Yan Fu's gloomy face was like a thunderstorm, and his steps to move forward were strong and powerful, turning a blind eye to the guns raised by hundreds of Qing soldiers, and holding his head high until he was in front of Delin.

Hundreds of scholars in long robes stood behind him, their eyes shining so brightly that the soldiers who were looking at them did not even dare to confront them, and even their guns could not hold their guns steadily, and they hesitated to lower them.

Yan Fu stared at Delin, and his voice was like thunder: "Who, let you do this!" ”

Delin felt an unpredictable coercion rushing towards him, as if facing a high-ranking prince and a minister, his chest was stuffy, and his face flushed.

But he was the general who led the troops, and the green tendons on his neck collapsed, and he squinted and asked, "Who are you?!" Do you know that blocking the arrest and infringement of the officials and soldiers is a big crime of stealing the family and destroying the ancestors! ”

"I, Yan Fu!"

"Huh?! Strict! This....... ”

Delin's head buzzed. Who is Yan Fu? For example, the most well-known person today is probably him, the editor-in-chief of the "National News Daily", and his articles are in almost every issue of the newspaper. The books he translated were regarded as classics by countless young students, and in terms of limelight, they were so inferior to Yang Hao, but they were much stronger than other contemporary literati.

Such a big bull, although he is temporarily in the field and has not been admitted to the Jinshi, his name has already reached the ears of the emperor. If it weren't for some of his remarks, which are not very consistent with the contemporary Qingliu and the post-party, I am afraid that he would have been promoted to become the leader of the group.

Delin glanced at the group of scholars behind him, barely squeezed out a smile that was more ugly than crying, and stammered: "It turned out to be Mr. Yan!" I wonder why you're here? We're at war. Do you want to find a place to avoid first? ”

Yan Fu said: "Where to avoid?" Let me ask you, do you know what this place is? ”

"American Concession!" Delin replied stiffly. I vaguely felt that something was wrong.

Yan Fu's voice suddenly tripled: "Then do you know that you are attacking the concession without authorization." It's like declaring war with the United States?! Do you want the imperial court to add a powerful enemy of the world's first rank outside of Japan? Can you afford that?! ”

The feeling of being cheated in Delin's heart was even stronger.

He also knew a rough idea of how powerful the United States was, and it was the world's largest economic power. Although the navy is not good at the moment, as long as people are willing, they can take out tens of millions of hundreds of millions of warships to build large warships, and then the Great Qing Kingdom will not even have a chance to resist.

But now he can't admit it, and said with a bitter face: "Ben will just act according to orders...... Besides, isn't this also with the consent of the Americans? ”

Yan Fu sneered: "They wrote it on paper for you?" ”

Terms written in black and white can break the contract, let alone just pay lip service. More than ever, Delin hated the court officials. What the hell are you guys calling this, you're dead!

He was speechless, Yan Fu didn't want to talk nonsense with such a stupid person who was selected to be the head of the gun, his eyes looked around all the soldiers, and said loudly: "When the country is in danger, there must be no more disputes over diplomatic relations. If you don't want to invite the catastrophe of the destruction of the country and the destruction of the family, don't use the sword again! ”

Turning his head, he waved vigorously at the group of scholars and students: "I'll wait here to see if they have the courage to step past us!" ”

"Follow your orders!"

Hundreds of young people responded in unison. Immediately, in the parking lot outside the concession gate, there were blood stains on the corpses all over the ground, and they were not afraid to block the way.

This change. Countless onlookers couldn't react. However, most of them also knew the relationship between Yan Fu and Yang Hao, and most people thought that he was helping Yang to resist the imperial court.

The Qingliu who watched the bustle in the British Concession knew it well. Yan Fu's stance is actually more inclined to the reformists, and the central idea is still to inspire the people. Reform the government, but there is absolutely no intention of rebellion.

Now Yan Fu is blocking the road. The intention is to take into account the overall situation. After all, with his understanding of the diplomacy of the countries and his understanding of the nature of the great powers, he would never believe that they were so kind, and in order to let the imperial court destroy the power of the Yang clan, he let it attack the concession. That's a big mess.

In the crowd, Wen Tingshi, who had been watching in the shadows, stood up with a sigh and nodded to everyone: "I'll go and persuade him." ”

On the other side, a bunch of foreigners couldn't understand it, and asked puzzledly: "That group of people doesn't seem to have any combat effectiveness at all, why do they dare to ignore the guns and frighten the general who leads the troops with a few words?" ”

Bao Shide explained with a wry smile: "The leader is a very famous scholar in the whole of China, and he can be valued even if he stands in front of the emperor. And those young people are students who will take the imperial examination next year. In layman's terms, they are already reserve officers. You know, even in the British Empire, not a single general would dare to offend a guy who was about to become a parliamentarian. ”

Everyone suddenly realized, and at the same time, they shook their heads and felt incredible. If a group of future officials come up to stop it, then it may be difficult to do this today.

Bowshide sighed, it seems that the chances of their plan failing have increased greatly!

British diplomats in the Far East have been trying to annex the American Concession, and now there is a complex of the most luxurious and advanced buildings in the Far East that is about to be built. As long as Yang Hao is killed, Britain will be able to obtain a Far Eastern city base comparable to London without much effort, and the benefits contained in it are immeasurable.

And with the good deeds of eliminating the British Empire's rivals in the Far East and preventing them from mastering China's innovative power, they were able to take the plunge.

But now it seems that it is not easy to achieve.

Wen Tingshi soon came to the front of the American Concession, although it was casual clothes, the arrogant temperament of entering and leaving the court as a close minister of the emperor was overflowing.

Yan Fu knew him, and the two were about the same age. In terms of career, it is a world of difference.

However, the world has changed over time, and in terms of reputation, Yan Fu is now above everyone. Wen Tingshi was in a hurry to solve the problem. took the initiative to greet first: "I don't want to meet with a few brothers in such a situation today." ”

Yan replied with a polite salute, and said lightly: "It turned out to be a bachelor of arts." Today's event is probably a plan between you and a few adults in the court, right? Do you know how to treat patriots like this? Will it chill the hearts of the loyal and brave people in the world? In the face of national crisis, who can stand up and resist a strong enemy? ”

Wen Tingshi did not hide it, and said calmly: "The Yang family's unsubdued heart is obvious, but I don't know which country he loves." Such troubles of the court's henchmen must be eliminated. Mr. Yan, there is no shortage of loyal ministers and filial sons in the Qing Dynasty. As long as we assist the Holy Son of Heaven to make great efforts to govern and reform the government, what is the difficulty of the great cause of Zhongxing? Even if there is an enemy from outside, we can keep the enemy from the outside! ”

Changed to a year ago. Yan Fu may really be fooled by him. But now he saw it more clearly than anyone else, and immediately sneered: "Since the twenty years of Daoguang, foreign enemies have repeatedly invaded, but I only see the Manchu Dynasty talking loudly, and I don't see anyone daring to fight the battlefield with perseverance!" Who is the BA going to keep out of the enemy? ”

Wen Tingshi was speechless, and his face was red.

He, like a bunch of people in the court, is just a good hand at putting his mouth out, and when it's time to move the real thing, he is all numb. Of course, it's a risky thing to die. Their group of adults who feel that they are delicate and precious will never do it, isn't there countless Qiu Ba Wufu? It's up to them to fight according to their own examples. It's our credit to win, and it's their responsibility to lose.

After the shame, the anger soared. Wen Ting's sleeves swept away, and his face sank: "Mr. Yan's literary talent and knowledge are also valued by the saints today. Sir, don't make a mistake about yourself. lest you destroy your future! The fall of the Yang family has become inevitable, and today's situation is incompatible. It is not even more important for people in the opposition to intervene. I advise Mr. and all the students to get out of the way as soon as possible. ”

Yan Fu was a little excited in his heart. Appreciated by the Emperor. It has been his dream for many years to be reused by the imperial court. However, after the failure of the last scientific expedition, his mind has faded a lot. Now I have a firm belief in the great cause of changing a country and a nation, and whether or not there is an emperor's canonization is just icing on the cake.

Therefore, after only a slight movement, he let go and smiled: "Bachelor of Arts, you people are already outdated. The changes in the world are not something that can be stopped by resting on your laurels. When this great difficulty and great change that Chinese civilization has not encountered in the ages, Yan Fu did not dare to stand aside, but even more to devote himself to it, even if he was broken! Concession, you can't enter! ”

Wen Tingshi was completely annoyed, took a step forward, and shouted in a deep voice: "What if you have to enter? ”

Yan Fu counted hundreds of young people with his hand: "Step on us first!" I want to see who dares to defy the condemnation of the world and incite the imperial court to tear up the treaty, trigger a war with the great powers, and trap hundreds of millions of people. Who dares to be this sinner of the ages! ”

Hundreds of young people looked at each other angrily, and they all stepped forward and shouted: "Stand back! ”

"Stand back!"

The sound was like thunder, reverberating inside and outside the concession. The momentum of not being afraid of death, the oppressive Wen Ting-style trembled all over, and he couldn't say a word.

Looking at the lively crowd from a distance, he was a little puzzled, and said in surprise: "Hasn't Mr. Yan always called on the big guys to be patriotic?" Why did you help stop the imperial army's army from entering today? ”

Someone next to him kindly explained: "Hey, don't you understand this?" The concession is the land ceded to the foreigners by the imperial court, and it is called by the foreigners. It took a lot of effort for Boss Yang to get his name, and this is why we have a job for tens of thousands of people in Tianjin. See, the big school on the side, in the future, all the boys from our family will go in to study and become workers! These bastards are going to break in, ruining the foundation of Boss Yang and cutting off the livelihood of tens of thousands of us. In the end, it will attract foreigners to send an army to ask for guilt. Do you think Mr. Yan can stop him? ”

"Oh, in this case, there are traitors in the court! They incite people to attack with troops, isn't this self-destruction? That's the way! ”

"And that's not all!" The understander sighed and said, "Now, Boss Yang is leading his own escort team from Liaodong to fight Little Japan and help the imperial court defend his hometown in Northeast China. It's good for them to take cold water to rob people's business, do you say it's all a human business? ”

As soon as the boss's movement shouted, the people around him could hear it, and suddenly countless people were indignant, patted their thighs and shouted: "The one who came up with this idea is a fucking bastard!" We finally thought about two days of peace, how can we be willing to let foreigners kill Tianjin Weilai? No, they can't be allowed to succeed! ”

"yes, you can't let them do that! Our Tianjin Wei masters, we have to know how to repay when we are favored. I said everyone, there are Mr. Yan and hundreds of talented people in front of us, and no one is afraid, what are we afraid of such a rotten life? The big guys go to help out together? ”

"Go along! Let's go! ”

"Count me in!"

"His grandmother's, Lao Tzu is cheap, I'm not afraid of what he beats! I'll go too! ”

…… The crowd was clamoring, Hulala stood up a few hundred, ran past the Qing army to the front of the concession, and shouted at Yan Fu: "Mr. Yan, let's also come to help stand and cheer!" Don't worry, if a gun strikes us, you have to take us down first! ”

More people came from behind, and some of them who were not afraid of big things came in to make a difference. Zhan Liuye and others of the Canal Gang secretly dispatched more gangs, old and young, women and children. For a time, the entire outside of the concession was surrounded by more and more civilians, forming a thick human wall to completely separate the Qing army.

Yan Fu pointed at them and said, "Do you see that?" That's what people want! (To be continued......)
