Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty
C433 rice riots
"Who?" [Who is the one farting? Come on, stand up for me …] "I'll hack you alive …" When Boss Mi heard the voices from the crowd, he was immediately enraged and jumped as he cursed.
"Who said such a disheartening thing? Without the Prime Minister, if we didn't have the new army, we would have already been slaughtered clean by the Japanese, do you still want to have rice to eat? "How can a person forget their roots …"
Boss Mi's eyes were wide opened as he pointed at the corner where the voice came from and cursed, "Come out! Do you think that your grandson doesn't dare to do such a thing? "If you have the guts, then stand up for me …"
But no matter how he shouted or how the crowd searched, searching for those people in the dark night was no different from searching for a needle in a haystack.
After cursing for a long time, many of the surrounding citizens sighed, "Ah …" Boss Mi, don't scold us anymore. We are not people without conscience, we were forced to do this because our families have to eat … "Forget it, I'll just leave it up to you then. Just half a liter …"
Boss Mi calmed down for a long time and finally gave up on trying to find those few villains. The dark thousand over people could not find them even if they wanted to.
He turned around and nodded towards Second Manager. "Open up two doors and sell rice …"
With the boss's order, the shop assistant who was so scared that his face turned pale took off two pieces of door boards and started to sell rice to the common people. However, the moment the doors were sold, the situation turned bad.
"Aiya, aiya, don't push anymore …" They already said they were selling rice, why are you guys in such a hurry? "My shoes …"
"Foot, my foot …" "I'm going to die …"
For some reason, the crowd was thrown into chaos. There was always a surge of energy surging in the darkness as the crowd continuously pushed forward. Even the person at the front was almost squeezed into a picture.
When the Boss Mi saw him, he hurriedly shouted out loud, "Don't even push anymore, someone's about to die! "Damn it, close the door! If we push the door any further, the shop will collapse …"
This time, Boss Mi's plan was completely wrong. He still did not have the experience to deal with this group incident, you have already given the chaotic crowd hope, how can you close it again?
What was closed was not just a wooden board, it was the hope of people to eat. Right now, people's emotions were very subtle, it was already not easy for the crowd to maintain their rationality, how could they withstand Boss Mi's stimulation?
"No …" "My Mi …" Countless people rushed forward while shouting. Half a ton of rice was nothing compared to normal, but in the current Ba, it was the life of a family.
Everyone threw themselves forward, and a few waiters and a few wooden boards could not even be used as a shield. With a loud crash, one of the doors that were facing the street was completely destroyed, and the waiters inside the rice shop were knocked down one by one.
"Fellow villagers, fight over them..." I already told you that they are evil merchants, now do you understand … "They don't even want to sell us rice …"
"The sky is going to rain and the mother is going to marry. Take care of yourself …" Anyways, our parents and children can't starve to death, so let's rob them! "
Countless heads squeezed into the rice shop, and the shop assistant below the door was so pressured that he vomited blood. The mountain of white rice could be considered as having suffered a disaster, the crowd charged up to the door like ants and opened their rice bags, not caring about the amount of white rice scattered on the ground.
He even pulled out the self-defense handgun from the back of his waist, but before he could fire the warning shot into the air, Second Manager had already grabbed his arm and dragged him into the alley with all his might.
"My boss, please don't cause any trouble. Let them rob you …" Is money more important or is life more important? "
"Bullshit!" "It's not a matter of money. It's about military rations. More than half of the supplies in the shop are military rations …" But what's the use of shouting now? The group had fallen into a frenzy. There was no reason for them to continue right now.
"Look! There's silver coins here!" All of them were Mexican eagle s! "Everyone hurry up and fight for it …" In the end, the rice shop's silver coins were not saved, and the group of thugs finally found the treasure.
The ruckus in the ocean was growing more and more intense, it was impossible for this commotion to escape the ears of the new army. General Liang Kun, who was secretly monitoring the ship on the sea at Seven Stars Mountain, quickly received the news of the ruckus.
"What?" Mi Fa... Stealing all of our military rations? "Bastard …" Liang Kun was so angry that he did not even smash the telescope in his hands. Tonight, he was already in a bad mood, a completely new ship had appeared on the sea, no one knew what kind of scheme the Frenchmen were plotting.
Liang Kun had only rested for eight hours in total these past four days, and he was moving back and forth in the hidden fortifications like an irritable lion.
To be fair, Liang Kun and Cai Mao were not considered to be big buddies in the military. They were at most two strong generals, and their understanding of strategy was far inferior to Xiao Hexin, Sima Yun and the others. In terms of rudeness, their judgement of the situation was not even comparable to Xiang Ying and Jin Sanshun's students.
Knowledge is not an empty word. The higher the education, the higher the vision. God's perspective can help people build up the overall view.
Liang Kun and Cai Mao both had sufficient experience in actual combat. If you let them fight in a local war, they would definitely be able to accomplish exceptionally well.
The French navy was desperately bombarding the North Mountain while the army continuously charged. The military had to adjust their manpower at all times and the citizens had to be careful of the infiltration of spies … In addition to the large amount of resources that needed to be moved, countless work had already made the two generals dizzy and they were in a terrible hurry.
When Liang Kun heard that there was actually someone who dared to snatch military rations, the anger that was already simmering in his heart instantly rose up. "Damn it, before we can kill all of the enemies, the traitor is starting to get out of hand again … "Men, take two companies' men and suppress them. Those who dare rob military rations will be killed without mercy …"
"Yes sir!" The messenger turned to leave, but at that moment a line of people came in from outside the fortifications.
"Stop!" What are you going to do? What kind of order was this? How could it suppress the people? Do you still think that Ryukyu is not chaotic enough? " The person who walked in was Xiao Letian's father-in-law, manager Fan Lian.
"old shopkeeper? Why are you here, it's dangerous here! " Liang Kun would never dare to act mighty in front of Fan Lian, so he hurriedly went forward to welcome him.
Fan Lian's eyes were also bloodshot, his entire body reeking of smoke: "General, you can't do anything ah, Prime Minister has already said that the people are the water army, if we suppress the people today, who will support us anymore?"
"Aiya, old shopkeeper, at this time, you're still thinking about this? With all of our military rations stolen, what are we going to eat in the future? The French are determined to fight to the death with us, the maritime transport is sealed, the Ryukyu is in a dire need of domestic resources, without food and fodder, what do you want me to fight with? "
Fan Lian waved his hand to calm the general down, "I know, I know what you said. But have you thought about it General? There's nothing else in it? "
Although our Ryukyu is not very rich, but in the past year or so, the management power of our Prime Minister has far surpassed that of Jiangnan. I dare not say that the 100 people's families have more than 2 to 3 months' worth of food left … "
"It's only been four days since the war. I admit that the citizens are panicking and are willing to store more resources, but there's no fire in their eyes? "Why go so far as to rob people in broad daylight?"
Hearing that, Liang Kun was startled: "What do you mean?" Fan Lian slapped the table: There's something wrong here, there's definitely someone instigating us, and in the dark night, it's very difficult for us to catch these little ghosts.
"Aiya …" I'm confused! " Liang Kun smacked his head and shook his head with all her might, "I am really trash, why can't I understand this point. If some bloodshed were to occur between the citizens and the military, then the great situation that Prime Minister laid down would be completely ruined … "Damn it, damn it!"
Fan Lian took out a cigar from his bosom and lit it, then passed it to Liang Kun. "Don't be upset, you're just too busy to think about it, I have a plan for the current chaos …"
Fan Lian had guessed it right, this time's Mi Fa was being plotted against secretly. When the chaos in the rice shop reached its peak, a few sneaky figures came out from the crowd and quickly disappeared into the alley.
"Aiya, f * ck, I'm so tired. Who would have thought that this group of people would be so strong. My freely trained waist is so skillful that I was almost stepped on to death. Next time I get this kind of job, I'm not going to serve them anymore …"
"Pah …" Stubborn donkey you f * cking know how to cause trouble, it was all because of your loud voice, I almost got found out, you don't want to live anymore, don't implicate me … "
"Chang Sanhao... Are you fucking against me again? Do you really think I don't dare to beat you up? "A thing that gives face but doesn't care about face …"
The two people who were arguing were the two spy leaders from Qing Dynasty, Stubborn donkey and Chang Sanhao, and the woman in front of them was the target of jealousy, spy Sun Ximei.
"Enough, can the two of you calm down a bit? This is not the Great Qing, this is Xiao Letian's territory's Ryukyu. The two of you don't want to live anymore, I, your aunt, still want to live!"
Sun Ximei scolded them endlessly, causing the two enemies to shut their mouths, but after being quiet for a few minutes, one of the scouts suddenly ran over and said: "Master, there are dense sounds of horse hooves coming from the west, looks like Liang Kun and the rest have fallen into their trap, they have sent cavalry to suppress them right?"
Hearing that, Stubborn donkey immediately jumped up from the ground. "Alright, alright, alright, let them kill you, as long as you see the blood, Xiao Letian's people's hearts will be destroyed …"
Chang Sanhao was also excited, "That's right, that's right, that's right … "A bunch of troublesome civilians stole the military rations, I don't believe that these soldiers can endure this?"
The iron hooves of the horses trampled over the long street's flagstones, causing sparks to fly everywhere. Ryukyu was originally an island nation, so horses were scarce in here. Furthermore, they were concentrated in the hands of the army, so when the sound of horse hooves came from the long street, everyone knew that the new army had arrived.
"This is bad …" It's the new army, the new army sent cavalry, are they trying to kill us? " The old man, who was holding the sack of rice in his hand, was shaking so hard that he even forgot to run for his life.
"Oh God, what happened to me?" What's wrong with my head? "How did I dare to snatch the money …" After realizing what had happened, the woman's hands loosened up and all the silver coins fell to the ground.
Xiao Letian had only governed the Ryukyu for more than a year, and now was the time when his prestige was at its peak. The scene of him massacring the Japanese was replayed in front of everyone's eyes.
"Run..." "We've committed a great sin …" The crowd shouted out at almost the same time, and over a thousand citizens immediately flew around like houseflies. The situation instantly turned into an event of stampede.
"Who said such a disheartening thing? Without the Prime Minister, if we didn't have the new army, we would have already been slaughtered clean by the Japanese, do you still want to have rice to eat? "How can a person forget their roots …"
Boss Mi's eyes were wide opened as he pointed at the corner where the voice came from and cursed, "Come out! Do you think that your grandson doesn't dare to do such a thing? "If you have the guts, then stand up for me …"
