250 The first altar under heaven

"Flat Bridge!" Extremely simple answer. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoSo many people were wondering what would happen to Pingqiao, and they inquired in every possible way, and finally got such a news, which was to see the "first altar in the world" altar advocate Decheng.

As a result, the name Zhang Decheng spread among the general public.

"Have you ever heard of 'the first altar in the world'?"

"The owner of the 'first altar in the world' is Zhang Decheng!"

"Zhang Decheng is a powerful character, I heard that he was sent by the Jade Emperor."

Zhang Decheng was more and more strange, saying that with a finger, he could wind and sand with a finger, and with a mouth, he could rain heavily from the sky, and as soon as he recited a mantra, Sun Wukong and Nezha would appear.

Many people can't resist the temptation of this magical legend, and they have also gone to Pingqiao Village, for a while, the road to Pingqiao Village is crowded with people, people are jammed in the road, they all have a purpose, want to see the god Zhang Decheng.

Zhang Decheng saw that the senior brothers came at the appointment, and asked Luo Ruisheng to treat him well, and then he convened the senior brothers to discuss how to destroy Ermaozi.

"Senior brothers, you must pay attention to this: all of us came to Yizhou this time, and killing Ermaozi is only secondary, the main thing is to establish the power of the Boxer God Fist and preach for our ancestors.

At the same time, it also showed the government to let them know that the Boxers were not easy to mess with, that the Boxers were capable, and that the people would believe that we were not jealous and that we were a team with certain special features.

In short, everyone must understand that whether or not the Boxer of Righteousness can succeed depends on our actions tonight. ”

These words are very reasonable, and the senior brothers can't help but nod their heads, and they can't help but admire the altar master of the "No. 1 Altar in the World" with a resolute face.

"We follow Master Zhang's arrangement." "Master" is the title given to the supreme leader of the Boxers.

Zhang Decheng saw that everyone was very sincere, so he said unyieldingly:

"There are a total of 34 Ermaozi in this area, and they have cut the grass and eradicated the roots, and not one is left. I have found out what Mass they are going to do in the church this afternoon, and this has saved me a lot of trouble, so I will ask you to do it for you.

However, you have to choose a strong group member to go, hang your children, be careless, and don't take anything with you who are used to being lazy. ”

"Good!" Someone said, "Please Master Zhang give me the order, and we will take care of the brothers." ”

"Then Shen Shi will do it, and you will kill it and bury it when you are young."

"Do you still need to bury it?" Questions were raised.

"Not bad! In Ermaozi's house, every house has a well, which is a ready-made place to bury people. However, there is one thing that I want you to take care of the brothers, to be clean and neat, to cut off your chest, not to break your head, to remove your shoulders, and to clean up the trouble. ”

Although the senior brothers below didn't understand why this was the case, they still listened to Zhang Decheng's opinion.

"In addition, after the killing, we must all take back the property that Ermaozi had taken from the people, distribute it among the brothers, and then burn down Ermaozi's house and church. Brothers, it's all up to you. ”

After all, killing people and setting fires was a bit excessive, and some senior brothers expressed their worries, so they said to Zhang Decheng: "What if the officers and soldiers come?" ”

"Senior brothers, you don't have to worry about this, the officers and soldiers may not dare to come, even if they come, everything will be arranged by me, you can just let go and do your business."

Some people were skeptical, but when they saw Zhang Decheng's serious face, they went with confidence.

The Boxers, led by the elder brothers, stormed the church and surrounded the parishioners who were doing Mass. These people never dreamed that they would go to the west so soon.

Originally, they usually sent people on the city tower, but because of today's mass, everyone went to the church together, and they relaxed their vigilance.

As a result of the orders they had received in advance, the Boxers quickly killed all the Catholics who were celebrating Mass in the church, and then went to the homes of the Christians to kill all the old and weak women and children. From time to time, a mournful shout pierced the sky, but soon fell silent.

The body was thrown into the well, then shoveled dirt to cover it up, and when everything was done, everyone began to look for Ermaozi's belongings, silver, foreign guns, cigarettes, and alcohol. I took it away, and in the end I felt that there was nothing worth taking anymore, so I set fire to the house.

It happened that there was a wind on this day, and the people saw that the wind was burning from south to north, and because the houses of the parishioners occupied a certain area, they naturally quickly burned into a sea of fire. However, because the fire borrowed the wind, the fire inevitably burned bigger and bigger, so that half of the sky was red, and the fire could also be seen in the county.

The next day, there was news that something like this had happened in the neighbouring counties the previous night, with churches burned and parishioners killed.

The imperial court soon got the news that the Boxers had killed Yang Futong, the commander who had gone to quell the rebellion, in Yizhou. The reaction to this incident was mixed among the ministers of the DPRK and China, and some believed that it was purely against the imperial court and that the Boxers should be encircled and suppressed.

If we still condone the Boxers and set a precedent for now, there will be many things that will be difficult for the DPRK and China to do in the future.

One faction advocated appeasing the Boxers and dealing with Yang Fu's same matter as calmly as possible. The latter faction, especially the scholar Gangyi, looked at the excerpt on Yulu and said, "Yang Futong should not hurt the righteous first."

For this matter, the Empress Dowager Cixi didn't know how to deal with this matter, so she discussed it with Li Lianying.

"Little Lizi, what do you think of this?"

Li Lianying had been thinking about this question for a long time, and he could guess that Lafayette would ask him, so he thought about this question for a long time. This is a question of whether to suppress or appease the Boxers.

If Yang Futong is rewarded, the Boxers will inevitably be encircled and suppressed, and if Yang Futong's death is ignored, it will be tantamount to advocating appeasement of the Boxers, and the handling of this matter is a problem that shows Lafayette's attitude towards the Boxers.

So what did Lafayette do with the Boxers? Li Lianying asked more than a thousand times in her heart.

Duanwang blew in front of her, she didn't move, Gang Ziliang praised how the Boxers were martial in front of her, she was noncommittal. And what about the ministers of the DPRK and China?

Rong Lu was uncertain and was waiting. Li Lianying speculated from this that the Boxers still had a certain status in the minds of Lafayette and Rong Lu. Moreover, Li Lianying wants to get Lafayette's hatred for foreigners.

The Empress Dowager Cixi had a special hatred for foreigners.

Her return to politics was interfered by foreigners, Emperor Guangxu changed the law, and foreigners supported her, and after the failure of Emperor Guangxu's reform, foreigners came out to protect the emperor and prevented the Empress Dowager Cixi from setting up a new emperor, which made the Empress Dowager Cixi angry.

Because she has been in charge of China for thirty or forty years, she has never wanted others to interfere, let alone foreigners. At the same time, the Empress Dowager Cixi did not have a good opinion of foreigners, which she had told Li Lianying more than once. (To be continued.) )
