"Hit!"

"Fight and fight! Fight back..."

"You guys, Donglin, it's time to defend the Holy Sect!"

Yu Chengzhang's beating seemed to have become a signal of escalation of conflict. At the moment when the scholar fell, a sound of beating sounded sounded over the imperial city square. The man shouted and beat a gentleman with righteousness, but rolled up his sleeves and rushed forward to fight the man was the working people found by the Saishi Party - this is called a gentleman speaking and a villain taking action! Unfortunately, it was not a gentleman who directed a villain to beat others, but a gentleman being beaten by a villain.

Countless working people, no one was in command, spontaneously rushed towards the sparse Donglin Party members. I really don’t know how many of them were! They also shouted slogans loudly and smashed their fists towards the gentlemen’s heads and faces. The stronger ones simply kicked a scholar over and pressed him to the ground, and beat him in a shameless manner.

Yu Chengzhang was also beaten by a large Shandong-style worker riding under him, beating him while beating him: "His grandma, how dare you be called a gentry, who do you think you are a poor man? Are you worthy? Are you an official? What kind of gentleman do you think you are? How much money do you make in a year? How much is my Wu Qi?"

Wu Qi, a Shandong man, was not black, and was much worse than Wu Song. Although the raindrops of his fists fell on Chengzhang, what really made him feel extremely painful was his heart - he had no fame, no official position, no money, even the only 15 acres of land were 10 acres, and there were still 5 acres left, and it would be sold soon. At that time, the whole family had no food to eat. What kind of gentry is he? Thinking of the sadness, Yu Chengzhang suddenly burst into tears. This scene made Wu Qi, who was hitting people, feel a little puzzled. He muttered, "It's not heavy," and let him go and find someone else to beat him.

At this time, the scenes in the entire Imperial City Square were already in chaos, and they were all scenes of fighting in groups.

The Donglin scholars who were walking in the front were the first to be unlucky. Not only were they few people, but they were also loose in formation, which could not stop the crowd of working people. Several brave scholars fought with flags, raised placards or whatever they could get in their hands. However, more people were panicked, shouting, and running around in a panic.

Xu Geng, the leader of the scholars, was also stunned by this sudden change. He did not expect that these miserable men (I really don’t know who is suffering?) dared to really hit people. Is there any king's law under the feet of the emperor?

"Mr. Xu, go quickly, go quickly..."

The scholars around Xu Geng were also smart. When they saw the signs were not good, they knew they could not suffer the loss in front of them, so they hurriedly ran away with Xu Geng.

"No! I won't go anywhere. I want to petition the emperor, rather die than leave..." Xu Geng shouted righteously, but let his confidants run away.

"Protect Mr. Xu and let Mr. Xu go first..." Weng Tongshu saw Xu Geng being held up by someone in chaos, and hurriedly followed him, shouting and running with him. He knew a little bit. It doesn't matter if the scholar was beaten by the coolie today. If the scholar turned around and frightened the coolie away, Emperor Zhu might have to let the guards come forward!

Li Hongzao and Sun Jianai also escaped under the escort of several strong men. This failure was long as they expected, but even if they failed, the goal had been achieved. The three gentlemen of Donglin had already been played! As long as the Emperor of Ming Dynasty did not intend to really leave the gentry and rely on the bourgeoisie, even if they could not become officials, a member of the Constitutional Assembly could always be elected! This is better than wasting a lifetime in the Qingshui Yamen...

Some people are running away. Some are being beaten, some are already beating on the ground, and some are standing on the Hongwu Gate and stunned. This is common for scholars to be beaten. In the past Ming Dynasty, there was a very insulting court stick system. In the early Qing Dynasty, the whip of the Eight Banners men also greeted the heads and faces of the scholars. But today, tens of thousands of scholars who read the books of sages actually made a group of merchants hired to run away with their heads and heads. This is the first time in history!

Isn't this too unreasonable?

"Your Majesty, it's almost done. If you continue to fight, you will die!" Queen Luo Xiangmei couldn't bear it and begged for mercy for the scholars.

"Fatty, what do you think?" Zhu Jishi did not answer. Instead, he asked the prince Zhu Guojie beside him.

"Father, political affairs are not fought in court, not defending in the House, but fighting in the streets. Such things are really not a blessing for the country."

Zhu Jishi nodded. This kid is also a junior high school student in later generations. It is not easy to have such insights. It seems that the education of Huangcheng Public School is still very successful.

"Fatty, you don't understand now that street fights are sometimes politics, because the temple and the House are not something that the general public can enter. But everyone can come to this street!"

Zhu Jishi paused, turned his head to look at the civil servants with a pale face, and continued to say: "In the past, the world was shared by the king and the literati. The king was above, the literati were among the middle, and the people were below. The people were imprisoned on the land and were based on agriculture. The literati occupied a large area of ​​land and controlled the people. The court gave the literati all kinds of privileges to foster scholars. In this way, the world could naturally maintain surface stability, and the whole world was like a pool of stagnant water, year after year, until the literati could not suppress the people, it should be changed. But now the world has changed, and the industry and commerce have flourished, and the people no longer focus on agriculture, but have concentrated in cities to live in large quantities. In this way, the gentry living in the countryside naturally could not control them as firmly as before. The root of today's affairs is here!"

Zhu Guojie asked in confusion: "Can the people go back to the countryside?"

Zhu Jishi smiled and said, "If you want the people to return to the countryside, you must suppress industry and commerce. But now the great powers in the world are all countries where industry and commerce are prosperous. If our Ming Dynasty wants to dominate the world, we must also develop industry and commerce. Moreover, for our royal family, the people in the countryside are sharing the world with scholars and officials, and the prosperity of industry and commerce is sharing the world with merchants and gentry. What's the difference?"

"Share the world with the merchants and gentry..." Zhu Guojie nodded silently, remembering his father's teachings, and no longer asking questions.

"Your Majesty, it's almost done!" At this time, the right prime minister Luo Zenan finally couldn't calm down and said, "Now it's not the Shang Dynasty fighting the gentry, but the people fighting the gentry!"

Zhu Jishi's face slightly stagnated, as if he had thought something was wrong, but he covered it up in a blink of an eye and waved his hand: "I know, come here, I'll send an order to the commander of the Guards Ren Yijiang, let the Guards go out to clean up the situation!"

If the two groups of people fighting in the square had a perspective, they would definitely not have the energy to fight now. Because in Hongwu Gate, there were already a brigade of guards with live ammunition in the brigade of guards who were ready to go! Since Zhu Jishi dared to come to the Imperial City Square to cause trouble, he was naturally ready to dispatch troops to clear the field. Otherwise, who would know if the situation would become a revolution if it gets out of control?

The Hongwu Gate was pushed away creakingly, and the soldiers from the brigade rushed out. Now it was the turn of the supporters of Jishi's Youth Party to start running away - a peaceful petition is a power granted to citizens by the Ming Constitution, but fighting on the streets is an illegal act. If you are caught, you will be punished!

"Hurry, run! The officers and soldiers are here!"

"Go away quickly, don't stay here!"

Now there are members of the Jishi Youth Party who are in command. When they see the Guards coming out of the Hongwu Gate, they immediately issued an order to retreat. They are here to beat Donglin Junzi today, not to overthrow the ** dynasty...

The guards who came forward to clear the scene were also surprisingly slow, beating military music and drums, as if they were participating in the review. When they lined up outside Hongwu Gate, the masses hired by the Jishi Al Shabaab were almost running. On the Imperial City Square, there were only a group of scholars who were knocked to the ground, shouting there with blue noses and swollen faces. There were a few more miserable people who couldn't even make a sound. I wonder if they were knocked out or killed?

Yu Chengzhang is also one of the unlucky Donglin scholars. His performance is slightly different from others. He is crying and crying loudly...
