"Collect it. The police will take action tomorrow morning. To collect the leaflets at this time is not to cause chaos and make the villagers turn to the police. Besides, you know how many leaflets the police have dropped. How can they be collected in one night."
As soon as the idea of collecting leaflets was proposed, people objected and thought it was a bad idea.
"I also know this is a bad idea, but do you have any idea?" the veteran who came up with the idea asked, "The villagers are the basis for us to resist the police. If they surrender, how can we resist if they are close to us.
Don't forget, the police are killing people outside. Societies such as Hongxing, Dongxing, and Lian Sheng, which have a history of decades or even hundreds of years, have become history, and thousands of people have died. "
"Master Hong, what do you say, we will listen to you." Elders, you look at me and I look at you, but there is no good solution. You can only look at Master Hong and rely on him to make the decision.
"Open the treasury, take out all the money in it, and distribute it to every family in the village." Master Hong said through gritted teeth, "Tell them that if they can stop the police from demolishing the house, the money will be theirs.
Otherwise, everyone will have nothing, and the words of capitalists cannot be trusted, even Lei Weidong. If he is really like the legend, good at charity and likes to do charity, how can he become the richest man in Hong Kong. "
Young people are fun, young people are lustful, middle-aged people are rich, and old people are happy!
For Hong Ye, who is in his 60s and approaching 70, life is more important than anything else.
In order to save his life and avoid being caught by the police for target shooting, he could only give up his wealth and use the cash he had saved over the years to win people's hearts.
Anyway, his descendants have all gone abroad and have established family businesses. Even if his place is ruined, they will still be able to live without worries for the rest of their lives.
"Open the treasury and distribute all the money in it, Lord Hong. That's tens of millions. Without this money, the society will be doomed." Hearing that Lord Hong wanted to win people's hearts by handing out money, the elders present objected.
Unlike the people at the bottom who have no money and have to live in Kowloon Walled City, these old uncles are all very wealthy and have their own industries not only in Kowloon Walled City but also outside and even in foreign countries.
The reason why I stayed at Kowloon Walled City and refused to leave was not because there was too much oil and water.
Relying on their status in the society, they can make hundreds of thousands or even millions from Kowloon Walled City every year.
The society's treasury is regarded as private property by them. How can they allow Mr. Hong to use their money to win people's hearts?
"If the Kowloon Walled City cannot be saved, the society cannot be saved. If the society cannot be saved, the money can still be saved." Faced with the opposition of the elders, Mr. Hong's eyes swept over everyone like a sharp sword.
"Have you experienced what happened to the ministers under Emperor Chongzhen back then? Don't say that we are now a legal society, so history will not repeat itself."
"Emperor Chongzhen!"
Mr. Hong's words told the senior officials who are doing this to look at me and me to look at you.
The people who are doing this are not illiterate people. Those who are really illiterate and only know how to fight and kill will not be able to achieve the position of senior leader.
They also know something about what happened in the last years of the Ming Dynasty.
At that time, Li Zicheng's army came to the city, and Emperor Chongzhen, who could starve rats to death in the treasury, asked his ministers to raise donations to raise military expenses to resist the invading army.
As a result, ministers looked at me and I looked at you, and none of them were willing to pay.
Especially Chongzhen's father-in-law Zhou Kui. As the empress's father, his destiny can be said to be linked to Chongzhen. It was all thanks to the emperor's son-in-law that he transformed from a small family into a top wealthy family.
It stands to reason that if the emperor's son-in-law is in trouble, his father-in-law should help him, because for the new dynasty, his national war will be suppressed no matter what.
But Zhou Kui was extremely stingy and was unwilling to spend even a tael of silver even though he had a lot of money.
Even her daughter, Queen Zhou, secretly sold her gold and silver jewelry in exchange for 5,000 taels of silver to give to her father Zhou Kui, so that Zhou Kui could donate money in his own name so that other ministers could not laugh at him.
As a result, after Zhou Kui received the silver from his daughter Queen Zhou, he plucked the feathers, deducted 2,000 taels and handed over the remaining 3,000 taels to the state treasury.
With the example of Zhou Kui in front of him, other ministers naturally had nothing to lose.
Emperor Chongzhen, who had no money to pay, naturally could not resist Li Zicheng. After the city was destroyed, Zai Jingshan and his personal eunuch hanged themselves to death.
Li Zicheng ascended the throne as emperor.
Faced with a national treasury that could starve a rat to death and an emperor's private treasury that no rat would go to, Li Zicheng, who was lacking in influence, like Chongzhen, took the idea of Zhou Kui and all the princes, ministers, civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty, and asked them to donate money to support their salaries. .
Zhou Kui and all the civil and military officials pretended to be poor and said they had no money, just as they did during Chongzhen's time.
But Li Zicheng was not as easy to talk to as Chongzhen.
They have military power, they arrest people directly, lock them up and beat them without paying them.
Because Zhou Kui was the father-in-law of Chongzhen, he was focused on. His son, daughter, wife, and daughter-in-law were all killed, and he was beaten to death. In the end, he could no longer bear it and had to take out the money and property hidden in the basement of his home. Turn it over.
Even so, there was no way to escape death, and the entire family was wiped out.
Thinking of the tragic situation of the princes and ministers of the Ming Dynasty after Li Zicheng entered the capital, the elders no longer opposed Hong Ye's decision.
But if you don’t do it for yourself, you will be punished by heaven and earth!
They don't object to the association's money being used to win people's hearts, but they have to use their own money. I'm sorry!
Even if you beat him to death, he won't take it out.
Now is not the ancient times. No matter how powerful and awesome Lei Weidong is, he can only kill himself. How can he still kill the whole family?
Hide the money underground and don't tell anyone.
When things calm down, even if you die, just ask your family to pick it up.
"After distributing the money, gather all the young people together to set up checkpoints and traps in the corridors and alleys. Women, children and the elderly should not be idle. Before the water and electricity are cut off, prepare food, at least for a week.
Be prepared for a protracted war with the police force. "
Master Hong, who knew the temperament of the elders, saw that no one objected, so he didn't force it. He waved a few horses over and asked them to prepare.
"Understood!" Ma Zai nodded and went out to prepare.
——
Seven o'clock the next morning.
"There is a big operation today. All the police officers from the Crime Unit, Anti-Gangster Unit, CID and Mobile Unit went to the robbery room to get guns and body armor, and then went to the playground to gather and set off on time at 8 o'clock."
The Police, the West Kowloon Headquarters, the East Kowloon Headquarters and their affiliated Tsim Sha Tsui Police Station, Sham Shui Po Police Station, Mong Kok Police Station, Kowloon City Police Station, Sai Kung Police Station and other police stations all took action to prepare for the demolition of the Kowloon Walled City. Prepare.
At the same time, the security company also took action. Five thousand veterans drove forklifts, excavators, shovels, and helmets and marched towards the Kowloon Walled City.
Their mission is simple.
In addition to helping the police maintain law and order and deal with the villagers who were difficult for the police to deal with, there was also the forced demolition of the Kowloon Walled City after everyone evacuated the walled city.
The Kowloon Walled City was razed to the ground in the shortest possible time.
It's nine o'clock in the morning!
The police and veterans of the security company arrived outside the Kowloon Walled City on time.
More than 4,000 police officers with live ammunition not only surrounded the Kowloon Walled City, but also erected hundreds of loudspeakers to broadcast the Kowloon Walled City.
"Residents of the Kowloon Walled City, yesterday the Hong Kong government issued a document for the demolition of the Kowloon Walled City and stipulated compensation regulations. Anyone who owns a property in the Kowloon Walled City must prove it is reasonable and legal.
The Hong Kong government will provide compensation of 1:2.5.
For those who do not own property in the Kowloon Walled City, the Xiangjiang government will arrange for you to live in public rental housing to ensure that you have a stable place to live. At the same time, it will arrange for your children to go to school nearby and receive education.
All residents who accept the government's compensation regulations are asked to leave Kowloon Walled City with their valuables before 12 o'clock. Police Director Lei Wai-tung promised that the first 100 families who leave Kowloon Walled City will receive a resettlement payment of NT$5,000. On top of that, each household will be compensated an additional HKD 10,000.
Please remember that you must leave Kowloon Walled City before 12 o'clock. If you are late, the 10,000 yuan will be lost. "
Under the propaganda of hundreds of loudspeakers, the entire Kowloon Walled City, even the residents hiding in the basement, could hear it clearly.
"Boss, do we accept such a good offer? The battle outside is too big and I'm afraid I can't beat it." At the entrance of Kowloon Walled City,
A dozen gangsters, armed with old-fashioned pistols and rifles, hid behind the checkpoints and started rustling.
The battle outside is really too big.
More than 4,000 police officers are not only equipped with commonly used weapons such as pistols, rifles, and submachine guns, but also equipped with police armored vehicles, ten tanks, and ten self-propelled artillery pieces.
Yes!
In order to give the Kowloon Walled City the greatest shock, Lei Weidong brought all the tanks.
These are the T80U tanks that came to Xiangjiang with the Black Sea Fleet and the 2S19 self-propelled howitzers based on the T80U tanks. Since there was no shortage of these in the mainland, Lei Weidong left them in Xiangjiang and equipped them with the police.
But not many, because there was no war in Xiangjiang, it was just a show. Lei Weidong also left only twenty vehicles.
This time, in order to deter the Kowloon Walled City, Lei Weidong sent these powerful weapons.
Looking at the dark hole of the gun, and looking at the small pistol in his hand, he was responsible for blocking the door and the gangsters. His fighting spirit dropped to the lowest level, and he was about to become a loser.
"Go out and surrender. You have forgotten the rules of the society, cheated on others, and feared death, but you will be punished with three swords and nine holes." The leader, Shuanghuahongguan, glared at his younger brother and threatened.
"Don't worry, those tanks and cannons are just for show and won't fire. This is Xiangjiang. If the police just fire, it won't have much impact, but if they fire, it will definitely shock the world. Even Lei Weidong can't bear it. .”
"But boss, even if we don't fire cannons, we still have this formation." The younger brother lowered his head and said.
There were not only police officers outside, but also thousands of big men wearing hard hats and holding shovels and hammers.
These people were also heavily armed.
Looking at hundreds of forklifts, excavators, and road rollers following the police, these machines are the most terrifying compared to the armored vehicles in the hands of the police. They can easily level the Kowloon Walled City.
"If the sky falls, there will be support from above. We just need to do our own thing well." Shuanghuahongguan lowered his head and said.
Still in the teahouse of the walled city, Mr. Hong and a dozen of his uncles were sitting in a circle, all of them looking extremely ugly.
Although we knew yesterday that the police were going to take action and made corresponding preparations, it was only when the incident happened that we realized that the force deployed by the police was so huge that it was completely unexpected.
In the past several forced demolitions presided over by Gui Lao, the largest police force deployed was only a thousand people. They were driven back only after tens of thousands of villagers fought desperately to resist.
today!
The police force alone rescued more than 4,000 people. They were not only equipped with light weapons, but also heavy weapons tanks and self-propelled artillery.
These two are the kings of land warfare and the aces in the army. To demolish and attack societies is really like using cannon to swat mosquitoes.
As long as a few shots are fired outside, the morale of the people in the village will drop to zero.
No matter how awesome the association is, it can only compete with the police and the army...
Even if the tank doesn't fire, the hundreds of construction machinery following behind can...
"Master Hong, the police outside have given false information to us. Let us put down our weapons and go out and surrender. They will forget about it, otherwise!" Just when Master Hong and others didn't know what to do, a horse boy ran into the teahouse lobby and said:
"Brothers asked what to do, fight or surrender?"
"Fight or surrender!" Mr. Hong smiled bitterly upon hearing this, "Are the checkpoints and traps ready?"
"Everything is ready, but the morale is not very good. The cannons outside are too scary. If we hadn't been prepared in advance, many people would just go out and surrender."
The younger brother lowered his head and said.
Again, the association dares to challenge the police, but with the army, gangsters who like to bully the weak and fear the strong will run as far as they can.
"Don't worry, the tanks and artillery are just for show. They don't dare to fire. Just do what we said yesterday. As long as the police take action, they will gather all the villagers and make sure to defend our home."
"Understood, Mr. Hung, we must defend our home." Mr. Hung has been in Kowloon Walled City for more than ten years, and his prestige is extremely high. Even if the police force comes to the territory, the policemen still dare not have second thoughts.
"Go and get ready!" Mr. Hong waved his hand and signaled Ma Zai to go out.
——
"Brother Dong, Karen reported at Kowloon Walled City. It's already half past ten. No one in the Walled City has come out to surrender. It seems that people like Mr. Hong have managed the Kowloon Walled City obediently. The villagers dare not speak out anymore. .”
Meazi pushed open the door of Lei Weidong's office and walked in to report.
"Let the tea restaurant deliver food to everyone, finish the meal on time at 11:20, and start on time at 12 o'clock." Lei Weidong didn't care at all about the stubborn resistance of the Kowloon Walled City.
Just hit him.
More than 10,000 and nearly 20,000 people have already been shot, and they don't care about killing thousands more, so they just bombard them with artillery.
"Brother Dong, do you really want to fire a cannon? They are gangsters inside, not an army. Isn't it a bit excessive to use a cannon?" Meiko asked in a low voice.
"It's just because they are gangsters that I let the cannon clear the way. These people are bullies who are afraid of the strong. If they rush in without firing the cannon, the traps all over Kowloon City will make the attacking police officers miserable.
It is possible to lose dozens or even hundreds of people.
But if you use big artillery to blast out a road, I don't believe that those gangsters can have the toughness of the army to survive and surrender. Lei Weidong tapped his fingers on the table and said:
"First let the tanks open fire and bombard the gate of Kowloon Walled City. If it doesn't work, use cannons to clear the way."
