Zhili, Nangong.

The most imposing building in this county is the French Catholic Church at the east gate.

With stone walls, pointed roofs, and colorful windows, it covers an area of not more than seven or eight acres. It was completed in the fourth or fifth year of Guangxu. There are many foreign monks in the church, sometimes twenty or thirty, and when there are few, there are no less than ten. The common people could not distinguish between priests who belonged to the church and those who did not. Anyway, they are all called foreign monks.

Speaking of which, it really costs money for foreign monks to set up churches, and during the construction, they almost wrapped up the big and small workers in the surrounding counties. At the beginning, the local people watched the excitement every day, and the foreign monks were still kind, directing the construction at the construction site while greeting the people with a smile. Seeing someone pointing and smiling at them, they came over and didn't know what to say, and wherever they went, they immediately exploded.

When the church got up and the foreign devils preached, not many people cared about it at first. The ancestors can't worship it, who still enters the foreign religion? The imperial court is also not angry, and the territory of the Chinese actually let the devil fall into such a country!

The foreign monks preached on the streets every day, gave tea soup in the church, and said that they would see a doctor for free. When the big guys are free, they just look at the excitement from a distance, and no one pays attention to them if they are not free. Q: Why don't these foreign devils run around in the government? The government replied that there was a Laoshzi treaty, and they were invited by the emperor, so they couldn't take care of it.

In fact, the time for peace and quiet is not long. No matter how afraid and despised of the foreign monks, there is always a broken household greedy for food and drink, and he is tempted to make up for the foreign devils. Became one of the first congregants.

It is precisely because it is a gangster in a rural county town that everyone looks down on. These people can't change their ways when they become believers, and there are always some things like stealing chickens and dogs. Usually, when these guys made a mistake, as soon as they were sent to the yamen, the small board of three hundred Wu Bai was put down and put in a flail for another month. There are ways to clean them up............ But now it's not the case, and the common people can see that the foreign monk who is always kind looks at him is so domineering!

One by one, they wore robes and entered the yamen, one sentence on the left to teach the people, the right sentence to protect the treaty, and the one slapped the table and hit the bench. Then I saw the county magistrate bowing and sending out the foreign monks and those broken monks.

The government was not productive in front of foreign devils, and the momentum of foreign monks suddenly increased. At first, the gangsters ate foreign rice, but later it developed to the weak side of the clan fight, and they were wronged in the hands of the government............ Some of them didn't, and they all ate foreign rice. Not to mention that there are people who use this as a way to make money!

The foreign church has simply become a Taishang yamen, and the people eating foreign food are all decent. No matter how wide the road was, it was not enough for them to walk, so they almost jumped sideways. Eat and take cards, even extort people's property, and rely on the status of a church to fight a lawsuit, what can't you do? Even those who are of the first rank are just sheltered by the church, and their arrogance is different.

The foreign monks also turned a blind eye to these things, at least the expansion of the people was a merit that the eyes could see. The parishioners have benefited and donated more, and it is also a merit to ask for less money from above. is even more unscrupulous, simply teaming up with the people under his hands to cover the sky with one hand, and really regard himself as the emperor.

In the eighth year of Guangxu, Xiangjiao started an incident. It was the first time this church was burned, and as a result, the uprising was broken up early by the imperial court -- at that time, the Qing Dynasty still had considerable control over the local area through the two signboards of foreign affairs and self-improvement. Originally, it only burned down three or five houses in this church, and a few people died, but the imperial court cut off more than 30 heads outside the west gate of Nangong County!

Daotai personally came to make amends, and he also lost a lot of money!

Eight years after Guangxu, the church also began to build a wall, and foreign guns were hidden in the church. Not only foreign monks, but also foreign nuns came. More and more Catholics have joined the Church, and it has almost become a posture of a state within a state. In the most powerful years, it was no longer about joining the church to seek refuge, but about being kind and seeking not to be bullied by the people!

The people of Nangong have swelled to tens of thousands. Most of them are still trying to live a stable life. But even the core of the hundreds of people, but the arrogance is almost not even comparable to the county master of Nangong County!

The cause of incense education has always been continuous in this situation. Villages set up altars, Zhuang Zhuang practice boxing. Everyone's original intention is to seek self-preservation. If the government can't, then the people themselves will come. With the expansion of the power of the Xiangjiao around the beginning of the First Sino-Japanese War, the arrogance of the church was beaten down a lot, but it basically maintained a situation where the strength was evenly matched and the church could barely maintain it. With the increasing number of senior brothers, the parishioners, as well as the people who are close to the parishioners, have migrated to villages and courtyards closer to the church, and on the one hand, they are being exploited by the local parishioners, and on the other hand, they are watching the development of the incense sect with trepidation.

First Liu Kunyi, and later Tan Sitong. The local situation has not collapsed. A few days ago, it was said that the Zixiang Sect picked up troops, which involved part of the energy of the senior brothers. Fortunately, there was no big mess, and many low-level religious people have already enshrined the tablets of Liu Kunyi and Tan Sitong at home, hoping that the situation can be peaceful as soon as possible.

All this was on February 20 of the 22nd year of Guangxu. The consequences of decades of weakness of the imperial court, decades of loss of local ruling order, decades of hidden dangers buried by religious disputes, decades of contradictions caused by ulterior motives of the great powers, decades of painstaking management of the Xiangjiao, in this last days, with the crumbling struggle of various forces in the Yanjing court,............ Finally, the greatest chaos of the last days broke out!

This is also the ultimate consequence of the glorious Manchu Qing Dynasty, which spent more than 200 years and painstaking efforts to barbarize and ignorantize this once great civilization nation! The consequences of the national policy of blindly withdrawing and tolerating with the outside world, preferring outsiders to domestic slaves............ Who is still singing the praises of this cappella yetola?

Who is it to deceive, to deceive the heavens?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ on the hill three or five miles away outside the French church, more than a dozen strong men were standing on it, watching the lights of the church not far away. This hill has a large road into the city. Except for these few hills, the terrain is very gentle.

It was almost the time of the evening prayer in the church, and the lights came through the glass windows, reflecting the outline of the whole building, and it was very clear in the background of the dark sky.

The church is surrounded by high walls, and the entrance is still like a Chinese city wall, with a ditch and a drawbridge. The drawbridge had been pulled up, and at the other end of the ditch, some men were holding iron rulers and gathering in a heap to bake the fire.

Outside the ditch, one south and one north, are two villages. This is a village formed spontaneously by the parishioners of the Tobi Church over the past few decades, almost clinging to the church moat. The original buildings of the village were quite magnificent, with large brick houses. But now there are many shantytowns in these two small villages, which are from the recent refugees, some of whom are parishioners, and there are also local people who are related to the parishioners and have been on the list of ten types of maozi of the elder brothers. It was dark early, and the fleeing people rested early, and at night they could only see a large shadow of swarthy and unkempt huddled in one place, and occasionally a few dogs barked, straight into the cold night sky.

The big houses are still brightly lit, and these are the people who have eaten church meals for decades. I follow the church, and now I do evening prayers. Under the lights, you can faintly see people walking around in the yard. That's the people cleaning up.

Among the dozen or so men on the mountain, the black fat man was Senior Brother Cao who patted his chest in front of Yan Shuqin. I took a polished monocular, I don't know where I got it, and looked at it for a long time, and he scolded: "Fuck, it's really fucking moisturizing!" With all this effort, I don't know how much lamp oil to light up! We're stretching our waists now, and it's really worse than them! Just now, the sky was still bright, and Lao Tzu also saw a few little girls, wearing white coats, and they were smart! If you want to be pretty, you are filial, and you really can't raise it! ”

The people around him are not as leisurely as Senior Brother Cao, and there are constantly people running up and down. Behind the hill they were, it was already full of people standing in the darkness, and many more were coming from afar, and in the distance it was still a fiery dragon, and everyone was holding torches, and when they approached it, they extinguished the tools of the light at hand.

Nangong Wuguan and Nine Towns, dozens of miles of ground, a little famous incense altar, almost all gathered here!

Although I was instructed before I came, I tried my best to stay quiet. But with so many teams together, the camp was already chaotic. You are jumping in the cold wind and cursing quietly, why don't you do it. There was a buzz below. Fortunately, there are a few small hills in the way, or I would have drifted to the church earlier.

The team gathered more and more, and there were almost 10,000 people. More dragons are still heading here. The weapons of these teams were machetes and spears, and several four-petal muskets were inserted. A few elm cannons made of hollowed-out hardwood, tied with red ribbons, were placed on the ground. How many people gathered around to see and touch.

Senior Brother Cao's subordinates tried their best to maintain order, but they became more and more chaotic. If it goes on like this, this place will be full of vigor, and it will have to alarm the other side of the church!

The people at the bottom ran straight up, and just said: "Senior brother, the people are almost over, hurry up and start with fire!" ”

Every time he heard this, Senior Brother Cao was stunned: "Is there any incense altar in Yangzhuang?" There are no jugglers, such a high yard, who will climb into it? Everyone around him was so anxious that he jumped to his feet, but he couldn't do anything about Senior Brother Cao. He is the junior disciple of Venerable Yan, who has been spreading incense in southern Hebei for twenty years, and most of the senior brothers who come here are his apprentices, if it weren't for him, he wouldn't have been able to gather such a large team to come out!

After waiting for I don't know how long, there was a sudden boom from below: "The people from Yangzhuang are here!" God, wait any longer, freeze to death a brother-in-law............ Raise the fire! ”

Senior Brother Cao's subordinates hurriedly led the people from Yangzhuang up, and the leader turned out to be a young man in his twenties, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he cleaned up the profits. ran straight to Senior Brother Cao's side: "Master Cao, more than 200 people from Yangzhuang Xiangtan are here!" ”

Senior Brother Cao glared: "You missed the military plane!" ”

"So many ladders, so many poles, and monkeys, roosters, and dogs have to be picked up, all of which are carried by more than 200 of us, and we can't walk so fast even if we step on Hot Wheels!"

The young man's face was sweaty, and he replied nonchalantly. The two of them had only spoken a few words, and the villages around the church a few miles away seemed to have finally discovered the movement here, and they did not know where to start the chaos first, and then they saw the lights of the big houses quickly extinguished, and the figures ran around. The shouting rang out, and I didn't hear what I was shouting, but it was full of panic and fear, and it mingled into the night sky.

There was a shout over there, and there was a sudden chaos on this side, and many people lit torches without waiting for orders, and I don't know how many people rushed up the hill, and everyone tore their throats and screamed, and no one could hear what they were shouting.

The quiet night sky suddenly became turbulent and chaotic!

"Fuck, raise the fire! Let's raise the fire together! Noisy [***] hair! Senior Brother Cao and his subordinates around him were also messed up, jumping straight on the mountain, and he pulled the young man: "You fight the vanguard!" The red light shines behind you, fan the fan, recite the mantra to avoid fire and divide the sand, and the foreign cannon can't touch your body! Séance fire, burn devil churches, and light sky lanterns with foreign devils! The lifeless old mother came to the world to talk about merit, and I will give you the first credit! ”

The young man stomped his foot: "I've been waiting for the day of theorizing with foreign devils!" This [***] church has expanded its land and occupied the ancestral grave of our village, and I don't know where to bury it when I die! In order to fight for the grave, there are eight village masters who died in flail! I can't plant the land, I can only sell juggling, Master Cao, I'm going to leave it here today! ”

At this time, there was already a wave of chaos around the church, and the place was completely out of control. The elder brothers in each village shouted loudly, but who could still control it? Near the left and right of the mountain, all the torches were lit, the whole night sky was illuminated, and everyone opened their throats and stomped their feet desperately, as if they were crazy: "The lifeless old mother descends to the divine fire, the unborn old mother descends to the divine fire!" Let's boxers sit in the world! ”

Senior Brother Cao was already sweating, but he just pushed the young man: "Fight the vanguard, fight the vanguard!" ”

The young man stood on the hill and shouted: "Men of Yangzhuang, it's time for us to fight the vanguard!" It's time for revenge! "After shouting, he took the lead, grabbed a torch, waved it twice, and rushed straight down the mountain!

Behind the mountain, more than 200 men came out of the crowd, carrying ladders and long bamboo poles, and some people carried cages and dogs, and followed with a roar. Senior Brother Cao just shouted on the mountain: "The red light shines!" Red light shines! Wang Xiangu, you have eaten the fucking half moon oil cake for nothing! ”

In the crowd at the foot of the mountain, a chubby woman with little feet sat on a sliding pole, she was dressed in red, and she was wearing a xia veil in a nondescript manner, and shouted in a sharp voice: "Go on! The sand trick to avoid fire is in the mouth, and the foreign cannon and medicine go around. Huang shook the pu fan three times, and the sky descended on the fire to burn the ghost building! ”

She shouted, I don't know how many women screamed in response, and under the firelight, the red lantern in red clothes carried a basket in one hand and a fan in the other, and followed. As soon as the red light moved, the men gathered on the mountain behind the mountain were all red-eyed, and they rushed down like a broken embankment!

The crowd poured up towards the church, and the people guarding the drawbridge outside the church had already slipped away. In the two small villages of one south and one north, the sound of crying is also deafening!

Senior Brother Cao had already rushed over with his subordinates, and in the crowd, he and his henchmen tried their best to guide this chaotic team: "Open the Devil's Church!" Kill Ermaozi again, get straight to the point, under the seat of the childless old mother, we Nangong Xiangtan will make a fuss! ”

The 200 or so men who were in the vanguard rushed so fast that they ran madly on the road as if they were dying, when they saw that the torches in the vanguard had approached the trench and approached the front of the church. Ladders fell one after another, resting on the opposite ditch. Dozens of long bamboo poles also came in handy. Nangong Yangzhuang, originally relied on the boxing world of walking the rivers and lakes to sell juggling skills to eat, and dozens of young men climbed over with bamboo poles. The man who ran over the ladder held the cage, which was opened at this time, and from it came out the rooster monkey, with cotton rolls soaked in foreign oil tied to their tails. When it was lit, he rushed to the high wall, ready to throw the live fire ball in his hand. They also brought dozens of dogs, which were ready to climb over the wall into the courtyard and open the door, the same use was used, dozens of dogs lit and rushed straight into the church, the red light shone on the fan and then borrowed the wind to burn it!

Seeing that several live fire balls were thrown to the wall screaming, and those bamboo poles were also drawn, a young man in front, and two people in the back held poles, and they held the person in front of them straight to the wall. Seeing the sight in front of me, the people who rushed behind them, both men and women, made louder noises!

At this moment, dozens of black guns suddenly appeared on the wall, and suddenly they cracked, and some of them almost hit the chest of the person who came up holding the bamboo pole!

I saw in the firelight, the people hanging in front of the bamboo poles fell one after another. Some of the people who were about to throw the fire were also hit, and the lit roosters and monkeys in their hands were scurrying around, stained with their cotton jackets, and the people suddenly turned into bigger torches, screaming and jumping straight into the ditch with a little stagnant water.

The sound of the gunshot shook the crowd of people behind them, and I don't know how many voices sounded at the same time: "The red light shines on the fan!" Ziyao walks around! Recite the mantra of avoiding fire and dividing sand, and bless the pioneers! ”

Many of those red lights were still small feet, and they ran slowly, and at this time, they were set up by the people around them and rushed to the front. Before he could get to the front of the trench, the bullet came. At first, the women dressed in red were still muttering incantations to themselves, desperately fanning their fans, but they didn't come in handy, and they also screamed and were knocked down in rows. The crowd finally stopped, and retreated backwards in greater confusion, and the sliding pole on which Wang Xian Gu was sitting overturned in the crowd, and no one knew what her whereabouts were.

Senior Brother Cao saw the tide retreating in front of him, jumped to his feet and scolded, letting the several elm cannon charges that followed him fire. The man carrying the cannon put down his pick and ran, Senior Brother Cao and a few of his subordinates easily helped up a door, the gunpowder in it had already been loaded, and the cannon with broken copper and iron was so full that it was about to fall out. He ignored the ignition and opened fire, and with a bang, he knocked down the Xiangjiao boxers who were retreating backwards!

The crowd screamed, trampling on each other and desperately retreating, and Senior Brother Cao was finally backed away by a few loyal men. Only when we retreated to the foot of the mountain where we set off did everyone barely stop, and there was a sound of crying and shouting everywhere. Senior Brother Cao sat on a big stone and stared blankly at everything in front of him, I don't know how many people were crying and scolding him.

There was a sudden movement in the crowd, but several men with black ash and blood on their faces rushed over. The first person was the young man who was led by Yang Zhuang. Half of his body was covered with blood spots, and when he rushed to Senior Brother Cao, he grabbed his shirt: "The red light doesn't work!" It's useless to swallow the talisman! The foreign pill hits the body, goes in an eye, and comes out in a bowl! Our brother and uncle are ...... The surname Cao, you lose your life! ”

Senior Brother Cao was shaken a few times before he could react, looking at everyone angrily, he opened the young man's hand: "The foreign monk hid a woman's riding cloth in the church, and the menstrual blood dog blood smeared the walls all over the wall!" Break our law! Maybe there is still a dead man's refining array, and this has to invite Venerable Yan to come, so that he can break the method made by foreign devils! Today's hatred, the sky is above, the earth is below, my surname Cao will not take everyone to revenge, and I will not be a man! ”

He really did it, he slapped both of them, the nosebleeds came out, wiped it on his face, and knelt down: "Brothers, wow, the incompetence of the surname Cao can't break the witchcraft of foreign monks, I kowtow to you, I will wear filial piety for you!" As he spoke, he cried and kowtowed in the direction of the church.

There, there were still a few remnants of fire, and there were corpses on the ground in the ditch.

The shouts of the crowd subsided somewhat, and then shouted again: "Retreat, retreat!" You can't fight, wait for Venerable Yan to come and speak! ”

Senior Brother Cao jumped up with a bloody face, he originally patted his chest at Yan Shuqin, and the two churches in Nangong must go down. Today, we will first pick the largest French church and then hit the Belgian church in the city. But I didn't expect that the foreign devil had already hidden the foreign gun! If he disperses like this, how will he explain to Yan Shuqin?

“………… Burn Ermaozi first! In the foreign monk's church, it is full of menstrual blood offered by Ermao women, and it can't last a second time! Kill all the two maozi, and the foreign monk's church will be broken! If I can't kill Ermaozi's village house again, my surname Cao will die in front of everyone! ”

He waved his arms hoarsely and shouted loudly, walking around in front of the crowd: "............ Ermaozi's house village, after it is opened, let go of burning, let go of robbing! Whoever caught it was whoever! Foreign money, white flour, and women, all snatched to avenge the brethren! Everyone has gone through the knife, and the house has gone through the fire! A two-haired head can also be exchanged for one or two pieces of silver from Venerable Yan! We died so many brothers in vain? ”

The shouts of the retreating soldiers gradually stopped, and the big guys looked at each other with red eyes. Today, we have seen blood, and everyone is afraid of the foreign devil's church and can't open it. But the Ermaozi village that is not covered and blocked, but it is not necessarily that it can't gnaw without this tooth!

The young man who beat the vanguard snorted fiercely at Senior Brother Cao with a cold face: "You are a brute!" It's okay to fight foreign devils. That's all there is to it............ How many real two hairs are there? As long as the foreign devils fall, who won't recognize them? One man smashed them to death with one fist............ Every family is overheated, and everyone is over-stabbed............ That's 10,000 lives! Coax us up and fight the vanguard, where are you? Now you have to burn down the village, you might as well be a girl with a red light! It's a man's, and the idea is to find a foreign gun, and fight with the foreign devil one-on-one! How can you avenge this blood vendetta! Burn the village and slaughter the village, and get your mother's eggs! We are gentlemen, not brutes! ”

The young man turned and left: "Brothers, go back to Zhuangzi!" Dai filial piety to the uncles and brothers who died in the moment, smash pots and sell iron to collect guns, and report ............"

Before he finished speaking, a crisp sound of a foreign gun suddenly sounded behind him. The young man paused, looked at the blood stains that were slowly disappearing from his chest, and slowly looked back. I saw Senior Brother Cao, whose face was covered in blood, holding a six-wheeled foreign gun in his hand, and the muzzle of the gun was still emitting white smoke.

watched the young man fall without saying a word. Senior Brother Cao was already brandishing a six-wheeled pistol and shouted loudly: "We can't open the foreign church, it's these two hairs who are mixed with us!" Peel off his skin, and the bones are engraved with the talisman of a foreign monk! There is a kind, go to the village of Ermaozi with Lao Tzu! ”

Since ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ led troops into the city, Tan Sitong has been guarding the capital. Even the most important matter of training the new army was handed over to his officers. He was just in the capital, visiting the princes and ministers from house to house, and visiting the princes in power. Make amends, explain, and exhort them.

It's chaotic, it's really chaotic -- it's already reckless. He was struggling to maintain the fragile balance of the moment. Once it happens, it's blood all over the field!

He doesn't love stacks, he never loves stacks - as long as he digests the children of the Xiangjiao sect, he can pass this pass smoothly. As long as he has 50,000 reliable new troops in his hands. If you can help this Qing Dynasty take a breath more, you can avoid an unprecedented catastrophe for the people of the Northland! Swear by the gods of heaven and earth, if he Tan Sitong does not go to sea, the sky will thunder!

When Tan Si cut off the communication between China and foreign countries with the column, he acted brazenly. These princes and ministers were silent and never came out. Only a few Qingliu scholars stormed the cordon guarding the prime minister's yamen outside the Longzong Gate.

But when Tan Si came from the same family to persuade him, he picked up the shelf. The attitude is slightly better, which is the irony of neither yin nor yang. The attitude is almost almost, such as Zailan, who was almost scared to pee his pants, sat on the recliner with his feet crossed and said: "Ye is against your surname Tan to the end, what's the matter?" Do you want to cramp or peel the skin, you say a charter, and then you can do it! Even if you cut the master at the entrance of the vegetable market, you have to cut the master one less knife, and you Tan Si are also raised by the master! ”

There are even more nobles such as Wen Tingshi, etc., who don't even open the door, and don't want to say a word with Tan Sitong.

He can't kill and he doesn't dare to kill. Once the blood is seen, the little authority that is barely left in this center will completely collapse! He has lost any moral name, and he can't even lead the so-called new army under his command!

Every day, it was not until late at night that Tan Sitong could return to the prime minister's yamen and try to sleep for three or two hours. But he tossed and turned, and finally couldn't sleep.

Did he do something wrong? Or is there no way out for any improvement that relies on the Qing Dynasty, the imperial court?

Everyone is scrambling to be the first, desperately trying to get this last way out. They only see the power and these soldiers in his hands now, but they can't see the catastrophe, but they can't see the disaster coming!

I was wrong, Brother Chuanqing............ That's right.

This night, he still just set up a bunk in the prime minister's yamen, leaning on the bunk and listening to the crows in the Forbidden City at night with his eyes open. The night has already been handed over four watches, and it won't be long before it's a new day............ Suddenly the sound of footsteps sounded outside the door, hurried and chaotic. Tan Sitong just leaned there blankly, he was exhausted, and he couldn't think of anything.

The door was pushed open, and the light of the two lanterns shone in. The two people who rushed into the house were Lin Xu and Yang Shenxiu. Lin Xu is young and energetic, and is mainly responsible for the communication and transmission of news in the Nanyuan Barracks in and outside the city. Yang Shenxiu was born in Jinshi, he was a good friend of Tan Sitong in Beijing, and he was also Qingliu, and he was also scolded the worst by Qingliu's peers when he followed Tan Sitong. He is basically Tan Sitong's biggest assistant in the capital, except for public security, and he is also in charge of Tan Sitong's secretary, exchanging news and telegrams, and he is the first to arrive here.

Both of them had solemn faces, watching Tan Sitong sitting there, Lin Xu waved his hand to let people light up the lights in the room, and waved them to retreat and close the door tightly. Yang Shenxiu sat next to Tan Sitong: "............ Resurrection, chaos ......"

Tan Sitong did not answer.

Yang Shenxiu was stunned, but Lin Xu came over and grabbed Tan Sitong's shoulder: "Resurrection!" The incense sect is in chaos! ”

Tan Sitong heard a few words, but he couldn't form meaningful words in his head. Just sit there and don't move. Lin Xu and Yang Shenxiu glanced at each other and amplified their voices: "Nangong County urgently entered Beijing, and tens of thousands of people from the Xiangjiao sect besieged the French Catholic Church in the south of the city, and after being beaten back, they set fire to the villages in the south of the city, killing people and killing Yingye, all calling to kill Ermaozi, first here, and then entering Beijing to kill the leader of Ermaozi - it is Tan Fusheng you!" The situation we have worked so hard to maintain has finally collapsed! ”

Tan Sitong finally understood the voice that seemed to be coming from a long distance. He wanted to jump up, he wanted to yell, he wanted to smash things, he wanted to go to Nanyuan to stabilize the army's heart, and he wanted to solve this matter quickly. But I don't know why, I just can't move for a while. In the end, you can only close your eyes.

“………… Brother Chuanqing, I won't be able to last long............ I know you'd like to see chaos in the Northlands, and wait until the most favorable time to clean things up. The Northland Hub will turn to ashes for your final step in your reversible seizure...... But Brother Chuanqing, I really can't last long! You have to be there in time! ”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Xu Yifan was also woken up in his sleep. Chen De carried a lantern and guarded the sleepy-eyed him from the inner house to the signing room of the Supervision Office, and his secretary, Zhang Peilun, who was responsible for receiving the two telegrams of Sheng Xuanhuai and Chu Wanli, was already waiting there with a serious face.

“………… Dashuai, Xingsun Tianjin Emergency. The north is in turmoil, and tens of thousands of incense sects in the south are in turmoil. Siege of the Catholic Church of France............ We've finally arrived! ”

Xu Yifan felt a little sleepy in his mind, and suddenly he didn't know where he had gone, so he snatched the copy newspaper in Zhang Peilun's hand and read it at a glance.

Zhang Peilun smiled faintly beside him: "The overall situation is decided......... The Northland is bound to be in turmoil. Tan Fusheng naturally wanted to leave the capital and transfer troops to suppress the chaos of the Xiangjiao............ However, how could Yanjing City be separated from him? His more than 10,000 soldiers, and the children of the Xiangjiao who had just entered the camp on guard-can't they be disbanded rashly, and then add more than 10,000 strong to the Xiangjiao? I have to go around to quell the chaos, how can I dispatch it? The princes and ministers who opposed him in Beijing would inevitably contact the Xiangjiao to restrain Tan's resurrection............ Once the incense sect enters Beijing, more than 200 years of the Qing Dynasty will come to an end! When the time comes, it will be the time for the handsome to go north! When the time comes, Dashuai will be the only one at home and abroad who can clean up the situation! The capital is full of people, and it will no longer be a threat! ”

Xu Yifan's voice was cold and thin, and he just said softly: "Wait for the Xiangjiao to enter Yanjing City, and then I will go north after killing it?" To be a savior? ”

Zhang Peilun was stunned: "Handsome! If you want to achieve great things, what are the small details? This is the road to seizure, but this is only the last step, isn't this also the best result that the commander secretly exerts his strength? If the north land does not completely collapse, the commander must not go north! ”

Xu Yifan put down the newspaper in his hand, and his face was dull: "............ Well, you're right. This is also the result of my creation, and it is ideal............ I'll go sleep and fuck for a while, as you say, wait a minute, and see again......"

Zhang Peilun wanted to smile again to ease the atmosphere that suddenly became tense for some reason, but found that he couldn't laugh anymore, so he could only reluctantly give up: "Dashuai, if I am not mistaken, the chaos in the north will be reported one after another............ And the governor of the world will finally understand the situation, and dare to speak, starting from tomorrow, the telegram of the governor of the world officially expressing his heart will be on the desk of the handsome! ”

Xu Yifan walked towards the door with his hands in his hands, and when he heard this, he looked back at Zhang Peilun: "Youqiao, you say, will there be a telegram of resurrection here?" ”
