Chapter 66 Eight-Nation Allied Forces
He Shen, who is familiar with history, naturally knows what they are planning, but unfortunately it backfires.

He originally held high righteousness to support the Qing Dynasty and destroy the foreign countries, and helped China resist imperialist aggression.

But when it was prosperous, it was used by people with intentions and became a tool of the rulers, committing many appalling and inhumane acts.

In the end, not only was it suppressed, but it also accelerated the demise of the Qing government, causing the Chinese civilization to suffer greater suffering.

Fortunately, they smashed the arrogant plans of the imperialist powers to carve up China, inspired the people's patriotism, and enabled many far-sighted people to embark on the long and rugged road to national salvation.

He Shen really didn't want to get involved, he just wanted to focus on practicing martial arts, and Master Du never mentioned this to him.

However, he was not idle either. He first found Mr. Qin and explained to him the pros and cons.

He was told to tighten up his business, pay attention to changes in the situation at all times, and never interfere in this matter.

In addition, He Shen also asked Li San to keep an eye on the teahouse and not to go out unless something happened. All purchases in the teahouse must be delivered to the door.

The situation quickly exceeded expectations, and the Qing government allowed the Boxers to enter the inner city.

On the first day, the Asili Church in Xiaoshun Hutong, Double Flagpole London Church, Bamiancao East Catholic Church, Dengshikou Congregational Church, American Evangelical Church, American North Presbyterian Church, Catholic West Church, Xisi Mutton Hutong Christian Church, and Stone Prince Consort Bridge were burned down. There are 11 churches in total including Anglican Church and Xuanwumen Nei Catholic South Church.

At first, they only burned down churches and massacred parishioners. Later, they indulged in disorder and gradually attacked innocent civilians.

During this period, they falsely accused many women and children of being remnants of the White Lotus Sect, and then gathered people to burn, burn, and kill them. The methods were extremely cruel.

As the Boxers were divided into different factions, their interests began to avenge each other, and the fights gradually turned from ordinary armed fights to large-scale armed fights.

Because there was no one to control them, they gradually colluded with the troops stationed in other places, and began to burn, kill, loot, and rape and kill women.

They even robbed merchants and civilians of their stolen goods and auctioned them off in public. Even the families of bannermen and officials were not spared.

As the saying goes: "In a nest full of people, there are no eggs left."

He Shen's small teahouse was also ransacked, but fortunately there were no casualties.

It was just pity for him as the shopkeeper. The boxers in the city knew from nowhere that he had become a natural disciple, so people kept coming to challenge him.

When I was crazy, I received three challenges in one day.

The only misfortune was that He Shen had only been practicing martial arts for a year, and was obviously half-experienced. Even if he turned on the explosive mode, he would often be beaten to pieces.

Du Xinwu couldn't stand it anymore, so he stood up to speak for him, but it caused even greater backlash.

Masters from many sects challenged him one after another, but Du Xinwu was not an ordinary person and directly challenged the world's masters.

This battle made him famous, and he successively defeated masters of Tai Chi, Bagua, Baji, Xingyi and so on.

It also made Natural Gate famous.

The only stain is He Shen, a scoundrel. Many people don't understand why a master like Du Xinwu would accept such goods.

When he first heard these dirty words, Heshen was so angry that he wanted to use the Kame Sennin experience card to kill all these garbage.

Later, I figured it out.

It is unavoidable to be ridiculed if one is not good enough, and one must work hard in the future.

As the Boxer Rebellion continued to grow in momentum, it finally attracted protests from Western diplomats. Cixi Lafayette was still stubborn and chose to ignore it.

Then he intensified his support for the Boxer Rebellion and even ambushed the German Minister to China Klind, which became an excuse for the great powers to launch a war.

So the Qing government, in the name of Guangxu, declared war on eleven countries at the same time: Britain, the United States, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia, Spain, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Austria.

There was also a reward for killing foreigners, stipulating that "a foreigner would be rewarded 50 taels; a foreign woman would be rewarded 40 taels; a foreign child would be rewarded 30 taels."

Eventually it led to a joint attack by the eight countries.

At the beginning, both sides only invested 10,000+ troops, including 15 Boxers plus Qing troops and 3 Eight-Nation Allied Forces.As the war expanded, the number of troops on both sides soon increased to hundreds of thousands.

Facing the foreign guns and artillery of the great powers, the martial arts masters among the Boxers suffered heavy casualties.

This contest between martial arts and guns can’t help but make people sigh, but it finally made the Chinese people realize the importance of technology.

Within a month, the coalition forces occupied Tianjin, and Yulu, the governor of Zhili, was defeated and committed suicide.

A month later, the Eight-Power Allied Forces captured BJ, and Cixi and the royal family fled in panic.

After the Eight-Power Allied Forces occupied BJ, they hunted and killed the Boxers. Later, they ignored them and killed everyone they saw.

What's more, women were captured everywhere and allowed to be ravaged by their soldiers. Many people refused to be humiliated and committed suicide.

Even more excessive than the Boxer Rebellion.

The most humiliating thing was that the Eight-Power Allied Forces held a military parade in Tiananmen Square and then looted BJ City wildly.

A large number of cultural relics in the imperial palace and the Summer Palace were looted and destroyed, and tens of millions of taels of silver were seized from the palaces of princes and ministers.

Precious ancient books such as "Yongle Dadian" and "Siku Quanshu" were also burned.

He Shen hides in the teahouse every day, feeling heartbroken but helpless. It's not that he doesn't want to help, it's because his personal power is too small.

For example, if he releases a turtle shock wave on the battlefield, it can indeed wipe out the Eight-Nation Allied Forces, but won't they send more troops to test it?

As long as he sends troops twice, He Shen's true colors will be revealed.

Moreover, only destroying foreign enemies cannot make the domestic people live and work in peace and contentment. As long as the decadent Qing government exists, the current situation of China's weak feudalism will not be improved.

Of course there are other ways, like revolution!
It's just that there is an invisible sword hanging above the sky. Sorry to go too far!
On this day, He Shen came out of the room, holding a cross in his hand, and called Li San over.

"Li San, go hang these crosses in conspicuous places in the teahouse."

Looking at the cross, Li San was very puzzled, and then he asked: "Boss, foreigners are burning, killing and looting outside, why are you still hanging this thing?"

"What do you know!"

I'm not here for system tasks. If foreigners burn this place down, I won't even be able to cry.

Watching Li San hang up the cross, He Shen went out immediately.

After hiding at home for a few days, it's time to say hello to Master and learn about the current situation in the capital by the way.

At this time, the city of BJ was full of waste and waste, and some nooks and crannies still exuded the stench of corpses.

There were almost no people on the street, only foreign soldiers looting from house to house, and continuous crying and shouting.

Once questioned by soldiers, He Shen would respond in German.

Approaching Master Du's Jiangfang compound, I saw thick smoke billowing from a distance, and I quickly ran over in a hurry.

All that was left was the burnt ruins of the courtyard, with open flames flickering here and there. I looked around, but I couldn't see Master Du.

This situation made He Shen furious.

Mudd!What a deception!
If I don’t show off my power, will I really think that there is no one in China?

Since you are here, don't leave.

He Shen snatched a war horse from a passing soldier and drove all the way out of BJ City and headed straight to Dagukou, Tianjin.
