Chapter 56: The War Begins

In the blink of an eye, the ten-day holiday passed quickly, and all the guys came back, only Li San did not come back.

He Yan didn't know what his situation was, the timeline in the TV series was very messy, in 1898, he also arrested Kang Liang Yudang, Li San went home, but a few days later, when he came back, he had already started a war with the Eight-Nation Alliance.

He was also taken away, and then ran out again, and he didn't know where he went for two years.

However, He Yan didn't care about this matter at all, Li San was not there, so let Kuizi take his place first, anyway, it would not affect the normal business of the teahouse, and nothing would be delayed.

Some days have passed in a blink of an eye, and that night, He Yan was watching the TV series Lin Shen saw the deer in the house.

He Yan is so angry when I watch this TV series, these three male protagonists are three licking dogs, one is more than the other.

He Yan has abandoned the drama several times, if it weren't for the fact that the house might travel through the past in the future, he wouldn't have watched the broken TV series.

Just then, there was a knock on the backyard door.

Chunni came out of the house as soon as she heard and knocked on the door.

However, He Yan told her that she was not allowed to answer the door at night, so she stood in the courtyard, and if He Yan didn't come out for a long time, she was calling He Yan.

He Yan put away the computer and came out of the house, went over to open it and saw that it was Li San, who had not been seen for many days, who had returned.

Li San completely looked like he was fleeing, and when he saw He Yan, he shouted, "Shopkeeper." ”

He Yan looked at him like this and said, "Third Master? ”

"How did you get this?"

"Come on in."

The two walked into the courtyard, and Li San said: "Shopkeeper, let's plan to go east, I almost won't see it." ”

He Yan asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Li Sandao: "You said that I went home this time, and the ground in Shandong was all messed up." ”

"On my way back, I was first captured by the Boxers."

"They said I was a spy of foreigners, so they asked me to dig tunnels for them, cut wires, and I ran away secretly."

"After running away, I let the foreigners catch me again."

"They asked me to work again, to carry things for them, and I sneaked away again."

"When I ran to Langfang, I ran into a war again."

"Thanks to the fact that I ran into our Qing soldiers, I didn't embarrass me, so I continued to run."

"I didn't run back until today."

"But I heard that the foreigners have occupied Tongzhou, and the capital is not safe anymore."

"If you don't have a shopkeeper, let's keep running, shall we?"

Zhang Xiuying, who also came out, said to He Yan after hearing this, and said hurriedly: "Big brother, what should we do?" ”

He Yan said: "It's okay, don't worry, Lafayette didn't run, don't panic first." ”

Li San said: "I listen to you, and you can do what you say." ”

He Yan said: "Chunni, go and get some water for the third master." ”

"Yes." Chunni answered and went.

Li San said: "I'll just do it myself." ”

He Yan said: "It's okay, let her go." ”

"After washing, let Master Ming get rid of the food for you, and then rest early."

"Xiuying, you can go back too, stay at home with peace of mind, it's okay."

"Listen to the eldest brother." Zhang Xiuying went back to the house after speaking. ”

A day has passed in the blink of an eye.

In the middle of the night, it was time for the coalition forces to attack.

No one had the heart to drink tea on this day.

For example, in the house of Second Master Song, he had already hidden the valuable things in the family, as well as his crickets, and the little yellow bird was with him, ready to hide in the cellar at any time.

And Chang Siye was very rigid, just when he was concerned about the war and stood in the courtyard looking at the capital, his daughter-in-law proposed that the whole family run away and go out to hide.

Chang Siye hated foreigners, and when he heard it, he directly refused: "I didn't do anything wrong, I was afraid of something, so I didn't run." ”

When the daughter-in-law saw it, she had to go back to the house and stay.

And Liu Mazi was desperate, he secretly prepared a cross, and if the foreigners really came in, he would make it a church.

In this way, not only will their family be fine, but he will also be able to use this to do something bad on the street.

And He Yan is ready to help.

A sparrow drone has been placed in Chaoyangmen, Dongzhimen, Dongbianmen, and Guangqumen, ready to watch the battle.

When it was midnight, the vanguard of Lao Maozi's army was the first to arrive at Dongbianmen and started fighting directly.

After He Yan fell asleep, he fascinated her again, and then watched the battle in the house.

Just watch the Boxers shoot each other with Lao Maozi on the city tower.

Although the Boxers were poorly equipped, mainly cold weapons, they were strictly guarded to the death, and although the vanguard of Lao Maozi tried their best to attack, they could not defeat it.

And the Boxers are still guilty of the same mistakes as when they were in Tianjin.

In fact, the equipment of the Qing army is not bad at all, and the armed guards are basically equipped with Mauser rifles, but they just don't know how to use them, and the firepower is very dense when attacking, but they retreat after one shot.

At that time, when He Yan was fighting in Jinmen, he also saw that he was fine, and after seeing this situation, He Yan was angry and scolded, you think this is the front gun, and you went back to change the ammunition, pulled the bolt and continued to them.

It is for this reason that machine guns such as Maxim and Gatling have been shelved.

He Yan watched that after the coalition forces captured Tianjin, there were 30,000 of the latest Mauser rifles seized from the arsenal alone, and this gun was more advanced than the guns of the Austrian army.

Just this time, the coalition forces captured more of these weapons than their entire coalition army, and fortunately, even the foreigners were stunned, saying that they couldn't hold them with two hands.

This is just guns, not to mention artillery, the most advanced Krupp, Grussen, Armsetron and other large, medium and small cannons, shells, were also captured by the coalition forces.

And when the fight started, the common people of Jinmen even went to persuade the Qing army guarding the south gate, so that the Qing army would not resist, saying that as long as the Qing army did not shell the foreigners in the city, the foreigners would not shell us, and the Qing army withdrew after hearing this.

This made the coalition army attacking the south gate not encounter the Qing defenders at all, and only encountered a small number of Boxers after entering the city, and the coalition army was killed more than 900, and 25 officers and officers died.

And Song Qing and Ma Yukun, who were guarding outside the city, did not resist, and as soon as the two sides started a battle, they ran away directly with people.

These two goods are afraid of foreigners, just like those officials who were afraid of the Huns when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was about to fight the Huns.

Seeing He Yan, he wanted to use mosquito drones to kill these two people who retreated without a fight.

But in the end, I thought about it, if I opened a teahouse, I wouldn't the emperor's heart, so I let them go.

And the reason why He Yan watched the battle here was to see the excitement, and secondly, it was okay when the Qing Dynasty first started fighting.

He Yan started from Langfang, on June 10, Seymour took more than 800 people and several artillery pieces to the capital by train, and when he arrived in Langfang, the railway had been dug by the Boxers and could not advance.

Just as they were building the railway, they were attacked by the Boxers and forced to retreat to Langfang Railway Station.
