"Smack" I slapped a newspaper on the dining table, so that the surrounding Shanghai Allahs squinted at these countrymen in their eyes, but at the table of me and Miao Boss and Du Niang, there were two tables of bodyguards dressed as warriors, and the waist was bulging with a guy obviously, so that the Allahs dared to be angry and dare not speak. I didn't have the heart to think too much, and handed the telegram that was slapped into two petals to Lao Miao, and Boss Miao frowned when he saw it, "Ridiculous, the official government of the Great Qing Kingdom is rotten to the roots, and three or five hundred mud legs dare to hit the provincial capital in broad daylight, is he Lao Yuan" Speaking of this, Boss Miao found that he was still on the morning tea stall, so he had to shut his mouth angrily. I had calmed down at this time, and ordered Du Niang to take two guards to leave immediately to return to Jinan on my behalf to deal with the aftermath. Lao Miao and I have to send Winston back to England this morning, and this old boy has been unable to sit still like a thorn in his ass since we agreed on the "Standard Montague Alliance", and if it weren't for the lack of a boat, he would have planned to leave yesterday in the evening. There are a few German businessmen in Shanghai to meet this afternoon, and tomorrow they will visit the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Chamber of Commerce and participate in the opening ceremony of Zhu Zhiyao's new machinery factory, I don't plan to change the itinerary, anyway, with Du Niang to Jinan, our micro long-wave radio can guarantee the requirement of three calls a day, so I am not worried about the situation getting out of control at all, but I didn't expect that our insurance group has not yet started, and the damn boxers actually plan to go to my head first, and the telegram said that Daguanyuan destroyed more than 70 shops, and more than 50 people were killed and injured in the Tuanding clerk, and the old camp was also attacked. Fake, since you dare to break ground on Tai Sui's head, don't blame Lao Tzu for being ruthless. Originally, he was a little soft on the peasant heroes of the Boxer Rebellion in the textbook, but now it seems that they are just a group of scoundrels who rob homes and houses under the guise of superstition, kill people and set fires, at most some of them are poor people who have nothing to eat to beg for, anyway, as long as they have a robbery experience, they will soon turn from cowering good citizens into bloodthirsty beasts. After a hurried breakfast, we returned to our guest room at the Shandong Hall. The original two-storey wooden building was overturned and converted into a four-story Western-style building of cement masonry, and a 100-room Western-style hotel was built in the shape of the Madil Hotel. I have a long private room on the third floor of the hotel, and the cloakroom is separated into a secret room, where the long-wave radio station is played, and the decoding microphone I carry with me can contact Du Niang, Du Niang adjusted the setting of the radio station, and hurriedly took two people to the sixteenth shop to take a boat, and two days later they can go to Qingdao, along the Jiaoji line, and after another day they can reach Jinan, Alfred is very gentlemanly with his own carriage to send Du Niang and them away. I also wrote a reply, and sent someone to the telegraph room of the Ministry of Industry Bureau to send it in Alfred's name, believing that with Meng Luochuan and Miao Xing Village, they will not let the Chamber of Commerce suffer much loss at home, as for the issue of retaliation, it is not too late for me to go back, and the current aftermath is nothing more than a matter of compensation and bereavement, in a word, as long as it is a problem that can be solved with money, it is not a problem now.

"Du arrived in Ji in three days, on behalf of my director, compensate for the favor, and ask Brother Meng Miao to deal with the aftermath. Brother Chenxuan: "Meng Luochuan handed the telegram to Lao Wu, Lao Wu was authorized before I left, and in the event of an accident, he had to listen to the instructions of the second brother Miao, so he also had no objection to the content of the telegram, and yesterday the factory was also mobilized, one hundred and ten workers with guns and two Napoleonic guns were dragged out, if the boxers dared to besiege the standard factory, then I am afraid that there would be no thousand and ten lives to fill it, and even the factory gate could not enter. The money raised by the factory and the flowing water sent by Daguanyuan totaled 20,000 taels of silver, and Meng Luochuan and Miao Xingcun also paid 10,000 taels of silver to pay the medical expenses of Tzu Chi Hospital to the Germans first. The deceased insurance group and the clerk each gave 100 taels of burned silver, and seven days later held a public memorial for the Chamber of Commerce, and then each family dealt with the aftermath, and the Chamber of Commerce had informed the family of the deceased that in addition to the buried silver, there was no less than twice the amount of bereavement silver, so the families of each family did not hesitate to take care of the aftermath.

As for the more than 300 corpses of boxers and bandits that were cleaned up in the old camp and the Grand View Garden, they all had their heads chopped off and filled the big pit of the mass grave post. In the north square of the Grand View Garden, there are more than 100 boxers and hooligans who have been caught alive and hooligans who have taken advantage of the fire to rob in a cage, and there are more than 20 electric light poles hanging from the east end of the square to the west end of the row. Under the flagpole there were piles of charred human heads, black and steaming human heads, red flesh, and flowing brown slime, which made several idlers paralyzed by fright. Liu Futai of Jinan Prefecture was also so frightened by the scene on the square that he almost urinated into the sedan chair, and the regiment members of the right detachment of the insurance regiment on duty next to him stood one by one next to the telephone pole, with bright bayonets and tall chests and bellies, without putting the heads in front of them in their eyes, knowing that most of the heads were chopped off by their own hands. Liu Futai got off the sedan chair with the support of the master, greeted everyone in the Chamber of Commerce one by one, entered the central tower of the Grand View Garden, and said a few polite words in the living room of the Chamber of Commerce. After noon, the arresters took over the one hundred and ten arrested bandits, and it is estimated that they will go to death row to eat a few meals of killing sticks, and then if there is no noble person to rescue, it will be the fate of beheading in public in a few days.

Chen Dadart fled back to his hometown alone, packed up his soft and absconded to his homeland without mentioning it. Speaking of the red lantern children's shoes, this benevolent brother saw the arrival of the horse team and the brigade insurance group, and immediately knew that nothing could be done, and he did not remind the other congregations, but took the children of his family and the cronies of Gao Tang Chiping into the south alley, and also ordered a few yards, through the chaos of the water, they successfully escaped from the southwest corner of the collapse of the polder wall, and the team of people and horses were still happily robbing and arson, and He Dazhuang, who was rushed, lined up in a horizontal column, and for a while the rats and wolves ran with guns, leaving a hundred and ten corpses, The rest fled, He Dazhuang let the brothers of the left detachment be busy fighting fires and saving people, and the four squads of the right detachment pursued the fugitives in small teams, and finally slipped back to more than 30 heads before it was over, and the government's arrest also rushed to get a piece of the pie, but the lone fugitives were not stupid, most of them went out from the gap in the polder wall, and the catchers caught 100 numbers, in fact, the real fugitives were only a dozen people, and other rogue homeless people or rural idlers who joined in the fun as long as they fell into the hands of the catcher and caught the wrong one.

As for Wu Jingmin, who was ambushed in Sili Mountain, with more than 50 fisters from Feicheng Altar, there were only four firearms in total, and when Zhang Xun's more than 300 cavalry passed by, he was so frightened that he didn't even dare to fart, and hid in the grass without raising his head. After the cavalry passed, they waited for a long time and didn't see the infantry, but they saw the fireworks rolling in the direction of the Grand View Garden. When it was dark, everyone felt that something was wrong, and Wu Jingmin had no idea, and when he saw a familiar brother fleeing from the city carrying something, he had the courage to jump out, and stopped to ask only to know that the brothers had not attacked the Daguan Garden at all, and now the officers and soldiers had already moved, and the brothers scattered and fled, as for Wu Fangcheng, he was shot in the head at the beginning. When Wu Jingmin heard what happened to his brother, he was furious, and planned to take people back to take revenge, but a few old boxers pulled and said that if they met the group of cavalry just now, more than 50 of us would be armed with guns and big blades, not to mention, two legs could not run on four legs, and if they couldn't take revenge, they would take a small life in vain. Wu Jingmin was just angry for a while, and when he was deflated, he knew that this was the case, he took more than 50 people to flee to the Lubei Plain at night, and after a few days and nights of running and finally arrived at Chiping and Zhu Honglan to meet, the two groups of people hugged their heads and cried, Wu Jingmin worshiped the boss and threw himself under the command of Zhu Honglight, but it is said that he died of colica in Gaotang in less than a month, and went to see his dead ghost brother, as for why it is so inch, it has to be said that the means of the Zhu Honglan brother are clever, Anyway, this fat city altar later became one of Brother Zhu's starting teams.

Yuan Shikai and Lord Yuan were in the signing room to meet Meng Luochuan and them, and the shopkeeper of Meng Da expressed his gratitude to the officers and soldiers for their help, and sent 3,000 taels of shoes and feet money. Yuan Shikai did not object, and Yang Shiqi naturally accepted the silver ticket. "I don't know how the casualties of the Jinan Chamber of Commerce are? The governor will definitely ask the imperial court to strictly exterminate such a bold and reckless boxer bandit, and will never sit idly by and watch the bandit spread. ”

"Thank you Yuan Du for his concern, the Jinan Chamber of Commerce is mainly the burned shops in Daguanyuan, but the Chamber of Commerce has a mutual aid mechanism, and it will be able to reopen soon, and the casualties will also be compensated by the Chamber of Commerce. This time I came here to be entrusted by President Wu Chenxuan to ask for the life of the insurance group of our Chamber of Commerce and send troops to help suppress it. ”

"Well, the militia has always had the duty of suppressing bandits and chasing them and appeasing the localities, and it is not good for this governor to snub the princes of the Chamber of Commerce. In this way, when President Wu of the Chamber of Commerce returns, when my Wuwei Right Army sends troops to suppress bandits, please send troops to help suppress them. Zhiquan is familiar with both ends, and Duan Zhiquan will be under the unified command at that time. ”

"Thank you, Lord Yuan. At that time, the Chamber of Commerce will definitely purchase more equipment for the insurance group, add grain and grass, and will not delay the major event of suppressing bandits. In addition, the Daguan Garden was burned down seriously, and there were many covetous people around the village, so the head of the Du detachment of the insurance group asked the Chamber of Commerce to strengthen the guard and assist the store to clean up and reopen. ”

"Well, in that case, allow the Chamber of Commerce to mobilize a detachment to temporarily stay in the Grand View Garden to assist in the aftermath, and then return to the original location after the Grand View Garden reopens."

"Thank you, Lord Yuan."

"Brother Meng doesn't need to be polite, Bendu and you have been friends for many years, and this time the Chamber of Commerce was attacked, Bendu was also shocked, and he also wanted to do more for the princes of the Chamber of Commerce. The princes of the Chamber of Commerce can continue to improve themselves, and the governor admires them very much, and it is also normal for people to transfer troops to temporarily garrison, and they have nothing to do. However, please restrain your subordinates and do not disturb the people and interfere in the government. ”

"Abide by Governor Yuan's teachings, Meng Mou must restrain the insurance group.
