Chapter 281, Provincial City

Back in Bao Zhilin, the east has appeared fish belly white. In the next few days www.biquge.info things gradually settled down, Ye Han won the hidden task reward, and Yan Zhengdong left Foshan lonely to complete the hidden mission of Yan Zhengdong not dying in Foshan.

Everything returned to calm, and as Xi Peng's injured people stabilized their injuries, fewer and fewer people remained in Bao Zhilin, and Bao Zhilin gradually returned to its former tranquility and peace. The militia was also released by the Admiral's Yamen, and in view of Liang Kuanyong's rescue of the thirteenth aunt (although he didn't do much help), Huang Feihong officially accepted Liang Kuan as an apprentice, and Ye Han was promoted to a senior brother (woo - finally don't have to be a junior brother).

Three months later, Ling Yunkai's hometown sent a letter asking him to go home and get married. Even though Ling Yunkai was unwilling in every way, he could only say goodbye to everyone and go home without filial piety. Admiral Zheng was honorably promoted because he handled Wiggins's affairs properly, and he was honorably promoted without merit. After the New Year, I will leave Foshan.

In a few months, Ye Han's basic refining body has also increased from one thousand jin to three thousand jin strength, and he has not even broken through the first layer after nearly a year of cultivation, which made Ye Han a little discouraged. The basic refining body is more difficult to cultivate than the basic method, one can be infinitely absorbed to allow the meridians to adapt to the flow of true yuan, and the other can be increased by hard training, which is not the same.

In July of the same year, Japan launched the Sino-Japanese War, which ended in April of the following year with the signing of the Treaty of Shimonoseki. The war ended with the defeat of the Qing Dynasty and the annihilation of the Beiyang Naval Division. Under military pressure from Japan, the Qing Dynasty government signed the Treaty of Shimonoseki, an unequal treaty that humiliated the country, and ceded Taiwan.

The whole country mourned, and at the same time, Li Hongzhang was extremely dissatisfied with Li Hongzhang, who signed the "Treaty of Shimonoseki", believing that he had lost his power and humiliated the country.

End of April. Huang Feihong received an invitation letter from the Provincial Medical Association, inviting him to participate in the International Medical Exchange Conference. Huang Feihong thought for a long time and decided to take Aunt Thirteen and Liang Kuan to the provincial capital together, Lin Shirong wanted to see that the militia had no time to get out, and Bao Zhilin left Ye Han and Ya Chasu to take care of it together. can see the father of the nation with his own eyes, (although it is Zhang Tielin's two hundred and five performances, but the father of the nation is the father of the country, and Zhang Tielin is Zhang Tielin, so they can't be judged together.) After discussing with Huang Feihong, he went to the provincial capital first.

took the steam train to the provincial capital to rest for a night, and went to the train station early the next morning, Huang Feihong took the morning steam train, thinking of the things they ate on the train, they should not have eaten enough, looked up and saw the wine and meat, and immediately went into the restaurant to buy some steamed buns to satisfy their hunger.

Upstairs, singing and dancing, walking birds, and drinking morning tea, are in stark contrast to the streets downstairs, which are full of people holding white cloth strips and demonstrators, and the cloth sticks read: 'Oppose the Treaty of Shimonoseki,' 'Oppose Li Hongzhang's begging for peace with Japan,' 'Support the nationwide public test' and other manifestos.

"Oppose the Treaty of Shimonoseki and oppose the cession of Taiwan." The marching slogans are stronger than the others.

A few people who liked to be lively heard the sound, and asked with great interest as they leaned on the windowsill and pointed to the street parade. "Hey, hey, hey, look, there's a lot of people over there, what's written on it?"

"I don't know how to read, you ask someone else, don't bother me to watch the fun."

"Where is Taiwan? How can you cede it to someone else after the war? ”

"Taiwan must be leaning against the sea. Otherwise, how can it be called a bay! ”

"I don't know how big it is. The provincial capital can't take care of it, so what else can it do? Let's have tea. ”

"Huh, tea, tea."

"Let's talk about it when we're full."

Ye Han shook his head and waited for the guy to wrap it, and then carried the oiled paper bag downstairs. This is the current situation of the Chinese people, the Qing government's hundreds of years of rule has caused the Chinese people to have long been accustomed to sweeping the snow in front of their own homes, regardless of the frost on the tiles of others. This is the consciousness that comes from the heart, and even if Ye Han has the heart, he can't change the status quo.

"Hey, neighbors, the White Lotus Sect has opened an altar at the door of the telegraph office, and it is not going to worship yet!" One person rushed into the restaurant and said loudly.

"White Lotus Sect?!" Ye Han naturally knew that the main plot of this movie was Huang Feihong's fight against the White Lotus Sect in Guangzhou. The White Lotus Sect can be said to be famous in history, and it has begun to appear in the Southern Song Dynasty, but in the Yuan Dynasty, in order to resist the rule of the Yuan Dynasty, it was listed as a cult by the Yuan government, such as the famous Ming Dynasty founding emperor Zhu Yuanzhang was a member of the Ming Sect alongside it, and Monk Peng, one of the five scattered people of the Ming Sect in Mr. Jin Yong's novel, is also a member of the White Lotus Sect, as well as Wang Cong'er and Yao Zhifu of the Qing Dynasty, all of whom are heroes who resisted the brutal rule during the change of dynasty, and they are really not cult members.

At this time, the White Lotus Sect, under the pretext of fake immortals, violently expropriated and bury money, indiscriminately burned and killed all things related to foreigners, whether it was foreigners or Chinese people who returned from studying abroad, the means were extremely brutal, and the Pope Jiugong Zhenren also used an iron plate to block in front of him and pretend to be dressed up, panicking that the Jiugong Zhenren could be invulnerable to knives and guns, and could enter the vacuum hometown of the childless mother after death, causing the ignorant sect members to be stupid and suffer death when facing foreign guns, which is really a true cult.

With these shouts, many of the people who had eaten stopped eating, those who bought things did not buy, and those who sold things stopped selling, and one by one they ran towards the front like ducks being driven. Looking at the crowd of people running, leaving behind a messy street, Ye Han couldn't help frowning, it seems that this White Lotus Sect is a little more capable than he imagined, no wonder even the government has no way to take them.

Looking at the empty streets, I remembered that in the original movie, Aunt Thirteen and Liang Kuan ended up causing trouble because of reckless photography, so I thought about it a little and walked along the crowd.

"Okay, then I'll go and see what this White Lotus Sect is capable of!"

"Hurry up, it's time to open the altar! ……”

Along the way, ordinary people dragged their families and mouths like water flowing into the sea and walked forward, Ye Han followed the flow of people and walked forward, and soon came to a place that obviously has a similar modern style in front of the building, these buildings are hung in front of the national flags of various colors, Ye Han looked, there are Australia, Italy, France, etc., it seems that this is the so-called concession.

Walking into the concession, I saw that in front of a building that read "Australasian Oriental Branch (China) Telegraph Company", all the ordinary people formed a large circle, and there was a group of people in white robes in the circle carrying several unknown clay Buddha statues, as if they were really going to open the altar.

In front of those buildings, some officers and soldiers with knives and simple Mauser guns stood guard at the door of the telegraph company, but when they saw that those who opened the altar shouted, "This is an important place for the government, go away," their eyes were obviously still afraid of those people, and they did not dare to come forward to drive people away.

"Heaven and earth come together, killing foreigners. Now there is a white lotus to save the world, drive away the evil demons and pass them on to all generations...... "A hexagram chief of the hexagram took the rune paper and scattered it around, and there were words in his mouth, as if he was reciting some kind of charm.

Seeing the actions of the person from the White Lotus Sect, Ye Han couldn't help but shake his head, if this altar is so easy to open, is it still an altar? Is this an altar or a madness?

However, the ordinary people surrounding him looked at it with a reverent face, and even some people were holding incense in their hands and chanting words over there, or kneeling and kowtowing to those unknown Buddha statues made Ye Han frown.

The so-called kingdom is about to die, and demons will be born. The people are ignorant, the government is incompetent, whether it is the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom before, or the current White Lotus Sect, or even the Boxer Rebellion that even Cixi relied on a few years later, it is only a small part of the embodiment, and in the end it is these ordinary people who suffer.

"Heaven and earth come together, killing foreigners. Today, there is a white lotus to save the world, drive away the evil demons and pass them on to all generations! Burn the telegraph office ......"

The hexagram chief threw the burned rune paper in his hand in the direction of the telegraph company. But they didn't take a step forward, and the people behind them all stood still and shouted, but none of them really stepped forward to burn the telegraph office.

It seems that these people are not stupid either, they are crazy with an altar in front. Those officers and soldiers still can't do anything to them, if they are really close to the telegraph company, it is estimated that those officers and soldiers can only shoot at them in order not to lose their jobs. These people have been joining the White Lotus Sect for a long time, and of course they know that the so-called belief in the White Lotus Sect's invulnerability is fake. Go to your own death.

"The white lotus descends to earth, and all the people turn over! The white lotus descends to earth, and all the people turn over! ”

"Heaven and earth come together to kill the righteousness of foreigners......"

Burst! －－－

Suddenly, a strong electric light burst out from the corner of the wall not far from Ye Han, so frightened that not only the hexagram chief who was originally mindful and reciting words was stunned all of a sudden, but even the sect members and ordinary people next to him were startled, everyone seemed to be paused for a moment, and then looked towards the place where the electric light was emitted.

One was fair-skinned, slender and wore a bowler hat. A beautiful woman in a brown dress is holding a magnesium lamp and an old-fashioned camera next to her, standing on a man's shoulder and smiling at everyone.

"Thank you!" Seeing everyone looking at her, Aunt Thirteen smiled at everyone.

"Wow, this woman will discharge, run!" The people reacted, at this time, under the rendering of the White Lotus Sect, ordinary people had long regarded foreigners as demons, and when they saw the dress of the thirteenth aunt, and thought of the sudden flash just now, they all dispersed.

"Catch this demon ......" At this time, the hexagram chief also reacted. looked at the thirteenth aunt standing on Liang Kuan's body and shouted.

With a loud shout from the hexagram chief, everyone rushed in the direction of the thirteenth aunt.

"Aunt Thirteen!" Seeing the thirteenth aunt over there, after looking at the beam wide at the feet of the thirteenth aunt, she raised her eyebrows: "It's really not enough to succeed and more than to lose." ”

"Hey, hey. Hey, hey, hey, don't mess around! Liang Kuan, who was originally dreaming of spring, saw those people from the White Lotus Sect rushing over, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to protect Aunt Thirteen behind him, pointing at Aunt Thirteen and said, "She is a Tang person, how can she be a ghost?" You see clearly! ”
