Chapter 126: The Beginning of Troubled Times

In the army of the Shenghua Empire, the difference between the Magic New Army and ordinary soldiers is that there are many white cloaks, and the white cloak behind the military attache naturally proves that he is an official of the Magic New Army.

After hearing that someone introduced that Master Jiao like this, the people around all showed suddenly enlightened expressions, and from the happy eyes of everyone at the moment, it could be seen that everyone had a good impression of that official and had expectations.

The official position of partial commander is a very special official position in Emperor Shenghua*.

Because in the army of the Shenghua Empire, only the golden vindictive people will have great development after serving as officials, but, in fact, there are many strong characters in other colors of vindictive people, and they also play a more important role in the army, at least when fighting, they mainly rely on their efforts, so slowly, in the army of the Shenghua Empire, in order to let the officers and soldiers of other colors of vindictiveness also work hard, so another set of official rank system has been established for soldiers and officials of other colors of vindictiveness, but even if these people hold the same official rank as the golden vindictive people, the treatment must be three levels lower, and the official position is biased, It can be said that it is the highest rank that other people can hold in the army, in fact, in the minds of ordinary people, this partial commander is often synonymous with strength, so when everyone heard that Master Jiao had been a partial commander before, they were all admired.

After the Lord Jiao shouted, he took a step forward, first saluted the Provincial Governor, and then turned to the people and said: "The petition written by everyone, I and the Provincial Governor have studied it, in fact, we also think that the imperial court's method of selling the right to build the railway to foreigners this time is somewhat inappropriate, I myself have written to the emperor, so that the imperial court can take back the order, and now the petition you sent, I think the provincial governor will also play the emperor, and strongly advise the emperor to return this power to our Shenghua Empire." ”

Speaking of this, the Lord Jiao glanced at the Provincial Governor.

There was no expression on the Provincial Governor's feminine face, and he couldn't see whether he was happy or unhappy that Lord Jiao suddenly stood up to speak for him, and he didn't look at the Lord Jiao, but turned to look at the people around him again, and at this moment he continued to interject in his feminine voice: "So, everyone, let's go back, don't gather here, believe in these things, we will take care of them." ”

The provincial governor's words still sounded like a sideshow, and he only said that it was good to deal with it, but what was good? Whether it was good for him personally or for our people, he did not explain. And it can also be seen that on this issue, the provincial governor and the Jiao lord are not completely in agreement, and the Jiao lord immediately sent a letter to the emperor after hearing the news, and the provincial governor is still waiting to see the situation.

I'm afraid, this is also the general mentality of the officials of the Shenghua Empire now, in the face of some policies made by the imperial court to lose power and humiliate the country, some responsible officials, like the people, are eager to go to the emperor to distinguish the interests and disadvantages, and some officials are still judging the situation, they would rather put the interests of the empire aside, first keep their official positions and power and then talk about others, it should be said that these officials with the latter attitude are smart, and I believe that they will benefit them with such an attitude in the past. However, they did not realize that the current situation was completely different, and when the empire was about to fall, they did not stand up at this time and did not speak out, which was tantamount to being an accomplice to traitor.

Under the nest, Ann has finished eggs, and if they don't express their position, they may be eliminated by the current situation at any time.

After hearing Lord Jiao's words, the surrounding people felt much more comfortable, because Lord Jiao had clearly stated that he had given the emperor a letter of advice.

Although many people can see that the provincial governor still has a perfunctory meaning, the purpose of the people wanting the officials to convey the people's wishes to the emperor has been achieved, because the Lord Jiao has already given a promise, and the Lord Jiao still swears in the face of everyone's advice that he will send another letter to the emperor, and everyone can rest assured.

Seeing this, the merchant surnamed Tian turned around and shouted to the people in the square: "Everyone, since the Provincial Governor and Jiao are willing to help us convey the wishes of the people, then let's all go back, let's go home and wait for the news of the Provincial Governor, I believe that the Provincial Governor will definitely give us a satisfactory answer." ”

Several representatives of the Xiangnan Railway Preparatory Association turned around at this moment and began to persuade everyone to go home, since the officials had promised, it would not be a matter for the people to gather here again, so they asked everyone to go back and wait for news, of course they did not say that the matter was over, and if the officials were not satisfied with the answer, it was not too late for everyone to come back and demonstrate.

Seeing this, the crowd also dispersed.

I didn't expect this demonstration to end in such a peaceful way, which is very surprising.

We, the students, also walked back with the crowd, watched the excitement, and expressed public opinion, and we felt a little satisfied in our hearts.

However, I was a little disappointed in my heart that this demonstration did not seem to be as enthusiastic as I imagined, and the result seemed to be too smooth, as a student, some people went with the psychology of watching the excitement and not being afraid of big things, but after thinking about it, the purpose of our petition is only to express the people's livelihood, and it would be a good result if it could really be expressed smoothly.

Just when we, the students, still thought that our demonstration here was not enjoyable enough, the next situation in our surrounding provinces and cities made us marvel, because we did not expect that our demonstration here was just the beginning, and it was an example, and then the surrounding provinces and places followed suit, and on the afternoon of the third day, Brother Rundong excitedly rushed into our dormitory again with a newspaper, and read aloud excitedly: "As soon as our demonstration here ended, Northern Hubei Province, Suxi Province, The people of the four and three provinces also got the news, and they also started to strike and strike, and the magic railway builders of northern Hubei Province also participated in the strike, however, they clashed with the officers and soldiers, and it was written that dozens of people died, and the dead were both officers and soldiers and strikers, and it seems that the officials of Northern Hubei Province are very stubborn. ”

"In this way, we are lucky that there are no dead people here!" said one classmate with great fear.

In fact, this kind of luck is not accidental, because we are the first place to start a strike, and everyone has never experienced such a thing, so whether it is the people of the organization or the people involved, everyone is cautious, and the demonstrations are also very rational, so we can end up here in a calm way, and after the news is obtained, the swarm of learning will definitely make the situation chaotic, and conflicts are inevitable.

Brother Rundong nodded, he may not be able to see through this layer at the moment, but the calm here in Xiangnan Province has given Brother Rundong more energy to pay attention to the situation in other places, looking at the newspaper, he continued to talk about the news above: "Moreover, the demonstrations in other provinces have been going on very enthusiastically, and they have been going on for a few days, but I believe that if more provinces join in, the imperial court will definitely be afraid of our huge petition of the people, as long as more people join our petition team, I believe it will definitely be able to* Forcing the officials of the imperial court to retract their previous orders, take back the rights and interests that belong to our Shenghua Empire, and preferably, severely punish the corrupt officials who made this stupid decision. ”

Brother Rundong is very passionate and confident, in the past, he only complained about the affairs of the imperial court in our village, but today he can actually participate in a demonstration in person, and he can make an effort to change the decision of the Shenghua Empire, you can imagine how excited he is.

I can understand Brother Rundong's excitement at the moment, but I think he is still too idealistic, I believe that his conclusions are too early and too arbitrary, and whenever he is excited, Brother Rundong will always behave too idealistically.

However, I am contrary to Brother Rundong's opinion, if the rulers of this Shenghua Empire are really so aware of current affairs, really so good at understanding the feelings of the people, and can really change their mistakes when they know their mistakes, how can they spoil this huge Shenghua Empire like this? Moreover, if the people in the court can make such a ridiculous decision, I believe that there must be some interests involved, and I believe that those guys in the court should not be so easy to comply with the wishes of the people, where will they vomit out what they eat?

Sure enough, the next situation became more and more violent, some provinces and cities have been on strike for half a month, of course, in those places the imperial court also sent heavy troops to start sorting out the local order, and there are rumors that the provincial governor of the four or three provinces was removed from office because of his support for this civilian petition, and a new official was appointed in the four and three provinces.

However, because Xiangnan Province was the first place to start a strike, and it subsided earlier, it is obviously relatively calm at the moment, and everyone is waiting for news from the provincial governor on the one hand, and on the other hand, they are showing solidarity with other places with small demonstrations, and some people even go to other provinces to help the relevant provinces.

Our school is already in a state of semi-suspension, and a few teachers have gone to other provinces, so now we only have half-day classes every day. In this way, our students also have more free time.

There was no class this afternoon, and I saw Brother Rundong reading books and newspapers with his classmates and discussing the situation, while I walked out on the street alone.

The streets were crowded as usual, and the atmosphere here no longer seemed tense, and I looked down and thought about walking in the crowd.

After walking through two streets, there is a row of shops in front, this is a street that sells cultivation supplies, and now the wave of strikes here in Xiangnan has passed, so the shops here are all open. I walked to the familiar counter and saw that there were pills, weapons, and even some rare cultivation artifacts and other goods.

However, the things here are all very expensive, such as the cheapest Qi Condensing Pill, one costs 15 gold coins, I didn't expect that the big bottle of Qi Condensing Pill I got from Pang Qingjian at the beginning, it should be enough to have thousands of gold coins, and that time it was a big profit.

But now, I am a little at a loss in the face of such a high price, this pill is too expensive!
