The whole attack happened suddenly but ended quickly. The premeditated attack started at about 4 a.m., and by about 6 a.m., all the men in black had withdrawn.
In just an hour, the court was caught off guard!
In fact, no one thought that someone would start rushing to the construction site. The construction site itself did not have much oil and water, and the cash was not much. A construction site with more than a hundred thousand cash would be the end.
The rest of the valuables are bulky goods that cannot be carried! Cement, rails and specially anti-corrosion treated sleepers are indeed very valuable, but they are too heavy and no one can move them!
So from the beginning to the end, the court never imagined that these places would encounter such organized attacks. The defense force deployed by the court was actually to catch thieves and prevent workers from fighting!
That's all, so there are no elites, just officers and soldiers from the local green battalion and officers from various counties!
It is conceivable that these people's defense against these long-planned sneak attacks was not just like paper, there was not even an organized resistance at all!
For an hour, the gangsters left countless fire points, killed dozens of Manchu supervisors, dumped cement and steel bars, and destroyed railways one after another.
And there were many slogans written on the walls of the construction site to kill the Tatars, or to avenge the workers in the capital!
After large-scale local garrison support arrived, the various construction sites were already in a mess. Many workers who caused trouble had fled, leaving only one-third of the old, weak, sick and disabled people who had not participated in the riots.
The local officials hesitated. Before they report the situation to the court, they must negotiate with each other how to word it and how to minimize their own crimes.
But everyone has forgotten that the Qing Dynasty also had a very transcendent government office, which was the Qing Telegraph Bureau, the territory of Master Qing!
The telegraph operators at various construction sites crawled out from under their beds in fright. When they saw that the telegraph wires were not damaged, they immediately reported the situation to Third Master immediately!
Before the county magistrate here could think of words, the telegraph office had already sent the telegram to the Forbidden City, and it became a piece of paper on the emperor's desk!
All the blood on Zai Chun's face had been drained, his hands and feet were cold, and the most terrifying scene appeared. "I should have thought of it a long time ago, I should have thought of it a long time ago!"
"How can these shameless managers not excite Mingyuan when they exploit the people like this? This kind of thing is like a volcano. You seem calm, but if there is any disturbance, it will explode!"
"Tell me... is it okay if we don't enforce things strictly? If we don't enforce things strictly, the world will still have to rebel!"
"Yi Pei! What do you think...what should I do? Do I have to let these bastards go just because these banner men knock Luan?"
"They have forced the people to rebel, and Nianzi has been forced out again... and you still want me to spare their lives?"
Yi Pei knelt on the ground and was frightened. He took a few steps and hugged the emperor's leg and choked with sobs, "Your Majesty, calm down first. Things are not clear yet. We haven't investigated what happened on the railway!"
"Give the court some time, let's find out the inside story first and then make a decision, okay?"
Third Master Qing also crawled over, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty is right. We have no idea how many people have died at the construction site, how much property has been lost, and where the gangsters have fled to!"
"My eyes are darkened. You can't make a rash decision out of anger at this time! I ask your Majesty to order the court to disperse immediately. I will take people down below to investigate. I will definitely help Long live the investigation!"
"How about you wait until the long live master has figured out all the information before making a decision?"
Prince Dun also said, "That's right. I also suggested that the capital should include the capital area. I immediately responded and the Xishan Camp and the Yulin New Army controlled the traffic arteries!"
"Strict investigations have begun within the capital, and martial law will be tightened at night! In extraordinary times, extraordinary measures must be taken!"
Zai Chun took deep breaths continuously and closed his eyes. He suddenly remembered what Er Mao said to him a few days ago. His heart skipped a beat. "Okay... Da Si Xi, you go and tell the ministers to withdraw from the court. Today's matters will be discussed later." !”
"Fuqing, please immediately take people to carefully investigate the clues of the construction site and make statistics... Uncle Wuhuang, mobilize the Xishan Battalion to control the roads and canals in and out of the capital, and strictly prevent the Nianzi from causing chaos..."
"Pass the decree to King Yu's true character..."
Zai Chun's edicts were all related to the safety of the capital and the investigation of the case. The people around him ran out one by one, until he was the only one left in the end.
Zai Chun lowered his head and said nothing, just like an old monk in trance. He heard the chaotic footsteps in the Yangxin Hall. He knew that the ministers were retreating. After a while, the chaotic sounds disappeared, and there was death in the Yangxin Hall. The same silence.
"Er Mao... you are right, you don't want me to make a big fuss because you think I am too lucky... So have I used up all my luck now?"
"Your Majesty! What is luck? My godfather said that luck is just a matter of following the gaps between the forces of all parties after analyzing the situation!"
Er Mao came out of nowhere and stood next to the little emperor and poured a cup of warm tea. "My godfather said that the only thing that makes up a court is one kind of force. It is made up of many forces!"
"Every force has its own ideas and interests. Because they are different, their actions are also different!"
"Like powerful cyclones in the air, each seems to have its own territory, but once they collide, it will be a bloody storm!"
"A person's good luck ultimately means that he clearly understands the trajectory of all forces, and then looks for gaps between these cyclones like a ghost, like a swimming fish or a flying bird... dexterously borrowing the force to fight, thus Achieve your goals and go where you want!"
"This is luck! This is what my godfather told me, and I only understand 60-70% of it... If your Majesty asks, I will repeat it to you!"
Zai Chun looked up at Er Mao and sighed, "Hey...it's difficult! It's difficult for you! The Eight Banners have their own ideas, and they refuse to compromise life and death. The people still have their own thoughts, and they will rebel if pressed..."
"What should I do? If Guang Liang, the general manager of the Tenth Route, is spared, the anger in the hearts of the people will not be quelled. They will continue to make troubles in the future, let alone twisting them. I believe that they will make trouble again! "
"But if people like Guang Liang are severely punished and vent their anger on the people... people like the Eight Banners will go crazy. I can't really kill them all. Then the people will kowtow every day and complain to the Queen Mother every day. The people will continue to Arrange me!"
"This also shakes the foundation of my rule!"
"Er Mao...what do you think I should choose?"
Er Mao shook his head, "I don't know how to choose...but I ask Your Majesty to pay attention. What Weng Tonghe and Li Hongzao said today also has profound meanings!"
"Didn't you analyze it?"
