Chapter Twenty-Four: Angels of Purgatory
In the past two lives, Zhao Dongyun didn't feel that he was a good person, of course, he didn't think he was a big traitor, he was just an ordinary person, with his own likes and hates, and what he cared about or didn't care about, and he also had the selfishness that everyone has.
Since coming to this world, his character seems to have been more obvious, although Zhao Dongyun occasionally sighed in his heart about the fate of the country and wanted to save the country or something, but he commanded the troops to kill the unarmed homeless people without even blinking an eye. Although he also tried his best to climb up and control more power, he had no intention of betraying the country and the nation.
And what he did after coming to this era actually had little to do with the country and the nation, and when he was training the new army, he didn't think about the revolution and creating a republic every day, he spent a lot of thought on organizing and training the machine gun battalion of the new army, in order to control more power; The purpose of his coming to quell the rebellion is very pure and simple, that is, he is here to make meritorious contributions, and why should he make meritorious contributions, in order to control more power.
Even when he came to the rescue of this Pingxiang church today, he was not worried about the life or death of foreigners or the fact that the foreign powers would oppress this country and nation after the outbreak of the teaching case, his mind was actually very pure, that is, he did not want to be implicated in the death of foreigners.
From these perspectives, today's Zhao Dongyun is actually quite selfish!
Of course, that's how God sees him!
In reality, the people around him have very different views of him, in Duan Qirui's opinion, Zhao Dongyun is a junior with quite good ability, decisive personality, and very self-motivated. In Yuan Shikai's view, Zhao Dongyun is a subordinate with training potential and a certain ambition, but this ambition is something that Yuan Shikai can satisfy him.
In the eyes of colleagues of the younger generation, such as Cao Kun, Wang Zhanyuan and others, Zhao Dongyun is an aspiring soldier who wants to train the new army to serve the country.
Although these people have different views on Zhao Dongyun, they have never said that Zhao Dongyun is selfish and morally bad.
Because Zhao Dongyun will never tell them what he really thinks in his heart, nor will he do some ugly things in public!
However, today, the moment he saw this woman, Zhao Dongyun had an evil idea of tearing her clothes immediately, and when Zhao Dongyun came up with this thought, he didn't even think about what consequences he would cause if he did this.
At that moment, the woman in front of her induced the evil in Zhao Dongyun's heart!
"Your Excellency!" Wu Changlan was a little stunned when he saw his boss come in, so he hurriedly moved a small step to Zhao Dongyun's side and screamed softly.
At this time, Zhao Dongyun came to his senses, then took his eyes off the nun, and took a deep breath before saying, "What's the matter?" ”
Immediately, Wu Changlan explained in Zhao Dongyun's ear in a whisper.
It turned out that the soldiers who had just searched found that several parishioners were stealing the church's gold and silver utensils while they were in chaos, and they immediately stopped them, but when they tried to escape, the soldiers immediately shot to stop them, and after they caught these two people, they just interrogated them twice, and the two parishioners said something that had nothing to do with them.
The soldier interrogated in detail, only to find that these two parishioners were stealing chickens and dogs outside last night, and they forcibly ruined the yellow flower girl of a village family, and they were found chasing all the way to the church, and then Father Henry in the church shouted nonsense that everyone is God's people and sheltered the two parishioners, but the village family was willing to give up, and they came to the church with hundreds of boxers in less than half a day, and it didn't matter how the next thing happened. The important thing is that the bandits almost destroyed the church, killing Father Henry and twenty or thirty other people, including more than a dozen members of the county team who were sent by Guangzong County to protect the church.
The few remaining survived by hiding in the attic of the church, relying on large iron gates to keep the mob out.
After Zhao Dongyun led the army to disperse the mob, these people were saved, but the blood stains on the floor had not dried yet, and the two parishioners just wanted to steal some finances, and then leave this ghost place.
Zhao Dongyun listened to this slightly tortuous story, and he didn't have much feeling in his heart, most of the parishioners in these years are not good goods, because for normal Chinese people in this era, there are very few people who can join the church, at least among the people around Zhao Dongyun who know, whether it is a middle-level and high-level military and political dignitary or a low-level soldier, there is no Christian. The missionaries recruited some of the parishioners, except for some of the poor who could not survive, were some ruffians and hooligans.
And it is precisely because the missionaries indiscriminately recruited undesirable elements into the church, and these unscrupulous elements relied on the name of churches and foreigners to oppress the people, that there were so many ordinary people who opposed foreign religions, missionaries, and foreigners in the late Qing Dynasty.
The fact that so many missionaries were killed by the people in the country has a lot to do with the fact that they recruit bad people into the religion regardless of black and white, well, it has nothing to do with religion!
The two sectarians in front of him who kept begging for mercy were the most obvious examples, looking at them, Zhao Dongyun didn't think much of anything, and immediately gave Wu Changlan a look: "Escort them out to engage in military law!" ”
Unexpectedly, as soon as Zhao Dongyun finished speaking, the nun hurriedly took two steps forward and spread her hands to block in front of the two parishioners: "They are God's people, you can't take them away!" ”
The nun spread her hands, and the tears in her clothes were torn wider, so that a large patch of snow-white skin appeared on her chest, which seemed to be as rapid as the waves in the Atlantic Ocean, as if she had spoken more quickly.
Zhao Dongyun's gaze was once again involuntarily attracted by her chest!
And at this time, Wu Changlan and the others also opened their eyes wide, and one soldier couldn't even help swallowing his saliva, but Wu Changlan also saw Zhao Dongyun's distraction again at this time, and secretly said in his heart that this woman was so powerful that Zhao Dongyun lost his mind one after another.
The nun also seemed to be aware of Zhao Dongyun's distracted gaze, and immediately withdrew her hands and pulled her clothes, but her body still stood there and did not move away.
Zhao Dongyun secretly scolded himself in his heart, it's not that he hasn't seen a woman, why did he lose his mind one after another today, is the temptation of role-playing so great?
In the past two lives, there are many women who have seen women with better figures than the one in front of them, and there are also women whose looks are purer than her, but how can she let herself lose her mind one after another, what the hell!
Immediately, he looked away again, and then he didn't look at the woman, he turned around and was about to go out, seeing Zhao Dongyun do this, Wu Changlan immediately nodded to a few soldiers, and immediately those soldiers dragged the two people who had been scared like dead dogs out.
The nun wanted to stop it, but although she had God giving her faith in her heart, she was a weak woman in the end, and after she couldn't stop it, she bit her red lips, and immediately trotted out to catch up with Zhao Dongyun: "You can't do this, you have no right to take their lives!" ”
Zhao Dongyun slowed down slightly, so that the woman behind him could catch up, and only when the two of them walked parallel did he speak: "I can, and I have this right!" ”
The nun obviously didn't expect Zhao Dongyun to answer like this, and she was immediately stunned, and at this time, she didn't know what she tripped over, and the whole person fell down immediately.
In the next moment, screams resounded throughout the church hall, as if they were about to shake the huge cross in the center of the church down.
Zhao Dongyun stopped and glanced down: "Maybe these will make you change your mind about wanting to save them!" ”
At this time, the two were in the center of the church hall, and there were many corpses scattered on the long wooden chairs, including those who were mobs and people who were in the original church.
The nun struggled to her feet, and next to her feet was a corpse that had tripped over her just now, and at this time she was covered in blood, and even the pure face that had made Zhao Dongyun lose his mind was stained with a drop of blood.
Under normal circumstances, she should have looked terrifying at this time, but at this time, the light in the hall combined her white skin and red blood to produce a strange beauty, and the tattered nun's robe on her body gave her a unique flavor.
At this time, the headscarf that had been on her head was also loosened, and the night breeze blowing in from the broken window blew in, and the headscarf fell with the wind, and the three thousand green silks fluttered lightly, and the hair blurred her face, and a few traces seemed to be stained with blood on her face.
At this time, she is like an angel who has fallen into purgatory!
Zhao Dongyun, who looked at the scene in front of him, seemed to have forgotten his breath, this woman was so tempting!
Standing in place for a long time, he said, "I will escort them to Guangzong County so that they can get a fair trial!" ”
After saying that, he raised his steps again and went out, and the nun behind him also looked left and right, and the pile of corpses and blood all over the ground made her face pale, and she immediately hurriedly followed.
Zhao Dongyun looked at the nuns who came out behind him, and then looked at the expressions of the soldiers beside him who were secretly swallowing saliva, and immediately took off his tweed jacket with a thick frown: "Wear it first!" ”
He wasn't afraid that this woman was cold or anything, it was spring and summer, and the weather was very warm, and he just didn't like her skin to be exposed for others to see.
The nun hesitated at first, but when she saw a large group of soldiers looking at her with strange eyes, she immediately took it and put it on, and whispered, "Thank you!" ”
Zhao Dongyun said: "It seems that you can't live in this church, come back to the village with me first!" ”
