Chapter 63 Self-Reliance

Previous Chapter

The imperial court's declaration of war was three days earlier than in history, and it directly ordered Nie Shicheng to take the initiative to attack, it seems that it should be Luo Rongguang's recital that took effect.

Earlier, there were Qianzimen disciples who used cannon fodder and consumed the ammunition of the coalition army, and the armed guards could still fight back and forth with the coalition forces.

At this time, the imperial court came to another wave of commotion, commending Liu Chengxiang, praising the Qianzimen for his meritorious work in trapping the enemy, and being a loyal and brave man who defended the country, and rewarded 5,000 taels of silver.

After receiving the reward, Liu Chengxiang was completely floating, since he was loyal and brave to protect the country, then Nie Shicheng was not collaborating with the enemy and treason!

Coupled with the fact that the Wuwei Army was repeatedly unable to attack, Liu Chengxiang decided to give Nie Shicheng a hard blow.

So he sent people to Nie's house to plunder Nie Shicheng's mother, wife and daughter and put them in front of the battle, and ordered Nie Shicheng to overcome the coalition defense line within one day.

After his family was taken captive, Nie Shicheng completely broke out, leading more than 1,500 armed guards loyal to him, turning their guns and attacking Liu Chengxiang's position.

The Boxers were not as equipped as the Wuwei Army, but they were superior in numbers, and they had just been rewarded by the imperial court, and they considered themselves to belong to the righteous army, so they were determined to kill Nie and quell the rebellion, so as soon as they fought, both sides did their best.

The remaining coalition soldiers were confused, why did the other side fight and start fighting?

But no matter what, this was the best opportunity to break through, so more than 1,000 allied troops launched a sneak attack from behind the Wuwei Army, and the confrontation between the two armies turned into a three-way melee.

Nie Shicheng was outnumbered and shot to death, and the Boxers were about to kill the corpses, but because the coalition forces rushed from the rear, they had to give up.

So far, the armed guards loyal to Nie Shicheng have been completely wiped out, and the remaining few armed guards and the Boxers have also been injured and unable to stop them, so that the coalition forces can successfully break through, and the battle of Langfang is over.

In this battle, the Armed Guards suffered more than 2,100 casualties, the Boxers suffered more than 5,300 casualties, and the total casualties of the coalition forces were less than 600.

Even so, the Qing government still called it a great victory in Langfang.

"Pathetic, pathetic, ridiculous!" After reading all the information, Lin Lei laughed angrily.

Nie Shicheng and Liu Chengxiang perfectly interpret what pig teammates are.

"No, if you dare to take advantage of me, you have to pay the price! Xiaoyue, there is a task for you, don't chase dramas all day long! Lin Lei shouted to Lin Yue'er outside the study.

Since Lin Yue'er stayed by Lin Lei's side with a dead face, Lin Lei has tried all kinds of ways to hope that the other party will not pester him, after all, he has too many secrets, and once he is discovered, the previous layout may be in vain.

As for driving away the other party....... Feng Desheng has long been "eyeing the tiger", ready to find another woman to replace him at any time.

This is the Manchu Qing Dynasty, a little powerful, who is not a handful of maids and servants? What's more, he, a fairy descending persona, has a few faithful female believers around him, which is also normal!

can't drive away, and can't let Lin Yue'er stick to her side every day, after trying a lot of methods, Lin Yue'er was finally attracted by the tablet and became a little otaku girl who was addicted to chasing dramas.

Lin Yue'er heard the call, lowered her head and slowly walked towards Lin Lei's study, her eyes still staring at the tablet in her left hand, while her right hand grabbed a handful of melon seeds, stuffing them into her mouth from time to time.

"Oops~! I'll talk to you! Can you respect me, believe it or not, I'll put the computer away now! Lin Lei said helplessly.

The TV series has completely made Lin Yue'er addicted to it and can't extricate herself.

"I'm sorry! What do you command? Lin Yue'er was worried that the tablet would be taken away, so she quickly pressed the pause button, and finally listened carefully.

"Let the red light follow the order, and from now on, Qianyuan Zhenren will officially break away from the Boxers and establish the Qianyuan Sect, with the head church set up in Dagu, and there will be no separate religion for the time being. All members of the Qianyuan Sect must be registered by the Archchurch and issued with identity tokens, otherwise they will not be recognized. Lin Lei explained.

Liu Chengxiang can be rewarded by the imperial court, it is stained with Lin Lei's light, if it is possible, Lin Lei would rather the imperial court reprimand this heartless thing.

Now that Liu Chengxiang has the support of the imperial court, his power is getting stronger and stronger, which is equivalent to indirectly robbing Lin Lei's population resources, if Lin Lei can bear this kind of thing, what kind of face does he have to call himself a real person in Qianyuan?

Earlier, the name of the Boxers was borrowed, firstly, in order to smoothly recruit troops, and secondly, to take advantage of the opportunity of the Manchu Qing to declare war on the Boxers to justifiably rob the Manchu Qing of mineral resources.

However, the plan could not catch up with the changes, in order to pay off the war loan, Lin Lei used too much force, not only scared off the Eight-Nation Alliance, but also frightened the soft persimmon of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

The Qing government admitted, not only did not dare to continue to stab the knife, but even took the initiative to break the "sharp blade" of Nie Shicheng, as long as Lin Lei was named in the Boxer Rebellion for one day, the Manchu Qing Dynasty would never dare to touch the Boxers.

This is also not what Lin Lei wants.

The Boxers acted too crazy, no matter whether they were right or wrong, as long as they were foreigners, they would all be killed.

At the beginning, Lin Lei also had such an idea, thinking that only in this way could he justifiably snatch the resources of various countries.

But after a few days of precipitation, after integrating into this era, Lin Lei has a new understanding, the black and white approach of the Boxer Rebellion is nothing more than going from one extreme to the other.

In the matter of the invasion of China by the Eight-Nation Alliance, they may have contributed or been a good help.

But now that the coalition forces have been defeated, they are allowed to continue to expand by the Boxers with the power of victory, and in the end they will only be burned.

When the time comes, they burn, kill, loot and wreak havoc, Lin Lei will also rob a fart of resources, and if one person can rob it, he can rob tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of locust-like bandits?

Killing people and plundering goods, just have Lin Lei's Qianyuan Sect, and there is no need for others to get a piece of the pie, in the final analysis, the Boxers are always a group of poor people, and a stable life is what they need most.

The best way is to annex the Boxers, so that some of the poor people can go back to live a stable life, and the other part of the militants will be merged into the Qianyuan Sect and continue to fight according to Lin Lei's will.

"Break away from the Boxers? Is it finally time to liquidate.........." Lin Yue'er was a little lonely.

can single-handedly create a red lantern, and in a short period of time, run it into the backbone of the Boxer Rebellion, Lin Yue'er is not a novice who doesn't understand anything.

Even at the beginning of joining the Boxers, she expected this result, the court used the Boxers to deal with foreigners, and after the goal was achieved, she would definitely unload the mill and kill the donkey.

And not only did she not reject it, but she also worked hard to promote this matter, otherwise why did most of the court officials fall to the Boxers, and really think that the pillow wind of the Qinglou woman is so good? It's just an exchange of interests.

Lin Yue'er calculated everything, and the only thing she didn't count was Lin Lei.

Lin Lei's appearance disrupted her plan, which was the real reason why she came to pester Lin Lei.

Even if Lin Lei doesn't say it, when the time is right, she will take the initiative to propose.

"Don't worry, I will negotiate with the imperial court to strive for peaceful co-optation, as for your red lantern, if you want, you will all join the Qianyuan Sect, and you will still be in charge of intelligence. The Boxer Rebellion is gone, and the debts owed by the foreigners will be collected by our Qianyuan Sect. Lin Lei thought that Lin Yue'er was worried about the red light, so he comforted.
