When Xie Teng and Qin Yuhai left the Trafford with the soldiers, Liu Ximing and others suddenly became much more casual. Overnight, they changed positions with foreigners, and became free from prison. Not only did they change into foreigners' clothes, but they also boarded the foreigners' ship. It turned out that the foreigners on this ship were locked up in the house where they were imprisoned before. Until now, everyone still had a sense of innocence.

A soldier said to Liu Ximing: "Captain, are we dreaming? Now we are really free?"

Liu Ximing glared at him and said, "Why would you bite your fingers and see if it hurts?"

The soldier said, "I won't hide it from the boss. I bit it just now, it hurts."

Liu Ximing said: "Will that be a knot?"

Another soldier said: "Captain Ben, are you really Chinese overseas? I have never heard of Chinese people who founded the country overseas!"

Liu Ximing had no words yet, and another soldier said, "There are so many things you haven't heard of. Are they all the same as us, they are all yellow-skinned and dark-haired, all of which are descendants of China, and their accents are not needed. Is this fake? I just hope that they can drive all the foreign ghosts out of the Qing Dynasty and allow us to settle for a few days."

Liu Xi said with clarity and said, "This is the truth. No matter whether they are Chinese descendants or not, they can only help our Qing Dynasty defeat foreign ghosts."

Another soldier said, "Ben is so pretty, but can they beat foreigners?"

Someone immediately retorted: "Why can't you beat it? Didn't you just take down Dagukou by them? Also during the day, you didn't see the foreign iron armored ships sunk in the sea and the foreign ghosts they caught. Is this fake? I think there are at least two thousand people. When can we catch so many foreign ghosts?"

A soldier next to him also said, "Yes, yes, I've seen his warship. That one is called Big, which is several times larger than the Dingyuan of our Beiyang Navy back then. My mother, is there such a big ship in the world?"

However, someone immediately refuted him: "That may not be possible. The foreign ghosts stayed in Dagukou. Moreover, they attacked Dagukou at night and caught the foreign ghosts off guard. But the foreign ghosts' strength cannot be seen. There are still tens of thousands of foreign ghosts in Beijing? No matter how they think they only have one or two thousand people, I think it's so bad, unless they are just the vanguard and there are a large group of people behind them."

Someone Fu He also said, "Yes, yes, I have seen their warships, but they are not big, but what's the use of being big? The ship is strong and the cannons must be profitable. I see that each warship only has one cannon on it, and the caliber is only three or four inches long. Such a naval gun cannot be as good as the iron armored ships of the foreigners. Even the cannons on our Sea Dragon ships are not worse than them. If the foreign ghosts send iron armored ships over, how can they beat them?"

"Can't you beat them? I've seen those warships that were sunk in the sea? There are several large iron armored ships, but they are not inferior to our Dingyuan and Zhenyuan. Since they can sink these warships, it is naturally someone's way."

Originally, Liu Ximing listened to the soldiers' discussions with a very relaxed attitude, but when the soldiers talked about Dingyuan and Zhenyuan ships, Liu Ximing couldn't help but feel nervous. It turned out that he had served as a gunner on the Zhenyuan ship and participated in the Dadonggou Naval Battle. Liu Ximing was never willing to mention the war that ruined the Beiyang Navy. Now the scenes of that naval battle are very clearly in Liu Ximing's mind, and every detail has not been forgotten.

The soldiers smiled. Only then did someone find that Liu Ximing had no words for a long time, and couldn't help but say, "Captain Ben, what's wrong with you?"

Liu Ximing came to his senses and smiled, saying, "I'm a little tired, everyone should rest early, we'll get up early tomorrow."

After hearing this, the soldiers stopped and laughed and went to bed. After a while, the cabin was filled with sounds. However, Liu Ximing couldn't sleep. He had studied in the Fujian Naval Academy, so he had more knowledge than ordinary soldiers and had some understanding of the situation of the world navy. Ding and Zhen two ships were the pride of the Beiyang Navy at that time, but at this time, it was nothing. This time the Eight-Nation Alliance sent the Qing warships to the Qing Dynasty. Ding and Zhen two ships were still there and were not an opponent, but this overseas Chinese fleet wiped out the Eight-Nation Alliance fleet. Liu Ximing was also very surprised in his heart how he did it with the cannons on these warships.

In the battle of Dadonggou, although the Beiyang Navy lost, the two ships were hit by hundreds of shots with their strong thick armor, but they remained still unmoved, which made Ito Yukishi Ito, the commander of the Japanese Joint Fleet, sigh, "You can't sink these two ships." In the fleet of the Eight-Nation Alliance, as far as Liu Ximing knew, at least the armor of the Russian battleship, the Sisoi was a little thicker than that of the two ships. Although the Russians were just armored cruisers, they were also quite different. The tonnage of the two ships was far from that of the two ships. The tonnage of the two ships was far above that of the two ships. It could be matched by the two ships alone, and the two ships had almost no chance of winning.

But now these two 10,000-ton giant ships are lying quietly in the sea. I don’t know how this group of overseas Chinese did it. And Liu Ximing thought that if the overseas Chinese had returned to China a few years ago, then with their help, the Qing Dynasty might not have lost in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895. I don’t know if they still want people. If they can join them, they will definitely be able to avenge the Sino-Japanese War of 1895.

Thinking of this, Liu Ximing couldn't sleep anymore, and his mind was full of thoughts on how to join this overseas Chinese fleet, even if it was just a soldier.

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

As night fell, the whole Dagukou was silent, and the noise and bustle during the day stopped completely. But Gong Jinyan was lying on the couch and tossing and turning, so why couldn't she sleep? Because what happened during the day today brought her a huge impact, not only allowed her to gain freedom from a female prisoner who allowed foreigners to be allowed to be free, but also the female officer named Gao Jun said to them.

Unlike other women, Gong Jinyan was a member of the Boxer Rebellion and a formal member of the red light. It turned out that Gong Jinyan was a native of Tianjin and was born in a farmer family. However, his father was a child. Although he did not pass the imperial examination, he knew the words and was very knowledgeable. In addition to farming, he also taught some children. He had a few acres of land at home, so he could live a day. Gong Jinyan followed his father and also knew some words.

After Gong Jinyan got married, both parents died, and the land was naturally inherited by Gong Jinyan and his wife. In addition, the land of their husband's family reached twelve or three acres. In this era, it was a good family. In addition, the couple worked hard to cultivate, which made the land prosperous, so their life was considered insufficient and more than the lower.

But the dozen acres of land in their family suffered disasters. A scoundrel in the same village saw that the crops in their fields were growing well, but they didn't know that they were the result of their hard work and planting, but they only said that it was more than ten acres of good land, so they asked them to buy these dozen acres of land.

Gong Jinyan and his wife were naturally unwilling to sell them, so they started arguing. The rogue actually attracted a few friends with alcohol and meat, beat them up, and forcibly occupied the land. The couple naturally couldn't swallow this, so they sued the other party to the government. Knowing that the rogue was actually a priest, the priest who moved out of the church came forward and put pressure on the county magistrate to shelter the rogue. The magistrate naturally did not dare to offend foreigners, let alone the priest of the foreigners. As a result, not only did not punish the rogue, but also sentenced the couple to accusation of good people, accusing falsely, disturbing the church, disturbing friendly countries, and putting the couple to prison and awaiting trial.

Because he had no money to fight the prison guards and was furious, Gong Jinyan's husband died of illness in prison within a month, and Gong Jinyan also suffered a lot of friction in prison. But at this time, the Boxer Rebellion spread from Shandong to the Hebei-Beijing-Jin area, destroying churches everywhere, killing foreign religious people, attacking the concessions, and releasing prisoners in the prison. Gong Jinyan also escaped from the prison.

After being released from prison, Gong Jinyan joined the Boxer Rebellion without hesitation. Because she was a girl and could read, the Boxer Rebellion's eldest brother asked her to join the Red Lane, and worshipped the Virgin Mary of Huanglian Lin Hei'er as his teacher. He led the Boxer Rebellion back to his village, killing the rogues who framed their family, burning the church where the rogues surrendered to, killing all the priests, nuns, and religious people in the church, killing more than 30 people in one go, avenging her husband.

From then on, Gong Jinyan was determined to follow the Boxer Rebellion and the red lights, and from a weak woman became a resolute anti-Japanese fence. He followed the elder brother and senior sister to learn martial arts, and naturally believed in the magical skills of the Boxer Rebellion. Moreover, every time he attacked the concession, killed foreigners, burned churches, and killed the people, he rushed to the forefront. There were no less than ten priests and nuns who died at Gong Jinyan's hands. He also became famous in the red lights, and was highly appreciated by the Huanglian Holy Mother Lin Heier, and also promoted her to the level of her senior sister, ranking sixteenth. He was called the Sixteenth Senior Sister in the red lights.

At this moment, the great powers formed the Eight-Nation Alliance to attack China. In the battle to attack Tianjin, the Boxers were defeated by the Eight-Nation Alliance. The so-called invincible magical powers were completely destroyed, and the red lights were also heavy losses. Lin Hei'er died in the chaos, and the other leaders did not know how to live or die. Gong Jinyan escaped from the battlefield by chance and changed into ordinary people's clothes, thus avoiding the pursuit of the Eight-Nation Alliance.
