Naturally, Qingdao City must be controlled by someone he can trust, so he handed Qingdao over to Zhao Lianglu.Zhao Lianglu's loyalty is 89%, and his specialty is financial management and municipal management. He is the most suitable person to become the mayor of Qingdao.

Just as various matters in Qingdao were gradually getting on the right track, Zhang Anle was about to return to Xi'an.A major event happened suddenly in Qingdao, disrupting Zhang Anle's overall plan.

For a long time, workers in Japanese cotton mills lived a miserable life and were often beaten, scolded and insulted by Japanese factory owners for no reason.Japanese factory owners often beat workers with crocodile-skin steel whips, and many child laborers were beaten to death.Not only that, but the Japanese wantonly stamped and marked the faces of Chinese workers at work.In order to survive, the workers of Qingdao Nissho Spinning Mill established a labor union under the leadership of the Communist Party Qingdao Organization.

Under the leadership of the Communist Party, at 4:19 pm on April 9, the trade union issued a strike order, and the workers shut down their cars together, and the strike began.

After the strike, the Japanese factory owners not only reported to their consulate and their own government, but also requested protection from the Qingdao government.The Police Department of the Jiao'ao Commercial Port Bureau immediately dispatched more than a hundred military and police officers to all directions to strictly protect the Japanese residences.The factory stopped the food supply to the workers in an attempt to "starve" the workers to death.All the workers took to the streets to march, holding small flags, shouting: "We want to live!"

On the afternoon of the same day, more than 1400 workers from Sifang Machine Factory slowed down to show solidarity with Dakang workers. On the 23rd, more than 3000 workers in the inner and outer cotton mills went on strike, and they also made demands similar to those of the Dakang workers to the Japanese factory owners. On the 24th, more than 2000 workers from the Longxing Spinning Mill went on strike. So far, all the three spinning mills in Sifang have participated. On the 25th, the workers of the Japanese Suzuki Silk Factory in Taitung were about to go on strike. The Japanese factory owner found out and announced the suspension of production, sending the workers home. On the 29th, 5000 workers at the Zhongyuan Spinning Mill in Cangkou went on strike. The workers at the Fuji Spinning Mill were about to respond, but the factory owner stopped production and sent the workers back home.So far, from Sifang to Cangkou and Taitung, more than 18000 workers have participated in the strike, a scale unprecedented in history.

5月7日达成9项协议,主要是增加工人伙食费每日1分钱;因工受伤,厂方支付医疗费;吃饭时间休息30分钟;午前及午后3时各休息10分钟;罢工期间支付2天工资,不得任意打骂工人等。9项协议虽与“21条”要求相去甚远,但毕竟是厂主让步,日本人低头了,工人莫不高兴。5月10日举行工胜利大会。

The workers returned to work the day after Zhang Anle came. Soon after, the Japanese factory insisted on posting notices, and 25 employees from Dakang, 26 employees from Neiwaimian and Longxing, and 51 union leaders and strikers were expelled from the factory.He then demanded that Jiao'ao authorities must ban the trade unions of the three factories.

On May 5, the Jiao'ao Police Department ordered the Third Spinning Mill to remove the trade union sign by itself, otherwise it would be forcibly removed.The Federation of Trade Unions of the Third Factory decided to pack up the documents just in case, and immediately sent a picket team to inform all the workers that if the police came, the Third Factory would stop work at the same time, but no one would leave the factory.

At 25:3 pm on the 300th, Chen Tao, director of the Jiao'ao Police Department, led a security brigade of more than 9 people to Sifang, took off the signs of the three trade unions, and ordered the union to disband.So the three factories shut down at the same time, and guarded the factory, surrounded by Chen Tao and others.In the Dakang factory, the workers insisted that Chen return the trade union badge. "Where did Chen Tao go, where did the workers follow, from Dakang to Neiwaimian and then to Longxing, and he was determined not to let him get away. He followed until [-] o'clock in the evening. In order to get away, Chen Tao had to order the labor union The sign was returned to the spinning mill, only to return in embarrassment. The trade union sign was hung up again. The trade union of the third spinning mill decided that "the night shift will continue to work as usual, and the day shift will leave the factory". But the Japanese factory owner became furious and announced a power outage to stop production. So the trade union changed the strike order, Workers are on strike for the second time this year.

Volume 10 Triple Legs Chapter [-] This is Not a Discussion but a Notice

After Zhang Anle learned of the situation, he immediately dismissed Chen Tao as the chief of the police department, and ordered Zhang Qifeng, the deputy brigade commander of the Independent Brigade, to be the chief of the police department.Ask Zhang Qifeng to lead the troops and the police to maintain order in the city, while he meets with the owners of the three factories of Dakang, Neiwaimian and Longxing as well as the worker representatives of the three factories at the Donghai Hotel.

"This is my classmate, surnamed Cai and named Peng and named Zhenxing. He studied in Japan before, returned to China a few days ago, and now serves as my Japanese translator." Zhang Anle introduced the people who appeared in the room to Yang Du.

This person is about 25 years old, with a crew cut, wearing a sharp suit, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed eyes, and carrying a handbag with him.

Yang Du nodded to the translator named Cai Peng, and the translator also smiled at him.Yang Du was a little puzzled, why did he find an interpreter when he didn't see Commander Zhang go out.

"Report to Commander, the Japanese factory owner is already waiting at the door." Wang Xiaozhu knocked on the door and came in to report.

"Wait for the workers' representatives to come, and ask them to come in together." Zhang Anle ordered, and then thought about how to deal with the strike.First of all, the reason why the workers went on strike, he already knew that it was mainly because the union was boycotted by the workers, and the conditions promised by the Japanese after the last strike were not fulfilled.In addition, the domineering and domineering behavior of the Japanese angered the workers even more.

There was another knock on the door, and Wang Xiaozhu walked in with three worker representatives and three factory owners.

"Report to the Commander, and the representatives of the Japanese factory owners and workers brought it."

"Okay, go and do your work first." Zhang Anle waved at Wang Xiaozhu.

Arrange everyone in a small conference room, which has a small conference table.The factory owner and worker representatives sat on both sides of the table, Zhang Anle sat at the head, and an interpreter stood beside him.

"I am Zhang Anle, the mayor of Qingdao. Today, representatives from both the factory and the workers are called here mainly to resolve the workers' strike. The workers' strike will not only affect the factory's production and affect the normal social order of Qingdao. This matter must be resolved as soon as possible. Solve. Before I do this, I want to say something else. It is said that there are various unreasonable rules and regulations in the Japanese factory, some of which must be abolished: first: the contract of sale signed by the workers when entering the factory must be abolished, and second: The salary deposit system must be abolished (that is, the security deposit for entering the factory), and the third: the two-cut system (that is, 20% of wages will be deducted to force interest-free savings). These three systems must be abolished. This is not to discuss with you but to inform you.” Zhang Zhang An Le put pressure on the Japanese factory owners from the very beginning.

The exploitation of Chinese workers by Japanese capitalists is to the bone, and they implement a body search system, a body contract system, and a status discrimination system for workers.For example, when workers enter the factory, they must find a guarantor to fill out a sales contract. The contract stipulates that: workers must abide by all factory regulations, and violators will be punished or fired; the factory is not responsible for the illness, injury, or death of workers; The insurer must compensate the factory for the so-called "loss".

In terms of income, it is even more miserable. Even the basic life cannot be guaranteed. The average worker earns 2 cents and 5 cents per day, female workers generally earn about 2 cents, and child workers only earn more than 1 cents.According to the prices at that time, 2 cents could only buy 5 catty of pork, 1 catties of flour, or 3 to 6 catties of sorghum.Not only that, but the factory also implements a salary deposit system, that is, 7% of each salary is deducted as collateral, and it is claimed that it will be returned to the workers after one year.

"I protest, this is an internal matter of our factory, you have no right to interfere!" One of the Japanese stood up and said loudly.

"Unless you move the factory out of Qingdao, you must implement these three regulations. I repeat, this is not a negotiation, but a notice! Now I am the mayor of Qingdao, and I have the final say. This will become a regulation in the future." Zhang Anle said calmly.

The Japanese was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect the young mayor to be so tough, but he was not afraid, because he had the support of the entire empire behind him.

"I advise your Excellency not to go your own way, otherwise, unpleasant things will happen." The Japanese said in blunt Chinese with a fierce look on his face.

Zhang Anle looked up at the Japanese man, but without saying anything, he took out his gun and slapped it on the table.The standing Japanese shivered with fright and sat down on the chair.

"There is an old saying in China that goes, "before the soldiers, we hope that you can seize this opportunity. Well, let's ask the workers' representatives to talk about the reasons for the strike."

The three representatives didn't expect Zhang Anle to play this game, look at me, look at you, but one of them still stood up.

"I am Liu Xiangyang, the employee representative of the Dakang Spinning Mill. We demand the resumption of the trade union organizations in each factory, and also require the factory to fulfill the nine agreements agreed after the last strike." The representative briefly explained the union's conditions.

"Then why didn't you fulfill the agreement reached with the workers last time?" Zhang Anle turned to ask the three Japanese.

"We are gradually fulfilling those conditions, but these things cannot be done overnight. We Japanese have always kept our promises and will definitely fulfill all our promises." Another Japanese stood up and said

"What I want now is not your empty words, but a specific time. When will you realize your promise?" Zhang Anle said.

"I'm sorry that I can't give you a specific time, and although we are the owners of various factories, our enterprises are all joint ventures. The three conditions that Mayor Zhang mentioned before, we have to go back and discuss with the shareholders. Just do it." The Japanese factory owner said with a look of embarrassment.

"Then how long will it take for you to reply to me?" Zhang Anle knew that they used the dragging formula, so he reconfirmed the time.

"One week, we will definitely give Commander Zhang a satisfactory answer within a week." The Japanese said to Zhang Anle after thinking for a while.

"Three days, I will only give you three days. You have to give me an answer, then you can go back and discuss with other shareholders of the factory first." Zhang Anle said a time, he thinks three days is more reasonable The day lily is cold for a week.

"Okay, within three days, we will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation." The Japanese bowed to Zhang Anle and left with the other two.

"I've finished talking about the Japanese, now it's time to talk about yours." After the Japanese left, Zhang Anle turned to the three worker representatives and said.

: I'm really sorry, I can only update so much today. I went to greet the bride today and was caught as the master of ceremonies when I came back. My god, I'm more excited than the groom, but at least I fooled it.I drank a lot tonight, I only remembered it when I was going to sleep, and I have to update the novel, starting tomorrow, I will try my best to update more, thank you for your support.In addition, I don’t know what the vote recommended by Sanjiang is for. Now it is No.5, which is only 6 votes more than No.10. I hope everyone will vote for it, so as not to be blown up. Thank you everyone...

Volume II Triple Legs Chapter 11 Threat of Force

The next day, Yoshizawa, the Japanese Minister to China, lodged a "strong protest" to Gu Weijun, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Beijing Government: "The riots are related to the safety of Japanese lives and properties, and the Chinese government should take appropriate measures as soon as possible." The army went to protect and take effective and appropriate measures", threatening that "if the Chinese officials cannot stop the illegal riots, it is only natural for Japan to use self-defense measures".

Zhang Zuolin slammed his glass angrily when he heard the Japanese envoy's protest conveyed by Gu Weijun, "Damn it, the Japanese bully people too much!"

Having said that, he knows that Japan is still inseparable. Zhang Zuolin has always used Japan. His goal is to become the president. In his opinion, when he is just the king of the Northeast, he can agree to some conditions.Once he becomes the president and controls the power of the whole country, it is no problem to integrate the power of the whole country in Japan.

But it's not that they haven't mastered the whole country yet, and the Japanese are stationed in Lushun and Dalian are too close to their hometown.He knew that Zhang Anle had always disliked the Japanese, so he sent Zhang Zongchang a telegram to urge him to quell the chaos in Qingdao as soon as possible.

Zhang Zongchang also didn't want to offend Japan. Although he was very arrogant after occupying Shandong, he was still afraid of foreigners in his bones.What's more, the Japanese Consul General in Jinan met him yesterday and asked him to immediately take thunderous measures to protect the lives and properties of Japanese people, otherwise the Japanese government will send troops to Qingdao to protect the safety of overseas Chinese.

Horiuchi, the Japanese Consul General in Qinghai, also went to Donghai Hotel to meet Zhang Anle.

"Mayor Zhang's handling of the strike is disappointing. Not only were the rioters not punished, but our law-abiding businessmen were forced to make concessions again and again." Juei Nei protested Zhang Anle's unfair handling of the strike as soon as they met.

"Mr. Horiuchi, are you Japanese?" Zhang Anle ignored him and asked him a question instead.

"Mayor Zhang, what do you mean by that? Of course I am Japanese!" Juuchi couldn't figure out what Zhang Anle meant, but he could only answer this question.

"If Mr. Horiuchi is Japanese, then Mr. Horiuchi has amnesia. If I remember correctly, a month ago, the Yokohama District Court in Japan judged the 8 human traffickers who killed my Chinese laborers after the earthquake. This way: 4 of them were sentenced to 2 years in prison with a 2-year reprieve. 2 were sentenced to 18 months in prison with a 2-year reprieve, and 2 were released in court for insufficient evidence. You mean this is a reasonable treatment ?!" Zhang Anle spoke louder and louder, then slapped the table and stood up.

Although Juei couldn't understand what Zhang Anle said, it could be seen that Zhang Anle was very excited.Cai Peng's translation was obviously very good, Jue Nei was at a loss for words, and Zhang Anle said something just as he was about to say something.

"This is in China! It's not your Japan. Please go back and tell the law-abiding businessmen who have returned to the country if they don't accept my conditions. I can't guarantee their safety!"

"Are you threatening me? I represent the Great Japanese Empire, and you will pay the price for your arrogance." After listening to Cai Peng's translation, he had always suffered this kind of anger from Jue Nei, who was accustomed to China, and loudly Said.

"If you think it's a threat, then it's a threat. Because of your attitude, it's time for me to make up my mind. You go back and tell the law-abiding businessmen in your country that if they don't give me a satisfactory dismissal at two o'clock this afternoon, then I will All the military and police surrounding the Japanese settlement will be withdrawn!" Zhang Anle heard that Horunei dared to threaten him, do you think I'm easy to bully.

"You! You!" Juei pointed at Zhang Anle and left without knowing what to say.

After returning to the consulate, Horiuchi immediately reported the meeting with Zhang Anle to Minister Fangze.While protesting to the Chinese government, Fangze reported the matter to Japan.

"Who is this Zhang Anle? Why does he hate the empire so much?" Prince Hirohito asked the Prime Minister Takaaki Kato.
