Chapter 221: Out of Beijing
The group entered the courtyard, and the officer headed by him saluted Shigege and gave Zhao Guanhou a salute. The two of them are generally second-grade tops, Zhao Guanhou is better than one more yellow coat, but this person is the winged leader of the Tiger God Battalion, the capital is his territory, and the travelers worship the guests, Zhao Guanhou finally returned the salute before giving up.
As soon as I saw the ceremony, from the guard, a person rushed out, taking off his outer coat as he walked, "Guanhou!" God forbid, I thought it would be difficult to see you, the end of the world, this is simply the end of the world, this negotiation, there is absolutely no way to finish. ”
Only then did Zhao Guanhou discover that this guard was Jian Sen who came in military uniform, and because he lowered his head, he didn't show any flaws. He was overjoyed and took Jenson's hand, "How's it going?" You're not hurt, are you? There's something going on here, but I only heard shouting, killing, you're not hurt. ”
"No, I'm fine, those thugs didn't hurt me, but I must remind you that your country is on the verge of destruction. If the actions of these bandits are not reined in as soon as possible, then everything will be irreversible. You will bear the wrath of the nations of the world, and believe me, it will not be pleasant. ”
She spoke in Capetian language, which others couldn't understand, and Zhao Guanhou also replied in Capetian language: "Those things are questions that big people think, and they have nothing to do with me." All I care about is how you are, and as long as you're not hurt, it's all right. ”
Jenson smiled sweetly, "Not only did I not get hurt, but I also made a lot of money." I have not only completed the tasks you have given me, but also made several big business, and the performance in the second half of the year must be very good. ”
At this time, Akdan invited one of the guards to come out, "Fifth Master, come out, you and Lord Zhao are also acquaintances, there is no need for everyone to hide it." ”
What came out of the crowd again was the big sword king Wu who disguised himself as a personal companion, he saw Zhao Guanhou, his face was a little ugly, to put it in detail, the two are festivals are far greater than friendship, somehow, he will find it today. After everyone sat down, Akdan first said to Shigege: "Tenth Master, the prince asked me to bring you a message, you have to take that horsewhip with you, you must not lose it." Although his old man kicked you out, after all, you are his bloodline, and he can't ignore it. No, send me to my humble position, and I will escort you out of Beijing. ”
The secret in King Qing's horsewhip obviously can't be told to him, but as long as he is not a stupid person, after hearing this, he should know that there is something else in the horsewhip. This is also an insurance for King Qing, lest several people be confused for a while and let down his hard work.
Although Akdan is the winged leader of the Tiger God Battalion, he is not a henchman of King Duan. In the army, it is also unattainable to want to be the confidant of the commander-in-chief. Among the armies in the capital, there are all powerful ministers who have their own ears and cronies, and no one can grasp all the power in their own hands. Akdan is a pawn of King Qing.
His father had received the favor of King Qing, and he himself was helped by King Qing, so he was willing to serve King Qing. This relationship, King Qing has never used it before, and this time for the sake of his daughter, he had to use this relationship. Because of the opportunity to learn artillery, he became a teacher and friend with the foreign bishop of the Xishiku Church, and then he was baptized by the bishop and made him join the Catholic Church and become a parishioner.
For such a thing as a flag person's entry into the church, it is not very compatible at present, especially for an extremely xenophobic person like Duanwang, let alone it. Fortunately, Qingheng, the deputy capital of the Shenji Battalion, was kind to him, and Qingheng was a friend of Duanwang who could talk to him very well, and with such a relationship, no one touched him. But for him, there is always some discrimination, only King Qing has a broader vision because of his relationship with foreign affairs, and he does not care about his status as a churchman, and he is also the most compatible with him.
This time, please ask him to come forward to protect Shigege and his party out of Beijing, but also to borrow his identity as the wing commander of the Tiger God Battalion, at the moment, the Flying Tiger Regiment is lawless and undisciplined, only the Tiger God Battalion can rely on the relationship between King Duan and restrain him slightly. Zhao Guanhou looked at Wang Wu again, "Fifth Master, how do you appreciate the light, and you came here too?" I've made a few posts and wanted to invite you to Shandong, but you just didn't give face. Our Lord Yuan has admired your name for a long time, and I want to hire you to teach the right army, I don't know if you will appreciate your face this time. ”
Wang Wudao: "Lord Zhao, you misunderstood, Wang was entrusted by Lord Akdan this time to escort you from Beijing to Jinmen, and when you get to the place, I will go back." At the beginning, Shigege valued Wang, a rough person, very much, and with this friendship, I couldn't watch her fall into trouble. As for teaching, Wang is just a mountain village man, but he can't take on this big responsibility. ”
It is reasonable for him to refuse to nod his head about Tan Zhuangfei's murder. Fortunately, his people are above board, and their kindness will be repaid. At the beginning, Shigege treated him with the dignity of a nobleman, and he repaid it with the courtesy of a countryman, which was also an unexpected joy.
Gao Jinzhong took some wine and meat from the house, poured wine for everyone, and Zhao Guanhou asked: "My lord, what happened, why did I just listen to killing and killing on this day." Originally, the Flying Tigers were not in the outer city, but why did they kill in the city? ”
Akdan shook his head, "Lord Zhao, you don't know yet, on this day, the capital is really troublesome, and something big has happened." ”
The previous Zhili boxers became more and more troublesome, which has made the ministers of various countries seriously dissatisfied, and they have repeatedly protested to the affairs yamen, asking the Jin State government to restrain the behavior of the boxers. Two days ago, the murder of the secretary of the Fuso embassy, Uesugi Bin, completely intensified the incident. Between Daikin and the ministers of various countries, it has reached the point of saber rattling and imminent eruption.
This morning, Zhao Guanhou went to Xiyuan to face the saint, and there was a diplomatic dispute on the side of Dongjiaomin Lane. Two boxers went to Dongjiaomin Lane to show their majesty, roamed around in a carriage, and fiddled with big knives on the carriage to scare foreigners. When he met Clinde, Clinde was already a sharp figure, and immediately attacked the Flying Tigers when he saw him. The boxers were no match for Clinder, one escaped, and two were taken. Clothes and steel knives were sent to the affairs yamen.
The auxiliary prince Chenglan went to negotiate in vain, and the two were not negotiated, but made the trouble even more unpleasant, and finally the two people who were boxed were all executed by the Prussian legation. This move completely angered the Flying Tigers. By noon, the retaliation began.
Thousands of Flying Tiger Regiment members entered the inner city through Chongwenmen under the leadership of the senior brother and the second senior brother, and they burned the church when they saw it, and they did not let go of the shops selling foreign goods. He also captured the parishioners and the so-called Ermaozi and Sanmaozi everywhere, and took them to Zhuangwang's Mansion and killed them together. There are women, children and children inside, and I don't know how many.
Originally, he wanted to kill foreigners all the way into the embassy and kill foreigners to vent his anger to the people, but he didn't want Clint to arrange it very carefully, and after the negotiations broke down, mines were laid on the main traffic arteries of the embassy and marked with wooden signs.
The intimidation of this move is much higher than the actual combat. However, most of the Flying Tigers were illiterate and did not know what was written on the warning signs, so they rushed in regardless of it, and then suffered a big loss. With the addition of mines and a platoon of guns, the Flying Tigers were hit head-on and their morale was setback. Turning his head, he rushed to Wangfujing Street, burning more than a dozen churches in a row, burning countless foreign goods stores, and the number of people killed was even more difficult to count.
Later, the group split into two routes, chasing and killing the fleeing parishioners, missionaries, and nuns, and chased them to the vicinity of the church in Sishiku, preparing to attack the church. The other road regrouped and chose Dongjiaomin Lane.
The palace gave King Qing a decree to save Xu Tong, a bachelor who lived in Dongjiaomin Lane, from the pond fish. However, Xu Tong had already taken his family and lived in Duanwang's Mansion, and Akdan took this opportunity to bring out Mrs. Jensen, who lived in the concession. In addition, Wang Wu was invited to accompany him.
Zhao Guanhou looked at Akdan, "Do you know Mrs. Jensen?" ”
"We are parishioners and we have never seen each other before. This time, it was mainly because I had a friend in the concession who introduced me, and of course, everyone was a fellow believer in the religion and should help each other. Now Dongjiaomin Lane is still shouting killing, the situation is really troublesome, listen to them say, tomorrow will burn the north and south halls. This is simply a rebellion, and the prince will not restrain them, and I don't understand. ”
The south hall is the first church to be established in the capital and is located in the area of Xuanwu Gate, while the north hall is the Xishiku church, which is the neighbor of Tateyama. When Zhao Guanhou went to Yang's Mansion for a banquet, he once saw the church and knew that it was the main church of the Catholic Church in Jinguo. frowned, "Lord A, the North Hall is so close to the Three Seas, isn't it possible that if you burn the North Hall, you are not afraid of disturbing the two palaces?" ”
"That's not the case, the palace has already issued an edict, sent Lan Gong to lead the troops, went to the ground, and ordered the people not to burn the North Hall. But Duandi spoke first, saying that this is the will of the people and cannot go against the will of the people. Xu Tong also wrote a pair to the group people, creating an unprecedented anecdote, neither left nor evil, attacking heresy and upholding people's hearts, loyalty, filial piety and honesty, only this sincerity is not lost; Left a good story for Si Shishao, a surprise and a joy, relying on the power of God to cold the courage, agriculture and businessman, and now the resentment can be eliminated. It was written that the book was given to the senior brother of the Flying Tiger Divine Regiment, didn't this fuel their arrogance? Lan Gong received the order, and he didn't move at all, in my opinion, tomorrow will be a big mess. The prince is worried that the chaotic people will kill people and set fires, which is not conducive to Gege and the adults, so he specially came to send you out of Beijing early tomorrow morning. ”
"Beijing, are you still going out?"
"Desheng Gate can be walked, but the road is full of flying tigers, covering the road and making it difficult to pass. Xiaguan still has three points of face in front of Duandi, and he asked for a big order from Brother Qingheng, there is no problem in sending you over Fengtai, and as soon as you meet Cheng Gongting's soldiers, you will be fine. ”
Zhao Guanhou nodded, and thanked him a few times, it was getting late, and he couldn't move tonight, so he had to wait until tomorrow. The house was small and could not accommodate so many people, so the soldiers brought by Akdan were only temporarily dealt with for one night in the courtyard, and they were ready to leave tomorrow morning.
The weather was hot and humid, people's hearts were impetuous, and listening to the faint shouting and killing, the more uncomfortable the pressure on my chest became. Zhao Guanhou handed a cigarette to Wang Wu, "Fifth master, let's talk a few words?" ”
Wang Wu didn't answer the cigarette, "What is there to talk about?" As I said, this time it's a ten-grid favor, and it has nothing to do with Lord Zhao. ”
"I know, the fifth master is still blaming me in his heart, and he didn't help Uncle Tan. But look at it now, what the hell has become of Kyori. If Uncle Tan and their plan are implemented, killing their mothers with their sons, it will be difficult for the people to convince them, and when the time comes, the banners and Han will kill each other, and the attacks of the provinces will be inevitable, and the disaster will be more serious than today. Let's put down the far and say the near, you are a clear-eyed person, you can see the situation in Beijing, if you can't arrange it as soon as possible, chaos is right in front of you. You are a hero, so you are naturally not afraid. However, there is still a concern in you. Dozens of heroes on Banbi Street eat with you, they are not single, they have a family, you don't want to plan for them? ”
Wang Wu was dumbfounded, although he has a very clever art industry, plus he is very famous in the rivers and lakes. In the Flying Tiger Regiment, there are also many people in the martial arts, many of whom have old knowledge, but they are not afraid that they will be unfavorable to themselves. But now he doesn't agree with this kind of trouble, and he feels that the order is gradually collapsing, and when it is completely out of control, no matter who it is, it can't restrain their behavior.
If the foreigners retaliate, or the madness of the group people has reached the point where they don't recognize their old friends, he may not be afraid, but there are so many subordinates in the dart game, he can't help but consider it. This chief dart head wants to think about his subordinates and find a way out, and he can't watch their families suffer and do nothing.
Zhao Guanhou said: "When I go back to Shandong this time, I will find a way to contact the wagon, maybe there will not be many cars, but I can still take dozens of people's homes." If the fifth master doesn't dislike it, let your subordinates' families follow me to Shandong, Texas is my land, and I will settle them when I get there. ”
"These people are all martial artists, they don't have much money at home, and a group of people have left their hometowns, what do they do for a living?"
"Texas is a big wharf, and there is always someone to eat. Besides, if the friends of the martial arts are willing to go to Texas, they can still play a dart game. ”
Wang Wu sneered, "You say so, or is it the idea of beating Wang Wu's big knife?" Aren't you afraid, after I get to Texas, I'll take your head first? Or find Yuan Weiting to settle accounts? ”
Zhao Guanhou smiled slightly, "Fifth Master, you are an old Jianghu, why bother to say such a joke." Flying eaves and walking on the wall, the gods unknowingly took off the head of the six yangs of the governor of the Jiangchen Governor, do you believe this kind of thing yourself? Or, when did the Xinjiang ministers, who have thousands of armies in their hands, put one or two heroes in their hearts? Your big knife is famous on the green forest road, but in the army, you are just a brave man. I invite you, because I respect you for being a friend of righteousness, if you say that I covet your martial arts...... Then let's do it for the better. ”
There was no light in the courtyard, and Wang Wu's face was not clear, and after a while, he only sighed, "I'll say thank you for my brother first." You have too many thoughts, I can't figure it out, in short, I will let my subordinates go to Shandong with you, as for Wang...... I have this big knife in my hand, and I can go all over the world, whether it is the Flying Tiger Regiment or the foreigners, no one can do anything to me. Shandong...... I'm not going. Let's clear up our past grievances. (To be continued.) )
