Chapter 6: Becoming a God in the World (2)
Although he was a standard soldier and had proven his loyalty and courage in the First Sino-Japanese War, Nie Shicheng still had his own position.
A few months ago, Nie Shicheng was ordered to protect the Lubao and Beijing-Tianjin railways. The Boxers burned down the Huangcun Railway, and the Nie Army team went to stop it, but was met by the Boxers, wounding dozens of people. After the Boxers destroyed the Langfang railway tracks with 3,000 people, Nie Shicheng led the army to go and was attacked by the Boxers, and the Nie army fought back and killed 500 Boxers. At that time, Wang Zaiyi, the university scholar Gangyi and others issued an order to severely punish Shicheng. Yulu, the governor of Zhili, ordered Nie Shicheng to return to Lutai, and Nie Shicheng led the army back to Tianjin. At that time, there were more than 20,000 Boxers in Tianjin, and they often killed the soldiers of the Armed Guards, Nie Shicheng did not dare to resist, but the feud between the Nie Army and the Boxers was deeper.
Rong Lu, the minister of military aircraft, was afraid of the mutiny of the Nie army, and wrote a letter to comfort Nie Shicheng, saying that the military uniform of the Wuwei Army was westernized and easy to be misunderstood. Nie Shicheng replied: "The boxers harm the people and will bring harm to the country." A certain commander is directly subordinate, there are bandits in the territory, and he can't be suppressed, so what? If you are killed by the bandits, you will not dare to resign. ”
Therefore, Nie Shicheng had a very bad sense of the Boxers. He is not Cao Cao's kind of hero who dares to incorporate hundreds of thousands of Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army. Even Yuan Shikai, who was known as a thief in later generations, did not dare to do such a thing. Although it was said that the end of the Qing Dynasty was to the point where the Honkai Dao was pushed and collapsed, after all, everyone had not yet started the warlord melee naked. There are many things they can't say or do.
Therefore, Nie Shicheng, who couldn't go through the road of annexing the Boxers, was left with only the road of "suppression". However, do you really want to stab those people in the back when you are fighting fiercely with foreigners?
The previous fight with each other can be said to be friction, and if you still have this hand in the war
"My lord," the generals who saw that Nie Shicheng had already moved forward and said, "The boxers are so hateful, they must be beaten down with arrogance, and let them know whose territory is in this Tianjin City!." ”
Maybe it was the grudge of the past, maybe it was the persuasion of the generals, or someone in the court made a promise to him, and Nie Shicheng made a decision. Later, some people said that it took a long time to make this decision, while others said that it took almost no time, and the decision was made immediately. Anyway, what the world finally knew was that at the moment of the great enemy, Nie Shicheng's troops withdrew from the front line of fighting the foreigners and began to hunt down the Boxer soldiers near Tianjin.
The gunshots that rang out behind him made Zhang Decheng feel very bad, was it the foreigners who went around the back to cut off our retreat? Still is
A wounded Boxer stumbled to the assembly of Zhang Decheng's troops, who were temporarily resting, and said in a sad and indignant voice: "Great leader, Qing army Qing army"
"What's wrong with the Qing army?" Zhang Decheng calmed down and asked, "Their defense line collapsed, and then the foreigners came around from behind, didn't they?" ”
"Big leader", the man who was still bleeding said angrily: "The Qing army has attacked like us!" ”
"What?!" Zhang Decheng's figure shook for a while, and then he grabbed the messenger's shirt and asked sharply, "Where is Nie Shicheng?" Didn't he restrain the actions of the Qing army? What about the people we planted in the Qing army? Why didn't they report it either? ”
"The one who started was Nie Shicheng! It was he who personally brought people to beat us! ”
"Humph!" Zhang Decheng let go of his hand, there was a strong enemy in front of him, and there were interceptions in the back, he was really in a place of death. However, do you think that this will kill me Zhang Decheng? If you want to take my head, it depends on whether you have the ability to do it!
"Panic what!" He loudly scolded his subordinates who seemed a little flustered after hearing the bad news, and said loudly: "It's just the Qing army, let's go back and kill them all first, and then come to fight the foreign devils to the death!" ”
"Yes!" Seeing Zhang Decheng like this, those subordinates who were already convinced of him were also a lot more relieved. What's so scary, as long as you follow the big boss, you will definitely be able to defeat the enemy.
"Hey, this script is wrong," the girl naturally saw the chaos in the back of the Boxers, and she said to Chen Cheng: "Is this going to kill each other?" While fighting enemies stronger than them? ”
"It seems that this is the case," Chen Cheng spread his hands, "You know, we have a lot of eyeliner in the Boxers, and the Boxers have a lot of spies in the Qing army, to be precise, in the old-fashioned Qing army, so we haven't talked much about it, and we have expected this situation." But I really didn't expect them to actually do that, this is true. ”
"What is it?"
"What a job you did!" Chen Cheng's tone was not full of disdain, but full of admiration.
“?”
"If we look at it from the perspective of fighting against the foreigners, the choice of those people, including those who are behind the scenes, is naturally too bad to be bad, but if you look at it from the perspective of preserving their own strength, from maintaining their own power and fighting against the surging Boxer forces in the north, this is a brilliant plan!"
"Hmm," the girl tilted her head and thought for a while, then asked, "Yuan Shikai?" ”
"Yes, he also got a kick in there. Two weeks ago, news came from Shandong that Wang Shizhen and Duan Qirui, the generals under Yuan Shikai, had set off for Hebei. ”
"Hmph, I guess they're probably in the vicinity of Tianjin right now." Lin Mengchu looked around, "You are in charge of intelligence, didn't you find out where they lived?" “
"This," Chen Cheng turned his gaze away, "this world is a little different from what we imagined. ”
"So what?" The girl asked sharply, "Are you trying to tell me that the world has begun to fall apart?" ”
"The damage is still not that serious," Chen Cheng pondered for a moment and said, "As far as I can see, a lot of supernatural forces began to appear in this world a few decades ago. ”
"Supernatural powers? Do you mean a master like us? His Excellency Lin Mengchu was interested.
"Well, not quite. At first, those supernatural powers could only use telekinesis to break chopsticks or send a small fireball or something, but then the strength of supernatural powers became more and more intense, and gradually prophets, telepathy or something appeared, and it is said that many people in Europe claimed to have seen monsters like werewolves and vampires. ”
"So our arrival is not accidental?" The girl said thoughtfully, "Maybe there are many more people like us." Well, have you ever received a message like ours? ”
"There are some truths that are difficult to distinguish between true and false, and they still need to be verified." Chen Cheng replied, "Judging from the information collected in the Strategy Mansion, the upper limit of the energy intensity of this world and the individual strength that can be accommodated is constantly rising! ”
"Oh, that's funny!" The girl said this, which was expected by Chen Cheng.
