After everyone sat down in the room, Pang Wanquan said: "Brother Li, the city of Beijing was broken that day, and we haven't seen you since then, and I didn't see you when I asked other brothers, and I thought you were gone, but I didn't expect you to be alive." Bayi Chinese?net? ? ≠＝≥．≠８≈１≤Ｚ≈≤．≠ＣＯＭ”

、

Li Zhuangyong smiled bitterly and said: "Yes, we were scattered by foreign ghosts that day, and I retreated to the southeast with dozens of brothers. ”

At this time, Liu Fuyong suddenly said: "Brother Li, what's the matter with your clothes and hats, this looks like the clothes of the People's Army." ”

It turned out that Li Zhuangyong came out of the barracks, still wearing the military uniform and military hat of the People's Army, and he was used to coming in the past few months, and when he saw Liu Fuyong asking, he nodded and said: "Yes, when we were in Shandong, we met the People's Army, and we were also desperate at that time, and we saw that the People's Army was fighting foreign devils, so we all joined the People's Army." ”

When Liu Fuyong heard this, he couldn't help but look excited, and said: "Brother Li, are you here to tell me how the People's Army is, the day before yesterday, the People's Army set up two tables outside the city, saying that they were going to recruit soldiers, and the brothers were discussing whether to join the People's Army? ”

Li Zhuangyong was stunned for a moment and said, "Are you going to join the People's Army?"

Pang Wanquan said: "Some brothers think so, but everyone is just discussing it, and they haven't decided yet? Because we don't know what the People's Army is like?"

Liu Fuyong said: "Isn't Brother Li in the People's Army? Moreover, the People's Army did kill foreign ghosts, I heard that when they broke through the city of Beijing, they killed thousands of foreign ghosts, and the blood in the palace could be rowed." So follow them to kill foreign devils, and you will definitely be able to kill them happily. When we entered Beijing just now, we saw the People's Army escorting a team of foreign ghosts and ghosts, digging ditches and mud?"

He has been in the People's Army for almost four months, although he has a lot of dissatisfaction with the People's Army, but he also has to admit that the People's Army's ability in all aspects is far above the Boxers, and it is a hundred times stronger than the Qing Army, and the biggest difference with the army that Li Zhuangyong knows is that the People's Army has indeed achieved the integration of officers and soldiers, and officers basically do not put on an official stand in front of soldiers, and military discipline and military regulations treat all officers and soldiers equally, so Li Zhuangyong does not want to speak ill of the People's Army。

When everyone saw Li Zhuangyong's face change, they also knew that things were not as simple as they thought, so they were all waiting for Li Zhuangyong to speak. After a long while, Li Zhuangyong said: "Brother Liu is not wrong, the People's Army is indeed fighting foreign devils, and I will not hide it from my brothers, I participated in the battle to attack Beijing in the People's Army, and I personally killed more than a dozen foreign devils." ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but admire, although the Boxers advocated anti-foreign xenophobia, but there were not many foreigners who really killed, but on the contrary, they killed a lot of the so-called Ermaozi and Sanmaozi, the so-called Ermaozi refers to Chinese who are directly related to foreigners, such as Chinese religious people, students of foreigner schools, or working in foreigner trading houses. Servants and so on, and Sanmaoxiao is a Chinese who has dealings with foreigners, so if he really kills a foreigner in the Boxer, he will be regarded as a hero by the Boxer, and Li Zhuangyong claims to have killed more than a dozen foreign devils, which is a great thing in the Boxer.

Liu Fu said hurriedly: "Isn't that good? I also want to kill a few foreign devils." ”

Li Zhuangyong shook his head and said, "Everyone, listen to me finish speaking, although overseas Chinese have beaten foreigners, they are not all the way with us, and they and foreigners are not incompatible. ”

Liu Fuyong was stunned for a moment and said: "What's going on, since it's a fight against foreigners, why is it not incompatible with foreigners?"

Li Zhuangyong sorted out his thoughts for a while before he said: "Although overseas Chinese have beaten foreigners, they don't kill all foreigners, they only kill foreigners' soldiers, and foreigners who oppose them, and ordinary foreigners, such as foreign merchants and missionaries, will not kill, even foreign soldiers who surrender to them, and under their rule, if they kill foreigners indiscriminately, or take foreigners' things, they will be punished." As far as I know, overseas Chinese also plan to do business with foreigners. ”

Hearing Li Zhuangyong say this, Guan Yingshan immediately became violent and said: "So overseas Chinese are either two cents or three cents, and they are not good things." Whatever is said about reviving China is a lie. ”

Qi Biao also said: "I just said, didn't the overseas Chinese themselves say, they used to live overseas, so don't they live with foreigners? ”

It turns out that the Boxers are extremely anti-foreign xenophobia, for the Boxers, all foreigners should die, all foreigners-related affairs, even things that stick to the foreign such as foreign fire, foreign oil, foreign cloth, foreign pens should be excluded, in the ** period of the Boxer Rebellion, many Chinese were killed because they carried foreign goods. Therefore, Li Zhuangyong's remark naturally aroused Guan Yingshan and Qi Biao's dissatisfaction with overseas Chinese.

Liu Fuyong was still a little puzzled, and said: "If overseas Chinese are all the way to foreign devils, why do they want to fight with foreigners? They kill foreigners on the battlefield, it's not fake." ”

Li Zhuangyong listened to it, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, in fact, this is also what he has not been able to understand, he has been in the People's Army for 4 months, and it is natural to see that overseas Chinese and foreigners are by no means all the way, and they are indeed against foreigners, but why do they want to protect foreigners and do business with foreigners. In fact, the strict military discipline of the People's Army Li Zhuang is brave enough to be patient, but this attitude towards foreigners is unbearable.

After thinking for a while, Li Zhuangyong said: "I don't know what the overseas Chinese think, but not to mention anything else, that is, in this Beijing city, after the overseas Chinese occupied Beijing, they kept the foreign missionaries and the foreign legations without killing or imprisoning them, which is always a fact." ”

After listening to Li Zhuangyong's words, Liu Fuyong was speechless, although he did not go to see the situation of the church and the legation, but he had always heard some news, and knew that what Li Zhuangyong said was not wrong, no matter what the reason for the overseas Chinese, it was contrary to the principles of the Boxers.

At this time, Li Zhuangyong said: "I joined the People's Army, initially to kill foreigners, and then now overseas Chinese and we are not all the way, they have indeed fought a few battles with foreigners, and beat foreigners to the ground, so I also want to learn, to see what overseas Chinese can do, in the future, we will also learn to fight foreigners, to avenge the brothers." ”

This sentence immediately aroused everyone's interest, and it also diverted the topic, Qi Biao immediately asked: "Yes, Brother Li, what is the way for this overseas Chinese to beat the foreigners to the ground." ”

Li Zhuangyong said: "It's very simple to say, foreigners rely on the sharpness of foreign guns, and to deal with foreigners, you can only use the same foreign guns as them." ”

Guan Yingshan was anxious when he heard this, jumped up suddenly, and said: "Everything that is a foreigner is not a good thing, how can we use a foreign gun?"

Li Zhuangyong asked him to sit down first, and then said: "It's not bad for us to kill foreigners, Ermaozi, and Sanmaozi, but everything that is a foreigner is not a good thing, which is not right, in fact, foreigners also use our things, why can't we use foreigners' things, good things, We should use useful things, and we have seen the power of foreign guns, there is that Tangkou's magic can be blocked, and overseas Chinese can beat foreigners to the ground, because their armies all use foreign guns, so we must continue to work with foreigners, and only use foreign guns, and this foreign gun is actually our first in China, in the Ming Dynasty, we have it, called the bird gun, so we use foreign guns are actually using our old Zongzong's things. ”

In fact, at this point, everyone knows that the miracles of the Boxers are all deceptive things, these people are all hiding from the rain of bullets, knowing what invulnerability, they can't stop the musket shooting of foreigners at all, but no one can say it first, until Li Zhuangyong has been in the People's Army for a few months, but he has less scruples and has become the child who said that the emperor has no clothes.

Li Zhuangyong said again: "How many of you still live there, and how many other senior brothers are there?"

Pang Wanquan said: "Now we still have more than 3o people, as well as Senior Brother Wang and Senior Brother Zhou, and the other senior brothers are dead, and we are now hiding in Xiaoguanbei Village outside Beijing." After a pause, he said: "I heard that now Zhao Sange is in Dongzhao Village, Guangzong County, Shunde (now Xingtai City), and Jing Tingbin, the eleventh generation descendant of Plum Blossom Boxing, is recruiting the old people of the Boxers, and it is said that he has recruited hundreds of people and is ready to do it again, and some brothers advocate going to Zhao Sange. ”

Li Zhuangyong knew that Zhao Sange, who Pang Wanquan said, was Zhao Sanduo, one of the earliest leaders of the Boxers, and he was also the successor of Plum Blossom Boxing, but Zhao Sanduo has always been active in Shandong, although he was later transferred to Hebei, but he was not active in Beijing, but he was quite well-known in the Boxers, and he also had a certain number of tricks.

So Li Zhuangyong nodded and said, "It's okay, I still have more than a dozen brothers here, and we also have 4 or 5o people together, everyone still hides in Xiaoguanbei Village for a few more days, and then we will go to Zhao Sange together." ”

Pang Wanquan said: "Brother Li, when do you plan to leave the People's Army?"

Li Zhuangyong said: "The troops are going to start this afternoon, this time to fight the Russian devils, I think when this battle is over, I will find a way to get out of the people's army, in addition, I also want to get some foreign guns in the people's army, when the time comes, we will also pull up a team, and there are foreign guns, so that after we arrive in Hebei, we will not be underestimated by others." ”
