The heavens began with Huo Yuanjia

Chapter 24 Time and Development

1904 arrived without knowing it, and Li Yong has been in this world for three years.

Sometimes without knowing it, he feels as if he has integrated into this world, and he has truly become a person in this world, no different from Huo Yuanjia and the others.

But he still knows that he is different. After all, he not only knows the development of the movie plot, but also roughly knows the direction of history.

As a player in the game, he knows that no matter what he does, he will not change the reality, but sometimes he can't help but want to work hard, and do as much as he can.

Although his writing is not enough to be considered as martial arts, there are still many things within his power.

Not to mention writing novels, he also actively participated in the management of the martial arts school, and joined the Tianjin Chamber of Commerce Relief Association where Nong Jinsun participated. In his spare time, he did some work to prevent free clinics and relief. Many refugees from the three northeastern provinces were displaced.

In fact, because I am in Tianjin, it should be said that it will be relatively peaceful in the next few years.

Of course, for Huo Yuanjia and Li Yong, there was some unrest in the calm, but it was a good thing.

First of all, it was naturally Li Yong. "Tianlong" continued to be serialized in "New Novel". As the plot progressed, especially from the original grievances in the Jianghu to the court and even the national war, it finally got the magazine Part of the original affirmation from those readers.

In fact, this is also related to the changes in the current situation. At this time, there is no political party that can lead everything in China. Although there have been many people with lofty ideals and revolutionaries, they do not have a common program of progress, nor have they planned their own goals.

Without guidance, in the end it will be a mess, each going its own way.

In fact, various trends of thought in China have emerged in recent years, which can be called a hundred schools of thought contend, but generally speaking, you say what you say, and I sing what you say, and they have nothing to do with each other, let alone whoever persuades the other.

The awakening and unification of national consciousness takes time.

But no matter which family they are in, they are all in agreement on one thing, that is to resist foreign aggression and revitalize China.

Under such circumstances, "Dragon" raised the banner of fighting against foreign enemies with the most basic and simple patriotic sentiments. This is the most correct thing that people of insight in this era do not doubt. So the perception of it will naturally change.

And with the development of reality, more and more people have been mobilized with their inner patriotic enthusiasm. The more disappointed they are in reality, the more they will find resonance and hope in stories like "Dragon".

In February, the Russo-Japanese War broke out.

In May, the Japanese army occupied Dalian.

Since then, it has continued until the following year, when the Russo-Japanese War saw the three eastern provinces of China, but China became a spectator.

The Qing court strictly maintained neutrality in this situation, and there was nothing to do if it was not neutral, because this place was occupied by Tsarist Russia before, but now it is about to become Japan's lunch again.

This kind of feeling of being a mermaid is obviously uncomfortable.

The three eastern provinces are thousands of miles away from Tianjin. In this era when transportation and communications were not so developed, it was naturally difficult to reach here.

Of course, this has something to do with the fact that Jinmen is a commercial port and there are many foreigners here. No matter how Japan and Russia fight, it will basically not affect here, or it will cause a diplomatic incident.

So invisibly speaking, the Chinese are here because of the foreigners, so they can guarantee their safety.

But this doesn't affect it. People in Jinmen like to watch "Dragon" and discuss "Dragon" during this time.

"New Novel" sold best in Tianjin and Shanghai in several points in China, and they all became a sharp weapon for patriotic propaganda.

There is no other reason, it is because in the plot of "Tianlong", it happened to be the stage when the Jin and Liao were fighting in Yanyun, while the Song court maintained its "independence".

Of course, this is actually Li Yong's intention.

He didn't have a clear timeline of the story before, but he happened to hear about the Russo-Japanese War, so he simply added this into it.

At this moment, just as at that moment.

How could this not resonate with many people?

The impact of the war on Jinmen is not without it, not to mention the fluctuation of prices, because the three eastern provinces allow mermaid meat, and the aspiring young people in Jinmen who are watching from the side are naturally ashamed.

At this time, "Tianlong" came into their sight. It described great heroes like Qiao Feng, as well as the sentence "The great chivalrous man serves the country and the people", and how Qiao Feng led the Beggar Gang to fight against foreign aggression and resist the Liao Dynasty. The deeds of the army are all exciting to see.

"That's right, man!"

"If you surrender, you would rather die!"

"That generation invaded our frontiers, invaded my homeland, and wanted to give money and food afterwards, just like raising dogs, domesticating us to serve them. Could it be that we have no bones and can only eat their bones?"

"What about the imperial court? It doesn't matter to me whether I want to fight or not? What we guarded in my life was not the imperial court of Lao Shizi, but the home that raised us and irrigated us. It is the parents and relatives behind us. I am waiting for future descendants."

In this age, this kind of speech is very suitable for these people.

Under such circumstances, the Huo Family Boxing Gym gradually attracted the attention of many young people, as well as those who had gradually awakened, so more and more disciples were accepted.

In fact, some people just came to find the author at first, but when they came to the Huo Family Martial Arts Gym, it turned out that the author was really a "martial arts master", so the disciples of the Huo Family Martial Arts Gym liked +1.

Of course, because some descriptions in the later period became more and more explicit, Li Yong also caused some troubles.

This is actually quite normal. Even in the Four Great Condemnation Novels of the late Qing Dynasty, although they criticize current events and expose social phenomena, they still restrain themselves.

As for Li Yong, he is no longer called insinuating the authorities, but almost named.

But fortunately, at this time, various trends of thought are emerging, and people from all walks of life have a lot of reflections. As long as they don't touch the bottom line of the authorities, or are targeted by someone, no one will take the initiative to find such a small person like him Trouble.

Moreover, he is not irrelevant in the Jinmen officialdom.

Because of Yuan Kewen, Zhao Bingjun, the head of the police station, later took care of Li Yong.

Although Yuan Kewen was called to Zhili and was directly disciplined by his father, he was very active in his mind. While doing superficial work for Yuan Shikai, he was secretly doing his own business.

In particular, "Tianlong" has a small spread in Zhili, and it is basically the favorite of those yamen.

In fact, among the yamen, there are quite a few cynical-minded people. "Tianlong" naturally caught their appetite, and relying on this book, Yuan Kewen even formed a "Zhili gang" among these yamen, doing The first thing is to promote the novel "Tianlong".

This also makes the influence of "Tianlong" gradually expand in places that Li Yong can't see.

And Yuan Kewen would naturally order Zhao Bingjun to take good care of Li Yong.

Zhao Bingjun is not a villain in the first place, and it seems that such a person who can do practical things always has some pursuits in his heart.

Li Yong even faintly noticed that Yuan Shikai already had some thoughts at this time.

This Zhao Bingjun is probably also aware of this kind of thinking, so in order to cater to Yuan Shikai, of course he wants to do something about it.

The public opinion offensive against the imperial court like "Dragon" is beneficial to them, so they will protect it.

If they really become a thing in the future, I am afraid they will be the first to ban this "Tianlong".
