There were twenty or thirty Boxers present, and this is not counting the possibility of Boxers elsewhere in the village. Even if all three revolver bullets were gone, it wouldn't necessarily kill all of them.

Therefore, Hu Xiaoyan shot directly, a temporary deterrent, and a warning.

Hu Xiaoyan's current identity is no longer simply from the prime minister of Qipin. He commanded more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, plus tens of millions of assets on hand. He's a real little warlord.

In this case, even if Hu Xiaoyan never asked the guards to follow, Wang Tingjiao, Zhang Shaozeng and others would arrange guards for him. Wang Tingjiao is currently in the barracks he bought a year ago, and is fully responsible for the mobilization of troops and horses and the security of the airship base. And at least fifty elite soldiers who have fought against the special forces have been exploring and following from a distance.

There is no way, a big boss like Hu Xiaoyan really invests in his troops, schools and industries regardless of the cost. All the clothes of the servicemen were re-made to the style of the German Army, and this alone fed hundreds of people. And the army's food is better, three meals a day, at least there are fish at every meal, no way, Huaibei is on the Yangtze River, there is no other meat, there is a lot of fish. After Hu Xiaoyan spent a lot of money, the current regular army wanted to vomit when they saw the fish.

Not to mention the training of weapons and ammunition, Wang Tingjiao heard that Germany already had the most advanced Mauser rifle, so he casually mentioned it to Hu Xiaoyan, and Hu Xiaoyan bought Mauser back immediately after returning to China! You must know that the Mauser rifles have not yet been fully equipped with the German regular army!

Such a big boss who spends money generously and is willing to delegate power is simply the dream of a soldier, Hu Xiaoyan is missing a hair, Wang Tingjiao, Zhang Shaozeng and others are afraid that they will feel uncomfortable for a long time.

Hu Xiaoyan shot out, and the effect was obvious, although no one in the Boxers went to see the stupid sparrow, but they were a little hesitant. No one is not afraid of death. And the revolver is obviously comboable! The Boxers, who had fought with foreigners several times, were very clear about this.

"One last question: Who are you?" The man at the head turned even darker.

"Hmph." Hu Xiaoyan just snorted. Originally, he was very, very dissatisfied with the idea of this group of war scumbags, but now he is deadlocked, just because he doesn't want to kill people himself.

What is his identity Hu Xiaoyan, and what is the identity of the other party's group of scumbags? Even if Hu Xiaoyan wants to kill people with his own hands, it will be at least at the level of killing Enming and Li Hongzhang. Killing these people will only dirty your own hands.

"Big brother!" There's a little brother who can't wait.

But before he finished speaking, Huo Yuanjia shot first. A gunshot rang out, and the little brother fell.

"Kill!" How many people can be killed with three guns at close range? The man at the head saw his younger brother bleeding, and no matter how big his worries were, he suddenly burst out of his mind.

But they simply didn't have a chance.

Huo Yuanjia ran out of bullets from the revolver in one go, and threw the gun away. The body rushed into the crowd.

If this group of scumbags from the fifth battle had rushed forward from the beginning, maybe Hu Xiaoyan and Huo Yuanjia would still have some trouble, and they wouldn't even have a chance to draw their guns. But their speed can't match Huo Yuanjia's.

Huo Yuanjia, who rushed into the crowd, was like a tiger entering a flock. The sword of the long weapon has become a burden at this moment. An inch long and an inch strong is true, but at that time the enemy was outside the circle of attack. Once the enemy enters the circle, the longer the weapon, the more ineffective it will be, and the others want to attack Huo Yuanjia, but they can't avoid Hu Xiaoyan's revolver.

Three shots, Hu Xiaoyan only fired three shots and wounded the right hands of three people. As long as he dared to raise his knife at Huo Yuanjia on the side, he would be shot down by Hu Xiaoyan.

Huo Yuanjia had just hit seven or eight people, and there was a sound of horses' hooves outside the village. Soon the sound of horses' hooves entered the village. These are Hu Xiaoyan's guards.

To be honest, Hu Xiaoyan was disappointed, it has been several minutes since the first gunshot. According to the usual practice, Hu Xiaoyan entered the village, and the guards should also enter the village. But the guards must have become lazy, just hanging far behind.

Huo Yuanjia saw that the guards had arrived, so he snorted coldly and retreated, while Hu Xiaoyan's two pistols only fired seven bullets.

When the guards saw this scene, they didn't know what was going on?

"Grab them all. Dare to resist, don't kill! "The captain of the guards is now Liu Zhensheng.

He spoke too late, and the guards were already pressed over with guns.

"Misunderstanding! Our own people, we are the Boxers. The man at the head panicked at this time.

"Who's going to be with your own people?" The guards were not relentless, and smashed the butt of their guns down, directly smashing the leader of the Boxers to his stomach.

"Take it all back." Hu Xiaoyan just gave a faint order, but saw Huo Yuanjia looking at the child being held by the villagers with some pain. His voice was already a little hoarse.

Hu Xiaoyan walked over, took out some silver dollars, and took the hand of the old man holding the child. Send the silver dollar to the old man's palm.

"I'm sorry!"

Without waiting for an answer, he pulled Huo Yuanjia and left.

Huo Yuanjia was a little reluctant. But such things are too many and too common in China today. Of course Hu Xiaoyan can adopt this child! However, he could not adopt the countless children whose families had lost their parents and relatives because of the Boxer Rebellion. The boy was unlucky, and his life was saved by the man who might have been the village chief. More such children have a much better fate than he has, because they are dead. And this child still has decades to live, to remember today's scene.

Hu Xiaoyan said he was sorry because he could have prevented the Boxer Rebellion from happening. The Boxer Rebellion was originally launched in Shandong, as long as he went to Shandong to kill those leading figures, such as Zhao Sanduo and Cao Futian and others, maybe the Boxer Rebellion would not have its current scale. Their harm will also be manageable.

But he didn't. Compared with the Boxer Rebellion and the Gengzi Incident, Hu Xiaoyan thought deep down in his heart at that time that he would run a school and open an iron factory. is what is best for you.

Have I become a politician? Have I considered the problem only from the point of view of pure profit? Will I also become a ruthless person like Li Hongzhang, Yuan Shikai, and Sun Cannon?

None of the villagers in the back made a sound, only the sound of children whimpering.

Huo Yuanjia suddenly broke free of Hu Xiaoyan's hand and turned around and walked towards the child. Hu Xiaoyan stretched out his hand, but let Huo Yuanjia's sleeves slide away from his hand.

"What's the child's name?"

"Zhong Sanmao!" The old man bowed his head.

"Mom." The child's voice was already very slight, but it sounded like thunder to Huo Yuanjia's ears.

"Bury his parents well, and one day he will come back." Huo Yuanjia was concise and to the point. It's better never to come back, he added in his heart.

Huo Yuanjia hugged the child and let the child slap weakly on his back.

((I don't like the evaluation of the Boxers in the history books, but I can't help it.) I checked a lot of information, so I didn't want to write about the Boxers. Rightly or wrongly, they are already a handful of loess. Right or wrong. Just let it go with the wind. But at least there was such a child, maybe it was you, maybe it was me, and I would have a moment of shame when I dreamed back to a hundred years ago and witnessed that bloody fact? Hopefully this child never wakes up.

Suddenly, I felt that we were in such a safe and peaceful environment, which was really a very happy thing. At least we're much luckier than that kid. Let those unpleasantness go with the wind. ））
