The Ming Dynasty's Machine-Breaking Movement
Chapter 920:The Ming Dynasty's Machine-Breaking Movement
“Go!Go with them!”People are brave, at the sight of someone to take the lead, the rest of the long-lost hired workers also stood up, these time they have been holding a belly of the fire, now there is a chance to vent, they are naturally willing to follow, and just now those words did indeed speak of their hearts, yes, as long as there are no new looms, they may still have to return to the workshop, continue to rely on their own efforts to support the whole family.
"We must remember that we are not bandits, we only ask for a living meal to eat, so when we get to the workshop, we can only smash the looms, and the rest is not moving."The leader is now also riding a tiger, and he can only use such a means to try to save a little room.
"We're all listening to Big Brother King."These people are still dreaming of continuing to return to the workshop, and naturally they refuse to hurt the management and weavers of those workshops, in other words, they are not struggling enough to realize the real cause of their tragic fate.
A group of people immediately went to the nearest workshop, where there was a squire's industry, there were dozens of looms in the workshop, just a small role in the Jiangnan textile workshop, and because of the unfortunate location of the opening, it became the first victim of this incident.
The strong man who entered the thousandth was up, the guard in the workshop dared to block, and they threw away the sticks and fled, and these workers rushed into the workshop, and when the management and other people were too late to react, they smashed all the new looms they had worked hard to build, and then went to the next workshop.
"Go and tell the master, that the city weaving work is chaotic, and let the master use his film to ask the master to mobilize the soldiers and horses to take all these chaotic weavers!"All these damned guys should be cut off!”These weavers did not beat the care, but the management did not intend to let them go, these weavers thought that just smashing the machine and not hurting people, they would not have too much hatred with the other side, but they forgot that for the owners of these workshops, the loom is sometimes more precious than people's wealth, and the capture of money is a deeper hatred than the enemy of the father.
These weavers let go of the master of the workshop, but the owner of the workshop absolutely refused to let them go, the news soon reached the squire behind the workshop, he immediately sent someone to take his own film to find the local master, know the master dare not slack off, he was in this place for a long time, naturally know the strength of Jiangnan squire, so immediately mobilize the whole city to catch those chaotic weavers, but a city.What can they do with thousands of weavers?
“This is not something we can solve, or let the master of the city mobilize the army of the guard station to settle down in the city.”The class looked at it from a distance and retreated, and their hands usually bullied and bullied the people, and the protection fee was almost the same, and there was no such ability to calm the unrest of thousands of people.
The geek originally thought that it was just a few gangsters, and now that they had heard that thousands of people had panicked and urined, and thousands of young and strong people could level his house, so they hurriedly asked for help from the local garrison; now Jiangnan's military and government had not yet, and these Jiangnan's Wu would not be able to sit on an equal basis with the civilian officials.
These troops stationed in the plaster of Jiangnan, has long been the warm wind of Jiangnan smeared bones, and Jiangnan has not met the soldiers for a long time, the officers eat empty pay than the border town, so when they scraped a lot of effort to gather the soldiers, and then brought to the city, those weavers have smashed several workshops, the more the movement.
"General, these riots are very big, and if we are afraid, we can't stop it."Measuring a comparison of each other's strength, the master hastened to persuade, and now the army of Jiangnan Guard, not to mention the construction of slaves and the Mongolian cavalry, even to deal with these riots feel quite difficult.
“When General Ben goes to the horses, who have offended many great families, they will be imprisoned, and if they blame them, the General will be incapasurable.”The general leader did not know these things, but for the sake of his official position and glory and wealth, he had to be tough with these people.
The general also read the book, hastily arranged for the staff to guard the workshop of several large families nearby, and then the economy sent people out to transfer troops, and finally dispersed these people when the reinforcements arrived; the reason is that these weavers are not determined enough to fight, and when they see officers and soldiers, they are afraid, and they flee, otherwise they really conflict who wins and loses.
Seeing this chaos, the generals of the city and the guard did not want to find trouble for themselves, but casually inquired about the names of several staggered leaders and posted a notice to catch the notice, and let the guards of the city gate go straight to the unemployed weavers to enter the city, they thought that this would save the trouble.
But the greater unrest is still behind, first of all these workshops that were destroyed by the loom, and now even if the workshop is in operation, it can't make money, and the re-building of the loom is an expense, so it simply shuts down the workshop and lays off the weavers, so that there are more unemployed weavers in Jiangnan.
In addition, the weavers who had participated in the unrest were aware of the danger, and they did not dare to stay here, went to the nearby cities, and then passed the things born here to the surrounding cities, and these news gradually spread throughout Jiangnan with their footprints.
There are a large number of unemployed weavers in the city not only this place, there are many more unemployed workers in the city than here, they heard about the things here will also smash the loom as a good way to save their own tragic fate, so a field smashing the loom in various cities in Jiangnan spread.
For a time the whole of Jiangnan was in disorder, and the weavers were only trying to smash the loom at first, but with the development of the situation, the Jiangnan squire's counterattack became more and more severe, and many of the unfortunate arrested weavers were looked at by them, which immediately deepened the hatred between the two sides, and the weavers began to put the goal of the struggle on those gentry.
So those looms that were used as cornucopies by the gentry became their charms, and some weak gentry were even swept into the estate by the riots, and the gentry began to gradually appear casualties, and the unrest in Jiangnan could not be controlled.
