Chapter 342: The Beginning of the War (Part II)

"Daddy! Father! Daddy, look! The Boxers have won the battle again! Zhu Chuanwen rushed into the backyard from the back door with a newspaper with a look of ecstasy, and shouted while running to the second floor.

The door of the living room on the second floor creaked open, and Wen Ta Niang's voice came out: "What are you shouting, your father and mother are not deaf yet." Why don't you eat at home honestly at home? ”

Zhu Chuanwen smiled, salivated and said, "Hey, mother, I'm going out to buy newspapers!" ”

Wen Ta Niang raised her hand and slapped him, pulled him into the house, and said: "What kind of newspaper to buy, this street full of people all ran to our restaurant to listen to that radio, and the main entrance of our house was blocked every day, and you, the shopkeeper, even went to buy newspapers!" ”

"That's different! Mother! Zhu Chuanwen opened the newspaper to show her, pointed to the headline with four words on the top, and said: "Na, look, the military frontier." This is specifically about war. The radio also broadcasts this at a fixed time every day. It's like a newspaper when you want to read it, you can be sad to read it! ”

Zhu Kaishan stopped eating, raised his head and said, "Okay, what are you talking about him at the door, call him over for dinner!" ”

Nawen Niang pushed Zhu Chuanwen and said with a smile: "Look, your father feels sorry for you, hurry up and go to dinner!" ”

Zhu Chuanwen laughed a few times and hurriedly sat down in his place.

He is now a good scenery, mainly because he has the support of the actual rulers of Heilongjiang Province in the Shandong restaurant he is in charge of, and the development is getting smoother and smoother. The hostile Rehe merchants who appeared in the plot raised their hands and surrendered directly after knowing their roots. Although the hostile leader Pan Wuye had a breath in his heart, he also had to swallow it raw.

Zhu Kaishan was even personally received twice by Wang Zheng because of his identity, and no one knew what they talked about between them. However, after those two meetings, the original ordinary Shandong restaurant had a strange thing such as a radio and a plaque of freedom of speech, and these two things also made the form of Shandong restaurant quickly break away from the level of the hotel and rush to the private leisure club.

Zhu Chuanwen was also taken care of because of his relationship with Wang Zheng. Not only was he given a gun, but he was also given the right to see him face to face. Just these two things, real and imaginary, made this man, who was originally a little cowardly and unconfident, quickly straighten his waist. The younger brothers, who felt his change, also had a lot more respect than usual. This was the first time he experienced the feeling of being an eldest son from his younger brothers. And Zhu Kaishan saw that his boss was highly valued by the above, and gradually changed his attitude towards him.

However, Zhu Chuanwen believed that this change was given by Wang Zheng, so he quickly became Wang Zheng's hardcore supporter, and he would defend every dispute, and he was particularly concerned about the war of the Boxer Army.

"Look at your excited face, now I ask you to eat, and you can't bear it!" Zhu Kaishan put down the dishes and chopsticks, and said with a slight smile: "Let's talk about it." What's the news that makes you so excited? ”

Seeing that Dad put down the block, a few small ones could only stop and look at Zhu Chuanwen together.

Zhu Chuanwen smiled, handed the newspaper under his arm to Zhu Kaishan beside him, and said, "Dad, the Boxer Army has won the battle again." Not only had they fought in the north all the way to Vladivostok, but just last night they had cleared the Japanese from the last island. Finally drove all the Japanese into the sea! ”

"Oh?" Zhu Kaishan took the newspaper and opened it and looked at it. Slap the table and laugh heartily: "Okay, good!" Sure enough, there are no weak soldiers under the strong generals, and Commander Wang's troops have earned another breath for our people this time! ”

Chuanjie on the opposite side pulled the newspaper from Zhu Kaishan's hand, looked at it twice, and couldn't help but say, "Let's not talk about it on the Japanese side." In Russia, three armies have been sent out one after another, and the Boxer Army is a super-large establishment of 150,000 people, where do you say they came from so many people? ”

"It's not just us who think about it!" Nawen carefully fed the child the last bite of food and sent the child away. Put down the bowl and looked up and said: "People all over the world are probably thinking, especially Zhang Zuolin, the king of the Northeast, at this time, it is estimated that his head is about to break his head!" ”

Everyone thought of the bald little man's sad face in their minds. They all burst out laughing.

"I said he didn't have time to think about it now! Although Commander Wang estimated the people in Changchun City, he did not give the order to attack. But they were not spared either. Didn't you hear that the officers of the Changchun army were about to be lost? In this battle, I think in the end, it will definitely be the Feng Legion that will collapse without a fight! Zhu Chuanwen said twice.

Zhu Chuanjie said curiously: "And this matter, why are they so lost?" ”

"I know this!" Before Zhu Chuanwen could speak, his wife Yushu raised her hand and said, "I heard that the leader in charge of attacking Changchun City is called Blade, and he was originally the boxer of the Boxers." There are also a large number of capable people who come and go. Although Commander Wang was pressing, he refused to start the battle lightly. But their subordinates were not idle, and from time to time they would send people to sneak into Changchun City, and in three or two days they would get a high-ranking military official. Now that the confrontation has been going on for half a month, I heard that the Feng Legion comes together every morning, and the most important thing is to lightly click on the high-level commanders, who are gone!"

When everyone heard what she said, they burst into laughter.

The only one who didn't laugh was Zhu Chuanwu, who was entangled again.

The place where he was originally a soldier also belonged to the Feng Legion, and since his troops were controlled by the Boxers, he was singled out separately and sent back. As for the other comrades-in-arms, although he didn't know where they were, he definitely couldn't get better. A few days ago, when the shopkeeper Liu of Shandong Silk Village came to cry and begged his father to find a way to save his son, who was a soldier, he also saw it. Although it is not angry, it is somewhat sad.

Originally, he was not convinced, although limited to the relationship between his family and the Boxers, he could not openly oppose the Boxers, but he always paid attention to inquiring about their news. I think you are a bandit-turned-warlord, although you can gain momentum for a while, but someone will definitely give you a good look.

However, as the news gradually came, the Boxer Army actually won consecutive battles in three battles, and it seemed that they had beaten the foreigners to the ground without much effort. It was directly shocked that while the Feng Legion was mobilizing the legion on a large scale, it was anxious to negotiate.

And what is even more terrifying is their seemingly endless army in the Great and Small Khing'an Mountains. Every time a large group of people is mobilized from inside, it is a time to arouse the amazement of people all over the world.

Some people even wondered about their men and horses, thinking that they were heavenly soldiers and generals who rushed from heaven to rescue the people. And those with a little knowledge are extremely interested in how they can hide so many people in the deep mountains and old forests, and where these people come from and how many people are still in them. There are different opinions on various theories, and for a while he suddenly has a feeling of prosperity.

Looking at his father, who was smiling happily, and his eldest brother who was full of spring, Zhu Chuanwu finally sighed and made a decision in his heart!

"Daddy!"

"How?" Zhu Kaishan turned his head to look at him.

"I want to be a soldier!" Zhu Chuanwu said with a firm look in his eyes: "I have been at home for almost two months, and I have nothing to do every day except sleep or eat." I hadn't had a day at all, and I felt like I was going to rust. I should still belong to the barracks, where I am at ease, I know what I want, what to say, what I can do! ”

As soon as he said this, the sound of the whole family talking and laughing stopped. Xiu'er, who had not spoken beside her, lowered her head even more gloomily, although they had slept in the same room every day for the past two months, Chuanwu still didn't move her. This made her a little disheartened, and it was simply too painful to love someone.

"Determined?" Zhu Kaishan looked at him and asked seriously: "You must know that if you want to be a soldier now, you can only go to the Boxer Army, and the Feng Legion has now been cleared out of Heilongjiang Province, even if you want to vote again, there is no place to vote!" ”

Zhu Chuanwu nodded vigorously, gritted his teeth and did not speak.

"Okay, then I'll agree!" Zhu Kaishan looked at him quietly for a while, then suddenly slapped the table and said, "You have to know that we can live here so peacefully now, and how much the Boxer Legion has helped." Saving lives alone is more than one saved. If you go, it will represent my old face! ”

"Dad, don't worry, I know the severity!" Zhu Chuanwu nodded and said: "I also know the relationship between the Boxer Legion and our family, what to do, you will see my actual actions when the time comes!" ”

"Good!" Zhu Kaishan smiled: "I can be regarded as waiting for your words!" Everyone smiled with relief.

Zhu Chuanwu looked at everyone's smiling faces, and the monk of Zhang's second year was puzzled.

Nawen Niang pushed him and said, "I'm still stunned!" You were born to me, can I not know your little thoughts? Your father and your brother have already gone to Commander Wang, everything is ready for you, just wait for you when you are the same! ”

"What?" Zhu Chuanwu turned his head to look at Zhu Kaishandao.

"See for yourself!" Zhu Chuanwen took out a scroll of paper from behind him and handed it to him.

Zhu Chuanwu opened it and took a look, and it was impressively written: The second son of the Zhu family, the veteran of the Boxer Rebellion, has a good temperament, is brave and loyal, and is a rare good general, and is hereby hired as the commander of the First Armored Division! I hope to arrive within three days after accepting the letter of appointment, the headquarters of the Boxer Corps in Harbin reported!

Below is Wang Zheng's name.

Zhu Chuanwu was stunned by this big hat all of a sudden, and looked at his father and brother stupidly, and tears flowed out of his eyes at once! (To be continued......)
