Boxer Rebellion

Looking at the money in his hand, Chen Kan was inevitably a little excited. This was his first income since he came to this world. This was really not easy. He had forgotten what it felt like to make money.

On the way back to Jinmen from Baoding, Chen Kan acted alone. The main reason was that Chen Kan really wanted to find some people to practice with. With these twenty strong men walking together, even if the bandits wanted to rob, they would not have the courage.

Sure enough, the effect of walking alone was indeed much better. In four days, Chen Kan encountered a total of seven waves of robbers. At the beginning, Chen Kan was still very interested and could gain some practical experience.

However, after Chen Kan contacted the historical situation during this period, Chen Kan's excitement disappeared.

If you can survive, who would want to become a bandit? Who doesn't want to live a more stable life? No one wants to live this kind of life of licking blood on the blade.

This year, there was a severe drought in the north. Life was originally difficult. In addition to the previous war reparations, where did the money come from? Of course, it came from the people.

In the end, the people were forced to become bandits, and almost the entire village collectively became bandits.

In the north, many villages are basically inhabited by clans. A village usually has one surname. In addition, because martial arts are popular in this area, most villagers know a few moves.

Each village usually has one or more people who know martial arts, and they will gather everyone to practice martial arts during the slack season.

On the one hand, they have two practical moves, which can be used in group fights. In ancient times, many conflicts between villages were resolved by fists. On the other hand, they can resist bandits such as bandits.

As for physical fitness, have you ever seen a farmer tell you that they can strengthen their bodies by doing exercise or practicing martial arts? Are you kidding me!

If these people can't survive, they are likely to rebel collectively, which is also a headache. They are organized.

People who know martial arts in these villages are usually respected as "big brothers", and the boxing skills of these big brothers are naturally not dropped from the sky. They are all organized. For example, in some places, they are called "Yihequan".

Now the people in these villages can't survive, so they will rebel together under the leadership of the big brothers. At first, the Qing government wanted to suppress it, but later found that it couldn't suppress it, so it appeased it! So it changed to a more official name, which I believe many people know, called "Boxer Rebellion".

Yes, the famous "Boxer Rebellion" came about in this way. The situation was originally very simple, but later some smart and thoughtful people put forward the slogan of "supporting the Qing and destroying the foreigners", and then things became complicated.

Some of the bandits Chen Kan met on the road would call the leader "big brother", so Chen Kan remembered this matter.

"Can I stop it?" Chen Kan looked up at the starry sky and said to himself.

The result was disappointing.

"But this night sky is really similar to what I saw on the deserted island!" If I hadn't looked at the starry sky at night for the past four years, Chen Kan would have almost forgotten that his real world was actually struggling to survive on a deserted island.

"Bang..." Chen Kan was planning to take a rest, but a gunshot sounded, and Chen Kan lost all his sleepiness: "No way, I encountered this situation on my first day camping outside, what luck!" Chen Kan had heard this kind of sound in a shooting club when he was an exchange student in Singapore, and it must be right. Without hesitation, Chen Kan put out the fire with sand and soil, and then quickly climbed up a nearby tree. He heard someone's shouting and footsteps, running towards him. Now Chen Kan was not sure about dealing with guns, so he decided to see the situation first. About a minute later, Chen Kan saw a group of people running towards this side through the bushes. There were three people in the front, one of whom had long hair, probably a woman, and the other two were not clear, but judging by their body shape, they should be men. There was a group of people holding torches behind them, chasing, and grumbling as they chased. It was not clear from a distance, but when they got closer, Chen Kan could see clearly that the three people were foreigners, one woman and two men, and the two men had pistols in their hands. From time to time, they would turn around and shoot, but the group of people who caught up didn't seem to be afraid of pistols at all. Even though Chen Kan saw that one person had fallen, the others still ignored him and continued to chase.

"It's the Boxers!" When the group behind got closer, Chen Kan saw clearly that some of them had a white ribbon tied on their heads with "Support the Qing and Eliminate Foreigners" written on it.

"This is really what you think, I was thinking about the Boxers before, and now I encounter it!"

Chen Kan didn't plan to be a hero to save the beauty. He didn't feel good about foreigners in this era. He was ready to wait for the people to pass, and then he would go down and do whatever he had to do.

But God doesn't like to play tricks on people. Not far away, the woman fell and was surrounded by these people. Some members of the Boxer Group stopped under the tree where Chen Kan was. Chen Kan looked at about 20 people. The three leading ones should be martial artists, the so-called "big brothers". Then Chen Kan saw a very interesting scene. Both sides absolutely couldn't understand each other's words. One side spoke Beijing dialect, which Chen Kan had some difficulty listening to. The other side spoke English, and the two sides were talking like this. After listening for a while, Chen Kan probably guessed the general situation. In fact, there was no hatred between the two sides, but the Boxers emphasized "supporting the Qing and destroying the foreigners". Their purpose was to kill foreigners when they saw them. They met these foreigners on the road and chased them all the way. Although the foreigners had guns, the pistols at that time were still relatively low-level, and the bullets had to be loaded on the spot. At the same time, they were not professional soldiers. In panic, the hit rate was not high. It seemed that there were no bullets. When there were bullets, the Boxers didn't dare to rush up. Now that they knew there were no bullets, they were not polite.

The two foreigners were martial artists and knew some boxing skills, but two fists were no match for four hands. After knocking down two of them, they were also captured. Instead of killing them immediately, they were tied up with ropes.

The leader said that he wanted them to taste the pain of being cut into pieces. Chen Kan frowned and thought that killing people without even touching their heads was too much. However, thinking about what the foreigners had done in China, Chen Kan still did not do it.

"Tear~!" Just as Chen Kan was thinking about it, the woman's clothes were torn, and Chen Kan...

"Swish...swish..." The thin man in the lead suddenly swung his hand in the direction where Chen Kan was hiding, and Chen Kan heard several sounds of breaking through the air.
