Chapter 53 Out of Control
The sound rang out, and everyone was stunned for that moment, and time seemed to be solidifying and pressing on everyone. Whether it was the one who shot or the one who was shot, they all widened their eyes at that moment, as if they couldn't believe it was true.
However, human instincts are not suppressed by reason, especially at such critical moments, the subconscious tension and panic cannot be suppressed by normal thinking. The first gunshot sounded, and the other guards who were already highly nervous could no longer hold on. The extremely tight string in their minds suddenly broke, and subconsciously, they pulled the trigger.
In the flash of lightning, the bullets came out of the chamber, whistling and swirling towards the crowd. Before the sound of "pah!" was completely transmitted to the eardrums of people, blood was splashed on the bodies of the miners in the front. Some were shot on the shoulders, some were shot on the arm, and some were shot on the abdomen. At such a close distance, it was even more incredible to hit or hit.
Killing someone!
Howling, crying, whining, whistling sounds gathered into a unique rhythm to pierce the entire sky. Everyone was stunned. The gun shot stared at the crowd rushing towards the opposite side. With a loose hand, a clang, the rifle in his hand fell to the ground. The person who was shot was also staring at the blood gushing out of his body. Fear first overwhelmed the pain from his body and nerves, and then the heart-wrenching cry.
"Don't shoot, don't shoot." After firing the first shot, Wang Kun was the first to react from the shock and shouted anxiously. But he said it quickly, and it was too late, and before he could finish his words, the gunshots rang again. He only felt a blank mind. Although he wanted to suppress and eliminate the "trouble" of miners, he would not and did not plan to adopt such naked violence - this was just an unexpected emergency, all by chance.
Because if he really wants to use force, he doesn't have to face so many people, just order a killing attack directly. Is it necessary to waste more words?
Unfortunately, his words were too late and they would not have any effect at all. In almost a second, the entire miner group burst out with shocking rage and tragedy, easily tearing the entire scene apart.
"Brother Li...", "Brother Zhang..." shouts one after another. Many people stopped and called on their brothers who were together day and night. The figure who was still alive just now has become a corpse that gradually became hard and cold. More people blushed and rushed over desperately. They shouted: "Fight with ***!"
The crowd wrestled into a ball, the scene was in chaos, and the people behind didn't know what was going on before, and only heard gunshots and shouts... Driven by instinctively, continue to rush forward - at the moment of group loss, in the moment of anger and grief suppression. There is only a simple acceptance left in normal people's minds. Once someone shouts out what to do, they will pounce on them regardless of the consequences.
The raging fire of revenge was ignited, and the huge miner team was surrounded by small, squeezed into a group of local capital representatives, forming a totally unpredictable situation, and in an instant, the parties involved in the violent conflict. Fists were flying, and plasma splattered everywhere. At the door of the mining office, nearly a thousand people performed a full war. Within just half a minute, the situation was out of control.
There is a situation that proves that the guards have no preset to shoot and massacre. After firing the first shot, the group of guards no longer had the courage to shoot the second shot. Their minds were as frightened as the anger in the minds of the miners opposite, but they could no longer tolerate them thinking too much. Soon, fists, elbows, legs and feet rushed towards them. There was no way to retreat and no way to escape. In a flash, several aggressive guards turned into small boats capsized in the stormy waves, allowing the fury waves to wash away all this.
Before various fists and feet greeted Wang Kun, he tried his best to shout with the last voice: "Don't hit!" Unfortunately, this faint voice drowned in the crowd, and no one would pay attention to him, or in other words, under such circumstances and reality, no one could pay attention to him.
The beating lasted for several minutes, and each guard was beaten by three, four or even seven or eight miners. It was a luxury to fight back. Only by holding the head desperately could the pain be relieved.
In the past, these docile miners who were as gentle as sheep were bursting out their anger, were so terrible and amazing...
"I'll let you shoot, I'll let you shoot!" Miner A viciously smashed the fist as big as a bowl on the head of Guard A. This was a pair of coal mining and coal transporting hands. Unfortunately, the force came out, and the frequency was as dense as raindrops. Next to him, Miner B was raising his right foot high and trampling on the guard's belly with the iron foot board used to wearing straw sandals. One kick, two kicks, each kick was a heart-wrenching sound.
"I've fought with you
…”
"Puff" a mouthful of blood mist spurted out from the guard's nose and mouth, and the entire internal organ was subjected to hundreds of pounds of impact force, which splashed the violent man through such an explosion.
Someone wanted to escape, but after a few steps, he was caught up by the angry miners and knocked to the ground. These miners with red eyes retaliated with various tools they could find.
—
"Bang" with a fierce blow, the hardwood on the handle of the rifle hit the guard's forehead, and a muffled groan, his brain splashed everywhere, and his whole body fell like a rice bag. Even so, his body had to bear several rounds of punches and kicks, "I asked you to pretend to be dead!", "I asked you to pretend to be dead!"
The rage spread among the crowd, and the targets of several guards were too small after all, so this rage swept across the entire office area. Over time, the anger that had been fury and dared not speak out was suppressed in a special space, venting it in the most special, violent and concentrated way.
The longer the suppression, the greater the impact; the deeper the oppression, the more intense the resistance. The situation has completely lost control, the mines have been swept away by miners, and everything that can be smashed was smashed. Foreman and other managers were either beaten or ran away with their heads...
Zhao Yuansi ran into Zhou Xuexi's office panting and shouted: "What happened, something big happened!"
"What's wrong?" Zhou Xuexi was upset about last month's accounts. Although the support team helped, the loss last month still reached a record 370,000 taels of silver |:. After several months of losses and the return of advances, the treasury allocated 400 taels, and the acquisition of Kaipingyan showed no signs of success in a short period of time. It was really...
Zhao Yuansi briefly told the story of the turmoil and the miners' strike.
Zhou Xuexi was so shocked that his eyes were about to pop out, and he asked anxiously: "How many people died?"
"Two miners died, and two seemed to be dead in the mine, but there were more than a dozen injured people on both sides... Now they are all in chaos, and I don't know exactly what the situation is. Rumors are flying everywhere now." Zhao Yuansi added, "Some say Kaiping wants to invite British soldiers to quell the rebellion... Some say the government wants to dispatch patrol battalions to suppress the rioters... There are all things."
"The thugs? They are just miners who are forced to do so. If the Kaiping people do not shoot, they will not develop to this point with the courage." Zhou Xuexi was surprised to be angry. "We still have to quell the chaos? We still have to suppress them? We still have to let the young people live? No, we can send a telegram to the capital immediately. If this matter is not handled well, it will lead to a huge change..."
Nasen and Decuillin were currently in the capital city at this time. The two sides agreed on conditions and were drinking and chatting very hotly, a telegram suddenly came.
"What?" De Cuilin's hand shaking slightly while holding the telegram, "The two were killed, the mine was smashed into ruins, and Wang Kun was seriously injured..."
"Enough! I've had enough, these thugs!" Na Sen was furious after reading it and shouted hysterically, "I want to take revenge, revenge..."
Suddenly, he seemed to remember something, and begged with a wagging expression, "Mr., this is definitely not a simple misunderstanding, but someone is deliberately provoking a conflict. This is a conspiracy, a conspiracy!"
Juerdian continued to fiddle with the red wine glass in his hand and responded casually: "What are you going to do?"
"Suppress... no... ask the Imperial Army to come forward and let the Chinese pay the price for their crimes."
"This is not the best way, let alone there is no attack on the imperial diaspora now. How can I convince the use of imperial force?"
After he said this, Na Sen suddenly became a little discouraged. However, Decuilin was cunning and could hear the implicit voice from Juerdian's words: "Where you mean? What should we do?"
"It's very simple, take the normal path and let local Chinese officials deal with it."
"They?" Na Sen curled his lips dissatisfiedly, "It's all a bunch of incompetent people. It's better to expect a pig to try the case."
"Na Sen, listen to the Minister's speech."
"According to my observations, local Chinese officials are generally stupid and timid, and the results of handling British companies will definitely satisfy you."
"What if these officials favor the Chinese?"
"That would be even better. You have enough reasons and evidence to protest. By then, the incident will not be a simple violent conflict, but a diplomatic dispute between China and Britain on the fairness of the law... Think about it, this is the important duty I should perform as the Minister of Great Britain."
