The people of Tsumen just watched a good show a few months ago.

At that time, Ye Zhichao led the first batch of troops to fight in Goryeo, and when the team set out, the streets were full of crying fathers and mothers, and those who didn't know thought they were holding a large-scale funeral on an unprecedented scale.

Those officers and soldiers, none of them felt any glory, as if they were going to die, and they were sad and listless. Seriously, they all looked confused, dragging heavy footsteps like sleepwalking on board. On the shore, there was a reluctant farewell and mourning, and it was estimated that even the coffin paper money was ready.

This is such an army, and it took a large amount of military salaries that Li Hongzhang had managed to raise, and some of them were desperate on the battlefield. But more than that, under the leadership of an officer like Ye Zhichao, who spared his life, he was defeated again and again from Asan, and kept moving in, and he insisted on traveling more than half of the 3,000 miles of rivers and mountains in Goryeo, and ran back to his hometown in Liaodong.

So what a group of people can do, it is estimated that ordinary people are too lazy to guess.

But today, they came to see the excitement with the same interest, but they saw a completely different army. There are only 3,000 people, but they exude an unstoppable fighting spirit. Every young face flashes only a passionate yearning for the country.

Their uniform steps, their resolute stride towards the ferry, did not look like they were going to engage in an unprecedented battle of life and death. It's more like going to a long-awaited feast, where they will shine their own light and create a legend.

This kind of sensory stimulation that goes straight to the hearts of the people makes the onlookers really can't afford the tragedy of "the wind is sluggish and the water is cold", and they can't help it. They actually began to look forward to victory on the battlefield in the distance.

Since the start of the Sino-Japanese war. Successive defeats of the North Director zhì's various frustration and helplessness. It seems that from this group of young people, a way of catharsis and liberation can be found. Even just looking at their silent figures is enough to make people feel an unprecedented sense of comfort from the depths of their hearts.

Hugh said that the people are not patriotic, they just don't have that clear self-awareness.

The pride and self-esteem of Haohao China, which has been integrated into the blood and bone marrow of the Chinese, has actually been secretly affecting everyone's mood. If this were not the case, it would not have burst out so fiercely after the defeat of the war with such a fierce patriotic fervor for saving the country.

No one is willing to be a slave to the country, and the Chinese people have never lacked consciousness. They just don't have the opportunity to express it.

Now, when Yang Hao's declaration spread everywhere, the loud shouts shook the four fields, and tens of thousands of onlookers burst into fierce cheers after a short silence!

"They're all good guys! Good man, enough of a kind! ”

"This is what the army should look like, we still have real men and real men in China! Boss Yang, we support you! ”

"Well said. Kill little Japan, out of this bird breath! ”

"The officers and men are not angry. Let's stand up! Let those big and small foreigners see, we Chinese, not easy to mess with! ”

"Work harder, fight him in a beautiful battle, and go back to you to lead the horse and stirrup!"

The shouts of chaos spread one after another, from the county seat to the concession. Countless people stood up the embankment along the riverbank, watching as a steamboat rolled up the murky water and ran downstream.

Li Hongzhang and a group of officials stood on the side of the pier, watching the crowd gather more and more with expressionless eyes. The Taoist of Tianjin Yamen was sweating profusely, and whispered to him anxiously: "Fu Xiang, do you want to transfer some soldiers and horses to stop everyone?" It doesn't look like a thing! ”

The officers and soldiers went out to fight like the funeral of the dead father and mother, and they were all coaxing and watching jokes.

Now a group of unjustifiable local armed forces are going to fight, and they are actually winning applause from the audience! Those who don't know still think that they are Zhengshuo, so what will the court think if they know about it?

Li Hongzhang said coldly: "Just watch them and don't make trouble, don't worry about the rest!" ”

The Taoist suddenly remembered that it seemed that the ruler of this army was the eldest prince Li Jingfang! People cheered and applauded, so there is also the brilliance of the eldest son, isn't it? Why is he mentioning yì here, tearing down the stage?!

His heart suddenly burst out, and he was scared into a layer of sweat, and after these two tosses, he was bound to have a minor illness when he turned back.

Luo Fenglu, the secretary next to him, reminded: "Fu Xiang, the Yang family is so fanfare, and it clearly has the intention of inviting people to buy people's hearts, which is indeed a little inappropriate. Can you arrange it in advance, control public opinion a little, and don't make a big move out of control? ”

Li Hongzhang twisted his beard with his fingers: "No need." Sometimes one more person can make things clear. The sky can't fall yet, let him toss. ”

Luo Fenglu frowned, but quickly figured out the intention.

Yes, before the court, everyone in the court openly and secretly pinned the responsibility of resisting Japan on Li Hongzhang, as if he had to bear all the safety of the country. If you win, you should be, and if you lose, you will become the biggest sinner in the world.

This is unreasonable in the first place, a national war, which is a major event related to the honor and disgrace of a country, how can it be handled so absurdly? However, Li Hongzhang can't say it clearly at all, and the political enemies of the DPRK and China, the world's corporal Lin, seem to have recognized this truth. He didn't want to be a sinner for the ages, but he wouldn't be able to.

At this time, Yang Hao stood up and used a series of words to explain the significance of the national war and the responsibilities of all strata in the world. It was a major matter that had a bearing on every citizen, and it was not only unfair to deal with it in this way, but it also seemed that the group of people who were talking about it and those who were indifferent to the bystanders were not like it.

This is tantamount to sharing the pressure on Li Hongzhang, and although it does not make the political enemies of the DPRK and China change their minds, the arguments in public opinion are much better. For a scholar who cherishes fame more than a qiē, Li Hongzhang is very grateful in his heart.

Today, Yang Hao uses personal demonstration to practice the obligations and missions that must be undertaken as a citizen of a civilized country. The 3,000 soldiers marched out on the march, and as a representative of China's entry into the era of civilization, they were the first to take the lead and set an example.

The significance of it is too great to overstate.

With the atmosphere and influence of public opinion cultivated in more than half a year, Yang Hao's speech on "the state, nation, rights, and obligations" today will surely affect millions of people, or even more. As long as they play well in the next battle and turn the tide, his popularity will surpass that of countless contemporary so-called Qingliu leaders and gather a large crowd of followers.

This is a clear invitation to buy people's hearts and gather people's hope. In Western countries, it is clearly the rhythm of becoming a political leader. In China, this is a rebellion!

"He's demonstrating. Show the power of the imperial court, further test the attitude of the imperial court, stir up the situation, and interfere with the audio-visual. If it is not controlled, it will become a completely new force. Small is enough to sway public opinion, and big may even shake the world and threaten the rule of the imperial court. Hmph, what a guts! ”

Another group of people watching from the sideways were clearly representatives of the Qingliu group from the imperial court. Wen Tingshi, headed by Wen Tingshi, is one of the "Six Sons of Wengmen", and is the current emperor's attendant bachelor.

Among the young generation of elites of the imperial party, he is extremely prominent, and he is even more respected by Emperor Guangxu. Today, he came to observe the enemy situation with many heavy responsibilities, heard Yang Hao's speech, and saw all kinds of expressions in front of him, he couldn't help but feel indignant, and almost shouted.

"If it is not restrained, this person must be a thief! Hmph, I thought he was also a progressive person with the world in mind, but I couldn't imagine that the wolf's ambition was so far, it was crazy. ”

Another person next to him also spoke indignantly, his name was Kang Youwei. This year, he began to compile the book "Axioms of Mankind", and unexpectedly drafted an outline, wrote a beginning, and bumped into Yang Hao serialized and published a series of articles in "Guowen Daily". The discourse on civilized countries, the concepts of Chinese civilization, the Chinese nation, and China, and the rights and obligations of the regime, class, and citizens of civilized countries in the future are many times more credible than his utopian "Datong world".

What's more, Yang Hao even got out the educational books from low to high, and distributed them legally and illegally through various channels, which caused great repercussions in Shilin.

Today, Yang Hao personally practices his responsibilities as a civilized citizen, and it is easier for him to win the support of the people than his group of talkers.

This is tantamount to cutting off his path of progress through articles and speeches. Cutting off people's futures is like killing their parents, this big hatred, Kang Youwei, who is consciously a Qingliu faction, must be avenged.

Wen Tingshi nodded approvingly at him: "Guangsha can see it very clearly." It's better for you to draw up a recital, elaborate on the various dangers of the Yang family, and the foolish brother can also submit it, maybe you can enter the eyes of the saint. ”

Kang Youwei was so overjoyed that he almost knelt on the ground and kowtowed to this Qingliu who was only two years older than himself, but had become a close minister of the Son of Heaven! This is a great thing, as long as his article is read to the emperor, he will be admitted to the Jinshi in the coming year, and a good future is just around the corner!

Of course, Kang is used to pretending to be a gentleman, and he arched his hand with a righteous face: "This is the right thing for the saint and the imperial court, how dare you not do your best?" ”

Wen Tingshi smiled and nodded with satisfaction with a group of Qingliu officials, thinking that his attitude was very reliable.

Kang Youwei's rich face glowed red, and he looked at Yang Hao's tall and majestic body in military uniform, and secretly ruthless: "After you lose the battle, let's see how Kang makes you stink for 10,000 years!" Hmph, do you really think that the Japanese are so easy to fight? ”

He even immediately thought of more than a dozen charges in his heart, and expanded it with this as an outline, at least a big article of tens of thousands of words. Yang Hao will definitely become the first super-sized stepping stone for him to step on the political arena!

In the crowd, Sun Wen and Lu Haodong watched Yang Hao silently until he finally said goodbye and boarded the boat. Sun Wen sighed leisurely: "Yang Dingshi has already started to act, and we must also speed up." In this world, how can we miss the figure of our four great friends? ”

Lu Haodong laughed, turned around with him and left. (To be continued......)
