The battalion boxers continued to hurry, only three or fifty people circled the group and questioned their origins.
"There is no foreign cargo, let's check it out." A man like a master, he said, he has two axe in his waist. It is estimated that he is the god of Li Wei, a group of boys behind him, all with knife sticks. Look straight into the carriage and touch it.
The Boxer Group hates foreigners the most, and even hates it with foreign goods. They find that any bit of foreign goods will bring disasters to the top, not to mention the fact that the carriages are not the usual foreign goods, but a pair of genuine foreign women. .
Lien Chan’s horses felt the murderous anger, and the uneasily snoring, the hoof was smashed on the ground.
"We are the governor of Shandong Province, and the escort of Yuan Daren's family to Jinan, this master can have advice?" Liu Yan straight fist, replied in a loud voice, while inadvertently revealing the gun handle of the shell gun.
When I heard the words of the Shandong governor, the murderous martial arts of the boxers immediately turned into a low-browed eye. No one dared to say half a word, and the squad circulated from the side, which made everyone feel surprised.
"I didn't expect this tiger skin to work." Lei Mengxiao smiled.
"It is Yuan Shikai's name that scared them away." Liu Yanzhi said.
"Yuan Datou?" Lei Meng stunned. "Is he so bull?"
"I have learned history. When Yuan Shikai was a governor in Shandong, he was very ironic. He invited a group of Yihetuan leaders to the governor's door to let them perform in public, and the result was a slap in the face."
Liu Yanzhi’s explanation made everyone relieved. It seems that Yuan Shikai, the later thief of the country, was still a clear-headed official at this time, and his journey in Shandong was much more relaxed.
Facts have proved that in addition to seeing two Yihetuan groups in Lunan, the entire Shandong territory is still peaceful, and burning the church is not a matter of what happened within Yuan Shikai, but a good thing that his predecessor, Yu Xian, did.
A few days later, the small team finally bypassed Dongyue Taishan and successfully arrived in Jinan. They lived in a clean inn, took a bath and had a good night's sleep. Zhao avoided the dust and went to the south for many years. Friends on the rivers and lakes abounded. He went out alone. For a long time, brought back a big news, the foreigners’ army landed at Dagukou and was marching to the capital.
"Tianjin has already started the war, and the north side is not peaceful." Zhao avoided the dust, he was not worried that Beijing City was trapped in the enemy, but he was afraid of delaying the trip, and the family worried.
"It's okay, they beat them, we walked us." Lei Meng said, "Let's get around the battlefield."
"Since all of you are not afraid, then Zhao will give up his life with the gentleman." Zhao avoided the dust.
After a half-day break in Jinan, the small team set off again, all the way to the north. The simple carriage that was previously bought was too slow. It was sold by Liu Yanzhi and replaced a four-wheeled carriage made by a provincial city workshop with a spring steel plate. The carriages of the shock and rubber wheels obviously belong to the foreign goods series. They also have to lose money. The price is not expensive, so they have a big bargain.When I was on the road, I was lucky enough to meet the eight-lifted sedan of Yuan’s governor. The big wooden sign with the words “Silence” was opened in front, and the eight-lifted green sedan was followed by a monk with a red cap. Waist knives on the waist, the shoulders turned out to be a new German-made Mauser fast gun, the blue steel barrel, the bright bayonet, with a large Chinese robe and boots, a strange feeling.
From Jinan to Tianjin Wei before the plains, there are Zhao to avoid dust, live in what shop, eat what, do not use them to worry, but the more northward the atmosphere is not the right, it is said that Yuan Shikai severely attacked the Yihetuan, so the Shandong boxers The north is up, and the entire Zhili area, at least hundreds of thousands of boxers are active.
Straight official roads are on the sides of the wheat that is about to mature. A gust of wind blows, the wheat waves roll, the empty people in the wheat fields work, the men’s righteous fists, the women’s red light, who still manages the crops in the field.
In the early summer season, the weather in northern China is still very cool. There are only poles that have been cut down on the road. There are no pedestrians. This kind of comfort and quietness makes people feel quiet and seems to surpass time and space.
Lei Meng and Zhao Xiaochen were in front of each other. After Zhang Wenbo and Guo Yuhang, Liu Yanzhi was responsible for catching the carriage. Sophie was sitting in the car with his child. The curtains provoked, and the two had a conversation without a ride. It is Chinese and French.
Liu Yanzhi has excellent language talents and amazing memory. He can learn English fluent English by watching movies. There is an original Frenchman who communicates with him. Learning French is not a problem. At least the daily conversation is no problem, and it is authentic Paris. Human accent.
Closer to Tianjin Wei, Liu Yanzhi can smell the smoke from the air, there are Chinese-style black powder, and also the bitter acid and TNT used by Europeans. It seems that the war has begun.
Outside Tianjin, they finally witnessed a modern war.
The two sides of the war are the Qing army and the Eight-Power Allied Forces. They are fighting in the field. The Qing army has pressed thousands of people to suppress the flag. The flag is for the prestige. Their flagpoles are long, the flags are colorful, and the generals recognize the flags. There are command flags for commanding operations, and some do not know the so-called, all kinds of variegated flags that are good-looking, far away, like the entrance ceremony of the Olympic Games.
The other party does not know which country among the eight countries. It seems to be a bit of a modern army. There is no striking banner. The military uniform is also a khaki. It is lined with sparse lines and a rifle with a bayonet.
The two armies began to fire at each other about a mile away. The Qing army had very complicated costumes and weapons, but the gunshots were all imported fast guns. The smoke was not big. The picric acid propellant was used instead of black powder. However, it is obviously not worthy of the coalition forces. From time to time, some people have been shot down to the ground. It is clearly that their bright and eye-catching flags and livery have pointed out the target to the enemy. This is the gap of the times.
Through the group and the vast number of people in Tianjin witnessed the battle together, it is amazing that there are also a lot of people fighting and watching, and there are still many people watching the crowd, more than the soldiers who are fighting, and everyone obviously does not care who wins and who wins. It’s a lively picture.There were only a few coalition soldiers, only one hundred and ten people, and they insisted on shooting for half an hour. The flag of the Boxer suddenly appeared in the side of the back. This group of people was different when they started to fight, and countless shirtless men rushed before the big knife. I am not afraid of death. It is estimated that I have been drinking the water before, I believe that the myth of the invulnerability, or the courage.
The small coalition forces did not carry machine guns, and the rifle alone could not resist this death charge, and they lost in an instant and fled.
This partial battle seems to be a victory for the Qing Dynasty, but the development of the incident was unexpected. I don't know why, the Qing army and the Boxer Rebellion did it again. The two sides faced each other and played with each other.
It is no longer meaningful to look at it again. The group travels westward under the leadership of Zhao Shechen. Tianjin City is in the center of the war. It is unwise to enter the city at this moment.
Walking, Liu Yanzhi, who was driving, suddenly took hold of the reins: "Call~~~"
The horse pulling the car stopped. He jumped out of the car and walked into the bushes on the side of the road. Everyone thought he was a Christine. I didn’t expect Liu Yan to pull out a British Indian mercenary from the bushes.
The soldier was wearing an Indian-style baotou, wearing a khaki military uniform, no back guns, and his leather bullet pockets were still black, panicked, gunshot wounds on his legs, and blood eroded his pants and leggings.
"Oh, the province's scourge of the people of Beijing." Lei Meng said that for the notoriety of the Eight-Power Allied Forces, every Chinese is unforgettable, first occupied, the people are slaughtered, this hatred, not a hundred years Will forget.
Liu Yanzhi did not shoot the gun, the bullet was not easy to add, and he could use the knife without a gun. He slowly took the knife and drank it in English to make the Indian mercenary squat.
"Rare life, you are also eating rice." The Indian soldier actually had a mouthful of Shandong accent.
"You are Chinese?" Liu Yan suspicion, look carefully, the soldier is really the face of East Asians, but the sun is dark, coupled with the Indian Baotou and Western-style military uniforms, the predecessor is the Indian mercenary in the British army. Mercenaries are genuine, but not from India, but from Shandong.
"I am Weihai Weiren in Shandong." The soldier pleaded. "There are seventy-year-old mothers and three-year-old children in the family who are counting on me to eat. After killing them, they are finished."
Liu Yanzhi put the knife on the soldier's neck: "You fucking dog traitors, why do you want to give the British life!"
Soldiers hoes like hoes: "The lord is forgiving, and the foreign devils have more military squads. One month and eight silvers are more than one year, and there are so many families. If you don't eat food, you will not live."
Liu Yanzhi said: "Hey, you can help the foreign devils hit the Chinese, and today I am not killing you."
Lei Meng and others also screamed: "Do not talk nonsense, kill him, the most hated by Lao Tzu is the traitor traitor."
Sophie hugged the child in the car, not letting the young Catherine see the bloody scene.
Zhao has no expression on the face, no matter what.
Liu Yan lifted the knife straight, and the man did not ask for mercy. Instead, he slammed his neck and said: "Kill it! It’s dead in both the horizontal and the vertical, and it’s still bad for the British in the afterlife!”"When you are a traitor, you still have a sense of pride." Liu Yan straightened and put down the knife. "I want to hear, how do you want to be a traitor, then want to be a traitor?"
The man was not afraid of color, sitting on the ground with his injured leg, and whispered: "I don't know what the traitor is. This Qing Dynasty was not the Han people who used to sit on the temple. The West Queen Mother, the emperor, was full of people. This official residence also It is not the official residence of our people. It is the official residence of the imperial court. It is the official residence of the lord. It is the official residence of the landlord. The family was devastated in the previous year, and a crop could not be beaten. The government not only did not help, but also sent a bureaucrat like a wolf. In order to protect the seed grain of the coming year, they were killed, and the daughter-in-law also jumped into the well. The two acres of thin fields in the house let the landlord take it away. If you didn’t eat the British food, the old lady and the baby Have to starve to death."
Liu Yan said: "That can't be a dog for the British."
The humanity said: "What happened to the British! The British are derogatory, the British are rules, the British do not drink blood, every month, eight or two silver, when it comes to doing it, not only to the full army, but also to wear new clothes every season. The meal is high enough, and the pork is good enough. I have never eaten a full meal in my life. I have entered the gate of Huayong Camp. I have never been hungry for meal. This kind of master is willing to work hard for him."
Liu Yanzhi is speechless.
"The country does not know that there are people, the people do not know that there is a country." Zhao Xuchen said far away, the old darts have seen a lot of knowledge, have long seen.
"What is your name? What soldiers are in Huayong Camp?" Liu Yan asked, taking the knife back into the sheath.
"The screaming Liang Dingbang, Hua Yongying second corporal." Weihai mercenary pointed at the V-shaped military rank on his arm and did not have the pride to answer.
