Chapter Eighty-Four: The Down-and-Out Scholar
The battle was fought very suddenly. Just when the city of Beijing was in chaos, when the Boxers were in a big fight, and when everyone felt that they could really vent their anger - Lao Maozi repelled 100,000 soldiers and killed Heilongjiang vigorously in three ways!
Since ancient times, fighting a war is a matter of setting up a memorial arch, and there must always be an excuse to send troops to other countries. Tsarist Russia's excuse was simple: the Boxers! Dongqing Railway!
The Boxers have also been so heroic in the past six months. When you meet a church and demolish a church, you encounter a railroad and dismantle a railway, but if there is a foreigner called the Boxer Rebellion, it will be destroyed! Keeping a foreigner's belongings? That was a lifeless act in front of the Boxers. If you are caught by the boxers, it will be the end of the head.
Foreigners are Maozi, and the Qing Dynasty people who believe in foreign religion are Ermaozi, and there are three Maozi, four Maozi, and even eight Maozi and nine Maozi? Listening to the song of the mutton bones and asking for food, the Boxers caught a scholar with a piece of foreign paper hidden on his body, and he was stripped of his clothes and hung on a tree, and the meat was sliced clean with a knife!
The Boxers still treated the Chinese people who hid foreign goods, so it is conceivable what kind of means they had to use to treat the foreigners.
The Germans had killed two priests, and they had to cut Shandong off the map of the Qing Dynasty. Lao Maozi died so many people in the Northeast, and the railroad was cleaned and many railway stations were destroyed, so it didn't have to have a low temper in Germany, how could it not come back with revenge? With such a reason, sending troops can definitely be regarded as justified, not to mention what kind of document did the Queen Mother Lafayette issue in the name of today, declaring war on the countries of the world?
Lao Maozi said that he wanted to protect the Dongqing Railway and assert the rights and interests of Tsarist Russia. Let Lao Maozi's soldiers enter the country, so why not? The governor of Heilongjiang, the general Shoushan, is also an iron-clad man, and he did not ask for instructions, but he represented a group of soldiers and put down cruel words to the 100,000 male soldiers of Tsarist Russia: "The Eastern Qing Railway should be protected by my Qing Dynasty, if you insist on sending troops to come, I can only fight with you." ”
Except for the Boxers, Tsarist Russia had never seen a Qing Dynasty person dare to be so tough, and he was also shocked. But when a country sends troops, how can it be frightened away by the cruel words released by one person? Lao Maozi has been eyeing the Kanto region for a day or two, and for a long time, the little twists and turns in the tsar's belly can be said to be Sima Zhao's heart, and passers-by know it! Then the Russian army is naturally going to attack!
Soon after the cannon was fired in Aihui City, Hailanpao and Jiangdong Sixty-four Tun were slaughtered. The reason? Do you need a reason to kill? Tsarist Russia said that these Qing nationals had fornicated with the Qing army, had gunpowder hidden in their homes, and killed them together, what can you do with me?
Tsarist Russia is strong, and the waist pole is stiff. Within two days of killing people, the artillery fire on the river blasted open the wall of Aihui City, and the army of Tsarist Russia drove straight in, killing all the way to Qiqihar in less than a month.
"Little Tiger, you said that Lao Maozi can't really fight all the way here." Hearing Huzi read the notice of the government to her, she was also worried, and when she saw the bleak appearance of those homeless people, she herself was also terrified, for fear that she would become ordinary. ”
Zhao Xiaogou took a few mouthfuls of noodles here, and spoke before he could swallow it cleanly: "No!" Sister Yueyue, you don't know, there is Lord Shoushan! ”
Huzi was also full, put down his chopsticks and asked, "I also saw General Shoushan in the notice, what kind of character is he?" ”
"Brother Huzi, you don't know?" As soon as he heard that Huzi also didn't know something, Zhao Xiaogou immediately became interested, "Recently, the story of General Shoushan is being told in the library!" This Shoushan general is a man with a white flag, and during the First Sino-Japanese War that year, he became an infantry commander and won several battles. Four Trees, Phoenix, have all killed devils! Once, when the adult was directing the battle, the left butt ate the gun, but he continued to rush with the team like no one, riding his horse for thirty miles, and when he returned to the barracks, the left trouser tube was soaked in blood! Later, because of his outstanding military achievements, he was promoted to Heilongjiang general. ”
"You heard the word 'Biaobing' from a storyteller." Huzi watched the dog show off and couldn't help but sneer. But he changed his words again: "According to this statement, General Shoushan is really an iron-clad man, comparable to Yue Wumu." ”
"That's it! Who is General Shoushan? The dog became proud, as if he was boasting about himself, "Old Maozi, why be afraid?" General Shoushan will definitely beat them to the ground! ”
"Not necessarily," Huzi didn't listen to the book for some time, diverted the story of General Shoushan, and didn't really regard him as a character like Yue Wumu, "If it is really majestic, then why did you still lose the First Sino-Japanese War?" ”
Huzi's words choked the dog, and he couldn't open his mouth for a while, and his face turned red, so he could only reply with bared teeth: "Brother Huzi, you don't understand anything!" This...... I'm not going to finish before this meal! ”
Originally, this meal was when the puppy heard that Huzi and Yueyue didn't have a serious lunch, so he came to the small restaurant where the little brother and the girl were messing around on weekdays, saying that they wanted to treat them, and Huzi also took a detour to see the notice of the government, so there was such a show.
Huzi is not short of money, and the dog is really helpless to use food money to threaten him, which makes Huzi and Yueyue laugh.
It was just while talking and laughing that a scholar came in from outside the door of the small restaurant. sat down at a table next to Huzi and them, and greeted Xiao Er: "What is the cheapest thing here in Nong?" This scholar spoke with a strong Jiangnan accent, although it was official, but it was still mixed with some dialects from other places.
When Xiao Er heard this, he knew that he was a really broken lord, so he didn't pay much attention to serving: "The cheapest one...... Rice bran, I'll give you a basket of rice. "This time is not a point to eat, the guests in the store are these offspring in addition to the scholars, listening to Xiao Er's ridicule of this scholar, they also laughed.
The three of them looked over. I saw that this scholar's clothes were shabby, but they were very clean, and there were some traces of sewing on the gray robe. There is a bookcase at his feet, which looks much wider than the scholar's body, and if it is filled with books, it should be not light. However, this scholar is very handsome, although his eyebrows are tightly locked, but he can also see that this person has thick eyebrows and big eyes, a straight nose and a square mouth, a face, and no beard, probably in his early twenties. Although he was sitting, his waist was straight, and he was about five feet long. Looking at his face and figure, he can really be regarded as a beautiful man.
The man dressed as a scholar was laughed at by Xiao Er and laughed at by the children, and his face was a little unbearable: "Little Second Brother, don't laugh at me, what is there to warm your stomach, is there anything you can do in the back kitchen now?" ”
Seeing that this person was annoyed, Xiao Er also accepted it when he saw it: "Vegetarian soup noodles, cheap and affordable, a bowl for the two of them." ”
The scholar nodded, discharged a few big coins in his palm, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Little second brother, you can do it conveniently, Xiaosheng will give you a copper coin, you can help me cook a bowl of noodles, put half of the noodles, and have more soup." ”
"Hey! Do you eat like this? Xiao Er laughed out loud, "I can't talk about you well, our family has never sold anything like this." If you don't go to the street to look for other houses, we have a pine crane tower in Changtu Mansion, you can ask the cook there if you can do this. ”
"Hey! Nerds! The dog called the scholar. The scholar turned his head and looked sullen: "What are you calling me?" ”
The dog picked his teeth with a toothpick and said, "You go out and go north, on the main road, there is a store called Tongjie groceries, where is the porridge, if you really can't afford to eat, go and drink a bowl of porridge, fill your stomach and say anything else." ”
Seeing that the dog was showing him the way, the scholar's tone softened: "I saw the porridge shed on the way here, but I won't eat it." Child, you are dressed richly, you should be reading, have you ever heard the story in "The Book of Rites: Tan Gong"? Qian Ao eats on the road, and those who have aspirations die without eating, which is the truth that the poor are not fed by the mouth. Although there was porridge in front of the shop, the servants shouted and drank, and those who were in chaos were beaten or scolded, and I would not eat it. ”
The dog rolled his eyes, and he didn't deliberately suppress his voice when he talked to Yueyue and Huzi: "This sour and rotten gas is more than the teacher in my school!" ”
Huzi also found it interesting when he heard it. During this time, he had a lot more pockets, and he didn't take a few eldest sons seriously. He got up and walked in front of the scholar and hugged his fists: "This eldest brother is also very ambitious, I invited you to this meal, and I should get to know him." ”
The scholar hurriedly got up and saluted: "The little brother's kindness of giving up the meal, the little student must remember it." When you come to Dengke, you will not forget the kindness of your little brother. ”
"Xiao Er, cook a bowl of pork head noodles and warm a little wine for him!" As he spoke, Huzi threw out a few copper plates. Xiao Er raised his hand to take it, and he didn't fall a piece: "Gotcha!" Wait. He turned around and shouted to the back hall: "A bowl of pork head noodles, a pot of wine~"
"This ...... How can this make the little brother break the bank! The scholar's face was flustered, "I'll just eat that plain noodle!" Somen noodles are good! ”
"The money is all given, and I won't come back." Huzi sat down opposite the scholar, "My name is Peng Hu, where are you from?" What do you call it? ”
The scholar also sat down and arched his hand again: "Xiaosheng Lang Yunshu, a person from Songjiang Mansion, is a showman." ”
"Xiucai?" Huzi was stunned. In the play, it is said that Xiucai is poor, but in fact, Xiucai has many privileges in the place where his household registration is located, and he can be exempted from forced labor by two people in the family except himself. Although the authority can be said to be reflected in some trivial places, there are still very few people who leave their hometowns - because in other places, they can't continue to go to the county school to study and take exams.
"Hey~" Xiucai sighed, "If it weren't for the hardships at home, Xiaosheng wouldn't be willing to leave his hometown and look for relatives outside the customs." Now that the entanglement is exhausted, I can't find my uncle, and it's rare to find a place to live. ”
"Oh......" Huzi nodded. That makes sense. If nothing happens, how many people are willing to leave their homes?
"Don't mention these sad things, I'll ask my little brother for directions." The scholar was another hand.
This scholarly etiquette was so much that Huzi was bored, so he said: "Don't be formal, just ask any questions." ”
The scholar put down his hand a little embarrassed: "Little brother, do you know where the 'Sun Temple on Sun Mountain' is?" ”
