Now that I know the ins and outs of the matter, cleaning up the hostile forces led by Chen Chaogui and Zhu Honglan is naturally my primary goal. But it is said that Dongchang, Linqing, Cangzhou, southern Hebei has become the climate, no village does not have an altar, no household does not practice boxing, boxing has gradually moved from the underground to the foreground, and the connivance and incompetence of the local officials have further fueled the arrogance of the boxer, and now the boxer in the north and south of Shandong and Hebei has gradually changed its name to the boxer, and has been promoted to the regimental training arm, which is the legal armed organization of the Qing Dynasty. When I returned to Jinan, I telegraphed to both the Counsellor and Alfred of my arrest at the Embassy in Beijing, and the British Legation took this very seriously, and sent a third secretary to accompany the families of the two priests killed in the case and a bishop of the Diocese of Peking to Jinan Mansion to verify the situation. Seeing the photographs of the scene I took (worn-out), as well as the witness of a captive and the relics of the priest, these were lined up in front of the British, and they were convinced that the Qing side had fulfilled the obligation to arrest the murderer and find out the truth, although it was a little doubtful that we dared to pursue the murderer with only ten people, and dared to ambush and strangle them in a grand manner, and the opponent was completely wiped out without a single casualty of their own miraculous record, but this is also harmless. Although we are armed with regimental training, after all, we are the generals under the governor of Yuan Shikai, and the British did not dwell on this matter after Yuan Shikai made a promise to rebuild the church, compensate for the bereavement and investigate the dismissal of the magistrate, and the Pingfei teaching case is considered to be closed.

More than a month later, already in the early summer, the insurance regiments of the four detachments had completed basic training, and half of the veterans ensured that the strength did not decline due to expansion. Finally, the situation of smoke everywhere in the land of Qilu gave Yuan Da Governor a headache, and in the direction of Denglai, in the mountainous area of Yizhou, and even in Wuding Mansion, there were violent anti-French activities of resisting donations and grabbing grain or Boxer and White Lotus Sect, and the new army was not enough to divide the tens of thousands of people, and after scattering more than 7,000 people, Yuan Shikai did not dare to move troops anymore, on the one hand, there were more than 3,000 cavalry left in Jinan Prefecture, and the strength was very empty, on the other hand, Shandong's finances that had just improved could not afford so many military operations. So Lao Yuan, under the mention of Brother Xu Shichang, remembered that there was an army in Jinan Mansion that he didn't care about, and it happened that this army and the boxers had a hatred tied to eighteen dead buttons, and the most important thing was that this army did not need his old Yuan to pay for the army, so when the government in Juye, Jiaxiang, and Zaozhuang reported that the displaced people caused by the spring drought had risen up under the leadership of the White Lotus Sect, and the number of people exceeded 10,000, Lao Yuan ordered the insurance regiment to operate across the region, as the military strength of the Shandong Governor Yamen to suppress the local peasant uprising, To stabilize the local situation, of course, military spending has also been discussed, that is, it has been promised that the Jinan Chamber of Commerce will be responsible for setting up industrial and mining enterprises in Caozhou, Yanzhou, and Zaozhuang, and will not approve the application for the establishment of other enterprises within two years.

The four detachments of the insurance regiment were all dispatched, and the 200 spare recruits of the construction team were handed over to the family, and handed over to He Dazhuang to continue to lead the recruit team until I found the right person to replace him. The artillery team also brought all of them, temporarily served the six Makqin heavy machine guns, and also requisitioned 400 people and more than 30 trailers from Changqing County to help transport the baggage, and it seemed necessary to set up a professional baggage team. The insurance regiment left without a big fanfare for the departure ceremony, but took advantage of the opportunity to change the guard to let the recruit team stationed in the old battalion, and the local detachment of Daguanyuan was also disbanded as scheduled and replenished into the factories and stores, and the rifles replaced by the old battalion were just replenished to the recruit team. The four detachments plus the artillery team have a total of nearly 600 people, which is enough for the establishment of a battalion, and with the big killing weapon of Makqin, it is a bit too big to deal with the peasant army of tens of thousands of people, but of course my goal is not only to exterminate the rebel army, if this trip to Caozhou and Yanzhou is down, the ground is not wet, it will be in vain. Before our army left, Brother Seven Xiaofu and Senior Brother Tian had already pulled up a Boxer of more than 3,000 people in Jiaxiang, their mission was not to eat big households with other rebels, they were mainly aimed at the local tyrant gentry, so in the Jiaxiang Yihe Fist of 3,000 people, Senior Brother Tian gathered a hundred and ten people with experience in the rivers and lakes to set up an elite team of magic lanterns, with the help of Seven Xiaofu, generally day and night, long-distance raids, and successively had a certain amount of force against more than a dozen families in Yanzhou, Zaozhuang, and Tai'an Mansion. The beheading operations were carried out against the very strong families in the local control, and the two mining areas of Zaozhuang and Yanzhou were also attacked and harassed, and the tickets were kidnapped, etc., which made the local gentry nervous. Of course, the official shares of Yixian Zhongxing Coal Mine Co., Ltd. are already in my hands, and when the local gentry panic, on the one hand, I can occupy the mining area first in the name of protecting official property, and on the other hand, I can also take the opportunity to take over the commercial shares at a low price and buy the land in the future mining area on a large scale. Lao Wu they formed the Jinan Chamber of Commerce acquisition group, a sprinkling of money, the jujube ore and Yankuang shallow mining area is almost all round, Laiwu iron ore has not been discovered, so the local mountains are still very cheap, handed over to Meng Boss to buy, although Meng Boss is very puzzled about my acquisition of barren mountains, but I know my gold finger to point stones into gold, so let the old army family come forward to buy nearly 10,000 acres of barren mountains, and later the Meng family transformed into a steel giant, its birthplace is this 10,000 acres of barren mountains in addition to stones is weeds. By the time the insurance regiment sent troops, the Yanzhou Mansion, Jining Prefecture, and Caozhou Prefecture were already panicked, and the big families fled or went into the city to take refuge, and the gentry with property also sold their properties cheaply and looked elsewhere. After half a month later, after our army swept away a group of mountain bandits who were not long-eyed, when the soldiers pointed to Jiaxiang Yutai, Tian Da Fool also got an order from Qixiaofu. So by virtue of the small friction between the two groups of people fighting for water in previous years, more than 4,000 people were instigated in the two altars of Yihequan Jiaxiang and Shanxian County, and more than 5,000 followers of the White Lotus Sect in the area of Liangshan in Juye carried out a fire, and the two sides fought on the plains of Chengwu and Juye for two days and one night, the White Lotus Sect suffered heavy casualties, a protector and two incense masters were buried here, the disciples were killed and wounded, and the White Lotus Sect had to withdraw from Caozhou, and the two altars of the Boxer Fist that won a tragic victory in the area of Juye and Liangshan also developed an organization, but the backbone was too damaged by them. There is no momentum for the uprising. Tian Da fool Gao Feng Liang handed over the rest of the altar to the altar master of Shanxian County, and took 800 backbones to cross the river north through Dongming and go to the development organization in the area of Guantaofei Township. Of course, the altar master of Shanxian County was happy for more than half a month, and when I exterminated the Yihequan around the mining area, the organization of the White Lotus Sect and some local tyrants, and mastered the situation of the entire Jining Yanzhou, I assigned Wu Luzhen's former detachment to attack Shanxian Chengguan, and overnight more than 30 big leaders of Shanxian County's Yihequan from the altar master were all wiped out by our army in their respective homes or on the bed of the concubine, and the next day after a traditional performance art performance at the gate of Shanxian County, In the afternoon, each archway of the archway of Shanxian County Street hung a bloody human head, and the vigorous and vigorous Boxer Rebellion in the northeast of Caozhou was silently closed, and the bloody lesson once again told those latent rebels that the amateur uprising method of gathering people to rebel during the day was like the Shanxian altar, and each went back to his own house at night and looked for his mother.

In the next two months, the task of suppressing the bandits was completed like a devastating one, not to mention the record, only one of us was seriously injured (my left hand was smashed and slimy and had to be amputated), and the others were just some skin injuries and the like. Considering that sometimes the corpses of the boxers will be collected by the locals or taken away by their accomplices, we have probably beheaded more than 2,000 people and captured more than 11,000 ordinary people. As a result, the hungry people sent by the government and their own door-to-door have reached more than 20,000 people, and these 30,000 people have been led by the Jinan Chamber of Commerce to the temporary resettlement site of Laiwu Mazhuang to concentrate on resettlement, by the way, for the next step of the infrastructure construction of Mazhuang iron mine as labor, leveling the land, building roadbed, digging ditches and ditches do not need too much technical content, with the tools and food provided by the Chamber of Commerce, the progress of the project is very smooth, and the standard machine tool factory is also working overtime to produce pumps, fans, electric mining trucks, percussion drills and other mining equipment.

But the cannon head of a Zhongxing mine actually embarrassed me, this guy is called He Laoba, he is a master of playing explosives in the mine, and almost all the blasters in the mine are his apprentices or brothers, we acquired Zhongxing Mine, they are still peaceful, but I heard that our insurance group exterminated the boxers, He Laoba thought that he could take the opportunity to help him destroy the enemy, so he also actively provided us with clues that the Chailizhuang family was in the surname Dahu Fish and Meat Township, and the bandits were evil, but our goal was the control of minerals and some key points, It's not to exterminate local bandits. So seeing that we had collected our troops, but did not touch the big household, He Laoba couldn't sit still, and finally gathered a team of more than 40 people one night, knocked out the two insurance regiment guards in the mine guardhouse, stole the guards' two Manlixia guns and more than 50 rounds of ammunition, and escaped from the mine overnight to seek revenge in Chaili. A guy who witnessed the whole process told the manager of the mine, I was in Qufu to appease the people in the house of Kong Laoer, Wu Luzhen on duty reported the situation to me with a gloomy face, I also scratched my head, when the war was concentrated, there was no feeling that the support should not be opened, now there are more places that need to be stationed, like the Zhongxing mine, there are three squads of less than 40 people stationed there, if you encounter a bandit attack, you can still rely on the miners to guard the mine, waiting for reinforcements, if something happens inside the mine, there is indeed a little less manpower. Now there are few squad leaders who can be the team leader for the first half of the year and stay in the original team, and most of them are transferred to train recruits and recruit personnel. There are still two months left before the Gengzi Rebellion, and now the capital is already in chaos, how can I not worry about the strength of the troops at this time. Don't worry about it for now, take the seven Xiaofu and Du Niang who returned to the team, let's go to Zhongxing Mine first, I didn't expect this time to send an artillery captain to me, hahaha, the blessing can't be stopped.
