Red Alert 1895

Chapter 772: confederacy hit

Beijing City, a high-level prison under the Ministry of Justice. This is the original prison of the Ministry of Punishment, which is a place for high-level criminals to live. And there are many cells here, and the guards are very strict, and there are many people guarding here. And the prison of the Ministry of Justice is a place that everyone in the capital fears, because ordinary people have no qualifications to come here to be imprisoned. Because generally there are their own prisons in various places, even the prisons in the county government. As for the prisons of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, they are generally prisoners of the imperial court in the past, or criminals for various political reasons.

Naturally, there is nothing to say about the imperial court's intrusion, and those who are corrupt are very embarrassing. Those jailers didn't dare to go too far with those gangsters. After all, who knows if they will be remembered by the emperor for a while, and then they will be reinstated again? However, in this prison, there are still the facilities that should be there, but now the management is much more civilized than that of the Qing Ministry of Criminal Affairs, and there are much fewer cases of torture.

And here, the deepest prison, there are several people in it, and they sit here quietly. And there are no doors and windows in this cell, and even the surrounding area has been built so that there is not a single crack. But there is a lighted lamp on the top that illuminates the place. And the few people inside were very calm, as if they knew that they would not live long. Because since they entered here, they all know that they are probably going to die. So they all broke their cans and smashed their cans, eating what they should eat and drinking, anyway, they will die when they die!

"Crack!" There was a sound, and a person walked in from outside.

"Chen Shaobai, how are you doing?" A man in the uniform of a major general said.

"Liu Feng, is that you? Wang Guorui's running dog?" Chen Shaobai said angrily.

This major general is Liu Feng from the General Intelligence Administration, and he said regretfully: "I really hate you now, I hate you very much. If it weren't for your alliance, you would have assassinated the emperor in Taiwan at that time. Now with my qualifications, I can do it." I got the winning rank. And now I can only wait for the next time, and with my old qualifications, it is really embarrassing to be promoted with those juniors. So, how do you say I should repay you?"

And a young man immediately said: "Come here if you have the guts. We revolutionaries have nothing to fear from death! And we will never fail in our pursuit of freedom and democracy. Wang Guorui, a feudal warlord, is now the emperor, and this is restoration. ...and the people's pursuit of democracy and freedom will never stop. At that time, the people will definitely overthrow the reactionary emperor Wang Guorui."

"Hehe, in fact, the emperor also said that he and you are actually the same way, why do you need to fight?" Liu Feng said.

"Bah, how could we be the same as that reactionary emperor?" the young man said.

Liu Feng shook his head and said, "Actually, the emperor didn't just praise you once, you are actually full of blood and passion. However, you don't quite understand what the people need, so you are so blindfolded and followed others. In the end, blood and life were paid, and the freedom and democracy you want will not really come in the end. And our emperor actually supports freedom and democracy, but our emperor intends to take it slowly, not like you To obtain the so-called freedom and democracy through violence. Moreover, do you think that if your revolution succeeds, the people will cherish the freedom and democracy that you sacrificed your blood for?"

"Yes, the people will definitely cherish it!" the young man said without thinking.

And Liu Feng took out a newspaper on his own initiative and said, "Look at this, you might be able to know if you look at it!"

And those young revolutionaries saw the content in the newspaper, that is, the newspaper reported that the people were bribed for an egg. For an egg, they also sold their voting rights, and then went to support a certain person. And those candidates, the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each showed their magical powers, and some actors passed through singing. Then he gained a lot of popularity, and then let those people support him.

"Look at what this is all about? They sold their sacred power for an egg, and sold their voting rights for an egg. Of course, their election is actually illegal. Because Only those who pass the exam have the so-called right to vote and be elected. But you can see the value of the right to vote in the eyes of these people? How do they view the sacred power in their hands? In your eyes, the sacred power, But in the end, it was not as good as an egg. Are you throwing your heads and blood, just to let others take your blood, tears and lives in exchange for an egg? Is your life worth an egg?" Liu Feng asked.

"Impossible, impossible, impossible!" Those revolutionaries almost went crazy.

When those young people heard this, their faces changed drastically, and then their eyes were blank. Looking at these situations, they couldn't believe the result at all. I fought my life, I and so many comrades fought their lives, and even many comrades sacrificed their young lives in the uprising. And the career that I am willing to fight for my whole life is actually like this? Although this time it was just a mock vote by Wang Guorui, it was enough to show that in the eyes of the common people, the value of this so-called voting right was not as good as an egg.

Although this is just a simulation of Wang Guorui, it can be seen from the inside, if revolutionaries like them once achieve the great cause of revolution. Once the so-called democratic elections are held, what will happen to them at that time? Will those people sell their hard-earned democratic and free elections for an egg like they are now?

"Is democracy and freedom worth an egg? Is a right to vote, a free right to vote, worth an egg? The sacrifices of so many comrades, the efforts of so many comrades, and the ideals we have fought for all our lives are worth less than an egg?" Those young revolutionaries suddenly had mixed feelings in their hearts.

"Hahahaha..." A young revolutionary suddenly burst into tears.

"So, think about it, even if there is no our emperor, there will be others in the future. If the time comes, I will appear on the stage after you sing, any actor, a rich person can spend money to 'buy' the so-called The presidency. Do you think this kind of revolution is exactly what you want? Our emperor actually appreciates young people like you who are desperate for ideals. In fact, there is nothing wrong with democracy and freedom. What is wrong is that the people do not have It will be carried out when the conditions of democracy and freedom are met." Liu Feng asked.

And in Tokyo, Japan, the high-level officials of the Tongmenghui also saw the news here.

"Fake, this is absolutely false, this is definitely fake news concocted by the reactionary emperor Wang Guorui. They are making fake news. They are really attacking democracy and freedom. They are really trying to maintain their dictatorship, so they did it It will be so. If they are not in order to maintain their dictatorship, why is it so? Only by allowing the election of all people, one person, one vote, can the interests of the people be truly guaranteed. Instead of letting him, a reactionary emperor, rely on the army to dominate the king, he must One person, one vote!" Sun Dapao shouted.

Sun Dapao obviously couldn't accept this result. Sun Dapao knew very well what a huge blow this situation was to the revolutionaries in his alliance. The ideal they have fought for all their lives, the revolution of democracy and freedom, was actually sold by those ordinary people, and then sold for the price of an egg, too cheap? Is their life so cheap? Is their blood so cheap?

And Sun Dapao's secretary next to him took the initiative to say: "Then Wang Guorui said that this is not because the people have sold us, but because they don't know the meaning of democracy and freedom. They don't know the value of it, so we must gradually improve. It’s not done overnight. Wang Guorui believes that it should be gradually improved, let the people know what democracy and freedom are in the true sense, and let them know the value of democracy and freedom, instead of selling an egg like this now!”

"Bastard, don't you believe the fake news about Wang Guorui?" Sun Dapao said angrily.

And the secretary didn't dare to say a word, and he was very shaken in his heart. They have worked hard for the cause of their lives, and they are willing to sacrifice their lives for it. They think it is for the good of the people~ lightnovelpub.net~ But the people actually sold them? If it is sold, it will be sold, and it is so worthless, how sad is this? And they couldn't help but agree with Wang Guorui's idea. In a country with a literacy rate of less than 15%, is it too scary to talk about democracy and freedom? Too extravagant?

At that time, their revolution has succeeded, once the president is to be democratically elected? At that time, who will those people choose? A famous actor, a braggart? Or, someone who would give them an egg each? At that time, was the democracy and freedom for which they paid their blood and lives like this? At that time, the fruits of their revolutionary victory will be usurped by an actor or an egg. Isn't that too sad?

And this news, within the League, dealt a huge blow to them, enough to drive them almost crazy. And this is a blow directly from the spirit of the Tongmenghui, from their beliefs. This is simply a bottom line. They have fought for their whole lives and are willing to sacrifice their lives for a cause that is actually so cheap in the eyes of the vast majority of people.

If Wang Guorui killed them, maybe they would still think that they died for ideals. But now, their faith suddenly collapsed. And the collapse of this belief is simply fatal to their organization! (To be continued.)
