Chapter Forty-Nine: Heaven and Earth Change in an Instant
87_87379The wind is very tight, Li Dacheng, who is rooted outside the city of Jinmen, naturally will not be stupid in the name of the Yellow River Boxing, what is the most in the territory of Jinmen today, the Boxers! And secondly? The bandits and the dart game, the Taichang dart game, is the name played by Li Dacheng on the dock, as for whether to catch the dart or not, it depends on the situation.
The dart bureau also needs to be filed in the government, but there are also a lot of private dart bureaus, and the team of fifty or sixty people with swords can be seen everywhere, and no one will care if they change their names.
"Brother, when has this been, do you still dare to stay outside the city?"
Look at the expression, Yu Peihe came in a hurry, and the confidence of the soldier Manlixia did not take it with him, looking at his sweaty appearance, he should have rushed over immediately after getting the news.
"What? Something is wrong? ”
"It's not going to happen!"
He killed someone in the warehouse, but the eyeliner on the dock said that the governor's yamen did not make a noise, but silently collected the corpse, and it should not be loose on the outside and tight on the inside, could it be that Yu Peihe wanted to blackmail himself?
Thinking of this, Li Dacheng's face also turned cold, exchanging information for silver, this is the rule between him and Yu Peihe, blackmailing himself, he Yu Peihe is a little greedy.
"Aren't there just forty or so people? As for it? ”
Although he was a little unhappy in his heart, Li Dacheng did not speak ill of him, but indirectly reminded Yu Peihe, this matter is not handled by the Governor Yamen, and you should be more restrained when you open your mouth.
"Hey! Our brother said that it was wrong, if it wasn't like that, those people would be killed if they were killed, and the governor Yamen would like you to kill more!
There's an accident over there in Laishui! Last time, Laishui killed the foreign mechanics and picked up the railroad tracks, which made the foreign devils dissatisfied, they urged the imperial court to send troops to suppress it several times, and in the first half of the month, there was a Gaoluo teaching case, and the imperial court ordered Lian Yong to take Yang Futong to come forward to suppress it, who would have thought that Laishui's Boxer Rebellion had hair on it, and gathered thousands of people to ambush Yang Futong in Shiting, and broke up Lian Yong.
This matter provoked the anger of the imperial court, Lafayette ordered to strictly deal with the Boxers in Laishui, and the foreign devils over there in Dagu were also very fierce, begging the court to send troops into Beijing, it is said that this matter has been negotiated, Lafayette intends to suppress the Boxers in the whole territory of Zhili, I heard that the military order of the imperial court has been issued to Nie Junmen and Dong Junmen, just waiting for the time to kill the Boxers.
Brother, during this time, the land route between Beijing and Tianjin is not very smooth, and the news from your side may come later, but there is already a telegram from the imperial court on the side of the Wuwei Army, and it is said that Li Zhongtang of Liangguang also specially explained that Nie Junmen should vigorously suppress the Boxers. ”
Saying this in one go, Yu Peihe was also a little dry, wiped his sweat and grabbed the teapot on the table, and poured half a teapot of water into his stomach, now the Boxers have become anti-thieves, he shouldn't have come this time, but thinking that he has reaped a lot of benefits on Li Dacheng's side in the past few days, and it is a little unkind to cross the river and tear down the bridge, so when he heard the brothers below say that Li Dacheng came to Jinmen again, he rushed over non-stop.
"Big dog, go and pack two hundred taels of silver!
Brother Peihe, don't worry about this matter, you are now the head of the Taichang Dart Bureau, and the imperial court must have evidence to fight the Boxers, right? Dart game, not so, right? ”
Yu Peihe's words just now, there are three key points, one is to kill the Boxers, the second is the army of foreign devils entering Beijing, and the third is the attitude of the old ladies in the capital, killing officials is equivalent to rebellion, and the Boxers in Laishui are outrageous, so the imperial court has to suppress it.
When the army of foreign devils entered Beijing, it should be to protect the embassy, not to start a war, and this matter cannot be regarded as the pressure of the imperial court; As for the attitude of the old lady, this old lady has always been fickle, and the nest of the Zai family is still in place! As long as the nest of the Zai family is still there, their purpose has not been achieved, as the family of the old ladies, their attitude towards the old ladies is very influential, with their nest, the Boxers have to continue to make trouble.
Although Yu Peihe's words made the grim shape clear, the pressure on Li Dacheng was not great, and he could judge the future trend of the situation through this.
"Brother, is it not now, but can it be later? Nie Junmen is looking at the meaning of Lord Zhongtang, Zhongtang said that he would vigorously suppress the Boxers, and Nie Junmen would not be vague on his side!
Wu Weijun did it, but I don't recognize whether we are from Jingshi, as long as we have made a fist, it is the Boxer, even if we kill the wrong person, with the support of Lord Zhongtang, Nie Junmen is not afraid of things! ”
Yu Peihe's words are good, the county officials are not as good as the current management, the imperial court's control of the army is not complete, and the holy decree may not be as good as Li Zhongtang's words, maybe the Wuwei army will use the topic to play this matter.
However, there is a saying that is called shooting the first bird with a gun, and his Yellow River boxing, in addition to being more famous in Cangzhou Mansion, has always been infamous on the ground of Jinmen.
"Brother Peihe, our Taichang Dart Bureau, although it is not the local Dart Bureau of Tianjin Wei, but the grain merchant invited the Dart Bureau to protect the silver, no matter how vicious this Wuwei Army is, it will not hit the grain merchants on the canal, right?"
Now that the sea route is blocked by the fleets of the great powers, more than half of the grain routes in Beijing and Tianjin have to rely on the canal in disrepair, and Li Chengyou now accounts for more than half of the grain on the canal, even if he knows that Li Chengyou is a Boxer, the imperial court will not be the first to suppress it, not to mention that they don't know it now.
"Alas...... I said, at this time, why didn't the price of grain in Tianjin Wei rise! It turned out to be the hands and feet of the brothers, and at other times, not to mention that the fleet was closed to the sea, even in the event of windy weather, the price of food in the city also 'swished' up, and the brothers did this high! ”
This layer of Li Dacheng is not broken, Yu Peihe really can't understand, he is just a big soldier, not so high level, he only knows that Li Dacheng's people come by boat every time, so it confirms the identity of Li Dacheng's son of Jingshi, not a person in the government, who will lower the price of grain at this time, and the food can be doubled in three or five days!
"Huh...... Brother Peihe, there must be people who are strapped for money among the brothers, so be it! I'll leave you here a boatload of high-quality rice from the south of the Yangtze River, there is a big brother, you open a note and let him come here to receive rice, three hundred stone rice, how can it be enough to eat for a while! ”
Yu Peihe can come to report at this time, it can be regarded as a kind and righteous, a boat of rice is only a thousand taels of silver, with this boat of rice, Yu Peihe's relationship network can be expanded again, to the silver is only afraid that Yu Peihe will be ignorant of himself, to give the rice to appear his own atmosphere, and the second to pass guò to lead the rice, Li Cheng can also get acquainted with the families of some officials here, presumably this boat of rice, Yu Peihe will not only be distributed to the brothers below, most of them still have to go to the relationship.
"Three hundred stones! That's 30,000 catties of rice! The first-class rice in Jiangnan can be sold for five taels of silver and one stone in the city! This mistress owes a lot! ”
The rice in the south of the Yangtze River may only be two taels of silver and one stone in the place of origin, and it will cost two and a half when it arrives on the canal, and it will cost at least one tael of freight to transport it, and five taels to the grain store below is not a high price, and three hundred stone rice is a thousand taels of silver for Li Chengyou, and in the hands of Yu Peihe, it is one thousand and a half!
This kind of favor is indeed a bit big, but the truth that people must ask for something under courtesy, Yu Peihe is clear, he runs more and asks for less, and this favor will also be there.
"What we do is grain trading, and the people under one or two boats of rice will have one province, and Brother Peihe can just open a strip, and it doesn't hurt to have more!"
At this time, the information is very critical, with one or two boats of rice, Yu Peihe's news will be widespread, one or two thousand taels of silver for peace, it is too cheap for Li Dacheng!
"Good! Leave this matter of Taichang Dart Bureau to my brother! The grain merchant is now the ancestor of the yamen, and the matter of filing will be completed early tomorrow morning! ”
Yu Peihe left, Li Dacheng didn't dare to rush into the city, there are many ways to run outside the city, and when he enters the city, he becomes a turtle and is easy to be caught, and there is still Cao Futian in the city! In case their whereabouts are known by Cao Futian, they will bring disaster to the Sun family in vain.
After meeting Li Cunyi today, Li Dacheng also has a new idea here, and invites a martial artist who can play with knives to teach some knife skills.
This matter has to trouble Peihe, with his guidance, a martial artist with the name of Jinmen Liu Dadao in the rivers and lakes was also invited to the warehouse by Li Dacheng for a hundred taels of silver.
Martial artists and boxers teach boxing, most of them teach routines, and most of them have reservations, but what Li Dacheng lacks now is routines and foundations, it is not enough to know the tricks, and there are no coherent tricks if you don't understand the routines.
Liu Dadao got a hundred taels of silver, and he taught him with all his heart, and in the next two days, Li Dacheng has been leading people to practice knives, neither going into the city nor going out, and staying at home to practice knives.
"Brother, it's not good, the Boxers occupy Zhuozhou! Fighting Zhuozhou is much more powerful than killing Yang Futong, the court is really angry this time, and the court ordered Nie Junmen to lead the Wuwei army stationed in the Lutai area to suppress it! ”
Gather a crowd to besiege the city, this is what Li Dacheng is left over, for this news, Li Dacheng is not surprised, bullet pressure? This Boxer Rebellion is all over Zhili, and the 10,000-strong armed guard army is overpowered? Without a regular army of 180,000, it is not easy to wipe out the Boxers!
"Brother Peihe, how many Boxers have gathered in Zhuozhou?"
Zhuozhou is the heart of the capital, the land can hit the capital in one day and night, Laishui, Zhuozhou Boxer Rebellion has some shallow eye sockets, south to Baoding, Cangzhou, the imperial court may not be so intense, but directly down to Zhuozhou, so how can the old ladies in the capital eat!
"Thirty thousand!"
"Not much, they will be defeated! Is there a letter on the foreign devil's side? ”
"Nope! I should still be negotiating with the Foreign Affairs Yamen! ”
"Brother Peihe, you have to be in charge of this matter, foreign devils are the key!"
With the occupation of Zhuozhou, the Boxers of Tianjin Wei also died down, the altar of Lu Zutang was no longer lively, and Lin Heier's red light also disappeared without a trace, as for the first regiment in the world where the cowhide blew loudly, it also lost its former glory, according to the news brought by the grain ship, the channel of the Duliu section was also a lot cleaner, so that the Duliu camp for other Boxers was also empty.
Listening to the news from all over the world, following the famous Liu Dadao of Jinmen to practice martial arts, Li Dacheng is not nervous at all, these days under the teaching of Liu Dadao, his knife skills have improved by leaps and bounds, and the ghost head dagger has been able to fly up and down in his hands, in fact, kung fu is this thing, the key is still a skill, it is not difficult to understand, I don't understand, and practicing for a lifetime is also a crop handle.
Of course, compared with Qian Laoba, Li Dacheng's rapid progress has also become a joke, this guy's brute force, but it is prepared for playing with a big knife, learning martial arts, Qian Laoba's tendon is the biggest advantage, a knife technique, he can show it after watching it three times, and he will not let Liu Dadao do much, of course, there is also the meaning of Liu Dadao's clumsiness.
After practicing the sword for a day, this day really changed, a train entered Beijing at night, the train was full of foreign devil soldiers, and the court also issued a strict order that night, prohibiting the Boxers.
The suppression of the Boxers on the Jinmen side began that night, but Li Dacheng was still not afraid, Cangzhou Mansion was not Zhuozhou or Jinmen, and no one knew how many Boxers there were near Beijing and Tianjin.
The people of the Boxers, wearing red clothes are Boxers, and if they are pickpocketed, they are ordinary people, and they are killed? How? If the killing is rough, the Boxers will turn their heads and get up, and if they kill carefully, there are hundreds of thousands, millions of Boxers, and they can't be killed, and they can't be punished.
Those officials and men who shouted for the slaughter of the Boxers only had the word earth-shaking in their hearts, didn't they know that there was also a word that the earth was turned upside down? The world has changed in an instant, this is the means of the old ladies in the Forbidden City, there is a nest of the Zai family, this God! It's June, and if you say change, you have to change!.
