Chapter 50 Xuanwu Gate

"The latest news, the latest news! Li Xiake appeared in Lushun in Northeast China, burned down the Biaozhong Building in Baiyu Mountain, killed the Japanese army commander Komura Masao, and captured the traitor Liu Yutian alive!"

On the beach in Shanghai, the young newsboy's immature voices resounded through the streets in the early morning, and the content of their shouting attracted the attention of passers-by in long shirts or people in suits, and when they passed by the newsboy, they would pay for a copy.

It's been almost a month since Li Xiake made a big fuss on the streets of the beach, and his whole person seems to have disappeared suddenly, as if he was lurking again, like a predatory tiger, hiding in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity to act.

As a result, everyone was nervous, not only the Japanese, but even a group of Chinese foreign ambassadors were nervous, fearing that Li Xiake would go crazy and cut off their heads.

Not only foreigners are nervous, but even Chinese can't sleep, since Li Xiake disappeared, Yuan Shikai's mansion has been patrolled and guarded by more than fifty soldiers with loaded guns every day, and several Manchu surrender princes are also frightened, and need to smoke opium to relieve tension.

Since ancient times, no one has been clean when it comes to big things, so everyone is a little afraid of Li Xiake.

A knife is most frightening only when it is raised but not yet fallen.

Now that Li Xiake is acting so violently, there is no one in the world who he does not dare to kill and cannot kill, so after he disappeared in hiding, all the people who have done unbearable things are all terrified in their hearts, fearing that one day disaster will fall from the sky, and General Fei will fall to the ground and take his head.

Now that there is news of him again, many people are extremely concerned, and even ordinary people want to know what earth-shattering things Li Xiake has done.

"Sell newspapers, sell newspapers!"

The newsboy kept repeating the news he heard today on the street: "Li Xiake captured the traitor Liu Yutian alive, and now he is advancing all the way to the Central Plains from outside the Guanxi!"

Today's newspapers, as long as they are related to Li Xiake, they are selling very hot, and now there are dozens of theories on the market about Li Xiake's origin, some people say that he is a heavenly killer star, specializing in killing demons, protecting the family and defending the country, and some people say that he is Erlang Zhenjun in the lower realm, and the red line in his eyebrows can testify.

More people think that Li Xiake should be the legendary swordsman's descendant, and he saw that the world was in chaos, so he went out of the mountain to subdue demons......

"After Li Xiake caught the traitor Liu Yutian, he deliberately got a cage car, pulled him along the street to sell, tied a wooden sign to him, and wrote 'Big Traitor Liu Yutian', who wants to slap Liu Yutian, charge one penny, punch one, charge three wen, cut meat with a knife, charge five wen......"

In the Jingwu Sect, Chen Zhen finished reading today's newspaper in the courtyard, and all the Jingwu Sect disciples in the courtyard were in an uproar.

"Li Daxia is so powerful, it's only been a few days, he actually came to Lushun from us and killed a group of Japanese!"

"The newspaper said that he also burned down the Biaozhong Pagoda built by the Japanese army in Baiyushan, and now he has arrested the big traitor Liu Yutian.

"Oh, Li Daxia is too cruel like this, isn't it? After Liu Yutian caught it, he killed him and killed him, why torture him like this? This does not match his identity as a hero!"

"This is what you should do when dealing with traitors and lackeys! I think Li Daxia is right to do this!"

Regarding the matter of Li Xiake pulling Liu Yutian along the street to sell, not only the disciples of the Jingwu Sect talked about it, but the whole of China was overturned because of this matter.

Some people think that this is the way to deal with traitors, but some people feel that since Liu Yutian has been arrested, he will be killed if he is killed, so why humiliate him so much? This is not the practice of civilized society at all. Moreover, Li Xiake's attack was too violent, and he wanted to cut off people's heads at every turn, which caused great controversy in the international community, and many people abroad regarded the Chinese as a barbaric and uncivilized nation.

Anyway, some people applauded, and some people denied it.

However, many people gave a positive attitude towards the whole incident of Li Xiake killing the Japanese officer and capturing Liu Yutian alive, and some people condemned Li Xiake.

Because just ten days after Li Xiake made a big fuss in Lushun, the Japanese army began to carry out large-scale retaliation against China and began to massacre the innocent people in Lushun and the surrounding areas.

At this time of crisis, Yuan Shikai reached a temporary agreement with the Southern Revolutionary Army, served as the provisional president of the Republic of China, commanded the soldiers and horses of the whole country, and ordered Zhang Zuolin in the northeast to lead the army to resist the invasion of the Japanese army.

Now that the Japanese emperor's family has been killed, and the former shogunate forces have counterattacked, the Japanese army in Lushun has launched a war against China, in fact, it is not an order from the Japanese military department, and it is a temporary intention, so after ten days of fighting with Zhang Zuolin, the two sides have ceased fire.

In this battle, Zhang Zuolin lost more than 1,000 soldiers, and the Japanese army also lost more than 200, which was already the smallest casualty ratio in the history of China's foreign warfare since the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

The most important thing is that it did not fail, but drawn, and even pushed the front forward for dozens of miles.

This is also good news for Chinese to improve national self-esteem, and many people feel angry when they mention this matter.

Since the Opium War, the Qing government has been defeated and retreated, and there has never been even a victory, and occasionally a victory has been made, which is also a coincidence, and after the other side counterattacked, it could only kneel and sign a traitorous treaty, and exchange land for temporary peace.

Anyway, in the eyes of Cixi and others of the Manchu government, China is the China of the Chinese, not the China of their Manchus, so the land reparations are not painful, anyway, the children of the Eight Banners do not have to pay taxes, and the reparations are all exploited from the Han people, what do they have to be sad about?

But this has suffered the Chinese people at this time, there is a saying that pigs and dogs are not as good, in fact, the Chinese people at the bottom at this time are really not much better than pigs and dogs.

That's why there have been one riot after another, and there has been the rise of the revolutionary army.

Now Zhang Zuolin was able to withstand the attack of the Japanese army, which had surprised many people, and when Yuan Shikai wanted to send troops to support Zhang Zuolin, Western countries stepped in and wanted to mediate.

So when Li Xiake drove the cage to Beijing, Yuan Shikai was negotiating with the ministers of many countries about the Japanese army.

"Come, take a look, take a look! This is the big traitor Liu Yutian! Li Daxia said, a slap and a penny, a kick and a punch are also a penny! Is there a beating? Is there any? If not, we will enter the city!"

Near the gate of Beijing's Xuanwu Gate, a young man with a leprosy head stood on a carriage, holding a gong in his hand, and shouting as he banged: "Walk by, don't miss it! The person in this cage is the big traitor Liu Yutian! Li Daxia said that today he will be dragged into Beijing City and beheaded in the city to show the public! If you don't fight, you won't have a chance!"

Li Xiake was holding a spear, and his waist-crushing saber slowly followed beside the cage car, Liu Yutian in the cage car was no longer human, his two ears had been bitten off, and there were many small cuts on his cheeks, and there was almost no complete piece of meat on his body.

Since Li Xiake left Lushun, he has been acting in a high-profile manner, never avoiding the crowd through the prefecture and county, the local government personnel are afraid of him, no one dares to stop him, there is a Manchu official who is not used to his arrogant appearance, and wants to kill Li Xiake with artillery, but Li Xiake is furious, and all the dozen people who deliberately murder him are killed.

Seeing that he was so fierce, all the officials along the way were in danger, and some corrupt officials were afraid that they would be killed by him, Li Xiake, so they ran away from the county government with their families.

Now Li Xiake's deterrent power alone is comparable to a wave of chaotic parties.

Now he is swaggering to grab the traitor and want to enter Beijing City, this is simply a provocation to the entire Beijing government, you Li Xiake kill people in private, forget it, the people do not raise officials and do not hold them accountable, and it is the Japanese who kill, if you really talk about it, no one should condemn you.

In terms of the law, Li Xiake is a murderer after all, and he is a thug who has killed hundreds of people, no matter whether he kills a good person or a bad person, but killing people is a power that only people in the government can have, what qualifications does he Li Xiake have to kill?

He acts in private, and no one dares to care about it now, but now that he is entering Beijing in such a high-profile manner, no one can tolerate him.

Therefore, when the cage car arrived at the gate of Xuanwu Gate, a column of soldiers carrying spears was already waiting for him, and when they saw him approaching the city gate, they immediately loaded the bullet and aimed it at Li Xiake.

An officer rode out of the city gate and shouted at Li Xiake: "Li Xiake, you have made meritorious contributions to catching traitors, and President Yuan Da admires you very much, but you are so lawless, but you have also caused great trouble for China and greatly tarnished China's image! International public opinion is very unfavorable to China!"

When he said this, he took out his pistol and fired three shots in a row at the sky: "Li Daxia, let's go! You can't enter the capital like this!"

Li Xiake was furious: "Why can't I enter? Is it Yuan Shikai who won't let me in? Why is he?"
