Shandong in 1899 was a chaotic situation. The Boxer was organized and reformed by Zhao Sanduo a year ago, officially abandoning the idea of "opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty" and emphasizing "supporting the Qing Dynasty and destroying the foreigners". However, they were quickly defeated, but then Zhao Sanduo turned to Yihequan elsewhere for help. Eventually, the Boxer Rebellion was founded. In Shandong, he attacked many churches and captured many Western-style schools. When the foreigners in the church die, they die. Hu Xiaoyan didn't care. However, many students in the foreign school were also slaughtered by the Boxers because they were unwilling to compromise because of Western-style education, which made Hu Xiaoyan very disgusted. Not only that, in order to raise funds, they also attacked the estates of several rich landlords in the name of colluding with foreigners, and killed them.

At this time, although Zhao Sanduo and the others intended to stop it, the situation was no longer beyond their control. Once the evil side of man is exposed, the greedy desires that erupt are unstoppable.

The U.S.-led open-door policy has officially been echoed by Western countries in this context. They all wanted to bite off a piece of meat on the Manchu Qing's body. The Boxer Rebellion was merely a pretext for such a policy. Without the Boxers, the United States would have looked for other excuses.

Britain is a tiger, known as an empire on which the sun never sets, but it is an old and frail tiger. And the United States is a hungry wolf that has just come of age. The United States is the biggest enemy in Hu Xiaoyan's mind! Originally, Hu Xiaoyan also wanted to go to the United States, looking for an opportunity to encourage the United States to confront the north and the south again, or contact Mexico and other countries to cause chaos in the United States, but the Boxer Rebellion completely broke out in Shandong to the point of unstoppability, and even Tang Shaoyi, a person who knew a little about the situation of the army, thought that the situation was bad, so that Hu Xiaoyan had to terminate the plan and return to Anhui to prepare for war.

Today, the Yamen of the General Department of Anhui Mining is still trusted in Enming. Although Enming knew that Hu Xiaoyan's expansion exceeded the establishment, he turned a blind eye to the light industry base near Anqing because Hu Xiaoyan sprinkled more than one million taels of silver in full swing. His backstage bosses have encroached on more than 10,000 acres of land in Anhui.

Including Hu Xiaoyan and Li Hongzhang, the encroachment on peasant land has exceeded 20,000 mu. It's not that they don't want to encroach on it anymore, it's that these peasants on the land don't make good arrangements. A peasant uprising was inevitable. Although the Manchu remnants love money, Enming knows that he can't overdo it, otherwise he won't be able to resist it once he mutinies.

The agricultural experts brought back by Hu Xiaoyan have finally come in handy. They gathered a group of university students from the Department of Agriculture of Chengxin University in Shanghai to stay in these large farms all day to provide technical support to the large farms.

At the same time, the first pesticide workshop in Anhui was secretly established in Anqing Industrial Zone. The technicians are mainly German and French. As for the British, they disdained to get involved.

Seeing the end of December, Hu Xiaoyan hurriedly left Angel and rushed to the base of the Grand Canyon Special Forces.

After Hu Xiaoyan was busy with work, Huo Yuanjia and Li Chen returned to the base, leaving Chen Xin to continue writing. However, Chen Xin is also very face-saving, and he recruited Hao Weizhen, a famous Tai Chi master.

The inside of the base is still the same, except that there are ten more British intelligence officers. These people will train Hu Xiaoyan's intelligence organization.

Including the original instructors Zhang Yuan, Li Chen, Zheng Jun and others had to receive intelligence training from the British. Others, such as Sun Lutang and others, are voluntary.

After all, Zhang Yuan, Li Chen, and many martial arts masters are all special forces, and the group of talents led by Zheng Jun is an authentic intelligence department.

Wait for Hu Xiaoyan to enter the base for a meeting. Zhang Yuan and Zheng Jun handed in their report cards. Hu Xiaoyan gave eight tasks before leaving, and each family has handed over all the five thousand years of silver. And the task description and summary also appeared in front of Hu Xiaoyan.

Hu Xiaoyan just took a general look at it and put it away. This thing needs to be looked at at night. It's time to have a meeting.

"So how is your training going?" Hu Xiaoyan looked at Zhang Yuan. The training of the special forces was in charge of Zhang Yuan, Sun Lutang, and Li Shuwen.

"My lord, you can stand with your recruits, and you can win with battle!" Zhang Yuan stood up and clenched his fists and replied, his voice sonorous and powerful.

"Okay, then show me the performance." Hu Xiaoyan won't wait for the meeting to come later. Time is running out now.

When everyone came out of the cave, they only heard Zhang Yuan's right hand put into his mouth and blew three whistles intermittently. Everywhere, in the grass, jungles, and by the rocks, there were many soldiers covered in some plant skins.

The collection was fast. The speed of coming down the mountain was extraordinary, and even Li Chen, who was known as flying on the grass, showed a surprised look.

In less than half an hour, a team of more than 100 people lined up and stood in front of everyone. You know, a lot of people are standing on the top of the cliff. They slid down from the top of the cliff holding vines and ropes, and Hu Xiaoyan saw that they were wearing tattered cotton gloves on their hands. It seems that they usually go up and down like this.

"Good." Hu Xiaoyan couldn't be more satisfied.

"Try the gun!"

The gun, of course, was not Mauser's ** training gun, but the smokeless gunpowder rifles of Mosinagan and Mauser. Soon after his return, Hu Xiaoyan purchased 200 Mosinagan rifles from the Russian Mainland. With such a few guns, it is very easy for foreign companies to get it. The choice of the Mosin Agan rifle was due to his accuracy. On the Korean battlefield, China's sniper king killed more than 300 people with a much-worn Mosinagan rifle. People call this rifle water beads.

Mauser doesn't need to say much about it, in addition to this, Germany sold him 10,000 Type 1888 commission rifles cheaply. This gun is currently only equipped with the second-line army of Germany, which still has a lot of stocks.

Although Hu Xiaoyan is knowledgeable, so Germany only needs a friendly price, but Hu Xiaoyan's logistical pressure has still increased, and his current rifle is equivalent to two types, one is the committee type, and the other is the G98 type. If the gun is broken, the two accessories cannot be used universally. For this reason, Hu Xiaoyan wanted to buy the production line of G98, but Germany refused. They themselves are not fully equipped, so how can they be willing to sell production lines and drawings? Being able to sell Hu Xiaoyan for 15,000 is already a result that William II attaches great importance to. And the commission-style rifle Hu Xiaoyan didn't look down on. The drawings and production lines for the shotgun were available at the Hanyang Arsenal, and Xu Jianyin, an expert in chemical gunpowder and the inventor of Chinese smokeless gunpowder, is now working at the Hanyang Arsenal.

Now these special forces are using Mosinagan and Mauser rifles. Mauser rifles are likewise claimed to be safe, simple, and reliable. Hu Xiaoyan naturally hoped that his troops would be equipped with this kind of gun, but now his potential has not been realized, and the Germans will not give it to him.

The special forces stretched out their hands, Hu Xiaoyan was very satisfied just now, but the hit rate of the rifle made Hu Xiaoyan very disappointed. More than 100 people, more than a dozen people missed the target when they hit a fixed target 100 meters away!

"My lord, the new rifle has just arrived, and the troops have not yet gotten used to the new rifle, so it is understandable that the results are not good." It was Sun Lutang who spoke.

Zhang Yuan's face is not very good-looking, but poor grades are poor. He's not easy to explain.

And Li Shuwen just held his spear and squinted his eyes, although he didn't seem to care, the twitching skin on his face still revealed his mood. No matter which martial arts master is facing so many rifles, it won't look good. What's more, after decades of martial arts training, he can't stop such a bullet!

Only Sun Lutang dared to speak because of his highest status in the martial arts world and his close relationship with Hu Xiaoyan. Hu Xiaoyan and Sun Lutang learned martial arts, although they have never apprenticed, but the two are also teachers and friends.

"Well, from today onwards, the special forces bullets will continue, and I don't ask for 100 shots, but it is better for the rifle to be used uniformly, and the hit rate must reach at least 70% of the hit rate at long distances." Hu Xiaoyan said unhappily, then pointed at Zheng Jun and left with Huo Yuanjia.

He is really unhappy, although the special forces have always used ** rifles for training, but black gunpowder bullets are cheap, Hu Xiaoyan has never cut off the supply of bullets, and changed the gun, how can you say that the gun feeling should still be there? If you can't hit 10 rings, you can hit one ring. More than a dozen people missed the target. Isn't this a slap in the face to Hu Xiaoyan?

Zheng Jun is an intelligence officer. His debriefing must be individual.

After stopping Huo Yuanjia and Sun Lutang, Hu Xiaoyan began to inquire about Lawrence's situation.

Lawrence's luck really belongs to the kind abandoned by God, Hu Xiaoyan once preached that he wanted to find Lawrence's family, but that was just to scare Lawrence.

Lawrence's family is far away in the UK, and it is not known which city it is in, and the name Lawrence is also fake, how can Hu Xiaoyan find his family with a fake name or without a photo?

But Lawrence carried his back on a picture of him and his wife. Hu Xiaoyan rescued Wang Wenyuan's wife, Elisa, in a London slum. After Alyssa returned to Hu Xiaoyan's farm, she got very close to Angel. Later, with the help of Angel, Alyssa and Wang Wenyuan easily reconciled. So the two of them prepared to go and take pictures. signed Hu Xiaoyan and Angel's wedding is imminent.

Hu Xiaoyan wanted to take a series of wedding photos to please Angel, after all, he has been busy in the UK and has no chance to accompany Angel well.

In the photo studio, Hu Xiaoyan saw a big photo of Lawrence with his beautiful wife Lilith and their lovely daughter Anna.

The owner of the photo studio is none other than Lawrence's wife, Lilith. Their wedding photos were placed in the photo studio. was seen at a glance by Hu Xiaoyan, who was about to take wedding photos.

Poor Lawrence! Lawrence abandoned by God! Lawrence who was favored by the big demon king Hu Xiaoyan!

When Hu Xiaoyan left the UK, he kidnapped Lawrence's wife and daughter.
