Chapter 272: Traps
Although it is true that Guan Mochen is the person who fuels the troubles, it is Jiang Boqi himself who can lead to the aggravation of the contradictions between the trade union and the chamber of commerce.
When Zhang Fuzhi was still alive and served as the president of the Chamber of Commerce, the exploitation of people was already shocking, and people and gods were angry, but Zhang Fuzhi was soft-handed and knew how to appease people's hearts, so whenever the workers were about to break out, he would find a way to divide the workers, appease a group of people, and at the same time hit another group of people, so that they could not unite.
After Jiang Boqi took office, the oppression continued unabated, and his methods of action were completely different from Zhang Fuzhi's, and the way he adopted was to completely suppress and not allow anyone to raise objections.
Jiang Boqi believes that as long as the chickens are killed and shown to the monkeys, other people will naturally not come out to make trouble again.
Yes, if there was no Northern Expedition of the Revolutionary Army, no loud slogans, and no vigorous mass movement in the surrounding areas, perhaps, the people of Yongcheng would have swallowed their anger as usual, but when the Great Revolution began, people seemed to see hope and thought that they could really change the world, so they decided to unite and protect themselves.
The trade unions in Yongcheng, like elsewhere, were initially only for the sake of solidarity and self-preservation, so as not to scatter the poor people, and they also wanted to take a peaceful approach against the oppressive businessmen, and they also pinned their hopes on the incomplete laws established by the Beiyang government.
Gradually, however, they found that in order to evade the law, the Chamber of Commerce used the concession as a safe haven, and when you use Chinese law to argue with it, the other party can directly throw out the word "concession" to evade responsibility.
And those foreigners know better what capital operation is, after all, in this land, the most important thing is cheap labor.
The moment the flame of revolution appeared in Yongcheng, the minds of the workers were completely ignited, and it was clear to them that if there was oppression, they must resist.
How can you resist? Is it just strikes and negotiations?
Qiu Yishan humbly asked: "May I ask Mr. An, what should we do now?" ”
An Wanghai said: "It depends on what Fu Guodong wants to do, and what the revolutionary army that has not yet come to the city wants to raise." ”
Qiu Yishan said: "The number of workers accounts for the majority, and the people hired by the Chamber of Commerce only account for one-tenth of them, so if you really want to make a move, the Chamber of Commerce is not the opponent of the trade union, Jiang Boqi is also very clear about this, so he made more than a dozen calls a day, asking me to send someone to arrest several leaders of the trade union, but they didn't break the law, why should I arrest them?" ”
An Wanghai said: "This is obviously an attempt to transfer the contradictions of the trade union to the police, once you arrest people, those workers will not confront the Chamber of Commerce, but will run to the door of the police station to demonstrate." ”
Qiu Yishan looked out the window, and the door of the police station was still calm at the moment.
Qiu Gubo asked, "Didn't Jiang Boqi look for Fu Guodong?" ”
An Wanghai smiled bitterly: "Fu Guodong said that he didn't care about anything when he was sick, and he delegated power to Guan Mochen, so Jiang Boqi could only call me every day, hoping that I would persuade Fu Guodong to send troops, you must know that once the army is used to deal with the workers, Fu Guodong's charge of being a warlord and bully will be confirmed, so Fu Guodong, a smart person, will never appear." ”
Qiu Gubo asked, "What about Guan Mochen's attitude?" ”
An Wanghai shook his head: "He naturally stood still, I analyzed his motive for coming to Yongcheng, what he wanted to do was to stabilize Fu Guodong, let Fu Guodong defect to the revolutionary army, and at the same time mobilize the people at the bottom of Yongcheng to stand up against the chamber of commerce that has bullied and exploited them for a long time, and the backers behind the chamber of commerce are foreigners, so in the end, Guan Mochen's purpose is to take this opportunity to drive foreigners out of Yongcheng in one fell swoop, and use the power of the people to recover the Xingang concession. ”
Qiu Yishan and Qiu Gubo's faces changed drastically when they heard this, this is simply a fool's dream, at least for now, this is absolutely impossible.
An Wanghai walked to the window and looked in the direction of Xingang: "What I'm most worried about now is the batch of arms from the Feng Army. ”
Qiu Yishan gasped: "I forgot about it." ”
An Wanghai said: "At that time, in order to bring down Zhang Fuzhi, I handed over the batch of arms to Jiang Boqi, Jiang Boqi is very smart, and has been hiding the arms in his own shipyard. ”
The ammunition that Jiang Boqi brought back was enough to arm the soldiers of the two reinforced companies.
Qiu Gubo asked a key question at this time: "Mr. An, I want to know, what are you going to do?" ”
An Wanghai was silent for a long time and said: "Some things are uncontrollable. ”
Qiu Gubo was puzzled: "What do you mean?" ”
An Wanghai said: "To create a new era, it is always necessary to break the old era and sacrifice countless pioneers, but the process is very long, and it is even possible to change from one troubled era to another, I know what Guan Mochen thinks, I also appreciate him, and even agree with him, but now is really not the time, because our country is not united enough and not strong enough." ”
Qiu Yishan nodded and said, "Yes." ”
Qiu Gubo asked, "Then you are going to do nothing?" ”
An Wanghai said: "I'm ready to save people, and if I can save one, it's one." ”
Qiu Gubo asked, "How to save it?" ”
An Wanghai looked at Qiu Gubo and said, "I need Epiphany to reappear in the rivers and lakes." ”
Qiu Gubo and Qiu Yishan were stunned, what is this An Wanghai going to do?
●
At night, outside Jiang Boqi's shipyard, Qiu Yishan and Qiu Gubo were squatting in the dark, and the father and son looked at each other.
Qiu Yishan put the mask on his head: "Hey, can you do it?" ”
Qiu Gubo also put on the mask: "Tiger father has no dog, let's go." ”
Qiu Yishan grabbed Qiu Gubo: "Wait, did you say An Wanghai's trick worked?" ”
Qiu Gubo said: "Epiphany used to be a chivalrous man in the hearts of the people of Yongcheng, if Epiphany can solve these problems and transfer the contradictions, the current crisis can be resolved." ”
Qiu Yishan ripped off his hood: "What if it doesn't work?" ”
Qiu Gubo put the hood back on Qiu Yishan: "Dad, it will definitely work, do it according to the plan." ”
Qiu Yishan put on his hood, separated from Qiu Gubo, and both disappeared into the darkness.
Outside the shipyard warehouse, Jiang Boqi's bodyguards gathered to drink and chat, discussing how to deal with the workers of the union, and they did not notice Qiu Yishan, who was quietly approaching.
The leader of the bodyguard drank wine and said: "The boss is still soft-hearted, if it were me, I would arrest the leader, and I would have crashed with one shot, and I would have been killed." ”
"If someone is dead, the police will ask them."
"Afraid of what? The police won't help those poor people. ”
"You seem to be rich."
Qiu Yishan hid in the box behind them and interjected, "Yes, we are all poor ghosts, why do we have to help the boss deal with other poor ghosts." ”
The head of the bodyguard was stunned, raised his eyes and asked, "Who said that just now?" ”
His bodyguards looked at each other and shook their heads.
The head of the bodyguard said: "Who are we, we all know in our hearts, if it weren't for the boss, we would have been in prison a long time ago, and we must tell a righteous word in everything." ”
Qiu Yishan said behind the box again: "So, this is like things gather people in groups, and flies like to mix with." ”
"Who!" The head of the bodyguard stood up, "Who's talking!?" ”
The rest of the people also realized that something was wrong, and they stood up one after another, looking around with sharp weapons in hand.
At this time, Qiu Yishan jumped out from behind the box, still in his trademark white crane wings pose, and shouted, "Yes, I am Epiphany!" ”
The bodyguards looked at Qiu Yishan like fools, and then rushed up.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Qiu Yishan turned around and ran, after all, the role of his appearance here was to divert this group of bodyguards, so that Qiu Gubo had a good chance to enter the warehouse and find a way to blow up the batch of munitions, so as not to cause more trouble.
While the bodyguards chased after Qiu Yishan, Qiu Gubo dodged out of the shadows, used the tools next to him to smash the iron lock of the warehouse door, and then got in.
After Qiu Gubo entered the warehouse, he found that the warehouse was pitch black, and it was not too much to say that he couldn't see his five fingers.
According to An Wanghai, Jiang Boqi did hide the military arms in this warehouse, and it was located in the southeast corner.
Because the warehouse was too big, Qiu Gubo had to move forward in the dark, and finally touched a long box, Qiu Gubo reached out and opened it, and touched it inside, sure enough, it was a spear, and he thought in his heart An Wanghai was right, now just put explosives.
Just as Qiu Gubo put down the thousands of machine bags and was about to load the explosives, the warehouse was suddenly brightly lit, and countless coast guards rushed out of the corner and pointed their guns at Qiu Gubo.
Then, Gao De walked out slowly: "Epiphany." ”
Qiu Gubo knew that it was not good, so he quickly pulled off his mask and said with a smile: "Commander Gao, you have recognized the wrong person, it's me, Qiu Gubo." ”
Gao Dejiu didn't seem surprised, but said: "It turns out that you are the Epiphany, come here, arrest you." ”
Qiu Gubo immediately said: "Eh, wait, Commander Gao, there is a misunderstanding in this!" ”
"Misunderstanding!?" Gao Dejiu stepped forward and directly opened the thousand machine bags, revealing the explosives inside, "Qiu Zhutan, what do you want to do when you came here late at night with explosives?" ”
Qiu Gubo knew that it was difficult to distinguish between words, but he still said: "I just picked up this package of explosives outside, and I saw someone wandering near the warehouse, so I came to investigate." ”
Gao Dejiu sneered: "Editor, continue to edit, you come to check, and you are still wearing night clothes, you are really stupid, aren't you?" ”
When Qiu Gubo was about to say something, Gao Dejiu shook his head and said: "Qiu Yushen, don't say it, let's go back to the Coast Guard Bureau if you have anything to say." ”
After Gao Dejiu finished speaking, he waved his hand, and several coast guards stepped forward, pressed Qiu Gubo's shoulder, and handcuffed him again.
The moment the cold handcuffs were put on Qiu Gubo's wrist, Qiu Gubo had only one thought in his mind, that is: he was betrayed by An Wanghai!
Outside the warehouse, Qiu Yishan, who had just gotten rid of the group of bodyguards, quietly returned, and he originally wanted to answer Qiu Gubo, but found that the warehouse door was open, Gao Dejiu and a large number of coast guards walked out, and Qiu Gubo was still in handcuffs.
Qiu Yishan was immediately stunned, dodged and hid behind the box, and then looked at Gao Dejiu and the others escorting Qiu Gubo towards the outside of the shipyard.
How so? Qiu Yishan's mind couldn't turn for a while, so he had to quietly follow and follow.
At the same time, Bo Samadhi, who had been secretly covering in the distance, was also extremely surprised, and the order he received was simple, as a last resort, do not shoot.
Now it has reached a last resort, but even if he shoots himself, he may not be able to save Qiu Gubo.
After pondering for a moment, Bo Samadhi had no choice but to turn around and leave, heading to the Governor's Mansion as fast as he could.
