History of Hong Kong Island

Chapter 450 Anti-British Rebellion!

"There are fifty shotguns in Shatian, thirty in Hanyang, and six pistols."

"There are sixty shotguns in Tuen Mun, among which there are thirteen shotguns, ninety-eight of the thirty-eight types"

"There are thirty shotguns and two carbines in Tai Po." All the family names of the townships reported their family backgrounds, especially the local shotguns, because shotgun bullets are easy to make and easy to maintain, and several big names have the ability to privately manufacture shotguns.

What's more, there are a lot of miscellaneous, Wanguo brand weapons, and the total number of firearms is as high as more than 500, which is enough to form a militia regiment.

It's a pity that the main weapons are all antiques from the World War II period. Over time, the wear and tear must be very high.

Among them, no more than two-thirds can be used, and one-third with good performance is considered high.

However, Lu Hanming felt full of confidence, and said: "Since the ten surnames are sitting together, they should unite to the outside world. The Hong Kong government wants to take our land, and the capitalists want to exploit us. Building factories and developing the New Territories must be good? "

"Everyone has seen what Changjiang Industry did."

"I suggest that the villages choose strong men to form a defense group, block the roads between the New Territories and Hong Kong Island, and formally launch an armed struggle with the Hong Kong government, as long as the Hong Kong government agrees to give up the development of the New Territories, or cooperate with us to develop it!"

The eyes of the clan leaders present were all brightened. The development of the New Territories is actually a good thing. Only the Hong Kong government wants to get rid of the top ten surnames, and private development is absolutely not allowed.

"it is good!"

"As the representative of the New Territories, Patriarch Lu, if he ascends to the top, all townships and villages will support him." Most people agreed, and recommended Lu Hanming to come out to carry the flag.

Just because what they have done is to raise the flag of rebellion and openly oppose the Hong Kong government.

Once things fail, there is the risk of decapitation, massacre of villages, and extermination of clans. Not only do ordinary small families not only lack prestige, but they really dare not take this risk.The Lu family in Tsuen Wan is willing to take the lead, and the rest of the surnames naturally support it. Besides, the Lu family is the strongest, with the most fertile land and the largest population.

In terms of seniority, the Lu family should be number one.

Seeing that everyone supported him, Lu Hanming couldn't help feeling proud, and cupped his hands and said, "Thank you fellow countrymen. Lu Mou was born and raised in the New Territories. He couldn't bear the territory of China to fall into the hands of foreign races, so he gave up his old bones!"

"If you die, you must beat back the ghost!"

Mo Wenwei jumped up against the case: "Brother Lu is very righteous."

Deng Guangxiong said: "Behead the chicken head and drink blood wine. Today, the ten surnames of the New Territories are allied with blood in the Lu's ancestral hall, holding high the banner of righteousness, and anti-British!"

"Anti-British!"

"Anti-British!"

The atmosphere in the hall was high, everyone was full of enthusiasm and fighting spirit. I thought it was just a political friction, but unexpectedly, the ten surnames finally reached an agreement, united together, and directly raised the anti-flag.Given the current situation, if this battle is successful, the New Territories may become self-governing in the future.

The ten surnames will also evolve from the emperor of the earth to a political family, and the energy will go up to a higher level.

If this battle fails, the situation in the New Territories will also be greatly improved.

Even if they lost their heads, they would leave their names in history and become heroes.

However, Lu Hanming knew that the clan alliance and the organization model of Liangshan Juyi were outdated. If blood was really used as an alliance, the old model raised the banner of rebellion, but within a week it would be divided and attacked by the Hong Kong government and collapsed.Because the Hong Kong government will adopt two models to face the mob and the opposition army. The mob will only be suppressed by the police force, but the opposition army will face the three major armed forces of the disciplined force, the military intelligence department, and the garrison!
The leveraged resources are not of the same order of magnitude.

Although, based on his guess, the Hong Kong government dare not use the garrison.After all, once the garrison is on the field, it is not internal, but external, which is equivalent to acknowledging that the New Territories are part of the north.At the same time, due to the geographical relationship between the New Territories and Bao'an, once the garrison enters the New Territories, the north will immediately send troops to compete with the ghosts for control.The ghosts would never be able to defeat the north on land, so the garrison naturally did not dare to mobilize.

If it is said that the garrison can invade the New Territories in one night, the north can reach Boundary Street in Kowloon in an hour!

Under the deterrence of having his hometown as a backer, the most terrifying force, but the least terrifying, will probably be offset, but the remaining disciplined troops and the military intelligence department are also difficult to deal with, one for the security force and the other for intelligence work.

All kinds of assassinations, temptations, and beauty tricks
Once the Governor's Mansion invests more resources, the old-fashioned Juyi model will be cracked in minutes.

This model has been outdated for 200 years. Lu Hanming was prepared and gave Situ Ying a secret wink. Situ Ying nodded slightly, and in the fiery atmosphere, he said inappropriately: "Brother Ming, the ten surnames are organized according to the guns. , who is in command?"

Mo Wenwei, Wen Jingsheng, Peng Guowei, Wang Zhenbang and others immediately looked at Lu Hantao in a daze as if they had been poured with cold water.Although these old bones are all devoted to China, and feel that it is an honor to die for one day they can raise the flag against the British, but the soldiers under them are all descendants of the clan, blood relatives, and they are absolutely worried about being handed over to outsiders to command.

Because everyone is selfish, if the children are handed over to the Lu family to command, when encountering a strong enemy, will the Lu family protect themselves and throw their children out as cannon fodder?Promise is for sure!The human heart is terrible, and everything must be the worst.

But there are only more than 500 guns in total. If even the command power is divided everywhere, what is the anti-British talk?If the police force makes a slight attack, the defense lines everywhere will leak like a sieve.Mo Wenwei, Wen Jingsheng and others suddenly realized that things were difficult, and it was impossible to rely on the clan system.

But this time the incident was launched to maintain the clan system, and they were the first to refuse to break the clan system.

Lu Hanming met the gaze of the patriarch of the nine surnames, and chuckled: "Of course it doesn't belong to me, nor does it belong to anyone here. In order to prevent someone from harming the public due to personal interests, there must be a famous and capable person who comes out to direct the anti-British people." action."

"This person is Mr. Yang who I finally released on bail from the Kwun Tong Department."

Yang Guang, who had been wearing a Chinese tunic suit and sitting in a corner, drinking tea with his head bowed, got up when he heard the words, and bowed his fists to the patriarch of the nine surnames.

Lu Hanming introduced: "Mr. Yang Guang is the chairman of the Federation of Trade Unions. Although he does not have D nationality, he has a close personal relationship with the North. As a representative of the Hong Kong Island Zuo faction, he can speak. In addition, this anti-British is a In order to protect the interests of workers, it is appropriate for the Federation of Trade Unions to be in charge."

"Our ten surnames only need to be responsible for delivering guns and people, and paying for food and money."

Yang Guang had some bruises on his face. It seemed that his life in the Kwun Tong Department was not easy. He said, "There will be some workers from the Federation of Trade Unions who have worked in mines and are capable of making fireworks. Let the ghosts show some of them at that time." look."

"Not only is the scene big, but it can also engage in assassination."

"Many other workers are veterans, and they can take on shift duties." He first pointed out the strength of the Federation of Trade Unions, and then said: "This anti-British campaign must also hold high the banner of workers and fight for the workers in Hong Kong. Allowances, benefits, and compensation allow factories on Hong Kong Island to treat everyone equally."

"it is good!"

Situ Ying immediately praised: "As the saying goes, the teacher is famous, and the Trade Union is the one who engages in politics. We are just old bones in the clan. How can Mr. Yang be suitable to hold the banner?"

"It's appropriate for Mr. Yang to hold this flag. We will carry it on our shoulders and do our best."

The rest of the clans also think it is very suitable. Firstly, they can get support from the North through the trade unions, and secondly, they can unite the working class. They are stronger and decisive than the pure clan militias. Things have to be handled by professional people, and some people rebel professionally!

"What we have to do now is very simple. The first thing is to call the militias and workers of all surnames, and hold a workers' meeting to firmly unite the people who are willing to fight for the status of workers. It is not limited to what surname is or where they live."

"Second, print and distribute the leaflets of the Workers' Committee, and ask workers' friends to come to Hong Kong to publicize tomorrow morning, so as to expand our supporters."

Liao Changqing said: "Why not block the traffic?"

"No need."

Yang Guang's eyes were bright, and he said firmly: "First let people fight for something, and then soldiers will be able to fight. Since the New Territories belong to the New Territories, there is no need to rush to block them. Now we must mobilize and organize a workers' meeting."

Liao Changqing, who was in his fifties, fell into deep thought and murmured: "Is this the one who wins the hearts of the people and wins the world?"

That night.

Yang Guang led people from the Federation of Trade Unions to hold workers' meetings in 21 villages in the New Territories. The largest meeting had more than a thousand people and lasted two and a half minutes. Expel the Tartars, the nation will strengthen itself" slogan.

Governor's Palace.

While the Federation of Trade Unions was carrying out political propaganda, the Military Intelligence Department also delivered information on the New Territories to the Governor's Office. Bai Liji frowned, feeling a heavy burden in his heart, and sighed: "Let the police force block Boundary Street first tonight. Castle Peak Road, Kwai Chung Road, Shing Mun Road and several main roads."

"Yes, sir!"

Kun Xian stood at attention and saluted, shouting loudly.

Bai Liji looked at the head of the Military Intelligence Department again: "Strengthen the intelligence work on the New Territories, and strive to divide and disintegrate the ten surnames. The first one to seek refuge with the Hong Kong government will be awarded the Knight Medal, the New Territories Justice of the Peace, and 50 Hong Kong dollars!"

"Yes, sir!"

Chief of Military Intelligence Jia De stood at attention and saluted.

Bai Liji waved his hand, signaling his subordinates to leave, and sat alone on the sofa, lighting a cigarette, with a sad face.In fact, since the riot at Cheung Kong's plastic flower factory, everything has been sent to the Governor's Office.

But the whole riot was handled by the police force in an orderly, legal and compliant manner, and they did not intend to obstruct it at all. It can be seen that the tacit understanding between him and He Dingxian is still in theory. After the riot is suppressed, it will soon subside.

How could it become bigger and bigger, a union of trade unions came out, even armed groups were organized, and even shouted the slogan of "anti-British and anti-violence".Isn't it just a little labor dispute?Chinese deaths in factories were common.

Strange?
He felt that there was a pusher behind the scenes, pushing the incident up step by step, just like the combination of the ten surnames and the Federation of Trade Unions, which instantly transformed from a clan system into a social movement organization. The deep meaning behind it is extremely terrifying.

"It must be the north!"

"Only the north leads the way to shout this kind of slogan and organize this kind of folk force!" Bai Liji became more and more frightened when he thought about it, and even sweated on his forehead, and he ignored the little "assistant director". What qualifications does the assistant director who works have to fight against the British and riots?
