The whole country of Qi is in the kind of imminent mood that has existed for a long time. This populous country is like a cannon, the gunpowder is already loaded, and it will explode when a single spark falls. In this month, that spark is the shady curtain of the Qi national lottery world was revealed.

The shady scene within the lottery world,It was expected,There have been relevant rumors among the people of Qi for a long time,But it has not been confirmed。

This time it was confirmed, and the whole country gradually boiled. The slums crisscrossed by large, medium and small cities are full of people.

People arm themselves as much as they can. Kitchen knives, daggers, pig-killing knives, meat cleavers, sickles, sharp awls, clubs, iron forks and other weapons of all kinds are armed. There was a worker, anxious to "get started", and lay down in a kimono for three nights in a row. Just waiting for the call of his companion, a carpenter named Long Yu met a colleague and asked him, "Where are you going?"

"Oh no! I don't have a weapon yet. ”

"How?"

"I went to the construction site to get my chainsaw. ”

A delivery worker named Wang Lin met any civilian and talked to him: "You come with me." He bought a glass of freshly squeezed juice for forty yuan and invited him to drink, saying, "Do you have a job?"

"Nope. ”

"Go to Chen Xiu's house, he lives at No. 1006 and No. 256 Geyangcheng Street, Shencheng City, where you can find work. ”

Chen Xiu's family has some self-made bullets and weapons, and he is "engaged in a series of connections" with some of the more well-known leaders in the slums.

That is, run from one house to another, gather their teams, and get ready to rise.

In the small teahouses, those who drank tea, all with serious faces, gathered together to talk secretly. Someone heard them say, "Where's your pistol?"

"In my gown, what about you?"

"In my shirt. ”

A middle-aged man and a young man were killed at the gate of the state lottery company's headquarters in Namhu state. They were a father and son who opened a watch shop, and before they were killed by the Qi army, they publicly declared: We want to revolt!

On September 11, all over the country, some places were rainy, some places were sunny, and some places were cloudy. This day is the day when most of the civilians agreed to attack the lottery bureaus together and revolt together.

In order to prevent accidents, the official government of Qi State, which received a little rumor, strengthened its garrison, and generally equipped troops in each lottery bureau, and the smallest bureau also prepared two battalions.

Endless crowds gathered together and took to the streets, looking impatient and strangely shaped, students, workers, peasants, merchants, small citizens, green, blue, purple, tricolor, five-color, all kinds of flags.

The peasants carried the thick branches of the bowls, the striking stonemasons and carpenters, some with paper hats on their heads, and at first glance the printers, walking in rows of two, three in rows, shouting loudly, almost everyone wielding clubs, some wielding broadswords, there was no order, but all of them were united, sometimes chaotic, sometimes in line.

Some of the squads elected their leader, and one man, unabashedly, wore two pistols, as if to review his team.

The third largest city in Qi country, Yangcheng. Liu Jun, the city's top administrator, and Huang Yong, the military governor, watched from the sidelines. Huang Yong pressed his hand on the holster of his gun and watched the crowd walking up the street.

People can see that in the People's Square, there are four chariot companies, long guns and short guns, all the bullets are loaded, the cartridges are full, everyone is riding on the chariots, the military horn is leading, everything is ready for action; In the area of the space museum and the botanical garden, the security police team stood guard from street to street; In the North Gate of the 5th Squadron of Infantry, Happy Square has half of the 76th Ranger Brigade, and the other half is in Yangcheng Prison. The rest of the army was in the barracks, and the wings around Yangcheng were not counted. The fearful government put 54,000 soldiers in the city and 60,000 soldiers in the suburbs on the heads of the angry masses.

There are all sorts of gossip circulating in the funeral procession. Some talk that as long as there is a riot, the Qin State will send troops to help the people of Qi, some say that a battalion commander in the 76th Ranger Brigade who sympathizes with the people and leads his troops to fight against the water, and a person who did not reveal his name spreads the news that at a certain time, there will be two arms factory foremen who have been won over, and the door of a weapons factory will be opened to the people. Most prominently, most of the people in this line have a look of excitement and fear on their faces.

The great crowd was so agitated that they were anxious to do something violent and noble, and there were occasional foul words mixed with it. Indeed, like the faces of gangsters, they are saying: "Hit, smash, rob, burn, kill!" Certain commotion can muddy a pool of clear water and stir up a burst of mud from the bottom of the pool.

Dressed in a suit, Liu Jun stood proudly on a balcony with a hat on, trying to persuade the masses. He was given a lot of stones in return.

The flag of Qi on one of the flagpoles was pulled down and dragged away in the sludge; At the south gate, a policeman was slashed with a knife; An officer of the 76th Ranger Brigade said in a loud voice, "I sympathize with the people, I don't want to shoot at them!"

The vigorous crowd of people, like the torrent of the river, the back waves pushed the front waves, walked down from Xiuyue District, walked to the People's Square, and then joined the team coming from the north gate, and a kind of churning and shaking terrifying momentum began to make the crowd more excited.

One man was heard saying to another, "You see the man with a little beard and a pointed blue hat under his chin, and he is the one who will tell everyone when to riot." "It is said that later in the incident that caused another riot in the capital of Goyang, it was also this mustache who took on the same task.

Suddenly, a man dressed in black and riding on a horse appeared in the crowd, holding a purple flag in his hand, some said it was a spear, and a purple scarf was tied to the tip of the spear.

The purple flag set off a storm and then disappeared. From the Avenue of Nations to the Wangfu Bridge, the crowd roared like the tide of the sea, and the crowd became turbulent.

The crowd was met by a column of infantry who were in high formation. The infantry marched slowly, silently, with pistols in holsters, sabers in sheaths, and short guns in butt holsters, watching with gloomy expressions.

The women fled in panic.

What is happening at this critical moment? No one knows. It was the moment when two lightning bolts struck, some said they heard a charge horn sounding from the side of the arsenal, others said that a child gave a dagger to an infantryman. The fact is that three shots were fired suddenly, the first shot killed the infantry platoon commander Lei Ming, the second shot killed a deaf old woman who was closing the window on Youth Street, and the third shot scratched the epaulette of an officer. One woman shouted, "It's too early!"

Suddenly, a squadron of rangers was seen rushing out of the barracks, carrying sabers, passing through the Avenue of the People and the Boulevard of Joy, sweeping through everything.

At this point, the storm is raging, and the matter is irreparable. Stones flew wildly, gunfire rang out, and many people were forced to jump into the sewage river by chariots.

The slums were filled with soldiers, some carrying sandbags, some knocking on wooden stakes, some firing pistols, and a barricade was formed, and the young men who had been driven back rushed all the way towards the security police force.

The infantry company rushed in, the chariots were crushed by the people, the crowd fled in all directions, and the roar of battle sounded in all directions of the foreign city, and everyone shouted: "Take up arms!" People ran, rushed, fled, resisted. Anger stirs up an insurrection, like a gale fanning a raging fire.

This scene is being staged in all the large, medium and small cities of Qi country.

The government regards the people as mustard, and the people regard the officials as enemies!
