Rebirth of the Northern Giants

On the other hand, Sheng Xuanhuai saw Ye Zhikui's complexion, shook his head, stepped forward and sincerely persuaded him: "Congyun, you have a high position and a strong army, and it is expected that the imperial court will be jealous, but I believe that after a period of time, the imperial court will compensate you. .”

Only Ye Zhikui felt aggrieved and thought: I am the one who pays for the treats, and you are the ones who drink and have fun, and finally played with me together.After one game, more than 4000 strong soldiers of the Wu Yi Army could not return, but even the more than 1 Wu Yi Army in Lutai is not comparable to you local chickens and dogs.

Volume Two, The Wind and Cloud of the Capital

Zhao Sanduo put on the eagle badge carefully and walked into Tianjin Lv Zutang. Lv Zutang is a Taoist temple dedicated to the immortal Lu Dongbin. Cao Futian, the leader of the Tianjin Boxer Regiment, set up the main altar here.

Not long ago, according to the instructions from above, Zhao Sanduo led his Boxer Regiment into pieces and headed north all the way to Tianjin.

Today, the leaders of the boxers from all walks of life are going to gather at the Lu Zutang to worship the altar and discuss the plan for the struggle against the enemy. Zhao Sanduo, as a veteran of the boxers, is of course invited.

When Zhao Sanduo walked into the hall, there was already a lot of people inside, and it was extremely lively. There were people in various costumes, and some people even showed their breasts and breasts indifferently, and didn't care.

Most of the leaders of the Boxer Regiment came from reckless backgrounds. There were monks, nuns, prostitutes and so on. There were not so many stinky rules, so it seemed a bit noisy inside.

Zhao Sanduo looked over carefully with his eyes, but he saw heroes from all walks of life gathered, some unknown and some familiar, totaling about [-] people.

Including Zhu Hongdeng, the leader of the Boxer Regiment in Shandong Plain, Monk Xincheng, Wang Liyan, Yu Qingshui, etc.; Zhang Decheng, the leader of the "No. [-] Regiment in the World" in Hebei; In Kunming, there are the leaders of Tianjin, Cao Futian, Lin Heier, Liu Chengxiang, etc., and of course there are brothers who came with him from Shandong.

To Zhao Sanduo's surprise, amidst the din of everyone, there was a middle-aged man he didn't know, with a poker face, a very ordinary appearance, but with a refined temperament, which was out of tune with the surroundings.

He didn't say much, and sat down at the head of Cao Futian with a desolate face, but looking at Cao Futian's appearance, he obviously respected him very much, and turned around from time to time to whisper a few words to him.

When Zhao Sanduo entered the door, everyone stood up and greeted him, because he was the first to raise the banner of helping the Qing Dynasty and destroying foreign countries, and he was the veteran of the Boxer Regiment. Many leaders of the Boxer Regiment saw Zhao Sanduo wearing it on his chest. With the eagle badge, his eyes lighted up, he lowered his head, stopped talking, and didn't know what to think about.

Zhao Sanduo sat down next to his old acquaintance Yan Shuqin, and exchanged pleasantries with him.

Most of the leaders of the Boxer Regiment were reckless heroes who were well-known in various places. They had a lot of martial arts, and some of them were even scholars.

Cao Futian saw that almost everyone was coming, so he straightened up, clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention, and said loudly: "All heroes, all brothers, we are here today to discuss two things. The rules and regulations of the regiment, there is no rule without rules, this is also to prevent our boxers from becoming a group of mobs; the second is to discuss how to help the Qing Dynasty and destroy the foreign countries. Everyone can put forward any opinions on the spot.”

Liu Chengxiang, who was beside Cao Futian, immediately agreed: "Now that the imperial court has appeased us, we are no longer a group of rioters, but an army. Since ancient times, how can the army have no military discipline, so the top priority is not to burn down the churches of foreigners, but to burn down the churches of foreigners. Set up rules to prohibit brothers from killing innocent people indiscriminately, bringing disaster to the villagers."

Zhu Hongdeng said unhurriedly: "Brother Liu's words and I, Zhu, do not agree. What our Boxers did was to kill foreigners. What are we doing here if we don't burn down foreigners' churches? You just need to know what the rules are."

Zhu Hongdeng fought all the way from Shandong. I don’t know how many foreigners and religious people died in his hands. Similarly, many of his subordinates also died in battle. Therefore, it is not surprising that he hated foreigners. Boxing, learn red light, kill foreign devils, destroy Catholicism" and other slogans.

Zhao Sanduo got up and persuaded, "The foreigners are going to be killed, but now that many foreigners are fleeing to the foreign concessions, we can't take our brothers to attack the foreign concessions, right? We have to think about it in the long term."

Grand Marshal Zhou Laokun echoed: "Now some boxers are killing innocent people indiscriminately. It really shouldn't be. We are all Chinese. As long as they change their religion, it doesn't matter if they spare his life. So I agree with Brother Cao's proposal. "

The Boxers led by Zhou Laokun have strict disciplines, stipulating that "any door with door gods or blessings written on it will not enter."People who declared that they quit religion or turned against religion and worshiped gods and Buddhas would not be held accountable, so he strongly agreed with Cao Futian's opinion.

The two big brother-level figures agreed, and the venue fell silent. Everyone began to bow their heads in thought, and no one spoke for a while.

At this moment, Cao Futian, who had been smiling all the time, turned to the middle-aged man beside him who had been silent all the time, and broke the silence and said, "Mr. Wu, what advice do you have for this? We are in a difficult situation now, and I hope Mr. Wu will give you some advice."

When everyone heard these words, Qi Qi set his sights on this unremarkable middle-aged man, to see what kind of insight he had, so that Cao Futian valued him so much.

That Mr. Wu stood up slowly. At first, he was considered inconspicuous and ordinary when he was sitting, but now when he stood up, he was like a tiger coming out of its box, giving people a sense of oppression.

Mr. Wu said surprisingly: "If everyone only wants to be quick for a while, there is no need to unify the rules, but I guess everyone is not far from destruction!"

There was a lot of discussion among the audience, and everyone felt that he was making a fuss. Seeing this, Cao Futian stopped him immediately.

Mr. Wu waited until everyone below looked at him and stopped talking, then said Shi Shiran again: "Our Boxer Regiment is becoming more and more powerful now, but now anyone can join the group, and a large number of local hooligans have also mixed in. Among us, these people don't have the courage to kill foreigners, but they are very hard to bully the Chinese. If things go on like this, not only will the government oppose us and change support to suppression, even the villagers who originally supported us will leave us. Where will we be then? Isn’t it not far from destruction?”

Everyone was attracted by his words, and they all nodded, thinking that there was still some truth.

Mr. Wu paused, his tone increased, and he said in a somewhat serious tone: "So, in the long run, we must not only formulate rules, but also strictly enforce them, and drive away the black sheep in the regiment, so as not to They ruined our reputation, and then we can unite as one to attack foreigners and drive them out of China."

Mr. Wu then heaved a long sigh and said: "I heard that many foreign goods stores have been destroyed by us. Foreign goods have been in China for a long time. What is the crime of the merchants? The sages have said: Know what you know, what you don't know is what you don't know, and we will destroy it." It is foreigners, not foreign goods. When foreign goods enter China, we learn and make them, and they become our Chinese things. Since ancient times, we Chinese have learned a lot from foreign countries. Why should we destroy them? Are you all the same? Some ignorant fools and village girls?"

The leaders of the Boxer Regiment were blushed by what he said, not because they were ignorant, but because sometimes they were too lazy to take care of these things.

Zhang Decheng, the leader of the "No. [-] Regiment in the World", responded in a calm manner: "This Mr. Wu is not unreasonable."

Then he asked Cao Futian calmly, "I just don't know who this Mr. Wu is, and he can talk here."

Cao Futian adjusted his sitting posture to make himself appear more imposing, and introduced in a serious manner: "This Mr. Wu is a great talent, he is the military adviser of our Tianjin Boxer Regiment, what he said is equal to the opinion of our Tianjin Boxer Regiment. "

Having said that, both Lin Heier and Liu Chengxiang nodded in agreement.

Cao Futian continued: "As for Mr. Wu's identity, there is no problem. If it weren't for Mr. Wu's help, our Tianjin Boxers would not have come together and worked together to destroy several churches. Without Mr. Wu, there would be no Without today's gathering, Mr. Wu is still in contact with the princes in the court, trying his best to develop our boxers into the capital, and Mr. Wu has a bigger plan, which is to enter the capital after all our boxers communicate with each other and unite together Attack the church of the foreigners."

When attacking the foreign church in the capital, everyone's expressions changed. It really was a big deal. When everyone was still making trouble, Mr. Wu had already thought of this step.

When Zhang Decheng heard the words, he no longer objected. Zhu Hongdeng also took the overall situation into consideration, and said seriously: "Since your old Cao has said so, I have no objection."

Seeing this, Cao Futian felt slightly happy, and said, "It's getting late now, why don't we determine the rules tomorrow, and finally discuss how to kill foreigners and devils."

The sky outside the door had already dimmed, and everyone was a little tired after talking farts for so long, so they stopped discussing, ended hastily, and then walked out of the hall one by one.

When Mr. Wu passed by Zhao Sanduo, he suddenly said softly: "The bright moon shines in the sky."

Zhao Sanduo was taken aback, looked left and right, saw no one was paying attention, and then replied word by word: "Sister Feng and Sister Fu Rong."

"Stay in the room tonight, someone will come looking for you." Seeing that the signal was good, Mr. Wu answered and continued, and then walked out without looking back.

Volume 1 The Wind and Cloud of the Capital

That night, Zhao Sanduo waited in the room for the person from above with great anticipation.

Ever since he joined the mysterious anti-Qing organization from Shandong, he felt that everything he did became smoother. Take this time when he entered Tianjin from Shandong. Some general defenses in the area, which county magistrate is sympathetic to the Boxers, which county magistrate has a prejudice against the Boxers, and more attention should be paid to it, and they are all clearly stated.

As Zhao Sanduo got to know more deeply, he felt more and more that the organization was so powerful that he couldn't compare it with a peek. He wanted to get closer, but he never got a good opportunity.

Bang bang bang, there was a rush of knocking on the door, Zhao Sanduo stood up, with a smile on his face, walked forward, opened the door and saw that it was his old brother Yan Shuqin, he couldn't help being stunned, his smile froze on the face.

Fortunately, he was very clever, and immediately said with a smile: "Old Yan, what can you do with me at such a late hour?"

Yan Shuqin stamped his feet to drive away the cold air, with a strange smile on his lips, he said, "Do you want me to stand at the door and talk, old Zhao?"

Zhao Sanduo smiled sheepishly, and hurriedly invited him in, made a cup of tea, and waited for him to speak, but he was a little anxious, it would be bad if someone from the organization came to meet Yan Shuqin.

Yan Shuqin unhurriedly took a sip of tea, wiped the corners of his mouth, and then said grinningly, "The bright moon shines in the sky."

Zhao Sand was so shocked that he almost fell off the chair, and suddenly realized, he hurriedly replied: "Sister Feng and Sister Furong."

Then he couldn't wait, and asked in disbelief: "Old Yan, you are actually a member of the organization. You and I have been together for so long, how come I haven't seen any abnormalities in you." He and Yan Shuqin have been together for more than ten years old friend.One can imagine the shock in my heart.

Yan Shuqin also let out a long sigh, and sighed: "Old Zhao, I didn't know that you were already a member of the organization until I saw you wearing the badge today. I was still thinking about how to introduce you to the organization! This time the boss It is really unexpected to send me to lead you in."

"Lead me in?" Zhao Sanduo was a little puzzled. Didn't he already join the organization?

Seeing his expression, Yan Shuqin smiled to himself, slowly took out an eagle badge from his bosom, handed it to Zhao Sanduo and said, "Look, this is a two-headed eagle. The organization has inspected you for many days, and you have been loyal to your work and have not betrayed the organization, so it is decided to recruit you into the organization and become a peripheral member of the organization."

"What? Peripheral personnel? Could it be that I wasn't even counted as a peripheral member before, so what is that?" Zhao Sanduo was a little depressed and curious.
