Chapter Ninety-Five: Sending the Buddha to the West
Yuan Shikai sat in a large car, feeling the comfort brought by the rubber wheels and leaf springs, but his eyes did not forget to secretly observe the soldiers running on both sides.
He is a hundred distrusts of this armed force that calls itself "Russians". Not to mention that the Russian Maozi had no intention of directly intervening in the Sino-Japanese conflict, and in the current situation, Maozi was not capable of sending such a force to resist the Japanese. He still has this judgment.
But the equipment of these people doesn't make sense. Even if someone comes to disguise it, you can't make it the same from the inside out, from clothing to equipment, guns and whatever. In these years, people who have that ability don't need to take this risk to save themselves.
Who are they and what are they going to do?
Yuan Shikai couldn't think through anything. Because of the strict blockade of the Japanese army, for more than a day, he has completely cut off information exchange with the outside world, and he doesn't know that Dayuanjun was robbed by the fake Japanese army, otherwise he will definitely be able to guess some inside information.
Now, he can only rely on his own eyes to see, and his mind analyzes and judges. The more he looked at it, the more frightened he became--- how could there be such a terrible army in the world!
Since Yuan Shikai is known as the "man who knows the soldiers", he naturally has knowledge and ability, otherwise he would not have been able to make the famous Beiyang New Army. Of course, knowing people well is also one thing.
As far as the perception in front of him was concerned, he found that this fake hair led by Yang Hao was rare in his life! That is more than just a basic requirement of "order and prohibition". From beginning to end, Yang Hao did not issue a single word of the order, at most it was a gesture, and the people below understood the meaning and immediately executed it accurately.
This is a bit mysterious to say, so specific to the comprehensive table, starting from the outer yamen, to the west gate of the nearly two kilometers of the road, those soldiers have been running and fighting. The burden of each of them is not light, and the cooperation between the teams is extremely tacit, and often the platoon commander breaks off the drink, and even a small soldier can immediately respond.
The Japanese interception has not stopped, but no matter where they rush out, the soldiers who find the enemy situation can immediately make the correct feedback, and preemptively aim and shoot before the bullets arrive, or suppress the fire!
Yuan Shikai couldn't understand the advanced gadgets of light and heavy machine guns, but throwing grenades, killing with a single shot, quickly loading and aiming, calmness, and accurate speed all reflected the well-trained training of these people! From beginning to end, the Japanese army repeatedly attacked more than a dozen times, but it failed to stop their rapid advance by a single step, but instead left a lot of corpses along the way, suffering a big loss!
After running down for two kilometers, the guards of the foreign yamen were all gasping for breath, not to mention the Korean Confucian students, who simply rolled their eyes and turned blue, if it weren't for the cart dragging them, they would all have to fall on the spot. Looking at the fake Mao Zibing again, the atmosphere is not breathing, and they are all relaxed and steady, stopping and rising suddenly, without dragging mud and water!
In the long battle run, very few people spoke, and the officers gave orders, all of which were short and forceful, in addition, the silent battle and advance did not see how fanatical it was, let alone chaos, dozens of people cooperated as if they were one person, this skill, Yuan Shikai couldn't imagine how he could be trained!
He hoped that someone would come out to interrupt the rhythm, but unfortunately, until the west gate, the Korean soldiers had already heard the wind and fled, and the Japanese either could not catch up or could not stop them, and watched them rumble out and march towards the southwest river.
Seeing that the wall of Seoul had been left behind, and the pursuers were nowhere to be seen, the Qing guards, who had always been tired and accustomed to it, relapsed from their old problems, and cried out bitterly: "My mother! No, I can't run! ”
"Rest! If you don't stop for a while, Lao Tzu's lungs will burn! ”
"Big ...... My lord, shall we stop? It's really not going to happen! I can't stand it! ”
The guards held the chariot and complained repeatedly, and Yuan Shikai took the opportunity to beg Xu Yanzhuo: "Mr. Translator, do you think we should rest for a while?" The Japanese can't catch up, so let's discuss countermeasures. ”
Xu Yanzhuo's body bones were also trained with the infantry, but at this time, he was just panting a little faster, but it was far from the limit. Seeing the virtue of Yuan Shikai's subordinates, he pursed his lips with disdain and said coldly: "Lord Yuan's words are wrong, according to our intelligence, the Japanese army has at least more than 3,000 troops already drawn from Incheon, and it will only be a matter of a few hours when they arrive in Seoul!" In addition, they have more ships carrying more soldiers and are daring to come. If you want to get out of danger, you have to race against the clock! ”
"However, our people can't support it anymore."
"If you can't keep up, then stay here and wait to be stabbed to death by the Japanese with bayonets, and be killed as a target!"
Xu Yanzhuo's words were like a cold knife, poking into the hearts of a group of Qing soldiers, and the Korean Confucian scholars who were originally going to follow the incitement were suddenly speechless! Only then did they see clearly that the soldiers and horses in front of them were not those wronged bosses who followed them, and they had their own backbone!
They don't know that this force has been trained and instilled from the very beginning: "Strong people, never be kidnapped by a group of cowards!" Firm yourself in the right beliefs and save only those who are willing to follow along. ”
Since ancient times, countless cruel facts have proved that the ignorance and laziness of most people have formed a force that can drag heroes and strong people to death. If the actors are soft-hearted and forced by their words from the perspective of so-called moral justice, they will not only take their own lives, but also save the group of fools who think they are smart.
Just like now, Yuan Shikai and his subordinates, the group of Korean Confucian scholars, would subconsciously feel that since the other party had taken a great risk to rescue them, then some slightly excessive demands would definitely be satisfied. Then they have to inch in, a little bit of weight, and eventually they can be anti-customer-oriented. The commander commanded to continue to shed blood and sacrifice for them.
It's just that their wishful thinking can't be played at all here in Yang Hao. Xu Yanzhuo blocked the lines behind them with a word. Don't want to follow along? Then die and go.
When Yuan Shikai heard this, his heart was shocked, these people are not easy to fool!
A pen post relied on his identity as a flag man and a cronie next to Yuan Shikai, felt a bit weighty, twisted his eyebrows and rushed forward, shouting at the top of his voice: "How do you speak?" What is your identity, you dare to shout at our Lord Yuan? I told you, you think you will be merit if you help a little, but you say that if you don't leave, you have to wait, you know? ”
"Yes, that's it! The intestines of this run are going to be turned over, what's the matter, and unfortunately take a break? It doesn't make sense! ”
"Wait, wait, wait! I'm a grandma, this time I run, my lord has been on an errand for so many years, and he hasn't suffered such a big crime! I said, you guys in the big car, are you so good to carry? Let the gentlemen sit down and rest ....... ”
When these lazy Qing soldiers and officials saw that someone was taking the lead, they immediately made a noise, regardless of whether there were really soldiers chasing after them.
The corners of Xu Yanzhuo's mouth pulled down, and his cold gaze swept them around lightly, he didn't even bother to count, raised his hand lightly, and more than a dozen soldiers rushed over with their back molars, two of them, dragged this group of noisy bastards out of the crowd, threw them to the side of the road, picked up the rifle "horn horn", and killed them all on the spot!
This hand was done so quickly that Yuan Shikai, including Yuan Shikai, didn't react. It wasn't until they understood that those people were enlightened and their faces were still dead with an unbelievable expression, that they exploded in their heads, and they retreated back like ghosts, dumbfounded, and didn't dare to gasp!
What a murderous thing!
Yuan Shikai trembled with anger, for more than ten years, he had never seen someone so domineering and fierce in front of him, he didn't give face at all, and even his cronies under him would kill him if he said he would! Ruthless, decisive and domineering, what the is this!
However, he is a hero, and he can always calm down quickly, and his judgment of Yang Hao's gang is higher in his heart, and he has a lot of fears. These people are not good stubble at all, they can save people, they can kill people, they can't provoke!
Tang Shaoyi couldn't see it, and protested one after another: "How can you do this? They just complained a few words, and they didn't have to snatch the power of the army, so why should they be killed. ”
Xu Yanzhuo sneered: "Mr. Tang, you are a talented person, but you don't understand politics, let alone military affairs. It's not something you can mix in here. ”
Ignoring Tang Shaoyi's embarrassed and angry face, he turned his head and shouted at the silent crowd: "Who else wants to raise objections? That said, we will be satisfied at our discretion. ”
Satisfy a fart, probably the only end is to beat your head to a rotten mess and throw it into the stinky gutter, right?
They are all old oilmen who are accustomed to seeing the wind and rudder, and fools only pick them out to find ugly.
Yuan Shikai took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Translator, I would like you to tell Sir Thank you for his generosity and kindness in rescuing us from the Japanese siege. But now that we have left Seoul, we can walk the next road by ourselves, and we will not bother you too much. ”
Then he asked his entourage to fetch a thick stack of silver tickets and handed them over, and said with a forced smile: "A little yellow and white things, talk about thanks, and please say good words on your behalf." ”
Xu Yanzhuo stretched out his hand to take it, twisted it open, and saw that there were 10,000 taels! This shot is not stingy, just to pass a word, generous enough!
However, this is obviously not enough! Xu Yanzhuo handed it to the soldier next to him casually, and said with a smile: "Lord Yuan is polite." However, we have always paid attention to a good beginning and a good end, since we have saved people, we must send the Buddha to the west! In any case, it is necessary to send Lord Yuan back to the Qing Kingdom intact to do his best. Adults and don't be impatient, soon to the riverside! ”
