"Sir, a telegram came from Xiangjiang just now." A soldier in black jacket whispered.

"A bastard, I'm still sending a telegram at this time." Nalan Yuanshu, who was watching the situation outside the Telegraph Bureau with a telegraph lens, frowned.

"The telegram said that someone in the provincial capital was plotting to rebel!" The soldier approached Nalan Yuanshu's ear and whispered.

"This is a translator." Then he handed over a yellow tissue paper.

Nalan Yuanshu took the translator and watched it carefully, and the telegraph was creaking again at this time.

"Sir, there is another urgent telegram from Xiangjiang." The soldier looked at the message coming carefully.

"The situation is serious, you must do your best to guard the Telegraph Bureau. I will go to the Governor's Office."

"Abide by the order!"

That night, all military officers at all levels in Guangzhou met secretly here.

"Governor, the rebellion of the revolutionary party is really ready to take action at this time." Nalan Yuan said as he took out two telegrams from his sleeve and handed them over.

"As expected, they must have contributed to the flames behind those students." The Governor snorted coldly.

"But now that things have come to this point, you can tell your own ideas." Then the Governor glanced at everyone present and said.

"It's just some miscellaneous things that hide their heads and tails. Just give me a man to ensure that those guys from the revolutionary party will never come back!" The man spoke with a bearded face. He knew that this guy was impulsive just by listening to his words.

"Hmph, let alone the situation is chaotic now. How can we have so many people to use? Just how can we catch those big rats with hidden heads and tails? If they hadn't been exposed in Xiangjiang this time, we would have been kept in the dark." As soon as the man finished speaking, someone refuted it, but the man looked distracted. His brainless words were originally a role of throwing bricks and attracting jade. If no one criticized him, there would be a problem. But since he spoke, he had to leave an idea. Therefore, he asked again.

"Since Lord Li said that, I guess he already had an idea in his mind. Why would you say it out for everyone and let Wang have a long experience?"

"There is only one town in Guangzhou now, one of which is responsible for defending the city, and one of them suppresses all places. In addition, the concessions, telegraph offices and other important places also require a large amount of troops. In this way, we have less than two battalions of troops to use. We need to consider where the troops of these two battalions are to be used."

"The arms used for rebellion were transported from Xiangjiang by water. As long as there were no weapons, they would be wolves without minions and could not do anything big, so the waterway must be strictly investigated. Also, I heard that a leader of the revolutionary party was in Guangzhou?"

As the secret meeting proceeded, teams of soldiers began to secretly rush from the barracks to all directions.

Of course, the sound of gunfire on the street never stopped.

The flame-burning talisman arrows rushed into the Tongwen Pavilion in Guangzhou. Students aged five or six were generally hidden in the warehouse by teachers.

The other teachers with a little combat power in the museum were defending the land with the soldiers.

"How come these damn White Lotus Sects don't even let go of school." One of the teachers gritted their teeth. The students in the museum are the future of China. There is no next generation with good education and no next generation who can learn advanced knowledge of foreigners. What is China talking about the rise? Just the Bodhisattva, Maitreya, who has never appeared?

"It is precisely because of the stupidity of the people that these enlightened people are more precious, so we need to learn advanced foreign knowledge to teach the world. Brother Yuzhen, when this is the time to serve the country!" Another teacher said passionately.

"That's right!" The other teachers were also responding.

However, the white lotus became more and more powerful, and their believers rushed towards the broken boat in the wind and rain in Tongwenguan like a tide.

There were only one platoon of soldiers guarding the Tongwenguan, and more than 30 people, leaning against temporary obstacles such as tables, chairs, sandbags, etc. to resist the attack of the White Lotus Cultists.

Having said that, the strength of the Qing army today cannot be underestimated, because it is a new army re-trained based on the German army, known as the strongest army in the world. In addition, it has fought many times with Britain, France, Russia, Japan and other countries, so the Qing army is now extremely strong.

On the other hand, although these White Lotus scholars are very popular, they are mostly malnourished because they are mostly poor people, and they are not covered in clothes. Holding a bamboo spear in their hands can be considered a weapon.

After seeing the power of the Qing army's muskets, they all hesitated. Only those real crazy believers dared to rush forward with great risk of their lives, and were always shot by the Qing army in a wave of shooting. In the end, they were called back by the leader of the White Lotus Sect, who was so distressed that they stopped and died indifferently.

These Qing troops were not a loss to be veterans who had passed the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, and their strength was excellent. They actually dragged the White Lotus Sect here.

However, the number of people is too small, so I can only focus on guarding a few places.

The leaders of the White Lotus Sect also knew this, so they decisively left most of the cannon fodder and all the shooters here, so that they could attract firepower on the front.

Then, several Bailian guards with excellent martial arts skills were asked to find some elite soldiers to sneak attack their backs and sides, making these people care about their heads and tails and feet alone.

I have to say that he is still a bit strategic. After all, the number of Qing army was too small, and they also knew that these soldiers of the Qing army were stationed here only due to orders. He was sure that as long as there was a setback, these soldiers would retreat. After all, Tongwenguan is not a strategic location, and even if it was lost, it would be fine. Instead, it would be a matter of life to stay here to face the anger of their White Lotus Sect.

Sure enough, when the soldiers saw someone surrounding him from the side, they fired a few shots and realized that they could not be defended here, the soldiers decisively covered each other and retreated.

When the other White Lotus cannon fodder saw the Qing army withdraw, they immediately rushed into Tongwenguan as if they were injected with chicken blood. Regardless of whether it was Chinese or foreigners, they would be killed anyway.

Then when it was almost dawn, a fire was set to burn the Tongwenguan to ashes, and then, as if he had won a big victory, he returned to their temporary base in Guangzhou Chaotianguan.

Although the raging fire illuminated the sky, the others in Guangzhou were completely unaware of it. The people around who had watched the White Lotus Sect finish their journey quickly moved all the debris around the Tongwenguan to prevent the fire from spreading and implicating it in other places.

"Oh, I'm a sin." A long sigh rang out at this moment, but it was just the most insignificant sigh in the sad world.
