Seventy-one

Later, the investigation of the central and provincial party committees proved that when the "12 December" incident occurred in the Shengli Coal Mine, the reform plan of the Pingchuan Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Party Committee had not yet been implemented, and it had not yet been officially announced to the public. When the wind was blowing, the two deputy mine directors and a chief engineer reacted very much, accusing Xiao Yuejin of selling the mine for glory. Yao Xinchun, deputy secretary of the mine party committee, who attended the enlarged meeting of the Standing Committee of the municipal party committee as an observer, also raised doubts about the rank arrangement of other mine-level cadres except Xiao Yuejin.

The briefing blew out so many contradictions, Xiao Yuejin did not dare to be careless, and first asked the participants to keep it strictly confidential and not to disclose the contents and disputes of the meeting to other cadres and the masses; at the same time, the meeting dispersed and called Cao Wuping, who was holding a mayor's office meeting in the city, overnight to report the situation.

Cao Wuping was very annoyed and asked Xiao Yuejin to inform all the mine-level cadres of the Shengli Coal Mine that the next day, that is, at 8 a.m. on December 12, they would go to the conference room on the second floor of the city to hold a meeting, and he and Cheng Weiqi, member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and secretary of the Minjiao County Party Committee, would preside over the meeting together to formally convey the spirit of the instructions of the Municipal Party Committee to the mine-level cadres of the Shengli Mine.

In order to prevent possible sudden incidents, Cao Wuping asked Xiao Yuejin and Yao Xinchun, who had already attended the Standing Committee as observers, not to come, to pay close attention to the mood of the 8,500 cadres and workers in the mine, to give necessary explanations and explanations, to keep in touch with the city at all times, and to absolutely not show up for group visits to the city.

At this time, the most serious consequence that Cao Wuping thought of was that the information at the briefing was revealed by the disgruntled cadres, and thousands of people flocked to the city for a group visit and sit-in, never expecting that the Beijing-Guangzhou Railway, which was close at hand, would be cut off by lying on the rails.

The consequences of such negligence are undoubtedly catastrophic.

…………

December 12 is the day when wages are paid in the entire Shengli Coal Mine, and needless to say, the workers who participate in normal production will also come to receive their wages. Somewhat strangely, in the past, most of the workers on standby came in the afternoon. Because the mine finance department takes out the money from the bank in the morning, it can only be sent to the workers in the afternoon. Early in the morning, people came one after another, and by about nine o'clock, there were no less than 1,000 people gathered in the small square in front of the mine party committee building.

At 9:10 a.m., Zhang Changrong, director of the workshop of the former Mining Machinery Repair Plant, and Wang Zeyi, deputy head of the former 10th Coal Mining District, who had revoked the establishment, first put out a white cloth banner with the words "Shengli Coal Mine is the Shengli Coal Mine of all Shengli miners, and no one has the right to sell the mine for personal gain." Then, some large slogans put together from old sheets appeared: "Down with the thief Xiao Yuejin!" "Down with the faint official Cao Wuping!" "Victory Coal Mine will never give in!" "Defend our coal mines and jobs with blood and lives!"

Two red flags flying from the hunt also appeared at this time, and more and more workers sang the national anthem that they had adapted:

Arise, miners who do not want to be slaves,

Build our new Great Wall with our flesh and blood,

Shengli Coal Mine has reached the most dangerous time,

The miners were forced to let out their last roar.

…………

Xiao Yuejin and Yao Xinchun were both on the second floor of the mine party committee building at this time, and they both thought of the labor tide scenes they had seen in the movie back then. Xiao Yuejin was so anxious that he first called Cao Wuping to report to him, and then according to Cao Wuping's verbal instructions, he opened the window facing the crowd and explained loudly to the workers, saying that this plan was just a plan and that they were still soliciting opinions. However, before Xiao Yuejin finished speaking, a lot of stones and wine bottles flew in through the open window, and a fist-sized stone smashed Xiao Yuejin's face with blood.

Xiao Yuejin let the blood flow on his face, but still said loudly: "Comrades, everyone calm down!" No one wants to sell the mine for glory, and you all know the situation in the mine in the past few years. Since the joint procurement is so good, even if the comprehensive joint procurement is implemented, it will not be harmful to everyone! Do any of you have any comrades from the joint team? Do you have? I'm sure not. They won't come and make trouble, they have already felt the benefits of the reforms! ”

At this time, another wine bottle flew in and accurately hit Xiao Yuejin's blood-covered face, causing Xiao Yuejin to fracture his skull and pass out in front of the window of his office on the spot.

It was precisely because of Xiao Yuejin's coma that the Shengli Mine in turmoil lost contact with the Pingchuan Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government for more than an hour, and the development of the situation entered an uncontrollable state.

At 9:25 a.m., angry miners spontaneously rushed to the party committee building of the mine, smashed Xiao Yuejin's desk and filing cabinet, and wrote in ink on the door of the office the words "Workers' Thieves' Nest". For Xiao Yuejin, who fell in a pool of blood, no one went to rescue him. Later, when the miners flocked to the Beijing-Guangzhou line, several department cadres carried Xiao Yuejin into the mine hospital on the stretcher of the mine rescue team, so that Xiao Yuejin could escape from death. The doctor who presided over the operation said that if it was sent half an hour late, Xiao Yuejin's life would not be saved.

In the face of the miners who lost their minds, Yao Xinchun, deputy secretary of the party committee, trembled with fright, and repeatedly explained incoherently that this matter had nothing to do with him, and that it was all done by Xiao Yuejin and Cao Wuping, deputy secretary of the municipal party committee and executive vice mayor, and he was resolutely opposed, and he also took the risk to tell everyone about the earliest rumors.

Zhang Changrong, the workshop director of the mining machinery repair plant, and Wang Zeyi, the former head of the 10th coal mining district, proved that this was indeed the case, and Yao Xinchun was able to squeeze out of the angry crowd, hide back home without a sound, and never show up again.

At 9:40 a.m., when the miners who occupied the mine's party committee building did not know what to do next, another key figure full of hatred for Liancai appeared, and this person was Tian Dadao, chairman and general manager of the Jinlong Group in Hedong Village.

Tian Dadao hated the joint mining of Wanshan Group and Shengli Mine in Hexi Village for more than three years, hating Xiao Yuejin and Cao Xinli, and even more hating Zhuang Qunyi. Upon learning of the city's decision to further expand the scope of joint mining to the entire mine, Tian Dadao immediately realized that the economic interests of his group would be greatly affected. After the comprehensive joint mining, Zhuang Qunyi, who is shrewd, will no longer be as generous as the state-owned Shengli Mine in the past, and give in to his illegal mining and indiscriminate digging. Therefore, early in the morning, Tian Dadao went to the mine under the pretext of going to the mine to negotiate the transfer of an underground mine support, and he also went to the mine.

According to Tian Dadao's confession after his arrest, it was found that the miners had occupied the party committee building, and he and his two group office people just went to watch the excitement and did not say anything or do anything.

The judicial organ took out the testimony and testimony of those present at the time and asked Tian Dadao: "Didn't you say anything?" So many people have proved that you were the first to propose to go to the rails! At that time, the workers had to petition the Pingchuan Municipal Party Committee and the city. You instigated that it is useless to petition, and that the municipal party committee will not overturn what the municipal party committee has decided. If you want to solve the problem, you have to take the matter to the center, and the center will know about it as soon as you lie on the rails. ** The rebels did just that, and Premier Zhou came forward to speak at that time, and the problem was solved immediately. Have you ever said these words? ”

Tian Dadao had to admit it. However, he also explained that he had absolutely no ulterior motives at that time, and he had never participated in the planning with Zhang Changrong, Wang Zeyi or anyone in the mine in advance, but that he had a weak sense of the legal system, and he talked about it casually, and forgot about it.

The judicial organ once again presented evidence: "No, you Tian Dadao didn't talk about it casually, you made serious preparations." Didn't you take out a leather bag of 100 yuan bills and shout at the workers: If you are killed on the railway, I will pay 10,000 yuan for Tian Dadao, and if you are killed by 100 people, I will pay 1 million! If you didn't prepare it in advance, where did you get this leather bag of cash?! ”

Tian Dadao had nothing to say.

The fact is that at 9:45 a.m. that day, Tian Dadao, chairman and general manager of the Jinlong Group in Hedong Village, Minjiao County, waved a handful of 100-yuan bills in the open corridor in front of Xiao Yuejin's office and instigated the fierce action of the miners rushing to the Beijing-Guangzhou Line to lie on the rails. Some employees of the Jinlong Group in Hedong Village, who were mixed in the crowd, shouted the shocking slogan "Long live General Manager Tian", further inciting the emotions of the miners to the extreme.

At 9:50 a.m., more than 1,800 enthusiastic miners rushed from the east gate of the mine to the Beijing-Guangzhou Railway, which was 1,200 meters away, waving red flags, pulling banners, and singing an adapted national anthem......
