Zai Na: "Master, master, I have learned these five moves, what about the following ones?"
I chuckled: "The eighteen-style group attack secret sword you just learned is not afraid of group attacks or battle formations. It is my Taihang's top-notch killing secret sword. Disciples want to learn the following sword moves, of course. Yes. However, it will depend on your performance as a teacher. If your performance is acceptable, the teacher may consider making an exception and teach you all. Okay, let’s just stay here for today and let’s all disperse.”
Zai Na reluctantly left in the end, and I breathed a sigh of relief. I finally caught this moody guy. I hope nothing will go wrong again in the future.
Back in the room, the junior sister suddenly laughed happily.
Me: "Junior sister, why are you laughing? Do you feel relieved today when you watch my senior brother and I take care of Zai Na?"
Junior sister: "This Zai Na is so interesting. Senior brother, you are so cute when you bully others. Hehehehe."
Since that day when I accepted Zai Na as my apprentice, she has indeed become much more honest, and my junior sister is also happy and quiet. Every day I supervise my five registered disciples to practice martial arts, and my days are rarely free.
I had just finished my shift that day, and before I even walked into the courtyard, I saw four people kneeling neatly on the ground in our small courtyard.
I took a closer look and saw that it was Dalong and the four of them kneeling on the ground.
At the top of the courtyard, the junior sister was staring at them angrily, while Xiaohua kept saying something.
I rolled my eyes, and it seemed that Dalong and these guys had caused some trouble again, and the junior sister was teaching them a lesson.
I chuckled, pretending to be strange and said, "Disciples, what kind of kung fu are you practicing? Why are you all kneeling on the ground? Are you practicing iron leg kung fu?"
Xiaohua: "Third brother, they are not practicing some iron leg skills! They have violated our Taixing rules and are being punished!"
I smiled awkwardly: "Oh? Really? What kind of trouble have you guys caused? You have made our young master so angry. Look, we are almost mad. Junior sister, look at your nose. Crooked……"
The junior sister said angrily: "Brother, I have to teach them a lesson. I don't want you to intercede on their behalf!"
Dalong said: "Master, please stop talking, we are willing to be punished!"
The remaining three disciples also said: "Master, we are willing to be punished!"
I touched my nose and felt bored. Are you guys addicted after being punished?
I said, "Junior sister, what is going on?"
The junior sister slammed the table and said angrily: "Let the four of them speak for themselves! Tell me about the good things you have done!"
I also pretended to be angry: "What good things have you guys done? Tell me quickly!"
Four apprentices, you look at me and I look at you. Finally Dalong said: "Master, this matter actually has nothing to do with the three junior brothers. It's all because of my greed. When I passed by the imperial dining room this morning, I smelled a beautiful aroma in it, so I started to steal. , and later I instigated three junior brothers to steal food from the imperial kitchen! I ate all three main courses at the Prince Regent’s luncheon. The chef in the kitchen reported it, which made the young master angry. Master, this is all mine. Wrong! I was wrong, and I am willing to accept the punishment!"
The other three guys also pleaded guilty and were willing to accept punishment.
After hearing what they said, I laughed out loud!
The junior sister said angrily: "Brother, these four guys are so greedy and ruined our reputation in Taihang. How can you still laugh? Xiaohua, go get the whip and give them a hard whip!"
Xiaohua agreed and ran back to the house to get the whip.
I quickly stopped him and said, "Junior sister, junior sister, I just stole a few dishes. Why are you so angry? Forget it, give me some face, let's forget about it today."
The junior sister said angrily: "Brother, you are a bad person again! You must teach them a lesson today, or else they won't go to the house to reveal their tiles in the future? Xiaohua, go quickly!"
Xiaohua agreed again, and then took out a whip from the house.
Xiaohua walked to the courtyard with a whip: "Miss, who should I hit first?"
The junior sister pointed at the big dragon in front of her: "Hit the leader with ten lashes first! Then give me the lashes one by one! Hmph!"
Xiaohua agreed, then picked up the whip and walked behind Dalong, and without any explanation, she whipped him!
"Crack!" There was a crisp sound.
It hurts so much!
I shook my head helplessly: "Junior sister, what are you doing? It's just a few dishes, why bother beating them?"
Junior sister smiled coldly: "Keep beating me, beat me hard!"
Xiaohua agreed, then used all her strength to beat the four apprentices I had just accepted!
Suddenly, a person walked in outside the hospital. She was holding a big casserole. This person was Zai Na.
Zai Na said in surprise: "First senior brother, second senior brother, third senior brother, fourth senior brother, why were you beaten today?"
Me: "Zaina, why are you here today?"
Zai Na said crisply: "Oh, Master. I heard that my four senior brothers caused a minor case in the imperial kitchen today, so I went to beg the regent to be extra merciful and spare them this time. It's a crime. Moreover, the regent specially asked the kitchen to give the four senior brothers a special meal. This is a steamed bear paw, just for these senior brothers to eat? Master, please stop beating them, right?"
After listening to Zai Na's words, the junior sister's expression turned from gloomy to clear.
She smiled and said to Zai Na: "Nana, you are really a good disciple of your master. Bring the steamed bear paw over quickly and let my uncle taste it too."
Zai Na smiled and held the big casserole in front of her junior sister. Zai Na said: "Master Cai'er, please try it, it's delicious!"
At this moment, the junior sister opened the lid of the pot with one hand, and a strange aroma suddenly filled the air.
I was surprised: "Oh! It smells so good?"
Zai Na smiled and said: "Master, this steamed bear paw is one of the eight delicacies, and it is our imperial chef Liu Yishou's specialty. Moreover, this dish has more than just bear paw as the main ingredient. In fact, it also contains There are dozens of auxiliary ingredients. Liu Yishou’s steamed bear paw has three unique features, which are known as the three treasures! The first is the delicious taste, the second is the beauty, and the third is the fragrance, which is known as the Qing court The most delicious food. Master, you should also try it."
I took a deep breath of these three treasures. The aroma was really extraordinary. No wonder some of my apprentices wanted to commit crimes.
I chuckled: "Lao Wu, you did a good job this time! Let's have dinner together at noon today. Xiaohua, let them go for now and don't hit them."
Xiaohua hesitated and said: "Third brother, how many whippings are there left to finish?"
Zai Na also said: "Uncle, forget it. Stop beating them. The regent didn't blame them."
The junior sister then said: "Okay. Since you, the fifth junior sister, have begged for mercy, today's beating will be temporarily saved. You all get up. Go out to patrol the garden for me. If any of you do it again next time, together with this time Whip it together! Do you hear that?"
The four apprentices quickly said: "I know, I know, we don't dare to do it anymore!"
On this day, I was taking out the 1911 Browning pistol for cleaning and maintenance, and studying the gun's safety mechanism.
Suddenly Dalong shouted in the courtyard: "Master, master, it's not good, something happened."
I quickly put away the 1911 Browning and walked quickly to the door: "Dalong, what's going on?"
Dalong: "Master, there have been a lot of people demonstrating in various places recently. Now I heard that a group of thugs are preparing to attack the Prince Regent's palace. The fifth junior sister, the second, third and fourth elders have already gone to disperse the crowd outside the palace. However, I'm worried about what's going on inside. There is a master hidden there, so Master, what do you think we should do?"
At this moment, the junior sister also heard the noise, and she walked out of the room holding a sword.
Me: "Junior sister, you go to protect the safety of the regent first. I'll go to the street gate and take a look."
Junior sister: "Okay, senior brother, let's go."
I led Dalong along the way, passing through one moon gate after another, and finally came to the outside of the street gate.
At this time, there was a huge crowd of people outside, many well-educated people. They surrounded the front of the palace, and they were all filled with indignation and shouting slogans.
"Give me back the railway! Hit Zaifeng! Give me back the railway! Hit Zaifeng! Give me back the railway! Hit Zaifeng!"
After hearing this slogan, I suddenly felt confused. What slogan is this? Shouldn't we shout: Save the country, save the people, and hit Zaifeng? What kind of railway? what happened?
Zai Na also ran over to me at this moment and said: "Master, these unruly people are here to cause trouble. I will kill them all..."
I was shocked: "Take it easy, it's just making trouble, why bother?"
Zai Na really didn't know what was important. I thought back when I was in the National Salvation Association, I held many marches and protests. But I knew very well that these marches were just a call sign, trying to wake up the sleeping people.
Although they always shout slogans to defeat feudal imperialism, it is not a true rebellion with swords and guns. Moreover, the majority of the people just participated and cannot be re-administered.
Me: "In this case, you will send some more people to protect the palace. In addition, let people go to Deshengmen to cook more than a dozen large pots of porridge. When these people get tired, you will send people to sneak in quietly. The crowd gathered and shouted loudly for them to go to Deshengmen to have porridge and dinner. Then when this group of people arrived at Deshengmen for dinner, you saw the opportunity and closed the city gate early to keep them out. Okay, Then, don’t pay any attention to it, and in a few days, this group of people will naturally disperse.”
When Zai Na heard my idea, she was immediately impressed. So he quickly recruited a few confidants to handle these things.
Soon it was noon. The summer of 1911 was really hot. The sun in the sky gathered all its strength and continued to shine. The city of Beijing suddenly became hot. The people marching were hot and hungry at this time, and the slogans they chanted began to become weak.
At this time, someone in the crowd shouted loudly: "Thank you for your hard work, Director Li has prepared lunch for everyone at Deshengmen. Please go and eat first. We will come back later and continue to protest."
I took a closer look and saw that the guy shouting in the crowd was either Dalong or that guy. This guy has clear articulation and a lotus tongue, and he also pretends to be very similar. People who don't know better think that he is a protesting citizen.
When the people heard that there was food to eat, the crowd shouted, and then they rushed to Deshengmen like a tide. At this time, a few guys in the crowd shouted: "It's not Deshengmen, it's not Deshengmen. No food at noon, no food at noon. Don't be fooled by them..."
I pointed at the shouting guys: "These guys should be organizing the protest. Turn around and arrest them quietly. Don't hurt their lives, and don't disturb the crowd."
Zai Na agreed, waved her hand, and the master took off his armor and blended into the crowd to follow them to catch the leaders of these organizations.
For a moment, the entire palace suddenly became quiet, leaving only garbage on the ground. I shook my head helplessly. These were the people in the late Qing Dynasty. Their organization and discipline were worrisome, and they were always easily deceived by others. I wonder if the people of the future will be much better off.
Me: "Lao Wu, it's almost time. Leave some people to guard, and everyone else can go to eat. The rest of the matter will be left to the Admiral of the Nine Gates. Please tell the Admiral of the Nine Gates not to hurt people's lives indiscriminately, and not to beat anyone." Just use coercion and drive them away.”
Zai Na rolled her eyes and assured me: "Don't worry, Master, I will do as you say."
As soon as I saw Zai Na's little eyes roll, I knew that Zai Na had other ideas.
So I said: "These people are deceived by others. You hear the people shouting: Take back the railway. Take back the railway. Railways are a national matter, aren't they? What national matters do some ordinary people know? What do they know about railways? The reason for transportation? There must be fraud in this. You disperse the people this time, go back and arrest the people from those organizations and question them carefully. Once you have clarified the questions, you can prescribe the right medicine and the solution will be solved quickly. Don't kill random people. Be murderous, otherwise you will play into the hands of the person behind it. You will be able to discredit the Prince Regent for nothing."
After listening to my explanation, Zai Na reluctantly agreed. Then she sent people to notify the nine admirals to take action, and at the same time sent a few more people to catch those who took the lead in making trouble. Seeing that the matter was almost settled, I returned to the courtyard of the palace.
As I walked back, I was still wondering. The Qing Dynasty disintegrated in 1911. That is unmistakable. However, does this have anything to do with what the people are calling today to give us back our railways? It's all to blame for my lack of reading. Before time travel, when I was receiving cultural education in the 21st century, I may not have listened carefully to the lectures, which caused me to omit such important historical information.
I looked up to the sky and murmured to myself: "You said that if I had listened carefully at that time, how could I be so confused today? It's really... it's really a black eye."
At this moment, a palace maid came to me and said, "Sir, Vice Commander, Prince Regent Chitose is here to invite you."
After all, I was given a high official position by Zaifeng, the deputy commander in the palace maid's mouth. It is said that I will be a third-grade official. However, I know that old China has run out of energy, so I don’t really care too much about these official positions.
Me: "Sister, please lead the way."
When the palace maid heard what I said, she was surprised: "I don't dare to take it seriously. Please come with me, Deputy Commander."
In this period of old China, feudal classism was particularly stubborn. People were divided into three, six or nine classes, and there was also the theory of superiority and inferiority. This was really the dregs of the dregs of the old feudal culture. Today I just called the palace maid "sister" and was a little polite to her, but she immediately noticed my abnormality. This is entirely due to the distinguishing function of feudal dross.
I shook my head helplessly and said less in the future. If someone discovers that I am a person who has traveled through time in the future, I'm afraid it will be troublesome.
I followed the palace maid silently, and soon arrived at Zaifeng's office.
When I arrived at Zaifeng's courtyard, I saw my junior sister standing in the courtyard. So I said: "Junior sister, I am here, you go back first."
Junior sister: "Okay, senior brother. I'll go over there and have a look."
After a while I came to Zaifeng's study and said, "Meet the Regent Qiantose."
Zaifeng put down the brush in his hand and said: "Shanfeng, your plan to disperse the people today is very clever, and it is in line with the king's wishes. In this world, is it the king's land, and the shore of the land is the king's ministers. Even so, But these people are also my subjects of the Qing Dynasty. Although I am unable to let them live a better life, it is my duty to love them as much as possible. Your strategy is very good. I will take care of those people. Thank you. It’s you, Shanfeng.”
I was secretly surprised. Zaifeng was really generous. If the Qing Dynasty was not about to run out of power, maybe Zaifeng would really be a good emperor.
Me: "Your Majesty, why are the people outside the palace clamoring to take back the railway? It's really strange."
Zaifeng thought for a moment and then said: "This is a state matter, and you are my king's military attache. You are not qualified to know these things, but you are from Taihang after all, so it doesn't hurt for me to talk about it."
I was overjoyed: "Please ask the regent to clear up the confusion."
Zaifeng paced in the study: "Shanfeng, do you think the railway is very important to me, the Qing Dynasty?"
I immediately replied: "Of course it is extremely important!" Railways are very important both in ancient times and in the future. This is a matter of common sense. Needless to say.
Zaifeng nodded and then asked me: "How important is it?"
My heart suddenly skipped a beat. Damn it, I only knew that railways were important, but I had only a partial understanding of how important they were. This is going to be embarrassing.
I tried hard to recall the information about railways in the 21st century, and then quickly compared the current situation in the late Qing Dynasty, and then quickly came up with several important points about railways: "First, railways are important means of transportation, and trains are fast. , which can speed up transportation in various provinces and places. For example, when I came to the capital this time, I took the railway and arrived in just two days, which is much faster than riding a horse and riding a car."
Zaifeng nodded: "Is there more?"
