice, he carried a weapon with him for a while, and after loading the pistol, he raised the gun in his right hand, opened the door with his left hand, and took his wife's hand and ran to the room of the two children.

Turn the corner of the hallway and the kids are all there!

After entering the bedroom of the children's door, Zhang Feng picked up his little daughter who was still holding a toy panda, while his wife picked up his son quickly, and the two children consciously ran downstairs after the couple without saying anything.

"Dad, am I dreaming, are we going to die......"

"It's okay, Dad is here."

After a simple word of comfort, Zhang Feng unscrewed the door under the stairs in the living room, and the family of four immediately walked down the stairs towards the basement.

"Dad, where are we going?"

My son, who is a little older, is a little more sober

"Let's go to a safe place." The entire shelter was built five meters underground, the twenty-square-meter shelter was made of reinforced concrete up to fifty centimeters thick, and the entrance was a heavy blast door made of steel, which was originally supposed to be used to protect key personnel during air raids, but now it has become a place to protect him and his family.

Just as Zhang Feng opened the blast door, there was a brisk explosion when he entered the stairs, followed by gunshots like popping beans, and a burst of mob shouts.

"Where is Zhang Feng?"

"Catch the Servant ......"

"Kill him ......"

At the moment when the blast door was closed, the sound of gunfire was heard again. Finally, the blast door closed, and in the dim light, looking at his pale-faced wife and frightened children, Zhang Feng was left with a burst of anger in his heart.

Who is it? Who wanted to kill him? And it's in his home!

"What now?"

The wife with the children looked at her husband in horror, and just as she said this, she heard a weak gunfire from the blast door, as well as the sound of metal crashing, as if someone was shooting at the blast door.

"It's okay, don't worry, they can't blow that door open with a bomb!"

When this refuge room was designed, the threat of bombs had been taken into account, and Zhang Feng, who was suppressing his anger in his heart, walked to the desk and picked up the phone on the table.

"Hey, I'm Minister of Justice Zhang Feng, and my authorization number is ......"

After the phone was connected, after checking the confidentiality authorization, he said to the telephone switchboard.

"Now, I am under attack by armed rioters at my residence......"

At this point, his voice sank.

"I ask to be connected to the palace immediately, and I want to report directly to Your Majesty!"

Zhang Feng, who was completely filled with anger, had only one thought left, he wanted to report everything in Nanjing directly to His Majesty, and finally His Majesty would make a decision on whether to use forceful means to restore order or sit back and watch the revolution happen.

"The Attorney General's Mansion has been attacked by rioters!"

Chen Moran, who had entered the Northern Jiangsu Comprehensive Training Base of the Royal Guards Army as early as six days ago, was stunned at first after receiving this report, which was unexpected.

The fundamental reason why he hid in the comprehensive training base was to wait for the situation to deteriorate, so that he could have enough reasons to restore order with an iron fist, and at the same time teach some people a profound lesson to ensure political stability in the future, and according to the facts, the deterioration of the situation should first fall into a state of no political axe, then the political axe paralysis, and then the demonstrators tried to occupy the political axe institution, but now, because of the words of the Minister of Justice, the Minister of Justice has become the target of the mob, does this mean...... "Answer the phone from the Attorney General's Office!"

After thinking about it for a long time, Chen Moran still picked up the phone, perhaps, this is also an opportunity.

When Zhang Feng received a call back from His Majesty, the attack on the official residence had ended, after all, it was "Minister Street" After the explosion and shooting, the police in the nearby official residence immediately reported to the bureau, and the police station immediately dispatched hundreds of armed police officers, and after a fierce battle, the rioters were repulsed, and Minister Street was temporarily controlled.

"Your Majesty,"

After introducing the situation in Nanjing and the attack on the official residence, Zhang Feng directly put forward his proposal.

"Now, this demonstration is developing from a peaceful petition to an armed riot, considering the guns owned by the citizens of Nanjing, if we can't end all this as soon as possible and restore order in Nanjing, the revolution will break out in the near future, and then the entire empire will also fall with the outbreak of armed riots, I ask Your Majesty to make a decision as soon as possible!"

When he said this, Zhang Feng's tone was a little excited, but the decision he made was not angry, in his opinion, now, it has come to the last moment.

"Well, then, your suggestion!"

Holding the phone, Chen Moran's tone seemed very calm, after such an attack that threatened him and his family, it was normal for him to react like this, whether it was to protect himself or his family, he would make an "appropriate response", and now, what he needs is the support of the Minister of Justice from a "legal point of view".

"Your Majesty, according to the laws of the Empire, the minister hopes to dispatch the military and police to use all necessary means to end everything in Nanjing, and at the same time, please order the country to enter a state of emergency and impose martial law throughout the country!"
