I am rich in martial arts, but choose culture to win

And many "scholars" in later generations also pointed out that ignorant and foolish people are unreasonable, which caused conflicts with the church. Foreign priests and nuns are all noble, compassionate and compassionate.

They build hospitals, run schools, raise orphans, and do good deeds.

So far, the history of many hospitals and schools in our country can be mentioned to the church period, and their founders are described as super saints who have selflessly dedicated to the Chinese people.

But knowing all the ugliness of these guys since the Middle Ages and even later generations, Zhu Fugui has always used the most vicious thoughts to speculate on Christian preachers.

Because of Da Ming's consistent anti-Christian image, and his attack on God's filial son, Da Ming is undoubtedly an outright scourge in the Christian world.

Even when Ming's ally Prussia was in contact with Ming, they only talked about Caesar, not God.

There is no way to talk about this matter. If we talk about it, the table will have to be turned over.

Fortunately, the Prussians have always cooperated happily with the native chickens, and have sufficient experience in communicating with pagans.

Coupled with Bismarck's pragmatic style, Da Ming's communication with them was quite pleasant.

In short, regardless of Protestantism, Catholicism, or Orthodox Church, they all regard Ming Dynasty as an enemy.

After Daming basically controlled the Jiangnan area with the help of Zuo and Li, a large number of missionaries went to Tianjin, Hebei and other places.

Now, although Guiziliu was dismissed by Xingzhen from the post of prime minister, the 30-year-old Xingzhen is not the 50-year-old Xingzhen after all. Without that skill and control, Guiziliu still retains the basic position in Tianjin.

When a foreigner arrives at Guiziliu's territory, they are naturally at home, and they hit it off right away.

Although the Qing court issued several decrees, Guizi Liu still built more than a dozen cathedrals in Tianjin, and allowed priests to hire foreign soldiers to enter the cathedrals in their own name, as a guard team.

In this way, he relied on foreign self-respect, and at the same time, he also achieved his political conception of asking foreign soldiers to defend Tianjin to make a living.

It can be said that it was the emergence of the Ming Dynasty that made Tianjin colonized earlier and deeper than in history.

And the occurrence of this boxing chaos began because of this.

After reading several documents and listening to Yang Liu add some details, Zhu Fugui threw the documents on the ground heavily, his face was livid.

The Catholic Church, the bones of babies, the grave of infants!

A few bayonet-like words made Zhu Fugui unable to hold back his anger any longer.

The Tianjin teaching case, a very inconspicuous narrative in history books, an insignificant episode in the Western discourse system of later generations, just happened in front of Zhu Fugui.

If it had been before, Zhu Fugui might have believed those spring and autumn words, and believed that it was foolish people who slandered noble foreigners.

However, those mass graves and unnamed graves under North American church schools are there, and they haven't been filled in yet!

Zhu Fugui knew that these beasts with human face and animal heart could definitely do it, and they had absolutely reason to do so!

Because of the simplest five words: "Pagans are not human beings".

"Guzi Liu is unreliable, and Xingzhen is also unreliable. Now I just want to know where my steel battleship is!"

Zhu Fugui stood up, turned his head and said to Ito Hirobumi behind him, "Write me a tribute to the dead baby, and then write me a swearing letter to ghosts and animals. The more dirty words, the better, within two months. , I want my general to hold the head of the murderer and worship the dead children!"

……

Liu Jie, the magistrate of Tianjin County, can be said to be unable to sleep at night these days, and his heart is haggard.

With the corruption in the south, the exclusion of Han officials by the northern banner people has become more and more serious. Almost every month, we can hear about Han officials who have been dismissed without reason.

Fortunately, Liu Jie, the county magistrate of Tianjin, has no power and power, and is a sad reminder of the magistrate's attachment to Guo. No one wants to take him down, but it is inevitable to feel useless.

But this time, he was even in trouble.

Last fall, the bodies of [-] to [-] dead babies were found near the Charity Hall, a medical facility run by the French Catholic Church.

Feng Daye, the French Consul in Tianjin, and the Catholic priest Amoyi successively stated that this was the dead baby induced by the doctors of the Mercy Church during the delivery of the pregnant woman.

They also said that their bodies were preserved for scientific research.

However, the people of Tianjin obviously do not agree with this statement.

Even Liu Jie, the county magistrate of Tianjin, disagreed with such a statement.

As the county magistrate of Tianjin, Liu Jie obviously felt that the cases of missing children he had accepted had increased in the past two years.

Moreover, if the child is sent to the church's hospital for treatment, or sent to the church's nursery, the death rate seems a bit too high.

And just half a month ago, the Tianjin Civilian Plum Blossom Boxing Club caught Wu Lanzhen, a poisonous woman who abducted children, on the spot.

The secret medicine she used was obviously made by foreigners.

Targeting children undoubtedly touched the backs of the Chinese people. The citizens of Tianjin immediately took action, wanting to ask the church for an explanation.

But the church is backed by the devils outside, a small group of apostolic mercenaries inside, and even diplomats from Britain, France and other countries. How can unarmed ordinary people resist?

Therefore, militia groups that practice martial arts like plum blossom boxing have become the backbone of everyone.

These days, they smash foreign shops, burn foreign cars, and destroy and kill people when they see "ABC" signs.

The entire city of Tianjin was in chaos, and many shops hung up the "Sun and Moon Flag" overnight.

For example, a store called [Citigroup] posted a notice overnight: "Although this store is called 'Foreign Firm', neighbors and regular customers can testify that the products sold in this store are all smuggled 'clear goods', and the quality is far superior. Foreign firm!"

As the county magistrate, Liu Jie was also dumbfounded.

Of course he knew that there were countless private sellers of open goods in Tianjin, but he really didn't know that more than half of these so-called "foreign firms" were selling open goods.

But that's no wonder.

Doesn't his little concubine only recognize the famous brand "Big Treasure" when she buys rouge and gouache?

Originally Ming goods were sold in foreign goods boxes.

Now that this Mieyang Fist made a fuss, everyone simply peeled off the foreign skins and started selling them directly.

Half of the city is full of smuggled goods, so that he, the county magistrate, doesn't know whether to take care of it or not.

But soon, Liu Jie realized that compared with his next errand, the seizure of Minghuo was really a trivial matter.

Because my mother was actually sent to suppress Boxers!

The county magistrate Fu Guo has suffered eight lifetimes of bad luck.

Liu Jie was attached to a first-class city like Tianjin, and if he couldn’t get on the soup boat, he would be the first one to die.

But there was no other way. It was said that Guizi Liu had fled to Chengde, and there were not many people in Tianjin who could do things.

Bite the bullet, Liu Jie ordered a group of yamen servants to go to the prime minister's yamen to listen to the announcement.

Walking on the road, there were fists with spears and short knives everywhere, and it seemed that they were also gathering towards the Prime Minister's Office.

Fortunately, Liu Jie didn't say what kind of Lord Qingtian he was, he was neither greedy nor appropriative, and he was a well-known good official.

The Quan Zhuang who met along the way gave him a three-pointer, saluted politely, and didn't come to disturb you if you were polite, as if you didn't see him.

Liu Jie came to the gate of the Prime Minister's Yamen with trepidation, but saw a sea of ​​people full of fists.

There are also many women in white clothes, crying and throwing paper money, the scene is unbearable.

In addition, there are several monks and priests, holding wooden fishes and dust whisks, I don't know if they are offering salvation to the dead or cursing foreigners to death.

The yamen servants are all veterans, and when they saw this battle, they ran away for most of the time.

Liu Jie relied on his official uniform, leaving only a few loyal servants by his side.

"It's Master Liu!"

Someone shouted, and a dozen women in white immediately knelt down in front of Liu Jie.

Liu Jie saw that some of them looked familiar, and after careful thought, they were some of the women who came to the Yamen to complain.

"Master Liu, please be the master of the women. Do you remember the women? The children of the women have been found. Look, look!"

Looking at the rotting baby in the woman's arms, Liu Jie's eyes were reddish, holding back tears and said:

"Everyone, I am the county magistrate of Tianjin. The affairs of Tianjin are the affairs of this official. You wait here, and this official will definitely seek justice for you!"

……

In the yamen, Feng Daye, the French consul in Tianjin, and Amoyi, a priest of the Catholic Church, are arguing, or negotiating, with the three ministers of trade and commerce, Chonghou.

"Your Chinese government must compensate our churches and businessmen for their losses, and stop slandering our devout Christians, and bring those thugs to justice!"

Amoyi didn't realize he was a suspect at all, but arrogantly pointed at Chonghou's nose and cursed, "You know, it's your great honor that His Majesty the Pope recognizes you as the only legal government in China, don't be ignorant of the good and the bad! Otherwise, His Majesty the Pope will immediately announce that the Ming Dynasty is the legitimate government of China!"

What is legal or not, Hou Chong doesn't care much.

It was illegal when his Eight Banners ancestors entered the customs, let alone the Pope's law, which he had never heard of.

But foreigners are amazing, they are the door gods that my Qing Dynasty hired with great difficulty, so they should not be easily offended.

Chonghou said with a smile on his face: "Your Excellency, you have also seen how many thugs have gathered outside the yamen. If we repress it rashly, it will inevitably stir up further civil uprisings. Why don't you explain in detail about the abduction of children, and tell them Handing over the Chinese religious people involved in the incident can be regarded as allowing the lower officials to give an explanation to the people?"

As a bannerman and a third-rank official, Chonghou called a priest a low-ranking official, and he just asked the church to hand over the Chinese involved. To put it bluntly, he launched a top bag. His attitude is not low, and his requirements are not Not weak anymore.

But just this, in exchange for Amoyi's cold snort.

"Mr. Official, you have to know that these people are the people of God. How could they be guilty of doing things under God's guidance? And this is not only my opinion, but also France, Britain, Russia, Austria, Prussia, What do you think of the opinions of the consuls of the Spanish countries, Consul Feng Daye?"

Feng Daye's arrogance was even worse than that of A Moyi. He crossed his legs, took a puff of his cigar, highlighted the smoke ring, and said, "That's right, I have discussed with colleagues from various civilized countries before I came here. Afterwards, I think the execution of Plum Blossom Fist and a compensation of 120 million taels of silver should be able to calm down the incident, otherwise what happened in 1860 will happen again in Beijing."

Chonghou's forehead was sweating, and he hesitated for a while, not knowing what to say.

It took a long time before he said: "Impossible, you don't take this matter seriously, you can execute the boxer, and pay for it... I really don't have any money in the treasury of the Qing Dynasty!"

With the support of poverty, it is rare for me to have a backbone as an official in the Qing Dynasty.

But who would have thought that Feng Daye had been impatient with a vulgar man from the Qing Dynasty for a long time, and he pulled out his gun on the spot in total disregard of diplomatic etiquette.

As soon as he drew his gun, the escorting mercenaries also pulled out their foreign guns, aiming at Chonghou with a sneer.

Chonghou's backbone was immediately wiped out, he scurried under the table, then ran into the backyard under the escort of his servants, slipped through the back door, and even escaped from Tianjin City in one breath, and went directly to Langfang.

This Beijing grandfather's legs and feet are so nimble!

Feng Daye looked at the funny look of this pig tail, couldn't help laughing, patted the priest on the shoulder and said: "Mr. priest, this is the way to deal with these cunning and rude heretics, don't worry, in the Far East things, The British are always on our side."

After saying that, the two left the yamen, just in time to meet Liu Jie and his servants.

Liu Jie hurriedly said to Feng Daye and others: "Everyone, have you discussed the compensation with Mr. Chong? If there is a document, can I let the official read it, so that the people can be relieved earlier?"

The traitor interpreter at the side sneered and translated Liu Jie's daydreaming words to his master, and Feng Daye sneered even more when he heard it.

He has been in Tianjin for several years, and he has already figured out what the magistrate of Tianjin is.

Such a person is not qualified to speak to himself.

"Get out of the way, pig!"

A red-headed assan stepped forward to push and shoved Liu Jie's servant, who was already full of anger, and immediately got involved with the foreign soldiers.

boom!

Suddenly, smoke came out of the pistol in Feng Daye's hand, and a servant fell down clutching his chest.

"Shu Zi'an dares!"

Liu Jie's eyes were about to burst, he drew out his waist knife for self-defense and stepped forward to chop down Ah San.

At this time, the surrounding people saw that an official came forward, and they immediately moved forward in groups.

"It doesn't rain, the ground is dry, and the sky is covered by churches! Yellow watches are burned, cigarettes are produced, and all the gods are invited to the caves! Come on, everyone!"

"Burn Maozilou, destroy the Christianity! Kill the Western ghosts, and then make trouble with the Qing Dynasty!"

"Kill all the heads of foreigners and keep China safe!"

All of a sudden, all kinds of slogans flew together, sticking to the talisman paper, and the fists that drank the magic water were the main force, attacking the foreign gun team.

……

An hour later, Liu Jie was covered in blood and was carried back to the county government office by the surviving Quan Zhuang.

Miserable, so miserable!

Thousands of people beat those hundreds of foreign devils, but they were no opponents at all!

The foreigners retreated into the Zongli Yamen, relying on the courtyard wall to repel round after round of powerful charges.

When the gunpowder smoke cleared, the already skinny men fell to the ground in pieces.

What is even more distressing is that Chonghou, the great master whom everyone was looking forward to, did not appear at all!

"Master Liu, we all obey you, and we all obey you as to what to do next!"

Having seen the fighting power of Quan Zhuang, Liu Jie actually doesn't have much hope for them.

But since he dared to swing a knife at foreigners, this Shandong man had no intention of surviving.
