Qihar, Eastern Suburbs, Jardine Villa.

Jardine, homonym Yihe, Jardine Villa, is the nest of the Qihar Boxers, located in the eastern suburbs of Qihar more than 20 miles away.

Since the martyrdom of Shoushan ten days ago and the entry of Tsarist Russia into Qihar, the situation of the Boxers in Qihar has become increasingly difficult, because the main battle faction of the imperial court is closer to the Boxers, and now that the court has been defeated, the main battle faction has become the scapegoat for the defeat, and the situation of the Boxers has naturally become delicate.

In Beijing, under the pretext of exterminating the Boxers, the Eight-Nation Allied Forces fought and looted everywhere, and even deliberately delayed the negotiation of peace, while in the three eastern provinces, Tsarist Russia occupied major cities one after another, and in Jilin and Liaoyang, Tsarist Russia had already begun to liquidate the Boxers and non-governmental anti-Russian organizations.

However, on the side of Heishui Province, because of the birth of the Black Dragon Army, it was like a magnet, attracting eighty percent of the Tsarist Russia's troops in Heishui Province to Aihui, which made the Boxers in Heishui Province live a much better life, otherwise they may only be exterminated, or flee to the mountains and forests as bandits.

"Senior Brother Li, Senior Brother Fan, after our detailed investigation, a cavalry battalion of Tsarist Russia, as the vanguard of the northward march to Aihui, set off two days ago, and yesterday an infantry brigade and an artillery regiment of Tsarist Russia went north again, so it can be said that the Tsarist Russian forces in Qihar are very empty at this moment, and it is the best time to attack the nest of Tsarist Russia."

The person who spoke was Zou Yin, the elder brother of Aihui of the Boxer Rebellion, who had a lot of friendship with Yue Weihua, who met Yue Weihua by chance when he came to Qihar last time, and then facilitated Yue Weihua's annihilation of the three battalions of the Russian road escort team, and rescued more than 3,000 migrant workers, and then Zou Yin returned to Aihui with Yue Weihua. As a result, Yue Weihua was delayed because of the matter of Xigang's beard, and Zou Yin returned to Aihui first.

After returning to Aihui. Zou Xiang led his brothers to actively participate in the anti-Russian movement, and performed remarkably in the first battle of Shangma Village. However, after the war, Zou Yin never appeared again, and Yue Weihua also deliberately took care of his subordinates to look for him, but he didn't expect that this guy would be haunted and run back to Qihar.

"Senior Brother Zou, I heard that you withdrew from Aihui and lost a lot of brothers, I don't know how many brothers you have under your hands now?" Senior Brother Li in Zou Yin's mouth asked.

Senior Brother Li, full name Li Zongzan. It is the elder brother from Bingcheng, after the Bingcheng was broken by Lao Maozi, he vigorously pursued and killed the Boxers, Shoushan was still there at that time, Qihar did not surrender to Tsarist Russia, so Li Zongzan took his brothers and went straight to Qihar, and went to Qihar's senior brother Fan Yi'an.

"Senior Brother Li, Zou is not as powerful as Senior Brother Li's subordinates. There are only about 500 people. Zou Yin told the truth, in fact, when he evacuated from Aihui, there were less than 300 people left under Zou Yin's hands. After coming to Qihar, he recruited some more men, so that he could have 500 people.

"Senior Brother Li, although there are not many brothers under Senior Brother Wrinkle. But they are all elite and well-equipped. Its combat effectiveness is by no means comparable to that of our brothers. Fan Yi'an suddenly interjected.

"Oh?"

Li Zongzan didn't expect Fan Yi'an to attach so much importance to Zou Yin's department. You must know that the Boxers, although there are many in various places, but most of them are peasant brothers, even if they participate in the battle, they hold more cold weapons than hot weapons, and the word well-equipped never seems to be hooked with the Boxers.

"Senior Brother Fan praised it falsely." Zou Yin said politely, and then said: "Two senior brothers, what do you think of the proposal just now, are you interested in attacking the Tsarist Russian headquarters together and eating the remaining battalions of soldiers and horses from Lao Maozi?" ”

"Hehe, Senior Brother Fu, your appetite is really not small, you eat a few battalions of soldiers and horses left behind by Tsarist Russia, but I don't know how Senior Brother Zou plans to eat?" Li Zongzan sneered, although he didn't have any suspicions with Zou Yin, but Zou Yin's tone was really unbearable.

"As far as I know, Senior Brother Li has nearly a thousand brothers under his hands, Senior Brother Fan also has 14500 under his hands, plus the men and horses under Zou, there are almost nearly 3,000 people, and the soldiers and horses left behind by Lao Maozi, as far as I know, only have four battalions and more than 2,000 people, what's the matter, do the two senior brothers not have the courage to fight?" Zou Yin analyzed.

"Senior Brother Zou, it's not that I am so ambitious to destroy my own prestige, our 3,000 men and horses, fighting against Lao Maozi's 2,000 men and horses, are really not opponents, don't you want to think about it, everyone has water beads in their hands, and even cannons and machine guns, but what do we have?"

"Oh, by the way, everyone under your hand has a water bead, and even two Makqin heavy machine guns, but what about our subordinates, but more than half of them are fighting with cold weapons, which can't be compared at all."

"Another point, Qihar still has six battalions of the Qing army, what is their attitude, I'm afraid it won't help us fight Lao Maozi, right?" Fan Yi'an asked rhetorically continuously.

Hearing Fan Yi'an's rebuttal, Zou Yin could only smile bitterly, and said secretly in his heart: The Boxers seem to have little hope, although the Boxers are poorly equipped, they at least have a fearless heart, even if they hold a kitchen knife, they dare to fight hard with Lao Maozi, but now, with the change of the attitude of the imperial court, the decline of the Boxers has appeared.

At this time, Zou Yin suddenly remembered what Yue Weihua had said to him last time: "The imperial court will sell you sooner or later, if Senior Brother Zou doesn't want his brothers to die in vain, I hope you can plan early." ”

After the scene was awkwardly silent for a while, Zou Yin re-spoke: "Senior Brother Fan, Senior Brother Li, in fact, this time to attack the few battalions of soldiers and horses left behind by Tsarist Russia, I also invited helpers, otherwise I wouldn't dare to propose rashly, and as long as you are willing to make a move, I want to destroy Lao Maozi's remaining guards, it is definitely not a problem, and the benefits will definitely not be less, are you not curious, why is my equipment so good, I can tell you the truth, it was sent by the person I invited." ”

Indeed, at this time, Yue Weihua was already on his way to Qihar, in fact, Yue Weihua originally planned to go back to Morgan City directly, after all, it had been two days since he came out of the Wolf Domain, and several other armies of Tsarist Russia had also marched towards Aihui, especially the forward troops of Qihar and Bingcheng, which might be fighting soon, and Yue Weihua had to return to the Wolf Domain as soon as possible.

However, last night, he received a telegram from Wu Lei, the head of the Qihar intelligence group, saying that his old friend Zou Yin had come to the door and wanted to borrow some weapons and equipment, because Zou Yin wanted to unite several senior brothers and plot against several battalions of soldiers and horses left behind by Tsarist Russia.

The purpose of coming here is very clear, to cooperate with a few senior brothers of the Boxer Rebellion, to see if they can be taken back for their own use, after all, the recent situation of the Boxers is not good, and after a while, after the Qing court officially issued an order to exterminate the boxers, the life of these senior brothers may be even more sad, if they can release their good intentions in advance, plus Zou Yin, an acquaintance, and have worked together, then the hope of co-optation will naturally increase greatly.

Second, I heard that Lao Maozi has recently looted a lot of people's fat and people's ointment, all of which have been piled up in the Tsarist Provisional Command, these things, Yue Weihua is resolutely unable to let these old Maozi be transported away, since there is a chance to get them back, naturally he can't miss it.

Third, it is because of the current Mergen deputy capital Ulemu who is hiding under the wing of Tsarist Russia, Yue Weihua wants to support Yan Batu to take the position, so he naturally has to do this current deputy capital first, of course, if Yue Weihua does not come in person, it is not impossible to hand it over to the intelligence team, but the danger is not small.

And Zou Yin's side, when he got the news that Yue Weihua was going to come in person, he was also moved, and felt that Yue Weihua was righteous, and he had avoided Yue Weihua's solicitation three times and twice before, this time, Zou Yin really made up his mind, and after the war, he took refuge in Yue Weihua, this senior brother, don't do it.

Back to the topic, Zou Yin's words made Fan Yi'an and Li Zongzan a little surprised, originally thought that Zou Yin's weapons and equipment were captured by Zou Yin's battle with Lao Maozi, but they didn't expect that there were still people who were so generous, so generous, and sent so many and such good weapons and equipment, not to mention Makqin, just a few hundred water beads are enough to make these two guys red-eyed.

"Senior Brother Zou, it's the Black Dragon Army that gave you equipment?"

Fan Yi'an and Li Zongzan asked almost in unison, in fact, it is not difficult to guess, Zou Yin was born in Aihui, and participated in two anti-Russian wars in Aihui, and whose territory Aihui is, not to mention the whole of China, at least everyone in Heishui Province knows it, no one knows it, not to mention, they are also like-minded people.

"Exactly."

Zou Yin nodded, he didn't plan to hide anything from this, and to this day, Zou Yin already had plans to defect to Yue Weihua, and he also knew that Yue Weihua intended to recruit some Boxer members to strengthen the Black Dragon Army, so naturally there was no need to hide anything.

"But as far as I know, at present, the Tsarist Russian army is surrounded by several armies, and the Black Dragon Army really has spare strength, so how can it break out and attack Qihar with us?" Li Zongzan frowned and asked rhetorically.

"Regarding this, Senior Brother Li doesn't need to worry." Zou Yin paused, as if to prove something, so he continued: "Senior Brother Fan, do you remember that about half a month ago, the three battalions of the Russian road escort team were destroyed? ”

"Of course I remember, although in the end the Qing court admitted that they did this, but I also led a team to garrison there at that time, so I naturally understood that it could not be done by the Qing court." Speaking of this, Fan Yi'an suddenly came to his senses and said, "Haha, I understand, no wonder after that night, Senior Brother Zou didn't say goodbye, so that's the case." ”

"Senior Brother Fan, what the hell is going on?"

Fan Yi'an's dumb riddle made Li Zongzan very puzzled, he had heard about the destruction of the three battalions of the road guard team half a month ago, but he heard that it was done by the imperial court, for this reason, Shoushan had to martyr the city in order to beg Tsarist Russia not to harm the people, but he didn't expect that there seemed to be another article.

"Oh, speaking of which, the attack that night was really like a storm, in just twenty minutes, the three battalions of Tsarist Russia were completely annihilated, and more than 3,000 migrant workers were rescued,......, I didn't expect that I, Fan Yi'an, had the honor to cooperate with the Black Dragon Army, and I Fan Yi'an did it."
