Chapter 53. Rescue
"Third brother, although Sai Jinhua colluded with foreigners, she also saved millions of people in the capital and tied her up in the future..."
Jing Tinghua looked at his honest fifth brother Tinglin and rolled him with a grudge, "She is a prostitute, and she is not so capable of asking foreigners to listen to her. If it weren't for the support of two dog thieves Yuan Shikai and Li Hongzhang, could she be able to sign the "Xin Chou Terms" that was ruthless and humiliating? Don't forget, how did the eldest brother die..."
Speaking of the eldest brother Jing Tingbin, the Jing Tinglin brothers both felt a little red in their eyes.
In order to calm the anger of the Eight-Nation Alliance, the Qing court signed the "Xin Chou Treaty" in a dry pond, which made the originally shaky rule a little cold. In the local area, in addition to increasing taxes, each county had to forcibly pay "school plan compensation" and the farmers' harvests were more than twice.
Such heavy taxes have left countless farmers bankrupt, and even some small landlords are unable to bear it.
Under such a huge impact, Jing Tingbin, the successor of the Boxer Rebellion leader, took the lead in summoning the masses to protest, clearly stated that no donations of land and foreign donations were paid, and he organized the village associations to arm the self-defense.
On March 3, 1902, the Qing court dispatched troops to attack Dongzhao Village. Jing Tingbin led the uprising. Because he was outnumbered, he was forced to move. On April 23, he gathered people to revolt at Xiatou Temple in Julu County, erected the banner of "officials forcing the people to rebel" and "sweeping away the foreign countries", and was promoted to the "Major Marshal of the Dragon Group" and killed more than 100 invading Qing troops on the same day.
With this victory laid the groundwork, people from all over the country naturally responded, and the team quickly expanded to 30,000 to 40,000. However, because the Yihequan uprising program was too crude, they were recruiting Yi soldiers and also facing the Qing army and attacking churches in various places. Although they executed the evil French priest Luo Zepu in Zhangjiazhuang Catholic Church in Wei County, they also gave the Qing soldiers an excuse to collude with foreigners.
The peasants' union of villages in nearby counties and the Boxer Rebellion on the borders of Henan and Shandong echoed each other, forming an army of 160,000 people across the 24 counties of Zhi, Shandong and Henan provinces.
The governor of Zhili was Yuan Shikai, who had many soldiers and generals. Hearing that Jing Tingbin was so strong, he was shocked and angry. He not only sent Duan Qirui, Feng Guozhang and other powerful generals to lead the Beiyang New Army to Jizhou and Guangzong, but also contacted other local troops to suppress the rebel army on a large scale, and even led the personal guards to supervise the battle, colluding with more than 6,000 Japanese invading troops to "assist the suppression".
The Eight-Nation Alliance, which had just made a fortune in the capital, when facing the overwhelming Boxer Rebellion, immediately put aside all prejudices and united with Yuan Shikai's Beiyang New Army and local army. However, such strange combinations of interests emerged one after another in the late Qing Dynasty.
With two sides attacks and their weapons were backward, in May, Jing Tingbin was defeated and arrested when he encountered the Qing army in Henan.
In July, Yuan Shikai ordered Jing Tingbin to be released to Weixian County where Luo Zepu was killed. He was executed in front of countless people. His subordinates, Yihe Boxers and even generals went south to flee...
As Jing Tingbin's cousin, Jing Tinghua and Jing Tinglin took advantage of the recommendation of their uncle Jing Fucheng to hiding with more than a dozen brothers under the Qing Gang and hid in the French Concession. Although they were still thinking about finding opportunities to pull up boxing groups in the south, when they secretly connected, they found that the southerners and northerners had completely different ideas, and this ten-mile foreign market was not a place where those of them, the strong-willed people could get along.
In this way, their whereabouts were not only exposed, but also fell into Huang Jinrong's hands.
Who is Huang Jinrong, the number one gangster tycoon in Shanghai, is very good at hand in Shanghai.
He didn't care what everyone had done before, he just looked at whether it was useful to him. He could dominate the underground king in Shanghai, and none of his masters had a clean foundation.
It’s okay for others to say that the Jingtinglin brothers are the eleventh generation of the authentic plum blossom boxing. They are two masters who are familiar with the secret power. For those Qing Gang gangsters who have been lying in the market all day long, they are already at the level of uncles with the double flower red stick. Therefore, not only did the two brothers not be handed over to the police station by Huang Jinrong, but they have become Huang Jinrong’s secret horses, bodyguards and killers.
Although Jing Tinghua is his elder brother, his martial arts skills are not as good as Jing Tinglin, who is simple-minded. However, for Ma Zi or Killer who are involved in gangs, martial arts does not represent absolute strength.
Jing Tinghua looked around casually, pretending not to see the abnormal movements of Sai Jinhua. After winking his subordinates, he slowly hung up a cigarette and easily used the ignition of foreign fire.
Jing Tinglin lowered his head and stuffed the antidote into his nostrils with a little depressed mood. Although he didn't like this despicable trick, he followed his brother to eat and drink spicy food all day long, so even if he didn't want to, he kept holding it.
Compared to his current days, he still prefers when he could kill foreigners and rob the government at will. "The third brother has changed, and the brothers of Yihequan have gradually changed. They are no longer heroes who are brave enough to hunt foreigners for the sake of the people. They... I have become black men who bully good and fear evil, help thugs, scumbags..."
The train slowly drove into Shanghai. The station, which had been leisurely for a long time, suddenly seemed like a drop of boiling water fell into the oil pan, and it became lively.
In 1876, the first railway that appeared on China's land was the Wusong Railway, which the British capital group used deception methods to build. However, no matter how the railway came from, the shops and even towns that flourished along this railway line were now prosperous in the south at an extremely astonishing speed.
Yang Meng and Wang Zhennan stood silently on the side of the platform, not knowing what they were thinking. The guy who had a Red Mansion in front of him held a famous brand to pick up the station, but for some reason, Yang Meng always felt a little inexplicably worried.
The scars on his arm that were caught by Wang Zhennan did not heal at all, but they were skin injuries after all, and would not interfere with his combat power too much.
As for Wang Zhennan, although he occasionally had a embarrassed expression on his face, because of Master Long's words, "Don't doubt people, don't doubt people," he decided to accompany Yang Meng. In his heart, he was relatively more at ease. Of course, the premise was that he did not know Huang Jinrong's subordinates and did not inform Jing Tinghua brothers in time to stop.
The train stopped little by little, but there was still no sign of Sai Jinhua for a long time. Yang Meng and Wang Shengnan looked at each other and suddenly realized something was wrong, "What happened..."
Yang Meng was so angry that his teeth were itchy. He was speechless at his miserable life. Seeing the guys' eyes blank, he couldn't help but shouted in annoyance: "Hurry up and go find them, five or six living people will disappear out of thin air?"
Wang Zhennan's nose twitched slightly, and the embarrassment suddenly turned into a hint of anger, and he said word by word: "Before I came, I heard Huang Jinrong say that he would protest against the people in the Red Chamber. He originally thought that he had asked someone to go back and send a message to him to stop. Now it seems that Wang's words are not worth enough..."
The warriors of this era are very tolerant of their former financial or benefactors. Even if they know that they are doing shameful business, they often turn a blind eye. In this regard, not to mention a great boxer like Wang Zhennan who is not yet in a master's realm, sometimes even master-level masters cannot escape the vulgarity.
According to Wang Zhennan's idea, he had already pointed it very clearly in his words. If Huang Jinrong didn't want to end, he should stop as soon as possible. Who knew that he was chanting the incense, but he was slapping himself in the face.
Yang Meng looked at Wang Zhennan with a red face and suddenly felt less anxious. Whether it was a certain style of otaku mentality, he still felt that this trouble seemed to be Wang Zhennan's.
"Let's go, follow me to the Chenghuang Temple..."
Yang Meng was stunned for a moment, "Aren't you going to Huang Mansion?"
"No matter whether those people know or not, after they succeed, they will definitely go back to the City God Temple first. If they go directly to Huang Mansion, they will only force them to kill and silence..."
"Kill someone to silence you!?"
Looking at Jing Tinghua with a ferocious face, Jing Tinglin felt a little unfamiliar and even more unbelievable.
In his memory, the third brother was smarter than himself since he was a child. Although he was occasionally too decisive, he never acted in front of him and acted rudely against innocent people. However, now he looked at the little green skin he was pinching with one hand, thinking of Sai Jinhua and others hidden inside, Jing Tinglin finally couldn't accept it.
"San brother, stop. This time, Boss Huang asked us to tie people up, but he didn't inform us in time. At worst, he could just let these people go back. There was no need to kill all these innocent people..."
Jing Tinghua twitched his face, suppressed the anger in his heart, and smiled reluctantly at Jing Tinglin: "Lao Wu said it simply. Now this person has already expressed Huang Jinrong's attitude. Even if Sai Jinhua is released, he will probably cause hunting from both sides. Only by leaving Shanghai can the brothers save their lives. If they don't kill this Qingpi and that woman, don't look at us, we may not even have the chance to escape from the City God Temple at that time..."
Jing Tinglin was a little stunned. Looking at Jing Tinghuaqiang's smile on his own, he suddenly felt a sense of fear in his heart: "The third brother has become like this. When did our Yihequan fall to such a state of inseparable black and white?"
With some difficulty, Jing Tinghua's arm was pushed away, and Jing Tinglin blocked the purple-red green skin behind him: "Although I am not good at using my brain, I can't be a civil and martial scholar like Tingbin, I can't be a great boxer who has seen all day long. The work has been done. Whether it is Huang Jinrong or Red Mansion, he will just come here. Yihequan has never been afraid of death, nor is it the reason for innocent harm to others..."
"Yihequan is not afraid of death, but it shouldn't have fallen to the point of kidnapping..."
"who!"
Yang Meng walked into the yard with relaxed steps, looked at the Jing brothers who were facing a great enemy, and suddenly smiled: "I only ask one question, Sai Jinhua and others can be safe..."
"I've fainted by us... I've fainted, and I have no worries about my life..."
For some reason, it was the first time Jing Tinglin and Yang Meng met, but his intuition told him that the young man in front of him had a breath of a big brother, so although he felt a little ashamed, he still told the truth.
Jing Tinghua couldn't stop him and couldn't help but yelled, "Fifth, go and arrange for brothers to go, I'll take the initiative here..."
"Go? Where to go?"
While talking, another person came out of the room. Seeing his silence on his face, Jing Tinghua's face also sank: "The King of Harrier is the Conqueror!"
