Although the nobles were all embarrassed, they reluctantly agreed. Now the majesty of Earl Isiris is still very high, and the central nobles in the western royal court still occupy the most dominant position. Under the order of the royal court, they Not yet high enough to be the same as the central nobleman, just when tomorrow's tactics seem to have been finalized, two messengers suddenly ran outside the door and attached their ears to Count Isiris and Count Alama.

The faces of the two counts changed drastically when they heard the news, as if they had heard something unbelievable. The two of them fell silent for a moment, and glanced around the crowd with a hint of sternness in their eyes, but in the end neither of them dared to act. , just sighed helplessly, announced the adjournment of the meeting and called all the central nobles to leave to continue discussing matters.

This kind of change, even the most stupid nobles know that something big may have happened, and judging from the performance of Alama and Isiris just now, the news may be enough to shake some important things, and even make the two of them disagree. The nobles in the northwest and southwest developed hostility, or killing intent.The army headquarters was already a place of right and wrong, and all the nobles immediately rode back to their own army to inquire about news from their own soldiers. Sure enough, a piece of news reached their ears only three hours late that night.

The coalition forces of the northern nobles and the northeast nobles announced just two days ago that they would cooperate with Ben Shamin's army, stop attacking and defending, and jointly control the affairs of the two provinces. The battle for the provisional government.

125 Unite...

The withdrawal of the north from the war was unexpected but not particularly surprising. According to what Yuan Yuan said when he returned to the Hyperion Barracks to talk to other generals, Ben Shamin’s army and the coalition forces of the northern nobles have been fighting from February last year to this year. May is already very interesting. During this period, people fought life and death. The western royal court and the central government did not start fighting until May of the following year. It has long been prepared to plan for peaceful co-governance.

For the decision of Marshal Ben Shaming and the northern nobles to collude with each other, both the western royal court and the central government strongly condemned and denied them, and ordered them to start the war again, and must drive each other out of the northern region, but unfortunately, this Both Sha Ming and Windsor pretended to be deaf and dumb, pretending not to know, but on the contrary, they gradually became you among me.

The two major powers ordered them to express their stance and swear allegiance to the royal family, but Ben Shamin just tactfully said that the Northern Self-Government Government will always be loyal to the Yongdalim royal family, but never mentioned whether they are loyal to His Majesty Aisha or His Majesty Alexander. Neither the royal court nor the central government can do anything about it. Suppression is definitely impossible. Whether this group of people in the north goes south to threaten the central province, or goes west to attack the northwest province, neither side can bear it.

Therefore, the two sides could only acquiesce in the autonomy of the north. This acquiescence greatly damaged the authority of both sides, especially the royal court in the west. On the second day, he expressed his dissatisfaction with the central nobles with practical actions. On the second day, no noble army chose to cross the tributary of the Yongjiang River or the mountains to counterattack. Faced with this situation, Earl Isiris could only give up the attack and chose to work with Earl Alama to stabilize the interior.

This kind of problem may only be a matter of public opinion for the central government. After all, it is not a big deal. The frontlines are reporting frequently. The government officials and soldiers in the southeast are also fighting the local nobles without compromise. It is only a matter of time before the central government. Countless nobles from the southeastern provinces were driven out of the southeastern provinces and forced to join the nobles in the south-central or northeastern provinces. According to the information obtained by the central government, it is estimated that they will go southeast around July this year. The province is about to be declared completely under the control of the provisional government.

But what really made the United Legion give up its offensive and shake the morale of the army was another problem that had intensified since the establishment of the interim government, workers and taxes.

The contradictions between factory owners and workers, tax collectors and small businessmen have not eased in the slightest. With the gradual stabilization of the provisional government in which officials and businessmen control all affairs, these people seem to have the style of a new king. No matter how much tax, the big businessmen will not pay if they don’t pay it, and the officials will seize the property if they say that they seize the property, which is not ambiguous at all.

This kind of oppression has made the majority of workers in the central province intolerable. The labor and unified tax proposal made the workers in Wangcheng really honest for half a year. Under the leadership of Leszek, many workers took to the streets and expressed strong dissatisfaction with the decisions of the parliament and the provisional government.

They chanted the slogan of ten hours of work and the rest of the time for themselves. Clashes broke out with the soldiers and defenders of Wangcheng. Many workers were arrested and imprisoned, and some were even beaten to death in the street. Instead of adding fuel to the fire, it will only lead to more violent opposition. This contradiction finally reached its peak on the evening of May NO.14.

In a rally, countless workers gathered in front of the government building in the parliament hall this evening. They gathered here full of anger. Everyone was silent and did not utter a single word. Feeling particularly terrifying, Mr. Asteroid Fall once said: If you don’t explode in silence, you will perish in silence. With the character of the Yongdalim people, once someone is willing to stand up and speak for them, they will never go to the battlefield in silence. perishing.

The big clock of the nun’s convent in Wangcheng rang six times, and it was already six o’clock. The representatives of the parliament began to file out. When they saw the excited and silent crowd of workers outside, they no longer dared to speak, and each of them dared not make a sound. Under the escort of the military police, they went down the side steps. None of the representatives dared to walk on the front steps. Although they disdain these mud legs, they are not stupid. I didn't want to stab you secretly, who do you complain to?Military police can arrest people, but you have already been stabbed, so what's the point of arresting ten or one hundred.

Only one person came out to attract everyone's attention. A bald, unattractive gentleman in a formal suit came out of the building with a briefcase. His appearance immediately caused a moment's commotion among the workers. In an instant, everyone was calm again, because they all knew that this gentleman would definitely come to give an explanation.

Sun Boyang stood in front of the workers for a long time. In fact, he was mentally prepared for the proposal not to pass. Although Commander Victor wanted to support him, the power under him was extremely scattered, and it was impossible to facilitate the passage of the proposal. Now, the workers can The only thing I can rely on is myself.

Sun Boyang handed the briefcase in his hand to the guard at the side. He put his hands on his hips and straightened his suit back, and said to everyone with a serious and angry face.

"As the workers expected, the proposal was rejected."

"This is the stubbornness of the bourgeoisie and their ruthless oppression of workers' friends. This kind of oppression is impossible to maintain. As long as we exist, as long as we have energy, we must get rid of him." Sun Boyang continued. .

"Nothing was discussed today, whether it was the military or workers' issues, they didn't talk about anything, they just kept holding some heavy documents listing my crimes, and wanted me to resign on various charges, Obviously, they succeeded." Sun Boyang continued in a calm tone.

"Why should they!"

"How dare they!"

"These beasts, heartless things."

The workers immediately became filled with righteous indignation, shouting angrily while waving their fists.

No one thought that those bastard factory owners and officials would target Sun Boyang and dismiss him from the post of chairman of the parliament. The workers were angered by the unabashed arrogance and arrogance of the bourgeoisie. To find out a representative to vent their anger, only to find that those timid representatives had either slipped away early, or did not go down the steps, and instead walked towards the back.

"Because they suspected that I was the person in charge of Leszek. And Mr. Okdo was also dismissed by them as the Minister of Central and South China for this crime." Sun Boyang looked around the workers and explained to everyone.

"I don't hide and don't need to hide my identity. Yes, their suspicions are right. I am a member of Leszek, and I am extremely proud of helping workers and peasants fight for the right to life! "Sun Boyang also waved his fist and said.

"it is good!"

"it is good!"

The workers applauded enthusiastically, showing respect for Sun Boyang's defying power. Sun Boyang motioned for everyone to be quiet and continued.

"If they're going to attack me for being a representative of Leszek, let them say it. There's nothing in the kingdom's charter that says that people like you and me are not allowed to exist. Workers, I just want to say , when the bourgeoisie shows their ugly face, there is absolutely no such thing as compromise, and only a struggle without compromise can force them to seriously consider our opinions.”

"It doesn't matter if I don't become the speaker. Anyway, I take this position for the sake of my friends. If I hold this position and don't help you, then I should be cast aside. Workers, the original intention of Leszek was to serve The vast masses of workers and peasants serve the oppressed people. It’s okay not to be the speaker, and it’s okay to break with the officials. It’s not a big deal to be hated by the bourgeoisie. Surrounding me with filthy people is more beneficial to my work, which is to fight for my friends!"

Sun Boyang stretched out his false quotations, and his words aroused applause again. Everyone's backbone has never been lost. As long as Mr. Sun Boyang is on this day, the bourgeoisie will never succeed in their plot.

"Okedo once suggested that I take refuge in Central South and work there. I know that the peasant brothers there and the [-]th Army who are fighting for us also need help, but I know better that you must never give up. As a member of the Leszek brothers, the power of workers is infinite. We must believe that as long as we are united, there will be no difficulties we cannot overcome. Remember what I said that day.

"If silent confrontation fails, we will shout out. If shouting does not attract their attention, we will take to the streets. If taking to the streets will only lead to bloody suppression, we will take up arms and fight for the last time. .”

"Strikes must be organized, demonstrations must be organized, and all walks of life must be organized to fight against the brutal oppression of the bourgeoisie! Leszek is not just a name for some people, it is the common cause of all our fellow workers and peasants, and all oppressed people. name!"

The bourgeoisie finally realized what a labor movement is. Compared with the present, the previous workers' protests were nothing more than a drizzle. Only at this moment did they realize that the workers were going to play for real.

Numerous factory workers went on strike under the organization, refusing to go to work, and the oppressed small businessmen also shouted and carried out the strike movement, and the students of the engineering college also responded to the strike, took to the streets and waved flags to parade together, transporting Workers also refused to transport food and salaries for the United Corps, and workers in various arsenals no longer started to manufacture weapons.Workers' strikes, businessmen's strikes, and students' strikes. The famous May [-]th labor movement, which is engraved in the history of Yongdalim, officially kicked off and stepped onto the stage of history.

A gentleman once said that the strike heralds the coming of social war. He is the military academy of the workers, where they are trained to throw themselves into the inevitable great struggle.If anyone saw this great cause and struggle, they probably couldn't help but hum that song.

This is the final struggle, united, to...  

126 Bloodshed

"Have you heard? All the arsenal workers in the north of the city are on strike. The urgent letter from the front line was just delivered yesterday. They need bullets and shells, as well as bows and arrows, and weapons." Deputy Commander Maxim and Minister Matvey sat in the carriage He said while smoking a cigarette.

"Not only the workers in the north of the city, but also the workers in the south of the city stopped working, no matter if they made matches, paper or cigarettes, or textiles, wine, or machinery. Even transport workers and coal workers went on strike. Already." Matvey opened the curtain of the carriage and looked outside, the workers outside were marching aggressively, their steps were uniform and steady, the team was huge and long, Maxim's carriage could only go this way, to make way for this angry worker.

"A bunch of mud legs." Matvey lowered the curtain and took another puff of cigarette.

"This is definitely not going to work. The front-line army cannot fight without weapons. The arsenal and transport workers must go to work as soon as possible to support the front-line battle." Maxim said.

"We have to give them a good look, we can't let them go on like this, we have to charge them with treason, and drive them to work as soon as possible." Matvey also said.

"It's not easy, that's what I said, but it's difficult to do it." Maxim took another drag on his cigarette and said.

"The charter does not mention that these workers are not allowed to strike or march. On the contrary, the damn Sun Boyang also mentioned in the charter that everyone has the right to pursue freedom and equality. It is really hard to start."

"A new law must be formulated as soon as possible to prevent them from striking and marching. If I ask you, Sun Boyang should be arrested. While he is still in Wangcheng, he can be dealt with and arrested. If he goes to the Central South Government, then It's difficult." Matt said in a low voice, leaning forward.

"It's not that easy. This guy is under the protection of His Majesty Alexander, and he must be carefully considered before taking him with a knife. Otherwise, he will be imprisoned. If His Majesty uses the power of amnesty, it will be a useless effort." Maxim said with his legs crossed.

"This damn strike." Matvey poked his head out angrily again to look at the workers who were still marching.

"It's a riot!"

The marching workers were like a solid city wall. They walked from the end of the street to the government building to petition again. During this period of time, a strict martial law had been enforced near the government building, and the soldiers were here to block irrelevant people like vicious dogs. Come, with a large wooden tripod behind them, one by one stands aggressively in front with their hips akimbo, holding either a long stick or a short stick in their hands, this is their housekeeping skill, if necessary, They will even take up firecrackers and swords to suppress.

They watched the workers coming from the side of the street, and the parade team held banners and strips and marched towards this side. Every soldier held his stick tightly, ready to suppress at any time.

"Workers!"

One of the leading transport workers said with a punch behind him.

Wearing gray suspenders and a black beret, he rolled up his sleeves and shouted vigorously to the workers behind him.

"What do we want!"

"Minimum wage, maximum working hours!" The workers also waved their hands and shouted in unison.

"Who should be responsible for our injuries and illnesses!"

"Factory owners and bosses!"

"Who do we need!"

"Let Mr. Sun Boyang return to the parliament!"

Not just one cry, but multiple calls, everyone was chanting slogans repeatedly, and walked towards the soldiers without fear. They also held hands with each other and walked forward at a trotting pace.

"Workers unite!" shouted the transport worker

They sang the song in unison, the song of the laborers and the proletarians, and they sang it with stride and chest, with anger at the bourgeoisie and pride at the workers.

(Forward! Don't forget. What our strength is made of!)

(whether hungry or hungry)

(Forward! Don't forget! Solidarity breaks gold!) the workers sang loudly.

(People on Yondalim, unite in faith.)

(Yondalim belongs to us, the mother who gave birth to us and raised us!) The leader, the Leszek workers with red armbands, led the singing again.

(Forward! Don't forget! What our strength is made of!)

"The army j is ready to suppress the workers' riot!" Some army j on horseback shouted to the army j in front from a distance.

Among the team, a guy with a mischievous eyebrow suddenly took out a short fire blunderbuss from his pocket and lifted it to the sky. The surrounding workers immediately stretched out their hands to stop him.

"No shooting! You forgot the discipline of the parade!" shouted a worker.

The firecrackers were shot towards the sky, and the loud sound suppressed the workers singing in unison, which made everyone startled. Then there was another sound of firecrackers shot into the sky, and the soldiers in front seemed to be holding their hands As soon as the order was given, they rushed up like wolves and tigers, brandishing sticks to beat the workers, arresting the workers, and soldiers on horseback rushed into the parade and beat around with sticks, disrupting the parade.

The workers still wanted to resist, and moved forward with sticks on their bodies. This time, a group of soldiers in white uniforms rushed out from the vicinity of the government building. Standing in front of them, they all picked up the guns and fired at the workers.

Scattering helplessly, the workers could only temporarily avoid the edge in front of force. The soldiers ran and chased the workers with sticks, leaving behind a mess and corpses, shoes and hats everywhere, and all kinds of torn clothes And a slogan sign with footprints on it.Blood was scattered everywhere, recording this ugly crime on the ground, and even the birds were crying out in anger and sorrow for all of this.

This was the first time that the bourgeoisie opened fire on the mass of workers who were demonstrating.

Hai Yi'an is standing on the second floor of the newspaper office and is devoting himself to writing. He is writing today's article in support of the righteous march of the workers. For many days, he has no idea how many times he has been besieged by pedantic and self-proclaimed writers for supporting the workers. After all, there are very few literati like him, only a few scattered new graduates from engineering colleges and some Qingxiu priests supporting him.

But he was not complacent, he countered the criticisms of those academics with [-]% enthusiasm, and deeply expressed his solidarity with workers and friends with sympathy and support.For the sake of convenience and to support today's new round of demonstrations, Hai Yi'an simply came to the newspaper office to write, so as to understand the situation of the workers more conveniently. After all, Leszek workers would come to the newspaper office from time to time to talk about the current situation.

There was a noise, it was exclamation and shouting, and painful, the sound of heavy objects hitting.The sharp whistle sounded from time to time, and the sound of firecrackers was heard in the distance. Hai Yi'an felt uneasy for a while. He stood up and walked towards the window and opened the curtains to look. With the door closed, the workers ran around, some lost their shoes, some took off their shirts in order to escape the army's attack, and some waved signs to fight back, but were quickly attacked by the besieging army. Knocked down.

A scene of doomsday, more terrifying than demons coming in, it's like a battle between two species, Hai Yi'an saw the workers being mercilessly beaten, dragged away, and arrested by the soldiers, and suddenly felt in his heart A wave of anger was about to burst out, and he was about to stretch out his hand to yell while holding the window rail tightly. The little Spandy behind him hurried up to stop Hai Yi'an, and pulled him back by the waist. The others were also watching for a long time in front of the window , I probably understood something, and hurried up to comfort Hai Yi'an, advising him to be cold-hearted, the military jerk dare not do anything to you here, but what should you do if you want to go back?

Hai Yian got angry for the first time, this was the first time he was angry in more than a year, he sat on the chair and pressed the table tightly, his chest heaved and heaved, obviously harboring great indignation, he said angrily Speechless, I never expected that the military police would dare to do this, dare to directly attack the workers who were marching.

"Mr. Hai Yi'an." Little Spandy was afraid that Hai Yi'an would faint from anger, so he quickly brought a glass of water and said.

"Bring a pen." Hai Yi'an suppressed his anger and reached out to the other staff of the newspaper office, took the pen and turned to lean on the desk.

Hai Yi'an couldn't write for a long time, he didn't know how to describe this atrocity, a newspaper employee came up at an untimely moment, and loudly yelled at everyone about the cause and effect of this bloody incident, which made Hai Yi'an finally understand what the bourgeoisie really was How despicable it can be, he wrote with a heavy pen, and wrote this article mourning for the workers and declaring war on the bourgeoisie.

: Just today, I saw a horrible sight...

If there is any war that is more cruel than the killing of creatures of different races, it is probably what I saw today, the evil deeds that even animals can't do...

......

Here, I call on all workers to unite and never be oppressed by the bourgeoisie. We mourn the workers who died in this march with a heavy heart, and turn this mood into infinite motivation.

A Leszek worker held a newspaper and read it to other workers.

When the crowd quieted down, everyone put down the newspapers and looked at the figure who was coming, the figure who was still leading everyone to resist in front, he looked much thinner, probably caused by the heavy work these days, the blue-haired figure next to him The little girl seemed to be afraid that he would fall, and hugged his arm tightly.Although he has lost a lot of weight, his expression is still very powerful, making people feel that there is still great hope when they look at the past. All the workers think so, and it is also a strong appeal that makes the workers Gather here patiently again, listening to his guidance.

In the May 30 incident, the military police created the first bloody incident since the labor movement. More than a dozen workers were beaten to death in the street, and more than [-] were arrested. It is unknown how many workers were injured.Afterwards, the military officer actually countered that the marching workers used firecrackers to shoot at the military officer first, and the military officer had no choice but to fight back.The bourgeoisie may think this trick is very useful and can effectively defeat the workers' movement, but unfortunately, they will soon know the consequences.

127 Persistence is Victory

In recent days, Sun Boyang cannot be said to be busy, but he is busy going around. Workers in various Wangcheng places need to meet, encourage, and organize. This kind of large-scale worker activities must be strictly planned. A strike workers’ committee must be established. Notify the factories that Leszek is working, that he cannot do anything without him, and do everything by himself.On the women's side, Adelina has already been able to take charge of her own affairs. He was elected as the head of the Women's Association in the city. She is responsible for the ideological work of the workers' families and the joint support of women for the past ten days.

The strike has been going on for more than ten days. The bourgeoisie gradually showed their prototype from the hypocrisy and hypocrisy at the beginning, revealing their ugly faces. The bloody incident was not just this parade. Just yesterday, when the soldiers escorted a large factory owner to confront the workers, there was another conflict, which turned into a bloody incident.

The bloodshed that followed one after another intensified. If they guessed right, their next move would be to mobilize the Shivanov garrison stationed in the city to suppress it.

Faced with this situation, all the workers in Wangcheng came to the gate of the Toliask factory to participate in this rally. The workers in Sun Boyang's factory were the first batch of strikers who announced the strike. With the support of Sun Boyang, they helped other factories In the labor movement, everyone has a belief that they must win.

At this conference, almost all Leszek workers and prominent people who supported the labor movement came, such as Hai Yi'an, as well as priests sent by the Holy See, representatives of the Merchant Federation, and members of the Magicians Union. The communicators wait, they sit in the seats and wait to talk to each other, waiting for the arrival of the owner in the middle position.

Sun Boyang came with the same serious face as before, and the meeting went straight to the point without a beginning. Everyone was very eager to know the next step.

"Workers, not long ago, the bourgeoisie brutally concocted many bloody incidents, framing us workers, many workers were arrested, and many workers were injured. These workers are either being actively rescued by the strike committee, or have already They were sent to the workers' hospital for treatment, and most of them are out of danger." Sun Boyang said to everyone around him with his arms akimbo.

The workers heaved a sigh of relief when they heard the news, and smiled at each other to cheer each other up.

"However, it is impossible for those workers who died to come back to life. They were forced to die by the bourgeoisie on the charge of rioting. This amazing and heinous act is even more terrifying than the devil, but that's it, I just want to say , the more this is the case, the more you must persevere!"

"The revelation of the bourgeoisie's true nature and their further actions are nothing more than anticipating one thing. They can't hold on anymore. They have already begun to fear and have no choice but to take such an action to suppress us by force." Sun Boyang said loudly to everyone .

"This diabolical atrocity just proves that strikes work. Not just factory workers, but coal workers and transport workers are mobilized. Everyone is fighting against this atrocity. Workers, I say, this is the time When the labor movement is at its most dangerous, if they shrink back and make concessions at this time, they will be more determined that this atrocity is effective and can force us to bow our heads!"

"I received such a threatening letter today, threatening me in the letter, asking me to direct the workers to resume work immediately, or I will die on the street." Sun Boyang took out the letter from his arms and said.

"It's not just me, other representatives have also received such threatening letters. Rudeness and malice are engraved in these letters. My house was also attacked by a group of thugs yesterday. Fortunately, they failed to climb over the fence. They just set fire to it and ran away. It's gone." Sun Boyang continued to look around at everyone seriously and said.

"This is atrocity!"

"I guess it was instigated by those big bosses." The workers cursed this kind of atrocity.

"And more, the council even brought this signal that he threatened me and the other deputies with the arrest of us members of the strike committee if the strike was not dissolved as soon as possible. me."

Sun Boyang smiled disdainfully with the other workers, and laughed mockingly at the bourgeoisie's eagerness to jump over the wall.

"Since they conspired to sabotage the parade, we must be more cautious and united, and be vigilant against the lackeys of the bourgeoisie in the ranks. Everyone must persevere in this extremely difficult time. The union is giving material support to the striking workers, helping everyone in the form of donating food and daily necessities."

"Workmates! Unite! Get through the most dangerous stage!"

With thunderous applause, the workers got the answer they wanted. The strike is still going on. A month later, there is still no sign of the factories opening. The workers are still fighting the bourgeoisie uncompromisingly.
