The Tsumen Boxer was suddenly launched, specifically targeting the foreigner churches with bad deeds.

At the same time, the local Haoqiang, who relied on the foreigners' churches for their prestige, also fell into bad luck, and were suddenly attacked by the Boxers of the Boxers, and many of the local Haoqiang in the evil township were destroyed overnight.

I don't know when, rumors suddenly spread in the Jinmen area, to the effect that foreigners through various means, especially the opening of churches with the intention of breaking the foundation of Chinese culture, means that after the situation is established, the local will no longer study the Four Books and Five Classics, but mainly the writing and culture of foreigners.

It's worth it!

The Four Books and the Five Classics and the Imperial Examination were the main ways for the children of the local gentry to rise to the top of the ranks, and they were also the main means for most Han bureaucrats to maintain their family status.

Originally, the government and the rest of the local squires were very hostile to the Boxers and were ready to deal with them with a heavy hand, but these rumors suddenly caused a big wave in Shilin, and all the measures intended to target the Boxers came to an abrupt halt.

The momentum of the Jinmen Yihe Fist was unmatched for a while, and a large amount of money, food and property were snatched in a short period of time, and the previous hidden dangers were swept away, and the power was even greater.

"Don't offend everyone and the forces, just target the main goal!"

When Lei Hu gave a lesson to the senior brother of the Yihequan, he did not mention the point: "Isn't the current situation very good, without the hostility of the government and the local squire, the actions of the Yihequan are much smoother!" ”

Senior Brother Yihequan, who listened carefully to the class, suddenly burst into a smug laugh.

That's right, the sudden action of Jinmen Yihequan, as well as the subsequent calculations and operations, were all made by Lei Hu's guidance, and the effect seems to be quite obvious at the moment.

In private, the Boxer brother not only repeatedly expressed his gratitude, but also revealed an important information to Lei Hu, someone from the government contacted and wanted to join forces with the Boxer to deal with the foreigners!

This time to deal with foreigners, it is not only the local churches with bad deeds, but all foreigners are included in the scope of targeting.

In fact, the elder brother of the Boxer has already been moved, which does not contradict the purpose of the Boxer at this time, on the contrary, it can get the secret support of the government, and the development of the Boxer will be more smooth.

Lei Hu supported this, but he insisted on one request, that is, the imperial court must support money, food, and weapons, so that the Boxers could compete with the regular foreign army.

In the previous operation, 20 elite militia members under his command took turns to get muskets and bullets from the official army through the channels of the Boxers, and also pulled some clever Boxers to form a small musket commando team, which played an important role in the attack on the church and the local Haoqiang manor.

The power of the musket was concentrated, and it also shocked the senior brother of Yigan Yihequan, and after the actual combat drill, he did not dare to underestimate it, and no one said any invulnerable nonsense, and at the same time, the boxers below had a clear understanding of the power of the musket.

At the very least, the backbone of the Boxer knows the power of the musket, and if they encounter the foreign army in the future, they will not stupidly rush towards the opponent's musket position with their heads covered.

With such an idea, Lei Hu suggested that the Boxers must have their own musket troops, which was immediately recognized and approved by the top management of the Yigan Boxers.

At present, the opportunity is rare, and the government takes the initiative to contact and unite with the Boxers, if it is not knocked hard, it will be a loss.

However, it is obvious that the imperial court is not all fools, knowing the strength of the musket troops, once the Boxer has a musket unit, it will not be easy to kill it easily.

Because of the musket and ammunition, the Boxers and the court couldn't help but argue, one wanted the other but was unwilling to give it, and the matter was suddenly deadlocked.

Seeing that the attitude of the government was tough and it was unrealistic for the Boxers to obtain a large number of muskets, Lei Hu came up with another idea: to purchase some muskets and ammunition through foreigners, and to get guns and ammunition from the government little by little, and first pull up a few musket teams of hundreds or even thousands of people.

In order to help Yihequan solve the musket matter, he even went back to Lingnan to help find a stable supply of guns and ammunition, and then returned to the Jinmen area.

Before coming back, he went to Chancheng, got together with his master Huang Feihong, and learned a lot of unknown news through the relationship between Chancheng Zhongyi Hall.

In a word, in my Qing Dynasty, there was no peace everywhere, there were frequent chaos in various places, and the government was anxious, and it became more and more difficult to control the grassroots.

If it weren't for the Boxer high-level and Tan Sitong's repeated urging, he really didn't want to continue to go north, and in the end, he couldn't hinder the repeated pleading of these guys, so he had to continue to go north to give advice to the dog-headed military division hidden in the shadows of the Boxer.

After returning to Jinmen, he had a few secret talks with the Boxer brothers and the high-level officials, and when the musket ammunition from the foreigners arrived smoothly, the Boxers also began to secretly organize the old and weak and some of the older capable boxers to go to the area controlled by the Black Flag Army in Annam.

This secret smuggling has lasted for a year, and a total of 10,000 or 20,000 old and weak and some young boxers have been sent to the Annan territory controlled by the Black Flag Army.

Tan Sitong is also a restless master, seeing the huge momentum of the Righteous Fist, and shouting the slogan of 'Helping the Qing and Destroying the West', as well as specific actions to testify, this guy also does not know through what channel, secretly contacted some backbone of the reform faction, and some court officials, and tried his best to promote the union of the court and the Boxer.

If it weren't for Lei Hu to stop him, this guy even had the idea of inviting Kang Liang, who fled abroad, to come back and preside over the 'overall situation', how could the imperial court still cooperate with Yihequan at that time, and it would already be very face-saving if he didn't encircle and suppress it ruthlessly.

Of course, don't look at the momentum of the Yihe Fist, Lei Hu has contributed a lot, in fact, most of the time he just talks and doesn't do anything, and tries not to go out if he can, after many things and plans are assigned, he is not greedy for his own merits, and he has been a secret military advisor for more than a year, and few people outside even know about his existence.

Even Yuan Shikai, who has trained into a new army and gradually replaced Li Hongzhang as the new leader of Beiyang, although he knows that Lei Hu has always been in the territory of Yihequan, he does not know Lei Hu's movements.

Lei Hu was not dazzled by the booming momentum of the Boxers, he knew that only his own strength was really strong, and the rest of the forces, power, wealth and the like were floating clouds, so he had not relaxed his own training, and with the help of a large number of resources provided by the Boxers, his muscle tempering plan had been a complete success.

He is now fighting alone with more than five Boxer masters who have tacit understanding, and he can easily win with his fist alone......
