Chapter 192 Robbery
In the territory of Hejian Prefecture in Zhili, surrounded by mountains, there is a village called Liujiatai. This place is located in Shandong, the border between Zhili and the border. It is not far from Dezhou. It is also very convenient to get close to the station. In the village, you can pick some local goods to sell at the station, and it is a little easier to live in life. Because its administration is placed in northern Zhili, it is not under the jurisdiction of Shandong, so the killing of boxers in Shandong is in full swing, but it has no effect on the place. The name of this mountain is not nice. It is said that it was an ancient battlefield and killed countless people. It was cloudy and rainy, and even there was a sound of ghosts crying. Therefore, the name of the mountain is called: Senluo Palace.
Liu Guizong, the largest rich man in the village, once had a grudge against the people because of holding a lantern festival. The government protected the people, which made him lose a lot of money and lost face. Therefore, the first time the Kanli two punches started, his family set up an altar, and the whole family practiced boxing and entered the teachings.
Not long after, the family of those believers who were against him disappeared and disappeared. It is said that his teacher used his supernatural powers to invite Liu Ding and Liu Jia to capture all the teachings. From then on, Liu Guizong became the backbone of the boxing people.
In the past few days, there has been smoke in the cooking yard of the Liu family. A large flag with the word "Zhao" was raised high in his yard. The exquisitely made of the banner is no different from the banner used by the Grand Marshal, and it is particularly eye-catching.
At this time, Liujiatai had turned into a red ocean, and more and more people wrapped in red turbans gathered here. Among them, some of them came here to meet up and obey the orders of the chief leader Zhao Laozhu, and some were forced by Yuan Weiting's subordinates and had nowhere to gain a foothold in Shandong and came to join.
Some people who are not boxers, but have long admired Zhao Lao Zhu's reputation. They are also bullied by foreigners or religious people. They have no livelihood or have suffered great humiliation. They come to ask Zhao Lao Zhu to help him seek justice. With various purposes, more and more boxers occupy the streets and alleys of the village.
Among these people, not all poor people, and some of them are gentry and landlords in the village who practice boxing themselves or are bullied by foreigners, so they ask for help. They do not come here naked, and they carry more food and side food. Therefore, although there are many boxers, they will not be cut off for the time being.
Zhao Laozhu was able to command soldiers, and the quality of the boxing people was mixed, and there were all kinds of people, but with his Zhao flag, no one dared to commit crimes. Therefore, the people did not feel bad about this armed force. Seeing their practice of martial arts, some young people took the initiative to join. Almost all the villages practice boxing, and all the martial arts.
In the yard, some young young men were holding pitchforks and practicing in their hands. A group of unsuccessful children were wearing torn jackets full of patches and rubbing their sleeves from time to time in the cold wind. They also had a red cloth on their heads, and they were holding wooden knives or wooden guns. Although their faces were red and dry, they still swung the wooden knives in their hands desperately and shouted, "Kill foreign devils, kill foreign devils!"
Outside Liu Guizong's yard, several fast horses arrived like flying. The leader was a man with a mighty appearance like a diamond with a curly beard and a charcoal face. He was carrying a wide blade and a single sword behind his back. As soon as he arrived at the door, he flew off the horse and handed the mount to the Kan-shaped fist disciple at the head of the door, and then asked, "Is Lao Zhu at home?"
"The chief leader is in the room, and Chief Liu is going to pay his respects."
The man with a knife nodded, and strode to the front of the upper room door without knocking on it. He pushed the door straight in. Snowflakes had already floated outside, and there was a lot of snow on the head of the big man with a knife, but there was a heavy blue cotton curtain hanging in the room, and a huge copper brazier was lit in the room. The charcoal fire was burning strongly. As soon as someone entered the door, he felt the hot wind blew his face, and the hot and cold were stimulating. The man suddenly felt itchy in his throat and coughed loudly.
In the middle of the room, there was a thin old man in his sixties, with a goatee beard and his eyes were shining, without any sense of old age. He was wearing a fiery red arrow sleeve and a sword hanging at his waist.
His appearance is not amazing, but his behavior is quite chivalrous. You can tell at a glance that he has walked through the world and has real skills. In his position, he is the monk Xincheng who escaped from the death of Zaozhuang. The next position is Ding Jianming, who has recently become the master of Hengzitan.
If you go down one by one, you will be the teacher or senior brother of each stadium in the boxing. The owner of this house, Liu Guizong, has a low status, so he can only sit near the door head, but he has no right to speak.
The person in the middle was Zhao Laozhu, the chief leader who respected both Kan and Li. He not only had a strong martial arts skills, but also had a good character. He had a high reputation in the world. He was like a sacred incarnation among the boxers. When he saw the visitor coughing, he hurriedly said, "Brother Big Sword, sit down quickly, come, prepare a bowl of water for him and put it into pressure."
Without giving instructions, Liu Guizong got up and poured a bowl of hot tea for the visitor. The knife-carrying person was not polite. He raised his head and drank the water, and finally stopped coughing. He clasped his fists at Zhao Laozhu and said, "Old Zhu, this time I almost understood. Whether our tens of thousands of children can make a living in Shandong depends on this incident."
Monk Xincheng said, "The dog official Yuan Weiting destroyed so many halls and killed so many of our brothers. He is a complete erudite. I wish I could take his head and pay tribute to Brother Hong Deng to pay homage to the dead. Why talk to him? Didn't a great nobleman say that we should set up an altar in Beijing? It is better to bring all my brothers to the capital and Zhili. There are many foreigners here. I think the gentry and merchants from all over the country will definitely eat pots of slurry to reward the heavenly soldiers. Whether it is to teach arts or food or pay, it is very convenient."
Zhao Laozhu shook his head, "Monkey, you can only say half of the words. There are many foreigners in Zhili, and there are people in the court who are willing to help us. If you move to Zhili, it is a clever plan. But if we have to divide the situation, we have more than 100,000 people and were kicked out of Shandong, and our reputation is always not good. If you want to talk about the erotic son of Yuan Weiting, I want to abandon him. But whoever asked him to be the court minister. If you kill him, it is difficult to explain the government, and you cannot make a good friend embarrassed. I have not forgotten Hong Deng's grudge, and my friends who are sitting here will not forget him. One day, I will definitely pay his blood debts and blood. But this time, it is better not to kill him. We are coming to Zhili, and we must also enter Beijing, but Shandong is our foundation and we cannot lose it. This is like boxing, you can beat him and you must collect it. If you lose the foundation, it will always make everyone feel uneasy."
He looked at the man carrying the knife again, "Brother Deguang, you have suffered a lot this time, and this first achievement is yours."
The man with a knife was killed by two foreign priests in Juye, which eventually led to Prussia's troops sending troops and occupying the entire Jiaozhou area. Because he used a good knife, he could be separated from the capital's big sword king Wu.
In order to resist the etiquette, Liu Dadao is also known in the world.
He put down the tea bowl and clasped his fists again, "Old Zhu, I can't afford to say that. I, Liu Deguang, have a great grudge with foreigners and the government. This is what everyone knows. I have nothing to say about killing foreigners and fighting Ermaji, and I don't refuse to say anything. I can't help but say thank you or not. This time I found out that I was limited in my efforts, mainly because of Zhang Decheng, the second master of Zhang Decheng, from Tianjin. He has friends on the railway, and I have a very clear understanding of the situation of the train. When will the train be departing, when will it arrive, and how many soldiers are there, I remember it."
Zhao Laozhu laughed, "Brother Deguang, there is something in the military book. Knowing yourself and your enemy will never be defeated. We have a clear understanding of the situation of this train, so there is no reason why we can't catch it. As long as we catch Yuan Weiting's concubine in this train, we will not be afraid that he will not bow his head!"
Ding Jianming suffered the loss of driving a train, but he still had some concerns. Although he was young and the classmate was young, he still clasped his fists. "Uncle Master, Jianming always muttered a little. We took a train once last time and suffered a great loss. It was difficult for us to rush up to the iron guy. Even if we use a gun to bombard him, we may not be able to blow it away with one shot. This time we are going to capture Yuan's concubine, and we cannot use fire to attack. There are guards and horses on the car, which seems not easy to fight."
"Jianming, you are so careful. Why, after suffering one or two losses, you will lose your courage? This is not like my disciples and disciples of Senior Brother Jiang. A real man not only needs to win, but also lose. We are going around the world. Do we only win battles and not defeat wars in our lives? If we lose, we lose our courage. Then what are the men who stand tall? Although we lost last time, this time is different from that time. We took action in Zhili. No matter how long Yuan Weiting's hand is, he can't reach the territory of Zhili. We fight under his nose, but he has no choice but to be angry with him. The local garrison is also our brothers in the boxing world. We will never ruin our affairs at that time, and we will help us. This is the right place for the right place and we will occupy the time."
He pointed outside, "The wind and snow are getting heavier and heavier. In this kind of weather, the government army cannot bear the pain and go to bed early. We rushed up, but they were not prepared. I asked someone to prepare hundreds of sheepskin coats for our brothers to wear them and hide them on both sides of the railway line. They couldn't see it, and suddenly started to take action, not afraid of not being able to take the train. On this train, not only Yuan Weiting's woman, but also your enemy Zhao Guanhou's wife. If you catch her, I will make the decision and let you two become husband and wife, it will be considered avenge for Baodugu to take his wife."
Yuan Weiting was very anxious to suppress the fist in Shandong, and the Kanli punches could not withstand it. This time it was a way to burn the boat. They found out that Yuan Weiting obeyed Shen Jinying's will. As long as he captured Shen Jinying and threatened his life, he would not be afraid that he would not submit. As long as the divine fist could be spread in Shandong, it would be difficult for the court to attack him again.
For this plan, most of the remnants of boxers in various places were concentrated in Liujiatai and surrounding villages, with tens of thousands of subordinates. There were more than 8,000 strong men in the inner line, and there were no more than 100 guards in the special train, so they were invincible. Ding Jianming was stunned when he heard Su Hanzhi in the car.
He hadn't thought about this woman, but when he thought of his junior sister, and when he was fighting for a martial arts competition, he stopped talking about anything after several hatreds. Zhao Laozhu said to other leaders:
"Everyone must make it clear to the brothers that those women must be caught alive and not hurt their lives. No matter what, we are going to discuss business with Yuan Weiting. If the goods are injured, how can we talk about it? Let me tell you about it, our path in Beijing has been done."
As soon as this said, everyone was happy. Zhao Laozhu looked at Liu Deguang, "Brother Deguang, tell everyone, where did you come from this time?"
"I came from Duan Prince's Mansion. Prince Duan said that after the Chinese New Year, we will go to Beijing to set up an altar to preach the Dharma." When this level was mentioned, Liu Deguang was also excited.
"Prince Duan met me personally, chatted with me for a long time, and asked me to perform several magics. My magic is not as good as Lao Zhu, but even so, Duan also watched it with relish. He said that we would set up a jar in the Forbidden City to practice magic. He also wanted to destroy the foreign Russians in Beijing. He also gave us a name called the Flying Tiger Group, saying that tigers can swallow sheep, and tigers can sweep away the barbarians. He also asked someone to make a flag to support gold and destroy foreign countries. He estimated that it would be delivered in a few days. When we put this flag up, see which government office dares to touch us?"
When he heard that King Duan was willing to come out to endorse the letter and gave him a name on the flag, he obviously made his identity an official family member and could enter Beijing to kill foreigners. The leader was full of spirit. He all agreed, "That's right, but the Great Jin Kingdom has the most foreign Russians in Beijing. When he entered Beijing and killed all the foreigners and Er foreigners, our Great Jin Kingdom will be saved. The elders and fellow villagers will no longer be angry with foreigners."
Seeing everyone's high mood, Zhao Laozhu knew that these people had a complex composition, including those who had truly received foreign popularity, as well as those who were born in the grassroots and those who were arrested by the government. They were secondary to fighting foreigners, and they were more interested in robbing foreigners and the so-called second-foreign people.
I am so excited because I have this layer of tiger skin, I don’t have to be afraid of the government army anymore. It’s just that these people have martial arts or shooting skills, but they can’t live without them, so it’s not easy to expose them.
Fortunately, relying on his prestige and means is enough to shock these people, so that they dare not act too recklessly, and use their blood and courage to accomplish great things. After all, it is the emperor's feet, and the king's law is at his feet. The Taoist master's devils are eliminated, and the treacherous and treacherous people will first reduce their vigor. Moreover, King Duan held Wu Sheng's new team, and at that time he cooperated with him to eliminate the black sheep in the team one by one, so that he would not cause any disaster.
He knew that his magical power was just a fool's trick, but he could not boost morale and move forward without using the fool's trick.
He looked at the direction of the capital and thought to himself: I heard that there were a lot of foreign guns and cannons in the capital. When I entered Beijing, I asked King Duan for some guns and cannons, using my energy instead of skills, and rectifying the discipline. Why don’t these kids of boxers worry about not being a tiger or wolf? In short, I am going to take Yuan Weiting’s train now, and as long as I subdue him, my whole game of chess will be alive.
He was not confused and did not think that he could kill all foreigners by relying on the boxers. But there were not many foreigners left in the Jin Kingdom. When these evil foreigners were destroyed, foreign devils from all over the world would learn to be more lawless and dare not be as lawless as they are now. Moreover, everyone in the world is now hating foreigners for a long time. As long as he kills foreigners, he will be expected. This team will be driven by himself and let them kill anyone.
He showed a sneer on his lips. It seems that King Duan's knowledge is not much better than his, a rough man. Since ancient times, he can support him, and using the title of supporting gold to destroy foreign countries is not clear that the Jin Kingdom is actually in his own hands. I want to support him and think about it all depends on one thought. Why should a person surnamed Zhao support him? After destroying the foreigners, he will tell him to know whether he wants to support gold or to consume gold in this box.
He picked up the order flag in front of him and began to issue orders according to the plan. The leaders did not neglect and took orders one by one. Although the wind and snow were getting heavier, a ball of fire was burning in everyone's hearts. No matter how cold the wind was biting, the snowflakes could not shake the slightest. The red ocean surged towards the direction of the railway line. Soon the local garrison got the news and joined the Kanli two punches.
