Chapter 1: I can't help myself

A few days have passed since the Battle of Langfang, and both sides of the battle have almost completed the reception of the wounded, the counting of casualties, and other things that modern armies are bound to do. In fact, since the pre-Qin and Warring States periods, these things are what any powerful country will inevitably do after the war.

It has already been said before that fighting a war is a matter that can directly determine the life and death of a country, so we must be cautious. It is necessary to make all kinds of preparations before the war, and to do a good job of casualty statistics after the war, to reward those who fought bravely, and to punish those who cowered or violated military law.

This is something that any country must take seriously, but can the Manchus still be considered a country? Although the original Manchu Qing was a colonial regime, it was able to maintain the unity of government decrees throughout the country by and large. But as soon as the Southeast Mutual Insurance came out, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Great Qing Kingdom was coming to an end.

However, when it was over, it refused to take its last breath. Also, people who can face life and death and are fearless are heroes and heroes who are not born in the world. There is not a single country that can do this. Even cows and horses will probably bark twice before they are slaughtered.

The high-ranking dignitaries at the top couldn't help but panic after receiving the news that the Black Dragon Society had a big battle with the foreigners and had to withdraw from their positions under heavy casualties. I heard that in that battle, the two sides killed the sky and the earth was dark, and the blood flowed like a river, and the number of dead people was called more than one. The foreign guns and cannons on both sides have not stopped for a moment, and now if any of you dare to go to Langfang to see, the ground is still full of guns and cannons.

"Alas, your third master, now I don't want to talk to you about any stupid talk about state affairs," Liang shopkeeper wiped the counter and said, "But this foreigner is about to hit the capital, you said that there are so many people in this Black Dragon Society, why is it defeated?" It's good for them to withdraw, what can we do here? ”

"What should I do?" Fugui wiped his mouth and laughed, "I told you a long time ago that the foreigners are about to be killed." If you have the ability, run away. ”

"That's what I said, but, you also know that we, the neighbors, rely on this ancestral craft and storefront to eat, and we have run away from other places, how can we live?"

"Since you can't run, you can only find a way to do it with foreign devils!" Fugui shouted: "Don't we have a few good men in the capital? I heard that Wang Wuye, who originally returned to his hometown in Shaanxi, has returned to the capital and is going to have a big fight with foreigners. ”

"But," said the shopkeeper Liang, "it is useless for us to want to join the army like this." We don't know how to use guns and guns, and we can't play with big knives, so don't we send food to foreign devils? It's not appropriate, you know a lot of people, and you have a wide range of paths, what other tricks do you have? ”

"Something else? That's not for nothing. Have you heard of "The Legend of Yue"? Ever heard? That's good! It used to be: he had maces, I had skulls. Now, that is: he has foreign guns and cannons, I have big swords and spears, no, he has foreign guns and cannons, and I have a bad life. Fugui squinted at it, Bai Wen was still eating rotten meat noodles slowly, and then he continued: "Anyway, we are all rotten lives, just how those foreigners toss, don't you say, Fourth Master Wen?" ”

Bai Wen wanted to go to the Black Dragon Society last time to ask if there was a way to send his younger brothers and sisters to other places, but he saw those photos promoting the atrocities of foreigners halfway, and his brain was hot and he yelled there for a long time. After coming to his senses, he hurriedly ran home, you must know that he is a figure with a black history, where do you dare not be a man with his tail between his legs? If this gathering of people is shaken out, I will have to go to the prison for a trip.

Now Bai Wen listened to Fugui's yin and yang strange words, raised his head and glanced at the guy, and lowered his head to eat his noodles again.

Seeing him like this, Fugui was angry, "Wen Si, isn't it for the sake of your dead brother and Amma, do you think I will take care of your family's?" I'll tell you, wait for this foreigner to enter the capital."

Speaking of this, Fugui seemed to think of something, and suddenly closed his mouth. Then he looked left and right, and saw a strange man listening intently to the conversation in the doorway. He twitched his eyebrows, and then said viciously: "Hey, guy over there, what are you from?" How do you listen to the uncles here? ”

"Yo, there's a guest coming, I'm sorry for you." Shopkeeper Liang inserted between the two, blocked Fugui behind him, and said, "What are you going to eat?" ”

"Shopkeeper," the man was about twenty-four or five years old, wearing a melon-skin hat and a ill-fitting coat and a pair of shaggy pants underneath, looking a little undescriptive. But this man is tall and ruddy, which means that he is healthy. Well, it has a rare self-confidence and heroism.

The man said to the shopkeeper Liang: "Just look at it and get me something to eat." Then he took out a piece of ocean and handed it to the smiling shopkeeper Liang.

"This brother," the young man said to Fugui, "when I first came to the capital, I didn't know that such a big thing had happened. And what the Black Dragon Society is all about, can you tell me about it? ”

"Made, when you came to the capital at this time, do you have a problem with your brain?" Fugui muttered a few words in a low voice, and then said with a cross eyebrow: "Hey, listen up." The black dragon will be something, the uncle doesn't know anything! ”

"Huh?" The man frowned, and then came: "Shopkeeper, give me a copy of what I want, and count it on my account." ”

"Yo, it's pretty good." Fugui's face softened, and he sat down beside the man honestly and unceremoniously, and said, "Then you can be regarded as asking the right person, there is nothing in this capital realm that I Fugui does not know." But let me tell you, it's too bad for you to come here. This foreigner is about to fight under the city, you came here, not looking for me, I don't mean that, I mean you come here at this time, it's not good if something happens in a hurry. ”

"Ah, the foreigners are coming?" The man looked very surprised, "What about the emperor and the queen mother?" ”

As soon as these words came out, several people in the teahouse looked at him together. Fugui laughed a few times, looked at his head, and then showed a look of sudden realization, and lowered his voice and said: "This well, this brother, although I am very bold, brother, but in this hall, it is better not to talk about things in the palace casually." ”

"Did I say something wrong?" The man said, "This kind of thing can't be discussed?" ”

"This" Fugui hesitated for a moment, looked left and right, and saw that everyone didn't seem to hear what they said, so he turned around and said: "This brother, I will teach you one thing, this capital is not better than other places, if you want to live for a long time, there are some things that should not be talked about." ”
