Chapter 110 A skirmish
That's what happened in the 27th year of Guangxu.
At that time, the great powers encroached on the land of China and plundered the interests of resources, and the Holy See also issued a religious order vowing to take advantage of this rare opportunity to let the glory of the Lord cover this pagan land.
After receiving the Pope's will, missionaries from churches in various countries set out one after another to go to this strange land to build large and small churches in urban villages. Churches and churches established in this situation are themselves a deformed existence, and conflicts between the parishioners and ordinary people occur from time to time.
That year, a church was also built in Jintan County at the foot of Maoshan Mountain.
Those priests quickly attracted a group of the religious people by means such as sending foreign noodles and rice. As foreign adults, they support the religious people in case of trouble. Naturally, the government does not dare to provoke some foreign adults. Once there is a conflict in the teaching case, either ignore it or favor the religious people. The people of Jintan were angry, and their resentment broke out, so they gathered together and beat the people who did evil, and even cut off the nose and ears of the two most harmful people. Unexpectedly, they provoked the foreign monks in the church. They did not oppress the government as usual. Instead, they rushed to the village where the incident happened that night, causing the magic to turn the whole village into zombies and hurt people everywhere. The church took the opportunity to publicize and believe that they could be sheltered.
When the Taoists of the Maoshan School heard the news that zombies were harmful to people, they would not sit idly by and send four disciples down the mountain to remove the corpses. In addition to the zombies, there was a conflict with the church. The missionaries fought against Maoshan Taoist priests and injured all four Maoshan disciples. The four Maoshan disciples fled back to the faction to talk about the situation, and took out the collected evidence of the church to harm people with spells. At that time, the head of the Maoshan school, Yu Jihai, went down the mountain to ask for justice, defeated the Jintan County missionary, and killed all eight missionaries in the church. Unexpectedly, I missed a guy who went out to buy. The pick-up priest returned to the church and looked at this scene. He didn't dare to stay in Jintan County anymore. He packed up his things and left quickly. When he arrived at the provincial capital, he met a bishop named James on patrol, so he ran to cry.
Bishop James is a Chinese connoisseur. After hearing about this, he actually handed over the post to fight against Yujihai according to China's rules, and did not mention that they used spells to harm people. He only said that he would solve the contradictions between the two sides in this battle. If he was defeated, the power of the court would no longer set foot in the scope of the Golden Altar from now on, and compensate the four Maoshan brothers who were injured. Son.
Yu Jihai saw that since the other party was following the rules, he took over the battle letter and set the decisive time.
At that time, when the Songyan Taoist took his big apprentice Yong Hansheng and a few young apprentices and grandchildren to visit the Maoshan School, he advised Yu Jihai to be careful. Don't believe these foreign devils. The foreign devils have many tricks and have always liked to do bad things. Maybe they have left some bad tricks to wait there. If you want to say that they will challenge according to the right way, it is the ghost capital. Something you don't believe!
But Yu Jihai was strong in magic. He didn't take the words of Songyan Taoist to heart. He just said that no matter what conspiracy and tricks the other party had, I used the spell, and then I beat them all to death. I went back to see the god called God they worshipped. When the day came, he took his eldest disciple, that is, his biological son Yu Xianshan, to the appointment.
The Songyan Taoist persuaded the fish to help the sea. He planned to go with him. First, he would be a witness. If something was wrong, he could take care of it. Unfortunately, on the day of the incident, the Songyan Taoist received an emergency call. A distant visitor who had brought important news for a long time arrived at the provincial capital, and the Songyan Taoist had to rush. The provincial capital went to meet the distant visitor and arranged for his disciple Yong Hansheng to take his apprentice.
The decisive battle was about the wild pine forest on the outskirts of Jintan County. When Yu Jihai and his party arrived, they saw that Bishop James had already been waiting there, with only two missionaries, one of whom was the one who fled from Jintan County.
The two sides didn't speculatively. After talking about the next scene, Yu Jihai and James fought together. This oriental Taoism and the spells of the Holy See are ingenious, but Yu Jihai is the leader of the faction that has been circulating for thousands of years on China's hegemony, and James is a little bishop at best. He can't be compared with Yu Jihai in terms of spell cultivation. He fell behind in just a moment. Seeing that he was about to be defeated, he took out his pistol. Come on, Bang Bang fired several shots at Yujihai. Fortunately, Yujihai had been on guard for a long time. He used the escape technique of Maoshan to dodge and came forward to take James's pistol. James's head-on duel spell was not as good as human, so that the yin trick was found again. He immediately turned around and ran into the wild pine forest.
Yu Jihai didn't dare to let him go. He shouted to stop and chased him.
At this time, Yong Hansheng's heavenly skill was small and successful. Seeing Yu Jihai chasing the fugitives, his heart jumped and felt that it was not appropriate. He pinched and calculated. He only felt that the killing machine was infinite. He couldn't help but be shocked and quickly greeted Yu Jihai to come back.
If the Songyan Taoist said hello, Yu Jihai might be able to think about it, but he didn't pay attention to Yong Hansheng's words at all. He just turned around and smiled and said a word of reassurance, and chased after him.
Then, he died.
Without waiting to get close, there was a sudden gunshot in the forest, and the dense firepower turned the head of the Maoshan faction into a sieve on the spot, and there was no chance to use escape.
James ambushed a hundred people in the forest. In addition to the rifle, there was even a Maxim heavy machine gun!
This decisive battle is over.
Yu Xianshan went crazy to rush to avenge his father. Fortunately, Yong Hansheng held him tightly and did not make him the second Maoshan Taoist priest who died under the gun of foreigners.
Several people robbed the body of Yujihai, fled back to Maoshan, and sent a funeral. Yu Xianshan took his disciples to swear in front of his father's grave that this revenge must be avenged! When Ye Yu Xianshan took his disciples to the Golden Altar, he found that there was no one in the church. He asked someone to find out. After the decisive battle that day, James returned to the Golden Altar and hurriedly left with his things. Yu Xianshan was unwilling and chased to the provincial capital, burning down all the churches in the provincial capital. All the left-behind missionaries were killed, but James was still not caught. The bishop was really empty. Once he caused trouble, he immediately went away. He didn't even stay in the provincial capital. He just packed up his things and went back to Beijing. Yu Xianshan chased and killed thousands of miles. During this, he caught up with James several times, fought bloody battles, and killed many bishops, archbishops and other senior missionaries. There were countless ordinary missionaries. Maoshan disciples were also killed and injured, and the hatred between the two sides deepened, but James, who caused the disaster, was still alive - after he fled to Beijing, he He immediately packed up his things and went back to Europe. Since then, his whereabouts have been unknown.
However, the blood feud between the Maoshan faction and the Holy See has been concluded, and it is naturally impossible to stop. The two sides have been fighting for more than a year. Although the Holy See is fighting away, the victory is strong, and the Maoshan faction cannot be defeated. I deeply feel that the opponent is strong. When the Songyan Taoist is righteous, they are the first to respond and join the Tongxin Association.
