Chapter 49: Defeat in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1899, Boxing of Boxer Rebellion (Please collect

Niu Tiezhu was killed on the spot, and all the noisy arguments disappeared instantly!

Feng Ji shook his hand, and the blood on his hand spilled out, covering the faces of several people nearby.

Several people trembled instantly and screamed!

"Killing! Killing!"

"Ah - Feng Ji killed someone!"

For a moment, many people screamed in fear, turned around and ran away.

Feng Ji smiled coldly, stretched out his hand, and directly grabbed several strong men following Niu Tiezhu.

"Niu Tiezhu colluded with the bandits and robbed my Feng family's property. He deserved to die. Are you accomplices?"

Those people saw Feng Ji's terrifying methods, and they were all so frightened that they knelt down and started wailing and crying.

"Master, Master Feng, there's a misunderstanding. We don't recognize this guy."

"Yes, Master Feng, we are not bandits, it is him, this Niu Tiezhu. He robbed several boxes of treasures and hid them at Widow Xu's house."

"Master Feng, you are so noble, we are really not accomplices of the bandits."

Feng Ji glanced at the few people coldly and said calmly: "Go and get back all the things you just robbed, otherwise Niu Tiezhu will be your fate."

Several people trembled instantly, not daring to talk nonsense, and kowtowed in agreement.

Feng Ji left one person behind and asked Zhang Jin to take care of it. He entered the yard and found the secret passage to the Feng family's secret room among the ruins.

The secret passage in the secret room was locked by the iron door. Feng Ji knocked hard several times and shouted: "Father, mother, the bandits have dispersed."

Faintly, I seemed to hear surprise cheers coming from the secret passage.

Three days later, in another residence of the Feng family in Qingyuan County.

Feng Changren, Feng Ji, Uncle He and Uncle Gui are all here.

Feng Changren glanced at the three of them, sighed, handed out the newspaper in his hand, and said: "The Qing Dynasty was defeated. In the Sino-Japanese War, we actually lost to the Japanese."

His face was ugly. Feng Ji didn't read the newspaper. He knew full well that the defeat of the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1899 was inevitable.

Uncle He and Uncle Gui, on the other hand, looked in disbelief. They grabbed the newspaper and read it hurriedly.

Uncle Gui thought: "The entire Beiyang Navy was wiped out, and the Zhiyuan ship Deng Shichang died for his country?"

Uncle He said anxiously: "Li Hongzhang went to Japan to sign the Treaty of Shimonoseki? This... compensation of 200 million silver? And also ceded Taiwan, Liaodong and other places? How unreasonable! How unreasonable! The Qing Dynasty actually agreed!"

The Treaty of Shimonoseki, which was humiliating and humiliating the country, has been signed.

The bandits in Qingyuan County had been wreaking havoc for the past three days. The failure of the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1899 had completely spread across the land of China. Everyone was angry and scolded the Qing government for its incompetence, and there was a lot of resentment in the country.

Some people with lofty ideals who have returned from studying abroad have organized people to march in protest.

On the border of Shandong, the Dadao Society and the Bagua Cult are resurgent. They take this opportunity to expand their power and cause trouble everywhere.

At the same time, an organization named Boxing Boxing emerged in various places, openly issuing the slogan "Oppose the Qing Dynasty and destroy the foreign countries".

Boxing appeared in just one month, and the Boxing movement spread like wildfire across Shandong.

There is chaos in the north and everyone is in danger!

Feng Changren shook his head and sighed: "Now that the matter has come to this, it's useless not to believe it. Our top priority is to think about how the Feng family should get along in this troubled world."

Uncle He and Uncle Gui both sighed. They thought for a moment. Uncle Gui couldn't help but said: "Now the people of Yihequan are making trouble with foreign religions and killing officials. The commotion is getting louder and louder. I'm afraid our Qingyuan County will also I can’t wait any longer.”

Uncle He also nodded and said: "I'm afraid it will be difficult to find a place to stay in Qingyuan County. If the young master hadn't suppressed the banditry before and gained such a big name, I am afraid that our Qingyuan County would be like the wealthy gentry in other places and be defeated by the Boxer Fist." We were forced to open a warehouse to store grain."

Speaking of this, Feng Changren looked at Feng Ji, whose eyes had been closed, and asked, "Son, what do you think?"

Feng Ji opened his eyes and said: "Shandong is already in chaos. In my opinion, it is safest to leave here."

Feng Changren suddenly smiled, this idea coincided with his.

He immediately asked: "Where do you think it is appropriate to go?"

Feng Ji was silent. To be honest, he was not safe anywhere in the late Qing Dynasty.

Uncle He on the side suggested: "If you ask me, Zhili or the capital are both suitable. The closer you are to the imperial city, the less unrest will be."

Feng Changren couldn't help but nodded in agreement and said with a smile: "That's right. Now that Shandong is in chaos, we have huge amounts of money, which is really conspicuous. The Zhang family has now taken refuge with the Japanese, and the Duan family and Liu family have plans to leave here."

Uncle He couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect that the Zhang family would actually defect to the Japanese. It's really unbelievable... It's really not a wise move at this moment."

At this time when everyone is most hostile to the Japanese, it is naturally surprising that the Zhang family has defected to the Japanese.

As he said that, Uncle He also glanced at Feng Ji. After all, Zhang Shurong was also a member of the Zhang family.

Feng Ji said nothing. He also learned about the Zhang family's situation in the past few days.

After he left the Zhang family that day, the bandits were frightened and dispersed.

However, there are still a small number of bandits who return and rob the Zhang family.

Just then, Jiro Watanabe's men arrived and led a Japanese team to rescue the Zhang family.

Zhang Youde died in this disaster, and Zhang Yuan became the head of the Zhang family.

I heard that he was protected by Japan's Rakusendo.

Although Shandong is in dire straits now, the Zhang family is the only one staying out of it.

Uncle Gui changed the subject and said, "Master, where are the Duan and Liu families going to move?"

Feng Changren took a sip of tea and said, "The Duan family has a lot of business in Guangdong, and they are planning to move their family to Guangdong."

"As for the Liu family, their family has some connections in the capital and they are planning to move to the capital."

Feng Ji frowned and asked, "Eldest sister also wants to follow the Duan family to Guangdong?"

Feng Changren sighed: "The daughter who got married is throwing water. She is now a member of the Duan family, so she will naturally follow the Duan family."

Feng Ji nodded and said nothing more.

Uncle Gui said: "Master, where should we move?"

Feng Changren thought for a moment and said, "Let's go to Jinmen. Our medicinal material business is all in Jinmen. It's also close to the capital, so it's relatively safer."

When Uncle Gui heard this, he couldn't help but nodded: "That's right. Our store has business dealings with several regular customers in Jinmen. It doesn't mean we are starting over from the past."

Uncle He also nodded and said: "I also know a lot of people there. Mr. Nong from Huaiqing Pharmacy is also familiar with me. In addition, Daxia Wang from Yuanshun Escort Agency is also familiar with me."

The three of them started discussing, but Feng Ji didn't want to waste time here.

He stood up and said, "Father, Uncle He, Uncle Gui, you decide these things. I'll leave first."

Feng Changren couldn't help but said: "Where are you going?"

Feng Ji didn't look back: "Practice boxing."

Several people were suddenly speechless.

After Feng Ji left, Uncle He couldn't help but smile and said: "Young Master has been practicing martial arts since then, and he has changed a lot."

Uncle Gui also smiled and said: "I didn't expect that the young master has such talent in boxing. Last time the White Lotus Sect was in chaos, if the young master hadn't turned the tide, Qingyuan County would have been over."

Speaking of this, Feng Changren also smiled and felt quite proud.

"This kid, if I had known he had this talent, I would have hired a famous teacher a long time ago. You said that if you go to Jinmen in the future, do you want Ji'er to go to the capital to get a martial arts champion?"

"Haha, if the young master takes the martial arts exam, wouldn't it be easy for him to win?"

"I would like to congratulate you in advance."

"Hahaha, you two old guys..."
