"Commander, I'm sorry, I was negligent!" Xu Lie returned to the headquarters to hold an emergency meeting, and Wang Qinian, the director of intelligence, took the lead in making a review. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"I'm also responsible for this." Xu Lie didn't blame his subordinates first, "What else are these boxers?" ”

"In recent days, we have activated some hidden piles, and found that there are many unknown people in tandem at the entrances of each altar, and some of them have obvious thoughts of attacking the area under my control."

"First, immediately strengthen intelligence collection and find out as soon as possible who is fanning the flames! Second, immediately dispatch combat troops to the border towns and towns in the area under our control, and at the same time order the militias of all villages to strengthen their vigilance, and report any changes in the boxers at any time! ”

When Xu Lie said these words, he was completely murderous.

"Commander, if the boxers attack the area under my control, do we really want to fight back?" Chief of Staff Yuan Yong asked weakly.

Why did Yuan Yong ask weakly? As the former Mengyin Zhixian County, he also knows the situation of the boxers. In a village, most of the young people have participated in the boxing organization, and several villages or a town, there will be an altar (factory, regiment) mouth, divided into senior brothers, two senior brothers, etc. to manage the boxers, each altar of boxers, less than hundreds, more than thousands, between the boxing world, there are connections, such as the foreigners are powerful, and the left near the altar mouth together to attack the foreigners.

It can be said that this organizational form of the Boxers will not lose to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in the early years, if it is the ordinary green battalion soldiers of the Qing army or the Eight Banners soldiers in the past, they are really not the opponents of these boxers. However, such a paramilitary organization in ancient times was immediately exposed in its original form when it encountered a modern army such as the Eight-Nation Alliance.

Yuan Yong naturally knew the strength of the Mengshan Army, but the Mengshan Army had never fought with the boxers, and it was reasonable for Yuan Yong to be a little worried. Perhaps more importantly, although Yuan Yong knew that he was powerful, he also felt that the boxers were not strong, after all, those guys might not even dare to provoke the green camp.

"Of course! Do you remember what I said when we exterminated Chen Harrier and his gang of bandits? Xu Lie asked rhetorically.

"I see, what the commander means is that whoever dares to stretch out his hand to the people, he will cut off his hand!" Chief of Staff Du Ning said.

"However, the boxers seem to be ordinary people." Yuan Yong said.

"Hehe, Chief of Staff, don't worry. If you want to talk about the origin of the boxers, they are indeed ordinary people, but when they are bewitched by the so-called teachings of the boxers, they pick up knives and sticks and indiscriminately commit violence against others, they are no longer ordinary people, but have become demons! Everyone needs to remember this, the Mengshan army must always stand on the side of the people, but the Mengshan army should not stand on the side of ignorance! Therefore, I order: This battle against the boxers will be commanded by Chief of Staff Yuan Yong! ”

"Yes!" The crowd stood up in obedience.

Xu Lie is reusing Yuan Yong.

After Yuan Yong became the chief of staff, he managed the Mengshan Army up and down quite smoothly and orderly, and the battalion commander was also very convinced of Yuan Yong. However, as the chief of staff of the army, his prestige depends on his true ability in the final analysis, and he has to talk about his military exploits, and Yuan Yong seems to lack military exploits.

Therefore, Xu Lie was not only reused before, but also fulfilled.

And Xu Lie's order was just a temporary decision. The reason why Xu Lie made this decision temporarily was that Yuan Yong asked two sentences, one was that he really wanted to do something to the former people, and the other was that the boxers seemed to be ordinary people. Xu Lie understood these two sentences, what he was really worried about was not the weakness of the Mengshan Army or the strength of the boxers, but that he felt that these boxers still belonged to the common people, and it would not be good to start a war and kill like this, because this seems to be quite different from the consistent approach of the Mengshan Army.

Yuan Yong's idea made Xu Lie agree very much. A person, no matter what position he is in, as long as he still has the people in his ideology and can still treat the people as a person, then even if this person still has a conscience, no matter how bad it is, it will not be much worse. And this kind of person with a "people-oriented" consciousness is very rare in Xu Lie's team.

"Wang Qinian!"

"Here!"

"Your people, cooperate with this operation, and if possible, snipe as many of its leaders as possible!" As long as Xu Lie noticed the phenomenon of Yihequan, he would naturally not make any more mistakes.

Boxer, its origin is related to the White Lotus Sect, and this White Lotus Sect, which seems to have been making waves in the Dragon Kingdom for thousands of years, has always been the source of turmoil in the Dragon Kingdom, a religion that wants to override secular power, a religion that wants to be a great treasure, is it suitable for the soil of the Dragon Kingdom?

And the leadership class in the Boxer, that is, those senior brothers and second senior brothers, are nominally anti-foreign, anti-Qing and anti-what, but in their bones they are just bullying good people for the sake of fame, they are anti-foreign, and they can't even see the essence of foreigners clearly. Whether they oppose the Qing Dynasty or support the Qing Dynasty, what the Qing court is, they also know what it is, but it is such a blind + stupid organization, but it is recognized by the mainstream consciousness of the original time and space as an advanced revolutionary organization.

There's nothing wrong with fame and profit. Even Xu Lie himself didn't dare to put himself on the selfless moral hall for barbecue. But in a rule-based society, the premise of not harming the interests of others is to make a name for profit, such as Microsoft's Gaishi, who obtains benefits and fame by achieving his career.

In other words, it is okay to be profitable for the sake of fame, but only if you talk about the rules.

In this sense, which organization or institution in this era is about rules? Perhaps, the Mengshan Army talks about rules, but the rules of the Mengshan Army are still formulated by themselves and have not risen to the general rules of society.

To dismantle the Boxers, one method is to be like the Eight-Nation Alliance, which will strike and suppress it in an all-round way; Another method is to snipe the leaders of each altar as Xu Lie thinks, as long as these senior brother-level characters are sniped, causing their group of dragons to be leaderless, their altars will naturally dissolve.

"Yes!" Wang Qinian replied excitedly. Xu Lie's order is tantamount to granting him the right to kill!

Wang Qinian, who has been lurking in the calf village for more than ten years, is almost a character who eats and waits for death, but he didn't expect Xu Lie to dig him out, grant him power, and let him rejuvenate the second spring.

It's just that since the establishment of the Intelligence Department, although Wang Qinian has also made a lot of contributions, he has also known that those so-called credits can be made by anyone else, because the things that Xu Lie emphasized are not too difficult, and even as a military intelligence department, those credits are not even touched by the word "military", so what is there to be proud of.

And Xu Lie's order to snipe the leader of the Boxers at this time was a real test for the Intelligence Department. The so-called raising soldiers for a thousand days and using them for a while refers to this situation.
