Chapter 247: Crying America (2)

During the long debate in the Congress of the United States over whether to sign a humiliating treaty with the Huaxia Guild for land cession and reparations, a major event occurred in Boston, northeast of the United States, that shocked the entire United States.

The Boston area is a center of intellectual, technological, and political thought, and from a larger historical point of view, it is a more important place for the country than New York.

Boston was built on a peninsula connected to the mainland by a narrow isthmus and surrounded by the estuaries of Massachusetts Bay and Back Bay, the Charles River.

Boston is known as the "oldest city" in the United States, it can be said that there was a Boston before the United States, and the fuse of the American War of Independence, the "Boston Tea Party" incident occurred here.

Several of the country's major universities are located on the outskirts of Boston, and shortly after the establishment of Boston, the first public school in the United States, the Latin School of Boston (1635), and the first university in the United States, Harvard University (1636).

BOSTON IS A VERITABLE COLLEGE TOWN, WITH MORE THAN 100 UNIVERSITIES HERE, INCLUDING THE WORLD'S NUMBER ONE UNIVERSITY, INCLUDING THE MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY (MIT), TUFTS UNIVERSITY, BOSTON COLLEGE, BRANDEIS, BOSTON UNIVERSITY, NORTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY (NEU), MASSACHUSETTS UNIVERSITY? (UMass), Suffolk University, Massachusetts College of Pharmacy, Emerson College, Williams College, Amherst College, Man Holyoke College? (Mount Holyoke College, the first women's college in the United States, the "Seven Sisters" girls' school), Smith College ("Seven Sisters" girls' school), New England Conservatory of Music, Berklee College of Music.

At this time, there were more than 150,000 college students from all over the country in Boston's universities, all of whom were energetic and active elite young people.

After Hu Zhen conquered New York, he did not forget to send troops to deter Boston.

However, it was just that Boston was not an area where the large army of the Mi Army was stationed, and it was impossible for a large-scale decisive battle to break out, and the Huaxia Army only sent a regiment of more than 2,000 troops to the city of Boston, the main purpose was to deter, and even the field heavy artillery except for the regimental artillery mortars and infantry artillery was not equipped.

Because there was no decent armed force in the area except for a few hundred policemen, the Huaxia Army did not spend much effort to enter Boston.

After the Chinese Army was stationed in Boston. As is the usual practice, an infantry battalion and an artillery company of more than 600 men were immediately dispatched to occupy Mount Braid, which overlooked the whole of Boston, and two infantry battalions were stationed at the edge of downtown Boston. Take control of the Boston metropolitan area.

At first, the Huaxia Army saw that most of the people in Boston were polite and polite, not like they were going to make trouble, and felt that it was not a big deal, so these soldiers who came from half the world relaxed mentally.

Who knows, a big event happened at this time.

More than 100,000 enthusiastic patriotic young people in Boston. Not everyone is necessarily a strong-willed patriot, but under the leadership of some backbone elements, most people have long hated the Huaxia Army for entering the United States, but they did not take unified action at the beginning.

After the news came out that the Huaxia Army and the United States had put forward harsh conditions for negotiations, the patriotic and indignant youth backbone in Boston was boiling.

After a joint conference of the universities, the vast number of patriotic intellectual youth in the United States resolved to emulate the heroic actions of Paul Revere in the North American Revolution's midnight ride to warn and forever illuminate the path to freedom in America.

The main focus of the Chinese army was concentrated in the area of Philadelphia and New York, and little attention was paid to Boston. There are few people who know English, except for seeing others taking up arms to fight themselves, and they are not very clear about the United States people in Boston holding a meeting against themselves, and they didn't find out until the United States people were about to do it.

At 11 o'clock in the evening of November 15, 1889, the moonlight was hazy and shone on the snow-covered land of Boston, and the 140,000 young people of Boston (including more than 10,000 girls) quietly rushed to the position of the Chinese army with single-shot rifles, muskets, revolvers, bows and arrows, spears, sabers, javelins and other weapons that they had found.

The team of more than 100,000 people, almost all of whom are professionals with no military training, can they not make a movement to alarm others if they want to carry out a night attack?

Although the Huaxia Army in Boston was not very tightly defended, it was the first time that so many people made such a big move.

The sentry sounded the alarm bell. All fighters immediately moved into defensive positions under the command of officers of all ranks.

The regimental commander in charge of the command of the Huaxia Army was named Xia Jining, and he ordered a soldier holding a loudspeaker to shout loudly in English to the hundreds of thousands of hot-blooded young people in the United States: "This is the defense area of the Huaxia Army, you can't get close, get closer." We're going to shoot! ”

Who knows, the shouting of the soldiers also aroused the blood of more than 100,000 young people in the rice country, who jumped up and shouted slogans, and frantically rushed to the position of the Huaxia Army:

"Freedom, we want to be free......"

"Long live the great America......

"Without freedom, we would rather die ......"

"Yellow-skinned monkeys get out of our land!"

Xia Jining is a native of Nanyang Chinese. He heard more than 100,000 people rushing over with the tragic singing of the national anthem of "The Star-Spangled Banner Never Falls", and couldn't help but shake his head: "Tsk, these Mi people are really crazy, and there are many young women among them!" What's wrong, it's really unlucky, today Lao Tzu doesn't want to kill, but he has to kill! ”

After all, the crowd was a rabble, and before they could get into range, many people began to fire, causing those with guns and guns in their hands to fire non-stop.

These people who have not undergone military training think that as long as they know how to pull the trigger, they will be able to use weapons, and they will be able to use weapons to fight.

As a result, when many people opened fire, the recoil of the rifle or fire gun pushed many people to the ground, causing great confusion in the ranks in the dense charge.

As a result, under the dense bullets flying indiscriminately, the rice people not only did not hit a single soldier of the Chinese Army, but overturned many of their own people in the charge.

Xia Jining laughed when he saw this, and comforted some soldiers who were worried when they saw too many Mi people rushing over: "Haha, you see, with these Mi people's skills, what's the use of more people!" ”

However, after all, there were more than 100,000 people rushing towards the Huaxia Army, and the mere 30 or 50 people who fell and were wounded were nothing at all, and most of them, inspired by the lofty patriotic spirit and the leadership of others, rushed to the position of the Huaxia Army without fear.
