The old gentleman began to be silent when he saw him say a word, knowing that he had understood the whole thing. sighed lightly: "Your current batch of young students, more than enough blood and bravery, listen to the wind is the rain!" As long as someone with a heart takes out the hat of national righteousness and incites you, he will immediately be used by others. ”

Everyone in the hall nodded secretly when they heard this, and now bandits are intertwined with warlords in various places, and the whole country is in chaos. The students didn't really have anything serious to do except march and shout slogans all day long.

The student in the blue cloth coat looked at his companion who was bowing his head and contemplating beside him, raised his hand to support the small round eyes on the bridge of his nose, got up and saluted the old gentleman, and said, "Sir has unique insights and is deafening, and the student also wants to ask you a question!" ”

The old gentleman waved his hand and said angrily: "You just made a noisy noise, and I am not deaf, I already know what you want to ask!" ”

Everyone laughed.

The blue coat student's face turned red, and after waving at everyone, he sat down again.

The old gentleman stroked the gray beard on his chin and thought for a while, tapped his fingers lightly on the table twice, and said, "I don't know where you heard the news that the Boxers were going to declare war with the foreigners. Although I haven't heard anything about this yet, with the consistent style of the Boxers, this possibility is quite high! ”

The peddler was so addicted to this that he simply stopped doing business, and put the box of cigarettes on the table, squeezed his butt on the bench of the young man in the cardigan, and squeezed him until he rolled his eyes.

"As I said just now, the number of Boxers is immeasurable, and there may be a lot of them, or a total of 200,000 people, even the old and the young. But after all, more than 20 years have passed, which is enough time to train a new generation of Boxer disciples. ”

The blue cloth coat student said: "The old gentleman is saying that this Commander Wang Zheng Wang is a new generation of Boxer disciples?" ”

The old gentleman picked up the teacup and put it to his lips and said, "There is no doubt about this at all, as long as you compare it a little, you can easily see it." Just think about it. Twenty years ago, when the Boxers were in trouble, a group of refugees who knew a little kung fu were chaotically charging at the muzzles of foreigners' guns with big blades, killing the enemy with their lives. Up to now, a well-disciplined regiment has annihilated all the foreigners from a distance of dozens of meters with dense artillery fire. It's not just a little bit or two! It can be seen from this that this time the Boxer Rebellion appeared in front of people's eyes again in this form, showing such determination! ”

"Sir, since you have confirmed the news, then I want to say a few words!" The student in the blue cloth coat said solemnly: "It is right that we hate foreigners, not only do we hate them for bullying our country and people. And hate them for plundering our wealth and power. But revenge is a profound science, and it cannot be solved by simply killing. The Boxers can now be said to be strong and strong, but that also has to be compared with whom. It's not that the students look down on it, it's that it's really powerless in the face of the Japanese and Russian powers. Now such an unscrupulous arrest and killing of foreigners is no different from a baby provoking a strong man, and the final result can only be an extremely miserable failure......"

The old gentleman interrupted him with a wave of his hand: "I know what you mean, it is nothing more than a feeling of unreliability about the strength of the Boxer Legion, and feeling that they are not self-sufficient against Japan and Russia, and will only lead to destruction in the end." So I don't want to be coerced by them into the people under the system and become the 'escape egg' at the last moment of nesting! ”

The blue cloth coat's face was slightly red, but he said loudly: "Yes, that's what the student thinks." But if you can save the people of Heilongjiang. What is my disgrace! ”

The young man in the cardigan slapped the table and said: "What is this shame, it's nothing more than that I feel that my backer is not hard enough and wants to leave a way back." Normal very! ”

The old gentleman shook his hand and said, "It's not that simple! This comeback of the Boxers is clearly extraordinary. The various military configurations are dazzling, and most of the war horses under his command are inexhaustible. It must be backed by a big backer. However, judging from the attitude of the Boxers towards foreigners, it is thought that no foreigner government would dare to support them. In this way, it seems that the big family of the Chinese people that we don't know about is supporting. ”

He paused slightly. continued: "Let's not care who is supporting them, it should be no problem to gather some discerning staff members in the arms configuration of the foreign troops they are killing now." Do you think such a large group of intelligent people would not be able to think of your concerns? ”

The blue cloth coat was fluttered for a long time before he spoke: "What does Mr. mean ......?"

The old gentleman nodded and said, "A person may be a fool, and there may be fools in a group, but a group will never be all fools and fools, as long as they have smart people who think of this problem, they will discuss and prepare for this problem in all aspects." With the current strength and territory of the Boxer Legion, there is no problem in making some small moves. Then we're pretty much sure. There are only two possibilities for them to do so now! ”

Everyone couldn't help but lean forward, obviously their attention was attracted by the Guan Zi he sold. The peddler was even more anxious to scratch his ears and cheeks, pour tea and curry favor, and even gritted his teeth and took out a good cigarette from his wooden box and lit it for him.

The old gentleman took a puff of cigarette and said slowly: "First, the Boxers have absolute confidence that they can protect their forces and repel any threats from all sides with the support of their backs. Second, the Boxers are playing a game! ”

"Doing a game?" The people around them screamed at the same time, which they really didn't expect. From his discussion just now, everyone subconsciously regarded the Boxers as the weak side, and did not think that they might fight back.

"That's right, let's do it!" The old gentleman nodded and said, "No matter what is hidden behind the Boxers, there are still 200,000 people in his open face. Although it is said that the advantage of facing the enemy head-on is not large, it is still a big knife to use as a surprise soldier. The Boxers blatantly killed foreigners, and even for the sake of domestic public opinion, these two countries will inevitably come forward to seek justice, and when the Boxers only need to make another move, it will not be difficult to bite off a large piece of their flesh. ”

The blue cloth coat hesitated: "This can't be, there are already 200,000 troops on the surface." In the south, there is Zhang Zuolin, who has been bitten into a province by them, and in the north, there is the Russian army that has been offended. In the east, there is Japan, which is hated by the enemy, and in the west, there is the rebellious Mongolian horse, which is simply embattled. Where else can there be any backhand? ”

"That's just my guess." The old gentleman smiled slightly and said, "Just like you think that they have no power to fight back, just a group of bandits who hold the people hostage to survive!" ”

At this moment, the big wooden box, which had been silent for a while, came out with a melodious singing: "The big knife cut off the heads of the devils......"

Everyone hurriedly listened. In the past few days, the sound pattern of this big box called what kind of radio has been figured out by everyone. Every morning at 6 o'clock in the morning, a fifteen-minute news program was broadcast, the first half of which recounted the major events that had taken place throughout China, and the second half of which was a report on minor events in Heilongjiang, which was controlled by the Boxers. Finally, a few words will be released to announce the decision of the upper echelons of the Boxer Rebellion.

Everyone is used to reading newspapers, and at first they were a little uncomfortable, but later they found that listening to reports here is much easier than reading the newspaper by themselves, not only do they not have to spend money, but they can also have a free hand and feet to have breakfast or something.

The next 45 minutes were to publicize the regulations on the militarized management of the Boxer Army, although it was a little boring, but it was still more interesting to say it to the people of the Republic of China who found something to speak for themselves. But for the old customers, it doesn't matter whether they listen or not. But the five minutes from seven o'clock sharp, it is true that everyone is most concerned.

In fact, it can be seen from the lyrics of the strange songs before the start that in just a few minutes, it was all the radical decisions of the Boxers. This kind of important and exciting news is, of course, the favorite of the general public!

“…… Our country lives next to Russia and should be fraternal and help each other. The people of our country are kind-hearted and cannot bear the suffering of the people of other countries, so they often donate food and clothes generously to help him survive natural disasters. Whoever thinks of Russia's wolf ambitions, not only does not want to repay the favor, but actually encroaches on the fertile land of the benefactor. From 1858 to 1915, Russia repeatedly raised troops on our borders and ceded more than 1.5 million square kilometers of China's territory through a series of unequal treaties......

The small trader looked back at the young man in the cardigan and said blankly: "How big is 1.5 million square kilometers?" ”

Xiao Ying's face was dark, his hands were clenched tightly, and he gritted his teeth and squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "Fifteen million land!" ”

The old gentleman saw that he was still a little ignorant, and knew that there was no such unit as Wan in this child's subconscious. I couldn't help but sigh and said, "Three Heilongjiang provinces are so big!" ”

"Shhhh Suddenly there was a sound of gasping in the lobby. It seems that there are many people who don't understand how things are coming.

The small trader jumped up all of a sudden, shouting: "Oh, my mother, the Russian red-haired ghost actually robbed us of the three Heilongjiang provinces?" ”

The young man slapped him on the back of the head and shouted, "Shut up, listen to what is still being said there." Since the Boxers have told the news at this time, they will definitely not be spared! (To be continued......)
