Chapter 55 Past
Zhu Kaishan talked for more than half an hour. This was also the first time he told his family about his past experiences.
In the early years, Zhu Kaishan went out with his fellow villagers and joined the Boxer Rebellion by chance. Later, due to his personal martial arts and two years of private schooling, he gradually became famous within the Boxer Rebellion and became the leader of the hall.
At that time, the domestic conflicts were becoming increasingly fierce, and the imperial court was like sitting on a powder keg, just waiting for the opportunity to be detonated.
That year, a conflict broke out between members of the religious group and the local people. At first, the conflict was limited to a small area. It was not until the government sent troops to suppress it that the conflict expanded to a full scale.
With the official entrance, more and more members of the cult were swept into this conflict, and Zhu Kaishan was among them.
In this way, Zhu Kaishan was confusedly involved in this dispute, and then he led his brothers to defeat the official army.
At this point, the Boxer Rebellion that swept across the northern land officially began.
There are trendsetters in every era. As the pioneer who kicked off the Boxer Rebellion, Zhu Kaishan was undoubtedly a trendsetter of that era.
It is precisely because of this that the Qing government sentenced Zhu Kaishan to death.
Even though the Boxer Rebellion failed, Zhu Kaishan still did not dare to live blatantly in the sun.
Because he was afraid that one day, the government would suddenly come to his door and raid his home.
Hearing Zhu Kaishan's story, Li Jie suddenly sighed.
This experience is truly legendary.
He is worthy of being the core character of "Crossing Guandong"!
"well."
As he spoke, Zhu Kaishan sighed again.
"Chuangwen, these people are actually a group of poor people with good intentions. If you can help, please help them as much as possible."
In any movement, there are always people who openly carry the banner and covertly satisfy their personal desires. History has long told us that carrying the red flag to fight against the red flag is a common routine of reactionaries.
At first, the members who started the movement strictly abided by the group rules within the church, but as the movement expanded, all kinds of demons and ghosts joined in, and then the movement took a turn for the worse.
Violent activities such as beating, smashing, looting and burning are common.
Although most of these people were not regular members, whether it was the common people, the Qing government, or foreigners, they all attributed this sin to the Boxers.
In the face of the abuse and accusations from the outside world, those members who have justice in mind, such as Zhu Kaishan, Zhu Chunshan, etc., are dumb and unable to speak out about their sufferings, so they can only bear the grievances silently.
It was precisely because he knew Zhu Chunshan that Zhu Kaishan said the above sentence. He believed that the people Zhu Chunshan brought would not be a group of thugs, but true righteous men.
"Yes, I will."
Through the narration of Zhu Kaishan, an eyewitness, Li Jie gained a deeper understanding of the Boxer Rebellion. This group of people included poor farmers, handicraftsmen, small traders and other lower-class people, as well as some officers and soldiers, gentry, and even high-ranking people.
Princes and nobles.
The complex composition of the personnel undoubtedly adds a cloud to this massive movement.
However, in Li Jie's view, these are irrelevant. Even if there are people with ulterior motives among this group of people, as long as they join the security team, are they not at his mercy?
Just like Jay Chou's lyrics, in my territory, you have to listen to me.
"Okay, I will contact your Uncle Chunshan later. I will let you know when there is a reply."
…
…
…
In a blink of an eye, two days later, Zhu Chunshan seemed to be very anxious. Almost as soon as Zhu Kaishan found him, he gave an affirmative answer.
This is indeed the case. During the recent period, Zhu Chunshan was worried a lot in order to accommodate the brothers in the sect.
The Boxer Rebellion failed, and these ‘elders’ who initially participated in the movement became nothing more than street rats.
Having been hiding in Tibet for so many years, everyone is not only very tired physically, but also mentally exhausted.
A few days ago, a group of them got together and made a common decision to leave Qilu and go outside the customs.
Nowadays, although the areas outside the Pass still belong to the Qing Dynasty in name, everyone knows who has the final say outside the Pass.
Once outside the customs, they no longer have to panic like a lost dog.
After making the decision, Zhu Chunshan, who had experience in conquering Guandong, took the initiative to serve as a pioneer and went to Guandong to explore the way for the brothers who would follow.
When he arrived in Guandong, the first thing Zhu Chunshan thought of was his "eldest brother" Zhu Kaishan.
However, on the way to Fangniugou, Zhu Chunshan accidentally heard the name of the security team of Yuanbao Town. To his surprise, this "prestigious" security team was actually founded by his eldest nephew "Zhu Chuanwen"
.
From the beginning, Zhu Chunshan had no intention of asking his brothers to join the security team, but out of curiosity, he couldn't help but inquire more about the security team.
After making inquiries, he discovered that the security team's treatment was astonishingly good, and it was rumored that the security team was preparing to recruit more members from outside the country recently. He didn't know how many people were gearing up to participate in the security team's recruitment assessment.
After learning the news, Zhu Chunshan thought about it carefully.
This job is simply tailor-made for the brothers in their regiment.
Although in name they are recruited from the security team, in reality, the work performed by the security team is no different from that of the army.
Most of his brothers have been taught boxing skills, and many of them have been on the battlefield. Compared with ordinary people who are recruited, their advantages are obvious.
After that, he came up with the idea of defecting to the security team, but after all, he was the elder of the "Chuan Wen", so it would be a bit shameful for him to come directly to the door.
So, he changed his mind and planned to save the country in a roundabout way. After much thought, he decided to go to Zhu Kaishan. After all, Kaishan's elder brother was the biological father of Chuanwen, and his relationship with Zhu Kaishan was unusual.
It is most appropriate for Zhu Kaishan to speak.
Furthermore, if there are any difficulties on the eldest nephew's side, having the eldest brother as a buffer can also leave room for both parties.
Originally, Zhu Chunshan was already prepared for failure, because even if the old, weak and sick were eliminated, there were still too many people who needed to be resettled.
In the end, who would have thought that the eldest nephew not only agreed, but also sent a message to accept as many people as they came.
On the night when he received the reply, Zhu Chunshan could not sleep a wink all night. On the one hand, he was excited. This time, the mission of leading the charge in Kanto was successfully completed. Those brothers finally had a place to stay.
