Chapter 471 Before the War (3)
When everyone met, they were naturally very excited. After sitting down in the room, Pang Wanquan said, "Brother Li, Beijing was broken that day, and we never saw you. When we asked other brothers, we didn't see you. We thought you were gone, but we didn't expect you to be alive."
,
Li Zhuangyong smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, we were disbanded by foreign ghosts that day. I took dozens of brothers to retreat to the southeast. Later, seeing that the foreigners were powerful and even the imperial court sent troops to arrest us, they could no longer stand in Hebei, so they had to escape to Shandong."
At this time, Liu Fuyong suddenly said, "Brother Li, what's wrong with your clothes and hat? It's so much like the clothes of the People's Army."
It turned out that Li Zhuangyong was still wearing the military uniform and cap of the People's Army. He was used to coming here in the past few months. When he saw Liu Fuyong ask, he nodded and said, "Yes, when we were in Shandong, we met the People's Army. At that time, we were desperate and saw that the People's Army was fighting foreign devils, so we all joined the People's Army."
After hearing this, Liu Fuyong couldn't help but look excited and said, "Brother Li, are you talking about how the People's Army is? The day before yesterday, the People's Army set up two tables outside the city, saying that they were going to recruit soldiers. The brothers were discussing going to join the People's Army? I didn't expect you to join the People's Army first."
Li Zhuangyong was stunned and said, "Are you planning to join the People's Army?"
Pang Wanquan said: "Some brothers think this way, but everyone is just discussing it and has not decided yet? Because we don't know what the People's Army is like?"
Liu Fuyong said, "Brother Li is in the People's Army? Moreover, the People's Army is indeed killing foreign ghosts. I heard that when they captured Beijing, there were thousands of foreign ghosts and the blood in the palace could be rowed. So following them to kill foreign ghosts, you can definitely kill them. When we entered Beijing, we saw the People's Army escorting a team of foreign ghosts and digging mud?"
After hearing this, Li Zhuangyong's face couldn't help but be in a shady and sunny face. He stayed in the People's Army for almost four months. Although he had many dissatisfaction with the People's Army, he had to admit that the People's Army's abilities were far above the Boxer Regiment, and it was a hundred times stronger than the Qing army. Moreover, the biggest difference between the army Li Zhuangyong knew was that the People's Army had indeed achieved the integration of officers and soldiers. Officers basically did not put on airs in front of soldiers, and military disciplines and rules treated all officers and soldiers equally. Therefore, Li Zhuangyong did not want to say bad things about the People's Army.
When everyone saw Li Zhuangyong's face change, they knew that things were not as simple as they thought, so they were waiting for Li Zhuangyong to say it. After a while, Li Zhuangyong said: "Brother Liu is right. The People's Army is indeed fighting foreign devils. To be honest, I participated in the battle to attack Beijing in the People's Army and killed more than a dozen foreign devils with my own hands."
After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but admire. Although the Boxers advocated anti-foreign xenophobia, not many foreigners actually killed. Instead, they killed a lot of so-called Ergangs and Sangangs. The so-called Ergangs refer to Chinese people who have direct relationships with foreigners, such as Chinese religious citizens, students from foreign schools, or working in foreign trade shops, servants, etc., while Sangangs are Chinese people who have relationships with foreigners. Therefore, if a foreigner is really killed in the Boxers, they will be regarded as a hero by the Boxers. Li Zhuangyong claimed that he had killed more than a dozen foreign devils, which is a great thing in the Boxers.
Liu Fuyong said anxiously: "Isn't that good? I'm just trying to kill a few foreign devils."
Li Zhuangyong shook his head and said, "Everyone, listen to me. Although overseas Chinese have beaten foreigners, they are not the same as us. They are not irreconcilable and irreconcilable."
Liu Fuyong was stunned and said, "What's going on? Since he is fighting a foreigner, why aren't he incompatible with the foreigner?"
Li Zhuangyong sorted out his thoughts and said: "Although overseas Chinese have fought against foreigners, they are not all foreigners. They only kill foreign soldiers and foreigners who are against them. They will not kill ordinary foreigners, such as foreign merchants and missionaries. Even foreign soldiers who surrendered to them will not kill them. Moreover, under their rule, if they kill foreigners indiscriminately or take foreigners' things, they will be punished. As far as I know, overseas Chinese also plan to do business with foreigners."
After hearing what Li Zhuangyong said, Guan Yingshan immediately became violent and said, "That overseas Chinese are either Ermaozi or Sanmaozi, and they are not good things. Whatever they say is to revive China is a lie."
Qi Biao also said: "I'm just saying that overseas Chinese are just saying that they are living overseas, so don't they just live with foreigners? From this point of view, overseas Chinese and foreigners are all the same products."
It turned out that the Boxer Rebellion was an extreme anti-foreign xenophobia. For the Boxer Rebellion, all foreigners deserved to die. All matters related to foreigners, such as foreign fire, foreign oil, foreign cloth, and foreign pens, should be rejected. During the Boxer Rebellion's highest period, many Chinese were killed because they carried foreign goods. Therefore, Li Zhuangyong's statement naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of Guan Yingshan and Qi Biao with overseas Chinese.
Liu Fuyong was still a little puzzled and said, "If overseas Chinese were all the same as foreigners, why did they fight with foreigners? It's not fake to kill foreigners on the battlefield."
When Li Zhuangyong heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. In fact, this is something he had never understood. He stayed in the People's Army for 4 months. Naturally, he could see that overseas Chinese and foreigners were not the same as they were. Moreover, they did oppose foreigners, but why did they protect foreigners and do business with foreigners? In fact, Li Zhuangyong was so strict that he could still tolerate the strict military discipline of the People's Army, but his attitude towards foreigners was unbearable.
After thinking for a while, Li Zhuangyong said: "I don't know what overseas Chinese think, but I won't say anything else. Even in this Beijing city, after overseas Chinese occupied Beijing, they kept all foreign missionaries and foreign embassies and foreign embassies, and were not killed or imprisoned. This is all true."
After listening to Li Zhuangyong's words, Liu Fuyong was speechless. Although he did not go to see the church or the embassy, he had always heard some news and knew that Li Zhuangyong was not wrong. No matter what the reason for overseas Chinese was, it was contrary to the principles of the Boxer Rebellion.
At this time, Li Zhuangyong said again: "I joined the People's Army, initially to kill foreigners. Later, it was revealed that overseas Chinese were not the same as us. They did have fought with foreigners for several battles and beat foreigners to the point of failure. Therefore, I also want to learn to see what overseas Chinese have to do. In the future, we will also learn to fight foreigners and avenge our fellow brothers."
This sentence immediately aroused everyone's interest and changed the subject. Qi Biao immediately asked: "Yes, Brother Li, what is the way for this overseas Chinese to beat foreigners to the point of falling."
Li Zhuangyong said: "It's very simple to say. Foreigners rely only on sharp foreign guns. To deal with foreigners, they can only use the same foreign gun as them."
Guan Yingshan was anxious when he heard this, and suddenly jumped up and said, "Anything that foreigners are not good things, how can we use foreign guns?"
Li Zhuangyong asked him to sit down first, and then said, "We kill foreigners and erectile dysfunction. The three-men are not good. However, foreigners are not good things, which is wrong. In fact, foreigners also use our things. Why can't we use foreigners' things, good things, useful things? We have also seen the power of foreign guns. There is a magical power in the hall that can stop them. Overseas Chinese can beat foreigners to the point of being in trouble because their army all use foreign guns. Therefore, we have to continue to work with foreigners, and only use foreign guns. Besides, this foreign gun was actually first in China. In the Ming Dynasty, we had it, called bird guns, so we use foreign guns, so we actually use our old sect's things."
In fact, at this point, everyone knew that the magical skills of the Boxer Rebellion were all deceitful things. These people all hid from the rain of bullets and knew that they could not stop the foreigners' musket shooting. However, no one was able to say it first. Li Zhuangyong worked in the People's Army for several months, but he had fewer concerns and became the child who said that the emperor was not wearing any clothes.
Li Zhuangyong said again: "How many people do you have now? How many other brothers are there?"
Pang Wanquan said: "Now we have 30 people, including Junior Brother Wang and Junior Brother Zhou. The other brothers are all dead. We are now hiding in Xiaoguanbei Village outside Beijing." After a pause, he said: "I heard that Zhao San Ge is now in Dongzhao Village, Guangzong County, Guangzong County, Shunde (now Xingtai City), and is recruiting old members of the Boxer Rebellion. It is said that he has recruited hundreds of people and is preparing to do another big fight. Some brothers advocate going to join Zhao San Ge."
Li Zhuangyong knew that the Brother Zhao Sanduo, who Pang Wanquan said, was Zhao Sanduo, one of the earliest leaders of the Boxer Rebellion. He was originally the descendant of the plum blossom boxing. However, Zhao Sanduo had always been active in Shandong. Although he later moved to Hebei, he did not act in Beijing. However, he was well-known in the Boxer Rebellion and had a certain amount of force. When Li Zhuangyong was in a group in Shandong, he met Zhao Sanduo several times, so he went to join Zhao Sanduo, which was a way out.
So Li Zhuangyong nodded and said, "Okay, I still have more than a dozen brothers here, and we have 4 or 5o people in total. We should hide in Xiaoguanbei Village for a few more days. Then we will go to join Brother Zhao San together."
Pang Wanquan said: "Brother Li, when are you planning to leave the People's Army?"
