Chapter 77: Don't Forget the National Shame
The wings of Yue Weihua, a little butterfly, are still too weak to change the direction of history.
Although the battle of Heihetun caused a little trouble to Tsarist Russia, Tsarist Russia did not announce the news to the world, and even after the news came out in the capital, the ministers who were far away in Tianjin and the leading generals of the Tsarist invading army all flatly denied it.
The diplomats of Tsarist Russia firmly told the ministers of the countries and the generals of the Eight-Nation Coalition that this was a joke, fabricated by the Qing Dynasty to disgust our great Slavic nation, and therefore the coalition troops set off on time.
On the afternoon of 4 August, the forces of the Eight-Nation Coalition (in fact, the Seven-Nation Alliance, which the German Empire insisted on waiting until its expeditionary force arrived) marched from Tientsin and along the banks of the canal toward Yanjing.
In order to prevent the allied forces from advancing northward, the Qing government built two lines of defense between Beijing and Tianjin, and sent well-equipped armed guards to garrison the two places.
In the early morning of August 5, more than 8,000 little devils took the lead in attacking the Beicang defense line, and the Qing army fought bloodily to resist several charges, but with the addition of British and American artillery fire, the battle situation quickly tilted, and finally the Qing army suffered heavy casualties and was forced to withdraw from the position and retreat to Yangcun.
At this time, Yue Weihua was staring at the map of China, staring at the land of Beijing and Tianjin, although he didn't know the historical chariot, still moving forward, but after waking up early in the morning, Yue Weihua's mind was still full of the Eight-Nation Alliance's entry into Yanjing, the order issued by the commander of the coalition forces of various countries to "charter the army to rob for three days", and the Xinchou Treaty that lost power and humiliated the country,......。
At this moment, Yue Weihua is extremely depressed in his heart, with mixed tastes, anger, anger, hatred, sadness, and more helplessness.
If you are backward, you will be beaten, and this bloody law of the jungle has been confirmed again and again in this era when the great powers are vying for hegemony and the law of the jungle is the strong.
"Hey."
Yue Weihua sighed helplessly, decisively cleared the depression in his chest, and then said firmly: "The wings of the butterfly will slowly harden, as long as my Black Dragon Army is strong enough, then history is only history after all, and the future will be created by me Yue Weihua." ”
Immediately, Yue Weihua took a firm step and began, morning exercise.
In the morning, at about ten o'clock, Yue Xiaodong brought a friend who called himself Luoshui to visit, Yue Weihua's heart moved, and secretly said, the boat is coming.
Luoshui water bandits, these four words, when Yue Weihua just entered the wolf domain, he heard it, because they are a well-known gang in the jurisdiction of Aihui, because they rule Luoshui, and they call themselves the Luoshui Boat Gang.
Luoshui, although not as famous as the Songhua River, Mudanjiang River, Nenjiang River, etc., but it is also the main branch basin of the upper reaches of the Heishui River, which is the largest river in the Aihui jurisdiction except for the Heishui River, the upstream starts from the tributaries of the Nenjiang River, and the downstream is in the Heihetun area, which flows into the Heishui River, with a total length of nearly 100 kilometers.
Being able to control such a river, the power of the Luoshui bandits is actually no less than the original second station Su Majia, and how could such a gang that relies on the river for food not have a boat?
Yue Weihua was very formally at the headquarters and met with this friend of Luoshui.
The person who came was not like the five big and three thick bandits, he was a young man of medium stature, about thirty years old, but he looked like a talented man, or rather, like a talented man from the water town in the south of the Yangtze River, of course, if he held a paper fan in his hand, it would be more like.
Yue Weihua is looking at the people who are coming, and the people who are coming are also looking at Yue Weihua, tall and strong, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and his face is not angry and arrogant, it is rumored that this big leader of the Black Dragon Army has the ability of a fairy, but it seems that there is nothing special, but it has more connotation than ordinary people.
Yue Weihua stretched out his hand first, revealing a trademark, with an affinity smile, and said, "Yue Weihua, welcome friends from Luoshui. ”
Yue Weihua's smile suddenly shortened the distance between the two, Luo Qing stretched out his hand and shook it with Yue Weihua, and said with a smile: "Hello, contemptible Luo Qing, from Luoshui, it is a great honor to be able to meet Commander Yue." ”
"Brother Luo, you're welcome, please take a seat." After Yue Weihua complimented him, he then instructed Yue Xiaodong and said, "Why are you so blind, you don't know how to make tea when you come to the door." ”
Yue Xiaodong was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly, but before Yue Xiaodong could turn around, he heard Luo Qing hurriedly stop him: "This can't be helped, Camp Chief Yue, but the real hero of the famous Aihui Green Forest, Luo Mou can't afford it." ”
"Haha, Brother Luo is polite, the person who came is a guest, and it is Yue who is neglected."
Yue Xiaodong hurriedly got up, although Yue Xiaodong's identity, whether in the past or now, was enough to have a relationship with Luo Qingping's peers, but Yue Weihua's orders, Yue Xiaodong did not dare to slack off in the slightest, so he honestly got up and made tea.
"Commander Yue, Luo is also a straightforward person, this time I came here to form an alliance with your army, I don't know, what does Commander Yue think?" Although Luoqing people are more beautiful, their style of doing things is a typical Northeast style.
"The alliance, Yue is naturally welcome, but I don't know if Brother Luo, what he said, can he represent Luo Shui?"
I have to say that several leaders of the Luoshui bandits are quite mysterious and rarely show up, the outside world only knows that there are four leaders of the Luoshui bandits, and Luo Qing in front of him, Yue Weihua only guessed that it should be one of the four masters, and it is estimated that Yue Xiaodong does not know which one is in charge, otherwise Yue Xiaodong should take the initiative to introduce it.
"Naturally, otherwise, how would Luo dare to ask to see Commander Yue directly." Luo Qing said bluntly, but he still didn't say who he was in charge of, and, listening to Luo Qing's tone, it was obvious that he had done some research on the Black Dragon Army.
Yue Weihua smiled, Luo Qing still did not say his identity, it seems that the deep alliance is like the Eighteen Union Forts, it is unlikely, but the person who comes is a guest, and now, it should be the time to unite all the forces that can be united, and it cannot be turned away, so he continued: "In this case, then Brother Luo, how do you plan to form an alliance with our Black Dragon Army?" ”
After Luo Qing pondered for a while, just as he was about to answer, Yue Xiaodong happened to enter with tea, Luo Qing got up and took the teacup with his own hands, and thanked: "This is really not daring, if it is spread out, I'm afraid, Luo Mou will not dare to mix in Aihui." ”
"It's a guest, it should be, Commander, it's okay, I'll go and get busy first?" Yue Xiaodong said.
"What's the hurry, sit down and talk together, Brother Luo, it's on behalf of Luo Shui to form an alliance, you listen to it together." Yue Weihua said.
"Oh, alliance, alliance is good, hey, if you want to say that the green forest in the entire northern jurisdiction of Aihui is basically allied now, it's up to you Luoshui." Yue Xiaodong said bluntly after hearing this.
As soon as Luo Qing heard Yue Xiaodong's words, his face turned green, and he secretly scolded Yue Xiaodong in his heart for not being a thing, this is also called an alliance, it is obviously a good annexation, and this Yue Xiaodong's meaning is obviously to directly absorb Luo Shui.
"Let you sit and listen, and don't let you have an opinion." Yue Weihua saw that Luo Qing's face was ugly, so he reprimanded Yue Xiaodong, and then continued: "Brother Luo, don't mind, this guy deals with bandits all day long, and he doesn't pay attention to proportion, don't take it to heart, I welcome an alliance with Luoshui, but I don't know, Brother Luo, if you want to form an alliance with our Black Dragon Army, how can you form an alliance?" ”
"Alliance, naturally it is an alliance, burn incense and worship the handle, is it possible to form an alliance?" Luo Qing said bluntly.
Yue Weihua was a little helpless, is this Luo Qing pretending to be stupid, or is he really stupid, burning incense and worshipping the handle, that is when everyone is of equal strength, but does the Luoshui Boat Gang really have the same strength as the Black Dragon Army, anyway, Yue Weihua didn't believe it, so he glanced at Yue Xiaodong, after all, there are some things that are not easy to say.
Yue Xiaodong is still very discerning, knowing that Yue Weihua must have a purpose in keeping him, this Yue Weihua glanced at it, and then he asked directly: "Brother Luo, dare to ask, how many people and how many guns are there in your gang?" ”
"This?" Luo Qing was stunned for a moment, this is also too straightforward, the Luoshui Boat Gang has rarely participated in the battle in the green forest, so outsiders really don't know what its strength is, and Luoshui also intends to maintain this mystery, and has always forbidden to leak his own situation, of course, there are some other reasons, that is, the composition of the Luoshui Boat Gang is also a little different from ordinary gangs.
Luo Qingyi hesitated, obviously didn't want to say, Yue Weihua suddenly lost interest in talking about alliances, so he directly took over the topic and said: "Luoshui Boat Gang, self-contained, Xiaodong, don't embarrass others, if you guess correctly, Brother Luo, you should want to buy our weapons and equipment, right?" ”
Luo Qing nodded subconsciously, it is true, although Luo Qing has some ideas about forming an alliance, but the most direct purpose is actually to buy weapons from Yue Weihua, and now the wealth of the Black Dragon Army and the high-end atmosphere of weapons and equipment have already spread all over Aihui.
"Since that's the case, it's easy to do, it just so happens that your boat gang also has what our Black Dragon Army needs, let's talk about the deal directly."
Yue Weihua's straightforwardness made Luo Qing stunned again, although he was a little subtle, but you guys were too direct, but now that matter, Luo Qing has no other choice, if he is still secretive and procrastinating, I am afraid that he will really offend the Black Dragon Army.
"Dare to ask, Commander Yue, what do you need from our boat gang, Luo promises that as long as the boat gang can give it, he will not be stingy." Luo Qingyan said.
"Hehe, I want two boats, a little bigger, but the speed must be faster, this shouldn't be difficult for the boat gang, right?"
"Commander Yue said with a smile, how can the boat gang be short of ships, but how big does Commander Yue want and what needs to be transported, whether two ships are enough, if not, we can provide a few more." Luo Qingdao.
"How old? Well, you can transport 50 people at a time, plus 50 war horses to cross the river, you can't use more, two is enough, but you must choose the best performance and fastest speed for me, don't worry about the price, you will definitely be satisfied. Yue Weihua said.
A few more ships, you think, weapons and equipment are cabbage.
"Okay, deal."
