Chapter 853: Feminist Trend

The commotion came so suddenly that no one expected it. The spat of the shoes between the lawmakers escalated to a fist-and-foot brawl, which in turn led to a large-scale brawl between the members of Congress. The person who provoked the fight was Zong Dehai, who lost the hookah and lost his shoes, and after losing it, he was still angry, so he simply rushed up, grabbed Jude's collar and punched him, and he was still scolding: Straight mother thief! Grass mud horses.

With this move, things can't be controlled, the people of Shaanxi are fierce, and the parliamentarians are not nerds who study hard, and they don't know how to fight back when they are beaten. The parliamentarians of Gansu, Hubei, and Sichuan, who have always had a disagreement with the Ba'ath Party, have turned from persuasion to participants. Directly led to the scene out of control, not counting the overseas provincial councilors who only joined in the middle of the year, the fifteen provincial councilors of the Ming Dynasty, the thirteen provinces that directly participated in the war, and only the two provinces of Guangxi and Guizhou did not participate in the war. The legislators of the rest of the provinces have developed from fists and feet to dismantling tables and chairs for fighting.

This battle was so lively that Speaker Gu Yanwu broke the hammer and failed to stop the fight. In the end, the police officers from the nearby police station were urgently mobilized to intervene, which can be regarded as quelling the brawl. This event is known in history: the Capitol Bloody Case.

The incident caused an uproar in the Ming Dynasty and the opposition, and there is no doubt that there were many voices of criticism.

When the matter reached Chen Xie's ears, Chen Xie was discussing with the Ministry of Education the detailed rules of the national compulsory education law, which was about to be submitted to the parliament for deliberation. Who would have thought that this side was not over yet, and the Jingshi Police Chief Luo Mingli (Luo Yangxing's grandson) came sweating profusely and reported the Capitol brawl.

Because of the use of weapons of mass destruction, 18 parliamentarians were carried to the hospital. The rest of the legislators were slightly injured by more than 60 members, and the fight was a mess anyway. Chen Xie's expression after listening to the report can be described as wonderful, and he sat in silence for a long time in a daze, and his mouth didn't even go up. I thought so. History proceeds according to its own routine. Could it be that democracy cannot escape the evolutionary stage of congressional brawls?

The worst thing is the police officers, these legislators gathered in a crowd to fight, violating the law. But no one dared to show their faces, and they had to be the master to serve, serving tea and water. Why? These people are either rich or expensive, and none of them are good at stubble.

Ming Congress. The lower house is the main house, and the upper house is supplemented. Basically, laws passed by the lower house can be passed smoothly by the upper house. As a result, the lower house is more important than the upper house. In principle, unless there is a major military matter, the assembly of the upper and lower houses will not be convened. For a small bill like the Education Bill, the House of Lords is just for everyone to raise their hands. Why is the upper house so cowardly? The reason is simple, the House of Lords are made up of knighthoods, and these noble titles. Now most of them are inherited by wood. That is to say, if you hang up, the son cannot be hereditary. Those nobles who have the right to inherit have another fear, which is impeachment from the House of Commons. This impeachment is very deceitful, if your family members and relatives have done any illegal things, the House of Commons can impeach you, and more than half of them can remove your title. Chen Xie engaged in such a system at the beginning. Do you say it's a pit or not? How many nobles are there in the Ming Dynasty? The provinces of Daming decide the number of members of the parliament of each province according to the number of candidates in each province. This trick is simply cheating! Better than the rich and the literate. Which province can be compared with Jiangsu, Liaodong and Zhejiang? They have more members of the National Assembly than you, and that's a lot more. For example, there are as many as 28 members of the National Assembly in Jiangsu Province. Liaodong is sixteen, and it will be longer next year. Why is it president? There are many people who read and there are many taxpayers, and it is a product of the compulsory education system and industrialization.

This is also the main reason why Jude stood up to attack Chen Xie. The imperial examination also has a balanced system, and the number of jinshi admitted by the north and south should be balanced as much as possible. Now that we are doing this, we don't care about the lives or deaths of the northern provinces. Even if it's a simple comparison of population, you can't compare with other economically developed provinces, right?

So, what about the House of Lords. They tend to be cautious and leave a way out for themselves. For them, knighthood and parliamentarianism are not really a matter of legislation, but of some privileges.

Chen Xie had no choice but to stop his work and rush to Chongwenmen Hospital, the largest hospital in Beijing, with a few escorts, to visit a group of councilors who were being treated in the hospital. I never thought that he came out in a hurry, and he was wearing the usual clothes he advocated. When I entered the hospital, I was not taken seriously, but I heard the scene of the two lying on the treatment bed still scolding each other.

"Pig killer, be careful, it's best to bring more guards when you go out."

"Grass mud horse, I'll kill you now."

Then there was all kinds of persuasion from the hard-pressed police officers, and they still didn't give up, and they continued to scold and scold without stopping.

Chen Xie really couldn't cry or laugh, he tried hard to put on a face, coughed, some of the police recognized the guard's flying eagle suit, and quickly got out of the way in fright, Chen Xie walked into the treatment room, Zong Dehai, who was not too seriously injured, and a Gansu councilor, each lying on a bed, were trying to kill each other with their eyes.

Chen Xie, who was not smiling, came in and glanced at the pig killer Zong Dehai, who sat up directly in fright, and couldn't care about the needle in his hand that pierced the blood vessels, but frightened the police officer in charge of them, and quickly called the nurse. Chen Xie opened his mouth and said: "You don't need to call a nurse, you won't be able to die for a while." ”

The police officer looked back, it was quiet and weird outside, and he quickly put his neck on the excuse of convenience, and urinated away. Chen Xie came up and helped the pig killer Zong Dehai re-puncture the needle, the skills of the barefoot doctor back then were still there, and the tears and snot that moved Zong Dehai came down. The sweet potato councillor on the opposite bed was trembling with fright and did not dare to speak.

After finally getting the needle, Chen Xie stood up and said: "I've heard everything about today, and after I go back, no matter who it is, don't talk nonsense in the newspaper." Otherwise, don't blame the black hand of the original Xiangxin! After the threat, Chen Xie hurried out and went to the ward to visit the parliamentarians one by one, and then after a salty beating, the parliamentarians naturally received a gag order.

Naturally, the gag order is useless, and such a big thing can't be hidden. The next day, the newspapers were full of air, and although there were no details, the incident of the brawl in the parliament must have been known to the whole country. Then began a new round of verbal warfare, with conservatives and reformists spraying each other, neutral newspapers taking charge and muddy, and then it was inevitable that they would carry private goods.

In general, for the Capitol brawl. The media is still predominantly critical, although the focus varies. If you look at the "Ming Pao", the point is that because a certain parliamentarian opposed the proposal of a woman's marriage age, it caused a fight. The result of such a report is to the point. Let's not blame someone for insinuating and scolding Huai. Thereupon. The topic of the quarrel quickly focused on two points, one was the bill on the age of marriage for women, and the other was how to punish MPs for fighting.

The biggest advantage of this qualitative approach is that it avoids the intensification of some deep-seated contradictions, but the problem has not been solved. Chen Xie saw it very clearly, but he felt that the existence of conservatives was not necessarily a bad thing. It would be terrible if there was only one voice in a council. As Prime Minister of the Cabinet. How can the balance be overlooked? Deliberately qualitative, this is the purpose.

The matter of how to punish the fight of the members of the Diet was quickly concluded after urgent consultations between the cabinet and the speaker. And the results of the punishment were published in the official mouthpiece "Daming Times". In view of the fact that the congressional brawl is a first-time offense, the members who participated in the brawl will no longer be held criminally responsible, but will be fined a huge amount of 5,000 yuan each. The money was collected and used by the Kyoshi Police Station.

After the fine, the Upper House held an emergency meeting. A parliamentary discipline has been established whereby no one may obstruct the normal progress of the proposals and deliberations of dissidents by means other than debate, under any pretext. If a person violates this discipline, the Speaker has the right to transfer personnel from the Kyoshi Police Station to maintain normal order in the Assembly, and anyone who violates this discipline will be disqualified from being a member of the National Assembly.

This discipline is really ruthless. Directly cut off the staging of various versions of the parliamentary farce. The main reason for this discipline led by Chen Xie is that he is fed up with the parliament on an island in modern society, and all kinds of crooked and evil ways are staged at every turn, resulting in the paralysis of the parliament. How can politicians have a bottom line? The green camp on an island often has all kinds of messy news. It's disgusting. There is also Maozi's parliament, which is also often practiced. Therefore, this one was cut off from the root. In a word, the parliament, it's okay to quarrel, but it's not okay to use force. This discipline came at a timely time and quickly quelled the craze for parliamentary brawls.

The media also has to eat, and there are no readers for the parliamentary fight, so the next thing has to be reported on the girl's marriage age. Unexpectedly, this report quickly sparked a national craze. In the Ming Dynasty, since Chen Xie, the guy who opened the hanging, changed a lot, and the social status of women has changed a lot. The focus is on the four provinces of Jiangnan, Liaodong, Shandong and Zhejiang, which have one thing in common, that is, there are many textile enterprises and developed service industries. These two professions are characterized by a large number of female workers. When women can earn money by working part-time, their status in the family increases. Although the status of women in the people is still struggling, in the face of actual interests, there are various concessions and acquiescences to women in the people.

There are even those capitalists, for their own interests, spend money to find guns and add fuel to the fire in the newspapers. And it turns out that women who have studied are relatively easy to find a job. There is also a problem, when a woman is going to get married and have children, it will be difficult for capitalists to find workers. This leads to another issue, which is the work of married women.

This time it was lively, and there were all kinds of verbal battles in the newspapers. There are more female talents in the service industry, and there are many fans. Sister Hong stood up and sang a song of her daughter's tears, and a bunch of brain-dead readers had excessive hormone secretion, and they wrote articles for the woman. There were already many topics of right and wrong on the Qinhuai River, but now it is even more lively.

Noisy! The result is that it has led to an issue that worries the entire Ming society, that is, the issue of women's rights.

The one who took the lead in hyping this concept was naturally Nanjing's "Ming Pao". The cause of the incident was a woman named Zheng Su, who lost her job teaching in elementary school because of her husband's opposition, not to mention it, and it also led to a marriage change. The woman found the "Ming Pao" newspaper office on the bank of the Qinhuai River, and cried with tears and snot to tell what happened to her. directly brought out Zheng Tuniang, the owner of "Ming Pao", everyone has the same surname, and Zheng Toniang's granddaughter also had an awkward relationship with her husband's family because of work, and returned to her grandmother to find support.

The two hit it off, and the topic of a huge upheaval in the Ming society was born.

Zheng Su's story is very simple, but it is not simple. Her affairs are relatively gentle, she was born in Songjiang Mansion, and her parents made a living from a small business. Because Songjiang Prefecture is a pilot of compulsory education, there is a chance to enter a girls' school, with excellent grades, and after graduation, she stayed in school for a year of further study, and at the age of 16, she taught at Songjiang Girls' School. At this time, the problem arose, her parents set her a family affair, and according to the words of the parents' matchmaker, she couldn't resist it at all in this era. Zheng Su did not resist too fiercely, and put forward a request, she must stay in school and continue to teach, otherwise she will not get married even if she dies. Of course, the husband's family refused to give in, and repeatedly came to the school to try to kidnap people. If it weren't for the school's protection, it would have been snatched away a long time ago. At this time, her mother's family, who was supposed to stand up for her, did not come out to help, and her father was ashamed because of the clan's reprimand. ran to the school to make trouble, forcing her daughter to go home and get married. In this way, Zheng Su couldn't stay in school anymore, so he looked for an opportunity, ran away from Songjiang Mansion to Nanjing, and found "Ming Pao" to avenge his grievances.

The trend caused by Zheng Su's story is not over, more and more tragic women's stories have been excavated, and various newspapers have published the tragic stories of various women without hesitation for the sake of sales. Several newspapers were smashed by civil discontent because they published these contents. As the provocateur, Ming Pao was also attacked by conservative forces. If it weren't for the fact that Ming Pao's security guards were all retired soldiers, and there were a large number of them, Ming Pao would have been smashed.

Of course, women are a vulnerable group, but women are also human beings if they can't stand it, and if they are people, they will not all be submissive, and once someone picks the head, the power that erupts under long-term suppression is as amazing as a volcanic eruption.

It all started in Nanjing, and after the attack, Ming Pao continued to fight, and the front page published an article titled: "We have to be human", which directly detonated the explosives arsenal of Ming feminism. This article is about a female textile worker who was beaten by her parents and spurned by the villagers in order to resist her family's arranged marriage. The parents discussed with the husband's family and forcibly arranged a marriage hole. After getting married, the woman still refused to obey, ran away many times, and was arrested again, and her husband's family beat her again and again, but the woman still refused to obey. The husband's family was angry and sold her to Renyazi, and the woman pretended to be powerless to resist, and finally found an opportunity to commit suicide by throwing herself into the river. Just threw herself into the river, and after the body was fished up, the local clan did not let her go, and wrote an article about her in a tabloid, all kinds of vicious splashing dirty water, saying that she was debauched and did not abide by women's morals, etc. A woman's best friend, after seeing Zheng Su's story, ran to Ming Pao to tell her story.

This article can be regarded as lighting the fire, adding a handful of firewood, and pouring a bucket of gasoline. The tragedy of the woman quickly spread throughout Jiangsu, and then along the coastline, north and south, and finally even the Beijing division was not spared. Folk artists have put this story on the stage and performed it in various places. (To be continued......)
