Hong Kong Island Old Events

"There are fifty shotguns in Shatin, thirty made in Hanyang, and six shell guns."

"There are 60 shotguns in Tuen Mun, 13 medium-sized rifles, and 98 38-type shotguns."

"There are thirty shotguns and two carbines in Taibu." All the surnames in each township reported their wealth, especially native shotguns. Because shotgun bullets are easy to make and maintain, several surnames have the ability to privately manufacture shotguns.

Furthermore, there are many miscellaneous weapons of the Wanguo brand. The total number of firearms is as high as more than 500, which is enough to form a militia group.

Unfortunately, the main weapons are old antiques from the Second World War, and the wear and tear must be very high over time.

No more than two-thirds of them are usable, and one-third with good performance is considered high.

However, Lu Hanming felt confident and said: "Since the top ten surnames sit together, they should unite to face the outside world. The Hong Kong government wants to seize our land, and the capitalists want to exploit us. Is it necessarily good to build factories and develop the New Territories? "

"Everyone has seen what Yangtze River Industry has done."

"I propose that each village select its best and strongest people to form a defense team, 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 our top ten surnames in the development!"

The clan talkers present were all enlightened. The development of the New Territories was actually a good thing. However, the Hong Kong government wanted to get rid of the top ten surnames, so private development was absolutely not allowed.

"good!"

"As the representative of the New Territories, Patriarch Lu can raise his voice from a high position and all villages and towns will support him." Most people agreed and recommended Lu Hanming 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 the situation fails, there is a risk of beheading, massacre of villages, and genocide. Generally, small households not only lack prestige, but also dare not take such risks. The Lu family in Tsuen Wan is willing to take the lead, and the other surnames will naturally support it. Moreover, the Lu family is the strongest, with the most fertile land and the largest population.

In terms of seniority, Lu should be the first.

When Lu Hanming saw that everyone was supporting him, he couldn't help but feel proud. He cupped his hands and said: "Thank you all fellow countrymen. Lu Mou was born and raised in the New Territory. He couldn't bear the Chinese territory to fall into the hands of foreigners, so he gave up his old bones!"

"I will fight off the ghost guy even to the death!"

Mok Wenwei shouted: "Brother Lu is very righteous."

Deng Guangxiong said: "Behead the chicken head and drink blood wine. Today, ten surnames from the New Territories have made a blood alliance in the Lu family's ancestral hall, holding high the flag of righteousness and resisting the British!"

"Anti-British!"

"Anti-British!"

The atmosphere in the hall was high, everyone was enthusiastic and full of fighting spirit. I thought it was just a political friction. Unexpectedly, in the end, the ten surnames reached an agreement, united together, and directly raised the flag of rebellion. Judging from the current situation, if this battle is successful, the New Territories may become autonomous in the future.

The ten surnames will also evolve from earth emperors into political families, and their energy will reach a new level.

If this battle fails, the situation in the New Territories will greatly improve.

Even if they lose their heads, they will leave their names in history and become heroes.

However, Lu Hanming knew in his heart that the clan alliance and Liangshan Juyi's organizational model were outdated. If they really used blood as an alliance and rebelled against the old model, they would be divided and attacked by the Hong Kong government within a week, and they would collapse. Because the Hong Kong government will adopt two modes when facing the mob and the opposition army. The mob will only be suppressed by the police force, but the opposition army will have to face the three major armed forces of the disciplinary forces, the Military Intelligence Department and the garrison!

The resources and power leveraged are not of the same magnitude.

Although, based on his speculation, the Hong Kong government did not dare to use the garrison. After all, once the garrison is deployed, it is not internal but external, which is equivalent to recognizing that the New Territories are part of the north. At the same time, given 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 Gui Lao for control. The ghosts can never defeat the north on land, so the garrison naturally dare not mobilize.

If the garrison can invade the New Territories in one night, the north can reach Boundary Street in Kowloon in one hour!

With the backing of his hometown as a deterrent, the most terrifying force, but the least terrifying force, will probably be offset. However, the remaining disciplinary forces and the Military Intelligence Department are also difficult to deal with. One is the security force and the other is intelligence work.

All kinds of assassinations, inducements and honey traps

Once more resources are invested in the Governor's Mansion, the old-fashioned Juyi model will be cracked in minutes.

This model has been out of date for two hundred years. Lu Hanming had been prepared for it and secretly gave Situ Ying a wink. Situ Ying nodded slightly, and then spoke out of time in the hot atmosphere: "Brother Ming, the ten surnames are organizing troops according to guns. , who has the right to command?”

Mo Wenwei, Wen Jingsheng, Peng Guowei, Wang Zhenbang and others immediately felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured on them, and they stood there blankly looking at Lu Hantao. Although these old men all yearn for China and feel that it would be an honor to die in order to one day raise the flag to fight against the British, the soldiers under their command are all descendants of the clan, blood relatives, and they are absolutely uneasy to be handed over to the command of outsiders.

Because everyone is selfish, if their children are given to the Lu family, when they encounter a strong enemy, will the Lu family protect themselves and throw their children out as cannon fodder? The promise is for sure! The human heart is terrible, and we must think the worst about everything.

But there are only more than 500 guns in total. If even the command authority is divided everywhere, how can we talk about being anti-British? If the police force attacks even slightly, all defense lines will be leaky 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 incident was initiated to safeguard the clan system, and they were the first to refuse to break the clan system.

Lu Hanming met the eyes of the clan leader of the nine surnames and chuckled: "Of course it's not mine, nor anyone here. In order to prevent anyone from harming the public for personal gain, there must be someone who is famous and capable to lead the anti-British movement." 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 the corner, drinking tea with his head down, stood up after hearing this and saluted the nine-surnamed clan leader with clasped fists.

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

"Our top ten surnames only need to be responsible for providing guns, men, money and food."

Yang Guang had some contusions on his face. It seemed that he had not had an easy time in the Kwun Tong Department. He said, "There are some workers from the Federation of Trade Unions who have worked in the mines and are capable of making fireworks. Let's put some out for the ghost guys to see." look."

"Not only is the scene huge, but you can also carry out assassinations."

"In addition, many workers are veterans and can take on shift duties." He first pointed out the strength of the Federation of Trade Unions, and then said: "This time we are anti-British, we must also hold high the workers' banner and fight for the due rights for all workers in Hong Kong. Subsidies, benefits, and compensation will allow factories on Hong Kong Island to treat everyone equally."

"good!"

Situ Ying immediately praised: "As the saying goes, teachers are famous, and the Federation of Trade Unions 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 is appropriate for Mr. Yang to hold this flag. We can carry it below and do our best."

The other clans also feel that it is very suitable. Firstly, they can gain support from the north through the Federation of Trade Unions. Secondly, they can unite the working class. They are stronger and more decisive than mere clan militia. The matter must be left to professional people. Some people rebel professionally!

"What we need to do now is very simple. The first thing is to summon militiamen and workers of all surnames and hold a workers' meeting to firmly unite the people who are determined to strive for worker status. It is not limited to their surnames and where they live."

“Second, print and distribute leaflets from the working committee, and ask workers’ friends to come to Hong Kong tomorrow morning to publicize and expand our supporters.”

Liao Changqing said: "Why don't you block the traffic?"

"No need."

Yang Guang's eyes flashed and he said firmly: "First let people fight for something, so that the soldiers can have fighting power. Since the New Territories are the New Territories of New Territories people, there is no need to rush to blockade them. Now we must mobilize first and hold a good workers' meeting."

Liao Changqing, who was in his fifties, fell into deep thought and murmured: "Is this the person 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 one had more than a thousand people and lasted for two and a half minutes. He shouted at the scene "anti-British resistance, return New Territories, expel the Tartars, and strengthen the nation.”

Governor's Palace.

While the Federation of Trade Unions was vigorously carrying out political propaganda, the Military Intelligence Department also handed information about the New Territories to the desk of the Government House. Bai Liji frowned, feeling a heavy burden in his heart, and sighed: "Let the police block Boundary Street tonight. Castle Peak Road, Kwai Chung Road and Shing Mun Road are the main roads.”

"Yes, sir!"

Kunxian stood at attention, saluted, and shouted loudly.

Bai Liji looked at the person in charge of the Military Intelligence Department again: "Strengthen the intelligence work in 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 500,000 Hong Kong dollars!"

"Yes, sir!"

Director of Military Intelligence Jiade stood at attention and saluted.

Bai Liji waved his hand and signaled his subordinates to leave. He sat alone on the sofa and lit a cigarette, with a sad face. In fact, since the riots at Changjiang Industrial's plastic flower factory, every matter has been sent to the Governor's Office.

But the entire riot was handled by the police in an orderly, legal and compliant manner, with no intention of obstructing it. This shows that the tacit understanding between him and He Dingxian is still theoretical. After the riot is suppressed, it will soon subside.

How could it get bigger and bigger? A federation of trade unions came out, and even armed groups were organized. They even shouted the slogan of "anti-British and anti-riot". Isn't it just a little labor dispute? It was common for Chinese people to die in factories.

Worth wondering?

He felt that there was a driving force behind the scenes, pushing the incident step by step, just like the top ten surnames combined with the Federation of Trade Unions, instantly reborn from a clan system to a social movement organization. The deep meaning behind it was terrifying to think about.

"It must be the north!"

"Only the leadership from the north can shout this kind of slogan and organize this kind of civil force!" Bai Liji became more and more frightened as he thought about it. He even sweated on his forehead and ignored the little "Assistant Director". After all, he was the Hong Kong government. What qualifications does an assistant director at work have to fight against the British?
