Chapter 2 Liu Yikun
August of the 27th year of Guangxu, that is, October 1901. Mukden City, which had been ravaged by artillery fire, finally returned to the embrace of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and was occupied by the Russians for three months, leaving the most prosperous city in the northeast without its former appearance.
The eyes were full of desolation, and the slightly cool autumn wind began to blow the leaves yellow, and there were corpses swinging on the branches, all Chinese, some soldiers, some not soldiers, some men and some women.
Pedestrians walking on the road did not pay attention to this, they supported their relatives and rushed to Fengtian City, wanting to see how their homes were doing, whether the house was still there, and whether there was still a bed for them to sleep in when they got home.
Two horses galloped from behind, one in his twenties and a little obscene, and the other in his forties, who looked like very strong people. Pedestrians dodged one after another, and a woman with a child in her arms was slow to dodge because of her small feet, and she was about to be knocked down by the healthy horse.
The woman's face was pale, and she instinctively turned around, ready to bear the blow with her soft back, so that the child could be safer.
The knight's riding skills were quite exquisite, and as soon as he pulled the reins, the strong horse neighed and fell to the ground, and he was just one point away from knocking down the woman.
The young knight in the back shouted angrily, "Damn, you're blind, aren't you? ”
The woman had not yet gotten rid of the panic, and an old man next to her was busy pulling her aside, and just as she was about to make a difference, the man in his forties turned over and got off the horse, stopped his companion with his eyes, and bowed to the woman: "Sister-in-law, didn't hit you?" ”
The woman quickly shook her head, and at the same time took a step back, and was already at the very edge of the official road. The man smiled: "Xiao Ke is in a hurry, so I'm in a hurry, and I ask my sister-in-law to forgive me." ”
The young man behind him came up: "Brother Liu, it's not too early, the prefect is still waiting for us, we need to hurry." ”
The man nodded, clasped his fist at the woman and saluted, then turned on his horse, and the two of them continued on their way. This time, however, their speed was noticeably slower than before, and they were no longer galloping.
The two walked side by side, and the young man's eyes rolled: "Brother Liu, what official will the imperial court give you this time?" I think there's a pipe strap too, right? ”
Brother Liu smiled bitterly: "I don't care about the official position, I didn't gather together for glory and wealth, I thought that I could make a contribution to my Daqing and defeat these foreigners, who knew that we still lost this battle." I plan to ask the court for the bereavement of those brothers who died in the war, and then continue to walk my dart, and I will not come to this place in the northeast in the future. ”
Brother Liu's name is Liu Yikun, and he is a dart master in the capital. Last year, Galeries Lafayette declared war on all nations in Beijing, which really excited these bloody men. Those who have money contribute money and powerful efforts, just to be able to defeat the foreigners and make China no longer suffer from that bird spirit.
Liu Yikun not only contributed money and efforts, but also gave his life. After hearing that the Russian Lao Maozi sent troops to the Northeast, Liu Yikun took advantage of the favorable situation that he was very familiar with in the Northeast all the year round, and was very familiar with both black and white, and scattered all his family wealth to form a righteous army, and wanted to fight Lao Maozi to the end.
A group of bandits, a group of dart masters, and a group of hunters, and later a group of Qing army routs, they fought a few battles with Lao Maozi, under the leadership of Liu Yikun, everyone worked together and did not suffer any losses.
However, because of the rout of the Qing army's frontal battlefield, Liu Yikun could only retreat to Changbai Mountain, and they fought for nearly half a year, until a few days ago, someone from the court came to tell them that the war was over and the Qing Dynasty had lost. …,
The prefect asked Liu Yikun to rush to Fengtian immediately, saying that Fengtian was now withdrawn, and he urgently needed to guard Liliang and to incorporate this miscellaneous army. The court has admitted defeat, all Liu Yikun's hopes have been shattered, he is now in despair, if it weren't for the brothers who followed him to give an explanation, he really wanted to leave.
Originally, he wanted to come down with the troops, but the master Kong landed but did not approve, this master is a suspicious person and acts very carefully. He asked Liu Yikun to send someone to delay for a while, and then look at the situation before making a decision, but Liu Yikun really wanted to end everything as soon as possible. If the brothers can really eat the emperor's food and become an officer and soldier, it seems that it is the most haode ending at present.
As for himself, Liu Yikun really doesn't have any ideas.
The young man behind him is called Biaozi, he is the personal companion of the bandit Jin Dadao, and he is more clever, Jin Dadao asked Biaozi to come with him this time, because he was afraid that the imperial court would treat them differently when he was co-opted.
Regardless of whether he believes in the court or not, Biao Zi is still very convinced of Liu Yikun, and now when he hears Liu Yikun say that he will never come to the Northeast in the future, he is a little sad: "Brother Liu, can you really put down your brothers?" ”
Liu Yikun shook his head: "This time, I'm sorry for you." I wanted to take you to do something big, but I didn't expect it to turn out like this. Biaozi, I really don't understand, our Qing Dynasty has taken advantage of the right time, place and people, and Weishenme still can't win? ”
Liu Yikun's eyes were a little confused, he was really confused now, thinking that when Lao Maozi fought Shengjing, more than 3,000 old Maozi scared away all the tens of thousands of troops in Shengjing after firing a few shots. What happened to this Qing Dynasty?
Biao Zi had no way to explain these things to him, Liu Yikun put away his thoughts and sighed: "If I hadn't brought you here, your brother wouldn't have died, maybe you are drinking together now." ”
Biao Zi smiled: "Brother Liu, don't say such things, do us who have no capital to trade, life and death, and never complain about others." But if we really become officers and soldiers, I hope that Brother Liu can stay and take us. ”
Liu Yikun let out a sigh: "I don't have the mind, Boss Jin can do it." Let's go, there are still more than 200 brothers waiting for our news on Gollum Mountain. ”
Biao Zi raised his eyes to see that the walls of Fengtian City had appeared in his field of vision, and there were more and more refugees returning home in front of him, and the road was becoming more and more crowded.
Two people entered the city gate, the guards at the gate have changed from Russians to Qing Dynasty soldiers, those soldiers stood under the city gate one by one, checking the packages of the common people, and took out all kinds of things that they looked at, like wolves and tigers, Liu Yikun didn't understand, when the Russians fought Fengtian, where did these wolf-like Qing soldiers go?
"This lord, in Xia Liu Yikun, is here by the hand of Lord Futai, please report on your behalf." Liu Yikun took out the letter given to him by the prefect from his arms and handed it to the head of the group of soldiers.
After the man saw it, his eyes suddenly flashed, and then he said very politely: "Hey, it turned out to be Lord Liu, we will work together in the future, brother Zhao Yansun, get to know Lord Liu first." ”
Liu Yikun clenched his fists and said, "Big brother is polite." ”
Zhao Yansun shouted to the two soldiers: "You two take Lord Liu and this brother as a barracks to rest, serve some tea and snacks, and wait!" ”
Biaozi's face couldn't help but smile, but Liu Yikun said politely: "Don't dare to bother you, we just greet ourselves." ”
Zhao Yansun smiled: "Nacheng, you two are waiting here, brother will go and report to you now." ”
Biaozi was really excited, sitting in the conservatory, touching the thick bedding of those soldiers: "Brother Liu, this thing is good, cover it warm at night." ”
Liu Yikun was preoccupied now, and he didn't know Weishenme, and he suddenly had a feeling that made him uneasy. smiled slightly, and counted back Biaozi's words, but his hand couldn't help but grasp the armrest of the chair, and inexplicable nervousness welled up in his heart.
Biao Zi looked around: "Brother Liu, where is this thatched house?" I'm in a bit of a hurry. ”
Liu Yikun shook his head: "How do I know?" You go find it yourself, remember to go and come back quickly. ”
Biao Zi went out with his pants, and when Liu Yikun was left alone, he was even more flustered, picked up the teacup and took a sip, wanting to suppress his emotions, but the teacup had not been put down, and the door of the barracks was suddenly kicked open, and a guy wearing a prefect's uniform poured in with a group of soldiers, dozens of people, with the muzzle of the black hole held flat, aimed at Liu Yikun in the room!
Liu Yikun slowly stood up: "Lord Prefect, what does this mean?" ”
