Chapter 124 Hundred Days of Reform (please vote for me)

"I heard that the Russians invaded the Northeast."

Wang Wu was walking on Jinmen Avenue, looking at the iron train with an angry expression.

Feng Ji said: "This has been expected for a long time. Why do you think they interfered with Japan's invasion and occupation of Liaodong during the Sino-Japanese War? It was not because they wanted to occupy it themselves."

"Damn it, foreigners don't have any good things. They really treat China as the meat on their plate, and they can divide it as they want."

Feng Ji couldn't help but shake his head: "In the eyes of foreigners, isn't the Qing government just a plate of fish and meat for them to slaughter?"

Wang Wu scolded the Qing government for its incompetence and became angry.

Feng Ji patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, this is not the first time you know about this cowardly Qing government."

"I just can't get angry. How many people with lofty ideals and young talents in China have sacrificed their lives and blood for the land of China, but they still can't save China. The reason is all because of the corrupt Qing government!"

"So I have long said that if we want to truly change China's destiny, we must first eliminate the Qing government."

"Alas, you still have the foresight."

While they were talking, the two of them had already arrived at Fengjiabao.

At this time, Fengjiabao was still the property of the Feng family. Although Feng Ji rarely came back, there were still people cleaning the place.

The leaders of the Boxer Rebellion often came here to hold meetings and discuss matters, and this was also the headquarters of the Tianjin Boxer Rebellion.

As soon as Feng Ji came back, senior officials of the Boxer Rebellion immediately came out to greet him.

The leader was a fair-skinned and beautiful woman.

She is not tall, but wearing a red robe and a feather crown, she looks like the fairy queen in the play.

This lady is the leader of the Tianjin Boxer Rebellion, Lin Heier.

Lin Heier is mainly responsible for the intelligence work of the Boxer Rebellion. She calls herself Our Lady of Huanglian to the outside world, and many Catholics in the church believe in her.

Feng Ji repeatedly persuaded them that revolution is revolution and not to follow the route of religious superstition.

Unfortunately, the effect is not great. Superstition is the fastest way to expand power.

Naturally, the Boxers would not let such a shortcut pass.

"Elder brother! We haven't seen each other for several years, but you still remember our brothers and sisters in Tianjin."

Lin Heier's face was filled with joy when she saw Feng Ji, but immediately she showed a coquettish and angry expression.

As one of the leaders of the Boxer Rebellion, Feng Ji was naturally called the Big Brother.

However, most of the members of Feng Ji's Sundanese Circle joined the revolutionary army and learned scientific ideas, and were not as ignorant as other religious members.

Therefore, people from the Xunzi Temple rarely interacted with other Boxer disciples.

Because Feng Ji has been active in the south all year round, Lin Heier and others in the north inevitably complained.

Seeing Lin Heier's anger, Feng Ji just smiled: "The Boxers are so powerful now. I can hear your reputation in the south. How could I forget it?"

Lin Heier chuckled and said, "Brothers and sisters, I have also heard about your deeds in the south. I heard that you are about to reach Nanjing?"

Feng Ji chuckled and did not answer. He just asked: "I heard that many of the Boxer brothers in Shandong were wiped out by the Qing court?"

Speaking of this matter, Lin Heier looked ugly and nodded: "Yuan Shikai trains the new army. He often goes to Shandong to suppress bandits and trains with his brothers and sisters there. Huh, if he hadn't been huddled in the military camp all day long, we would have assassinated him long ago. Got him."

"What's going on now?"

"Brothers Zhao Sanduo and Yan from Shandong came up with a plan. They changed the slogan to support the Qing Dynasty and destroy the foreign countries. The government has really relaxed a lot. Now the Qing government actually recognizes our Boxer Rebellion as a militia."

"However, many private gangs have emerged in Shandong. They are using the reputation of our Boxers everywhere to do some nasty things, which has ruined our reputation."

After listening to this, Feng Ji sighed in his heart. This was the result of the Boxers having no rules and regulations and relying on superstition to organize their team.

This organization has no clear rules and regulations, and its core program is just like the White Lotus Sect.

Nowadays, the power is getting bigger and bigger, and there are more and more troubles.

Whenever bandits act, they will burn, kill, and loot in the name of the Boxers, and the consequences will be serious.

In one night, Feng Ji met with several Boxer leaders.

After the conversation, Feng Ji discovered that several leaders had changed their minds.

Three years ago, these people were so righteous that they wished they could kill all the foreigners.

But after chatting this time, Feng Ji found that these people had changed. Some of them were not only extravagant, but also extravagant and had more than a dozen concubines.

It was obvious that corruption was beginning to appear in the upper echelons of the Boxers.

After roughly understanding the situation, Feng Ji was a little disappointed with the Boxers.

Fortunately, people like Lin Heier who are familiar with him have not changed much.

Early the next morning, Feng Ji and Wang Wu made an appointment to meet Nong Jinsun.

The three of them met in a restaurant. Nong Jinsun looked much older to the naked eye, and his hair on his temples had a lot of gray.

In the past few years, he has been worried about the communication between the north and south revolutions. He was almost arrested by the Qing court several times and rescued by the Boxers many times. It is normal for him to be mentally and physically haggard and to suffer from premature aging.

However, what surprised Feng Ji was that Nong Jinsun did not come alone this time, but was accompanied by someone else.

This person is still an old acquaintance, Huo Yuanjia, who was once defeated by Feng Ji's fist!

"Brother Daoke, Fifth Brother, when did you come back?" Nong Jinsun asked in surprise.

Wang Wu smiled and said: "I just came back yesterday. Brother Yuanjia, where have you been these years? Why haven't I seen you in Jinmen?"

Huo Yuanjia has long lost the hostility he had three years ago, and now he has shown the demeanor of a master.

Hearing this, he smiled generously and said: "Since I lost to Chairman Feng three years ago, I have figured out one thing. Winning or losing in life is not important. What is important is whether it is meaningful. I took my mother and daughter to travel all over the Three Rivers and Five Mountains. , visited famous masters to practice boxing, and only came back this year.”

After that, he looked at Feng Ji, clasped his fists and sighed: "President Feng, I haven't apologized to you for what happened back then. It's just because I was young and energetic. Now that I think about it, it's really ridiculous. If it weren't for your subordinates back then, Have mercy, there is no Fearless in today’s world.”

Feng Ji smiled and felt sincerely pleased when he saw Huo Yuanjia's changed demeanor.

"Master Huo, if you can say these words, it proves that I was right about you. Don't mention the past anymore. Let's drink!"

Nong Jinsun also laughed and said: "Yes, yes, it's all in the past. Now we are all running for the revolution and working hard to revitalize China. We are all comrades. Come on, cheers."

The four of them drank together, all laughing.

Nong Jinsun asked: "I heard from Haodong, weren't you working hard in Nanyang? Why are you back?"

Feng Ji smiled: "It's a bit of a personal matter. I heard that the emperor is going to promote reforms?"

Hearing this, Nong Jinsun shook his head and said, "I'm not making sarcastic remarks. The reformers want to reform. It's useless to persuade the emperor. This reform will probably fail miserably."

Nong Jinsun had political vision. He saw early on that the Qing court was unreliable and supported the revolution very early.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. By the way, have you read this newspaper?"

Nong Jinsun took out a newspaper, which contained news that the Russian strongman mocked the Chinese as the sick men of East Asia.

Wang Wu just glanced at it, and suddenly his face was full of anger. He slapped the table and cursed: "Damn, these foreigners are so brave. They dare to be so arrogant in China!"

Nong Jinsun sighed: "The key is that this guy has won many games in a row. Everyone who challenged him was seriously injured and died."

"Now that he is making nonsense again in Shanghai, I specially invited Yuan Jia back just for this reason."

Feng Ji laughed, looked at Huo Yuanjia, and asked, "Are you confident that you can beat him?"

Huo Yuanjia also smiled: "If I can't beat him, why don't I still have you?"

Feng Ji shook his head: "I'll forget it. I need to go to the capital in the next few days, and this kind of thing is boring to fight."

Huo Yuanjia smiled bitterly: "I heard that you have already entered Hua Jin?"

"Um."

Huo Yuanjia sighed again: "Can I ask for advice?"

Feng Ji smiled: "I haven't done anything for a long time, why not give it a try?"

Huo Yuanjia's eyes lit up, he stood up immediately and said, "Okay!"

He immediately stood up and was about to set up the pile.

Feng Ji laughed and said, "Don't bother me. I'll punch you and you can feel it."

Wang Wu covered his mouth and laughed, looking like he was watching the fun.

Nong Jinsun was confused and looked at Wang Wudao: "Fifth brother, why are you laughing?"

Wang Wu chuckled and said, "You'll find out later."

But Feng Ji stood up, stretched out his hand and punched lightly.

Huo Yuanjia's eyes showed confusion, Feng Ji's fist speed was not fast, it could even be said to be slow.

And he didn't feel the burst of strength.

Subconsciously, he stretched out his palm, trying to seal Feng Jilai's fist.

"Snapped--"

The fists and palms met, and there was a slight collision sound.

The voice was not loud, but Huo Yuanjia's expression suddenly changed.

His body trembled uncontrollably, and all the energy and blood in his body collapsed in an instant.

The whole person could not move.

Feng Ji retracted his fist and said with a smile: "Do you feel it?"

After a long time, Huo Yuanjia finally came to his senses and looked at Feng Ji with a horrified face: "Is this... turning energy?"

Feng Ji nodded and said with a smile: "Can you feel any changes?"

"Ming Jin and Dark Jin are one, seemingly silent, but when the force enters the body, the energy and blood all over my body collapses instantly, and I can feel that your force is not triggered. Once it breaks out, I am afraid it will be like Ming Jin. It exploded inside my body, and with the strength of your energy and blood, my entire arm would probably be destroyed!"

Huo Yuanjia was indeed an expert. He immediately discovered the secret of Feng Ji's fist strength and exclaimed in amazement.

Feng Ji laughed: "You can understand enough to sweep the Shanghai martial arts world, but remember, it is easy to dodge open guns and hidden arrows, especially the Japanese!"

Huo Yuanjia was still immersed in the changes in Feng Ji's power and didn't pay attention to what he said for a while.

Seeing this, Feng Ji turned around and said to Nong Jinsun: "If you go to Shanghai to compete, remember to be careful of the Japanese outsiders. Any food, drink and tea provided by Master Huo need to be tested. Do you understand?"

Nong Jinsun was stunned: "You mean they can poison? No?"

"Don't think those foreigners are so noble, especially the Japanese."

Wang Wu also immediately interjected: "Yes, the Japanese are cunning, insidious, and inhumane. To them, poisoning and other methods are just child's play. I was in Nanyang and saw with my own eyes the Japanese experimenting on human bodies to study bacteria. Viruses really destroy humanity."

Nong Jinsun's face suddenly became solemn and he said: "How can they be so crazy? No wonder I often see the Japanese collecting the blood and hair of Chinese people everywhere in the name of Leshantang, probably for the purpose of researching biological weapons."

"We must pay attention to it. I will find someone to publish it in the newspaper the next day to expose their ugly face!"

A few people were talking when suddenly there was a noise outside.

The street seemed to be boiling with excitement, and everyone exclaimed.

Feng Ji, Nong Jinsun and others looked at each other, then came to the window and looked outside.

But I saw a newsboy outside holding a newspaper and shouting.

"Excuse me. The Queen Mother is giving instructions. The Kang Party intends to rebel. I will execute you tomorrow!"

The crowd suddenly exclaimed.

"The Kang Party intends to rebel? Are those the reformists?"

"Didn't they say they were reforming to save the country? Didn't the Emperor also agree?"

"Who knows? It's not the emperor who has the final say in the Qing Dynasty."

"Kang Party... Oops, my brother-in-law works in the newspaper office. Does he count as a Kang Party?"

"Go back quickly, pack up Xinruan quickly, and leave Jinmen."

Ordinary people don't understand politics. They only know that the Kang Party is those who mess with newspapers.

Nong Jinsun's expression changed slightly upstairs, and he couldn't help shouting hurriedly: "Shopkeeper, catch up with the newsboy and ask for a newspaper!"

"Objectively, our store has been prepared for a long time, you see."

The waiter handed over a newspaper, which indeed told the story of yesterday's coup in Beijing!

Feng Ji took one look and sighed in his heart. The Hundred Days Reform had indeed failed.

Tan Sitong and others may have been arrested.

Feng Ji turned his head, looked at Wang Wu, and said, "Go back and prepare your manpower to enter the capital."

Nong Jinsun quickly raised his head and looked at Feng Ji: "You want to enter Beijing?"

"Um."

"What are you doing in Beijing? At this time, I'm afraid I can get in but not get out."

Feng Ji smiled: "It doesn't matter, no one in the capital can keep me."

"But what are you doing in the capital?" Nong Jinsun was puzzled.

Feng Ji sighed: "There are many patriots among the Kang Party. They should not die in the party struggle. I want to save them!"

"Save them?"

Nong Jinsun's heart was shocked. He thought for a moment and immediately said: "Brother Daoke, I am willing to help you!"

Feng Ji was surprised: "Jinsun, what are you doing?"

"You are right. These people are the most knowledgeable people in the country and should not die in party struggles."

"Since the Qing court cannot tolerate them, it is better to take them to the south."

Feng Ji laughed loudly and said, "Then you and I have thought of something."

Huo Yuanjia also said: "How can I be left out for such a major event for the country and the people? President Feng, I am willing to go to Beijing with you!"

Beijing, Liuyang Guild Hall.

Through the window, Jiu Jin looked out at officers and soldiers searching everywhere, and the streets were full of chaos.

She looked anxious and looked back at Tan Sitong, who was sitting in the club drinking silently.

"Master, the officers and soldiers outside are searching for reformers everywhere. I'm afraid the capital will be sealed off. Let's leave quickly!"

Tan Sitong smelled of alcohol and his eyes were miserable: "Let's go? The world is so big, where can we go? The reform failed, I mistakenly believed in the traitor, and I am already the biggest fool in history."

Jiujin was anxious: "Teacher Kang and the others have all gone, young master, leaving the green hills behind without worrying about having no firewood."

Tan Sitong sighed and shook his head: "I would like to use my body as firewood to ignite the fire of China, but look at the green hills that have long since decayed."

He closed his eyes in pain and said, "Jiu Jin, let's go."

"Master!" Jiu Jin burst into tears and knelt in front of him.

Tan Sitong sighed: "Although you and I are master and servant in name, I have always regarded you as my biological sister. I have been running around all my life, but I have never found a lover for you. Now I have even hurt you. Go and don't come back again." .”

"I won't leave, Master! If you don't leave, I won't go anywhere! Wuwu..."

Jiujin started to cry. She was originally Tan Sitong's maid, but the young master never treated her as a servant. Instead, he took her to travel around the world to expand her knowledge.

She has also regarded the young master as her brother and parent. At this time, the young master encountered a disaster and Teacher Kang and others abandoned him. How could she leave the young master again?

Tan Sitong pushed away the crying Jiujin, his eyes turned red, and he said angrily: "Go away!"

"I won't leave, young master! You can come with me, my master and his wife are waiting for you in Hunan..."

Hearing Jiu Jin mention his parents, Tan Sitong's eyes blurred with tears and he said bitterly: "I have been running for reform all my life, seeking a way to save the country and survive. Seeing that hope is in front of me, I mistakenly believed in villains and affected the reform faction and many friends. Everything was wrong. Me, how can I just leave?"

"Jiujin, you have been with me for many years, you should understand me!"

"Let's go, don't sacrifice your life in vain, my parents still need you to help me take care of them."

"Master..."

Bang!

The door of the guild hall downstairs burst open, and then the noisy sounds of officers and soldiers coming upstairs were heard.

Tan Sitong's expression changed, he pushed open the window and yelled at Jiujin: "Let's go! Let's go quickly!"

Jiu Jin shook his head desperately, crying like a raindrop.

Upon seeing this, Tan Sitong gritted his teeth, took out a dagger, put it against his neck, and said angrily: "Jiu Jin, if you don't leave, I will kill myself on the spot in front of your eyes!"

"No - Master, Master, please come with me, please."

"Are you leaving?"

Tan Sitong shouted angrily in a low voice, and the blade had already cut his skin.

Jiu Jin turned pale with fright. He stood up in a hurry and shouted in a tearful tone: "No, Master, I'm leaving, I'm leaving. Don't do anything stupid."

"Let's go!"

Jiujin pursed his lips, jumped out of the window, and climbed onto the roof.

At this moment, the door burst open and a group of officers and soldiers rushed in.

"The Kang Party is here, the Kang Party is here!"

Someone shouted excitedly, and a group of officers and soldiers rose up and surrounded Tan Sitong.

Tan Sitong snorted coldly and shouted: "You don't need to do anything, I will do it myself!"

He put on the shackles, and his expression was no longer sad, but showed determination.

"Tan Sitong, you are plotting a rebellion, and I will arrest you on the order of the emperor!"

Tan Sitong said disdainfully: "The emperor's order? Hahaha... Go tell Cixi and Yuan Shikai that I, Tan Sitong, will die today, but they will be sinners throughout the ages."

"Be bold!"

The officers and soldiers were furious and came forward to arrest him.

Jiujin clenched his fist tightly and watched with his own eyes as Tan Sitong was arrested and imprisoned.

Her eyes were red, filled with grief, anger and fear. She hated Kang Youwei and others for not being loyal and escaping on their own, and she also hated Yuan Shikai for being capricious and betraying the young master. I hate myself even more for being powerless and unable to take the young master away.

For a moment, she burst into tears and was at a loss, not knowing what to do.

His mind was in a mess, and in such panic, for some reason, the person he admired in his heart emerged.

"Brother Jiujin, if Brother Tan is killed one day, you can go to Jinmen to send a message."

What that man said to me at the train station three years ago is still vivid in my mind.

She suddenly woke up: "Brother Feng! Yes, we should go find Brother Feng! There is also Fifth Brother, they will definitely save the young master!"
