Heaven's Martial Fate

Chapter 165 Butterfly Wings
Fortunately, Tan Sitong has some city after all, and at the last moment he did not reveal the details of his so-called army.

If Tan Sitong and Wang Wu were the characters in the movie "The Five Kings of the Great Sword", Wu Dong would naturally know which team Tan Sitong called his "own army".

It can only be said that this movie deliberately vilified Yuan Datou, and made the new leader of the Beiyang line look down upon.

Being able to catch up from behind and leapfrog the big bosses of Beiyang in the Li Zhongtang era in one fell swoop, and become the new leader of Beiyang, it is impossible to achieve such an achievement simply by betraying Emperor Guangxu.

Of course, Wu Dong had no interest in Lao Yuan, and he didn't intend to contact him. Naturally, he didn't care about his reputation, and how he was reused by the old witch Cixi.

A witty ridicule hit Da Dao Wang Wu and Tan Sitong hard.

Wu Dong didn't need to care about Tan Sitong's life or death, but Wang Wu of the Great Swordsman didn't want it. It was meaningless to die as badly as in the movie.

Wu Dong simply sent someone to take the two of them around the whole Ludi.

Especially the foreign churches and places where local conflicts are most intense, none of them were spared.

It was already a month later when I saw these two again.

Obviously, neither of them is in a good state of mind.

They never thought that the situation in Ludi would be so bad.

The conflict between folks and foreigners has reached the verge of a complete eruption.

For a period of time, they felt terrified looking at it, for fear that a fierce conflict would break out and cause casualties right under their noses.

Whether it is casualties of foreigners or local people, it is not a good thing.

Wang Wu told Wu Dong in private that if a fierce bloody conflict broke out at that time, he would definitely not stand idly by.

When he said this, his eyes were bloodshot, and his posture was full of evil spirits, obviously he was really angry.

Needless to say, what the foreigner church did in Ludi angered this hero of the capital with a strong sense of justice.

In addition, he also questioned: The foreigner church in Ludi is so rampant, with the strength of Senior Brother Wu, why didn't they get rid of it?
Obviously, Wang Wu and Tan Sitong had seen the momentum of various Buddhist altars during their visits.

As one of the most powerful altars in Ludi, the strength of the Jiaoao altar is definitely the most powerful in Ludi.

Wang Wu didn't understand, how could foreigners be allowed to be so arrogant in Ludi with the strength of Wu Dong's altar?
Others don't know, doesn't he understand?

A few years ago, the army landed in the Weihaiwei area in a small day. In fact, it was overthrown by senior brother Wu and had nothing to do with the Weihaiwei navy.

No matter how you look at it, senior brother Wu is not an existence that can tolerate foreigners being domineering.

Wu Dong didn't answer, and asked his confidant to take Wang Wu and Tan Sitong to walk around the Jiao'ao area.

When he saw Wang Wu again, this fellow's expression changed again.

"Senior Brother Wu, I was too harsh, Jiao'ao Dharma Altar has done a good job!"

Can it be bad, the foreign church forces here are suppressed in the church, and there is no way to come out to toss and harm the people, which is much stronger than other places.

"There are altars in other places, and it is impossible for me to stretch my hands too far!"

Wu Dong's tone was calm, and he said indifferently: "Some things, I don't want to be too bold!"

Wang Wu expressed his understanding, but Tan Sitong didn't understand.

After this trip to Ludi, not only did he not stop the idea of ​​assisting Emperor Guangxu in his own administration, but his thoughts became more determined.

According to him, only the emperor himself can get rid of the bad government and restore the world to a bright future.

Well, this is the ideal of young people, Wu Dong has no reason to speak out against it.

However, after walking around Jiao'ao, this fellow encouraged Wu Dong to actively participate.

He believes that with the strength of the Jiao'ao Dharma Altar, it will definitely become a great help for Emperor Guangxu to govern himself.

Young and enthusiastic scholars are inevitably a little naive and impulsive.

He even chanted the slogan of "If you are poor, you will be alone, and if you are rich, you will benefit the world", thinking that Wu Dong's strength is enough.For the stability of my Qing Dynasty and the peaceful life of the people in the future, Wu Dong can't take it lightly.

Got water in your head?

Wu Dong was funny and angry at the same time, and said calmly: "Believe it or not, as long as I make trouble here, the imperial army will kill it immediately, and Emperor Guangxu will never stop it!"

"We may even invite the foreign army to join us!"

Seeing Tan Sitong's bewildered and incomprehensible expression, he sneered and said, "It's only been a long time since the Changmao Rebellion, brother Tan will never forget the imperial court!"

These words left Tan Sitong speechless, and immediately stopped thinking about continuing to persuade.

With this conversation, Tan Sitong seemed to have lost interest in communicating with Wu Dong.

Wu Dong didn't pay attention to these, and sent him away within a few days.

The Hundred Days Restoration came as scheduled, and the capital was in full swing.

Wu Dong ignored it, because the situation in Ludi had become very tense.

From time to time, there will be bloody conflicts between local altars and local foreigner churches.

In Jiaoao waters, there are Prussian warships cruising.

The attention of the Ludi government was obviously attracted by the reforms in the capital, and they did not pay attention to the changes in the local area and the surrounding sea area at all.

Of course, it's not that there are no officials who are worried about accidents, it's just that the court is in chaos now, and they will not take the initiative to make troubles for their own interests.

The Weihaiwei Military Port and the Lushun Military Port were in a panic, and they all entered a state of alert.

Wu Dong went directly to Weihaiwei Military Port, summoned the generals of the Beiyang Navy who stayed behind, and directly made a very bold decision.

That is to send the medium-sized warships in the naval port to patrol closely with the Prussian warships cruising and watching in the sea, without giving them any chance to take advantage of it.

"Isn't it too risky to do this?"

Some navy generals questioned: "If one is not good, a naval battle may break out!"

"Are you afraid?"

Wu Dong gave this guy a cold look, and said in a deep voice: "No matter what, we can't give the Prussians a chance to go ashore, even if we destroy all the warships in the military port!"

What he said made the navy generals present break out in cold sweat.

"Don't worry about your future!"

Seeing the tension in the atmosphere, Wu Dong comforted him slowly: "Since Li Zhongtang was taken down as Minister of Beiyang, it is impossible for the Beiyang Navy to return to its heyday!"

"Even if the Beiyang ministers in the back want to revive the navy, you generals are not the core force of the new navy, and they won't believe it at all!"

"If you continue to hang out in the Beiyang system, then of course there is nothing to say. As long as you don't poke a hole in the sky, or you need to take the blame, you won't be too bad!"

"If you find it boring, you can resign afterwards and go to the Khmer side to re-manage and command the naval forces there!"

"Although the navy over there is not strong, but in a chaotic place like Nanyang, you have to communicate with foreigners, pirates, and armed merchant ships from all sides. There is a possibility of naval battles at any time. You have a chance to play!"

"This time, no matter what the final result is, the benefits that should be given to you will not be less. You decide how to choose!"

After finishing speaking, Wu Dong got up and left directly. There was no room for maneuver in the matter, but it was just a step for the navy general.

This is indeed the case, no matter what the navy generals thought, in short, the medium-sized warships in Weihaiwei and Lushun Naval Ports were dispatched collectively, and they were not afraid of death to circle around the Prussian warships spying on Jiaoao.

Obviously, Wu Dong's previous series of methods still had a lot of effect.

At least, the Prussian warships that came to spy on Jiao'ao were not very powerful, and even compared to the medium-sized warships of the Beiyang Navy in terms of tonnage, it was almost the same.

And the number is not large, and there are no army officers and soldiers on board. Otherwise, how could it be surrounded and protected by the warships of the Beiyang Navy?

The Prussian warship said that they were just passing by, and hoped that the Beiyang Navy warship would not be overly sensitive, and it would be unnecessary to make too much noise.

Hearing the "weakness" of the Prussian warships, the surrounding navy warships were relieved, saying that the sea area is not peaceful recently, and they also protect each other out of good intentions.

The two sides talked more and more shameless nonsense, and kept entangled for almost three days. In the end, the Prussian warship couldn't stand it, and took the initiative to retreat and leave.

After Wu Dong found out through the radio carried on the warship, he heaved a long sigh of relief in his old lair in Jiao'ao.

His little butterfly wings still stirred up a lot of wind and waves, and the things that happened in the original history were directly blown away.

For China, this is definitely a rare and good thing.

When a group of navy generals celebrated with excitement at Weihaiwei Military Port, Wu Dong was also in a very happy mood.

I don't know if the retreat of the Prussian warships dealt a big blow to the foreign forces in Ludi, and the original arrogance has been reduced a lot.

Brothers from all over the altar saw them, and thought that the foreigners were afraid of their majestic momentum, and all of them were so bullish that their tails almost turned up, and they frequently moved unrelentingly.

What Wu Dong didn't expect was that news came from Lushun across the sea.

I don't know what the reason is, or the toughness of the Beiyang Navy was unexpected, or it was shocked by Liaodong Yiyong's hard work.

In normal history, Emperor Russia, who forcibly robbed the Lushun military port on the grounds of expelling the Xiaotian army, did not even step into the border of Liaodong. .

It can be said that the existence of Wu Dong has completely changed the history of this period.

Of course, what has not changed is that the Reform Movement of [-] in Beijing still only lasted for a hundred days, and then ended with Kang Nanhai running away and Emperor Guangxu being placed under house arrest.

And Wu Dong heard a very bad news that Da Dao Wang Wu was arrested.

I don't know what to say, the people in charge have all run away, is it really good for you to be such a hot-blooded thug...
